Manic Panic Ghosts, known as Poka Suka Ghost! It's a Boo Bash! (ポカ☆スカ ゴースト! It's a boo bash!) in Japan, is an arcade game released by Sega for Sega NAOMI arcade hardware in 2007. Sega Logistics Service announced it would end service on the machines on March 31, 2017.

Gameplay

It can be seen as a hybrid between light-gun and "whack-a-mole" games, relying on magic hammer wands which players wave in the air (similar to Wii remotes).

It has so far received no home ports.
