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.

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.
