The ghosts make an appearance in [[Freeze Frame]], where they can sometimes be seen zooming along with the cars in the photos. They also appear in the crowd of [[Big Rock Finish]] alongside other kinds of ghosts. In [[Barbershop Remix]], they have hair, and are trying to escape the barbershop. If the player didn't miss any, one can be seen in the second [[Flipper-Flop 2]] section in the seat behind [[Captain Tuck]], complete with an arrow up its nose. | The ghosts make an appearance in [[Freeze Frame]], where they can sometimes be seen zooming along with the cars in the photos.

However, they are weak otherwise, and managing to hit them enough sends them flying off, dropping a rare star boost, which ups all the stats of the player's character. They also appear as a trophy in the "Other" category. | ||
