Ghost

A Ghost is a unique type of Enemy in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. They appear in all the Crystal Door Challenges in the normal levels of Desert Island, as well as only appearing on this Island. The common title for the challenge they appear in is known as the Ghost Race Challenge Game.

Description
They are slightly transparent, white, can float over huge precipices, and howl. They also have arms. They move slightly faster than Croc.

The challenge of these levels is to race these Ghosts as these Ghosts will take any crystal or more importantly Silver Keys that it runs into. The aim is to leave as many crystals behind to slow down the Ghost and obtain the Silver Key which opens a Gobbo Cage or sometimes a Red Button to activate platforms before he devours it.

Most of the time you race the Ghost in the dark, so it helps to know where the shortcuts are. When a Ghost reaches the end of the level, it disappears. There are diagrams of the challenges which will show the paths, crystals, and locations of the Silver Key. See the levels for the diagrams.

Tips

 * Leave as many crystals as you can, the longer you can keep him at bay the more time you'll have finding the Silver Key.
 * If there are forks in the road, instead of going straight ahead go right and sometimes you could cut the distance in half.
 * Just because you found the Cage with the Gobbo/Switch does not mean you've found the Silver Key, always keep moving forward because some stages the Silver Key is at the very end of the level.
 * If he devours the Silver Key, it is too late. If you think he will snag it before you do, you can lose a life by falling off the platform or into a Mud Pit to have another attempt; Remember, if you run out of lives, you'll have to restart the whole level again.
