The bonus ghost for this first scene is Blue Ghost (
), which is worth 2 points, and a total of 40 points are required to continue to the next scene.
Welcome to the game. Once the diorama has been lighten up, the trapdoor will open, as eight Balloon Pop and eight Tuna emerge from it; once you have fired a shot at each to kill them, the treasure chest and the clam will open up, as one Blue Ghost and Tuna will appear out of them respectively. Once you have fired a shot at each to kill them, the sunken ship will move slightly to the left, and the clam and treasure chest will open, as one Blue Ghost and three Snapper appear out of them all; once you have fired a shot at each to kill them, a Balloon Pop will appear towards the centre of the screen from the middle right, while another Tosu will spring out of the treasure chest. Once you have fired a shot at each of them, a second Balloon Pop will appear towards the centre of the screen from the middle left, and yet another Tosu and a second Blue Ghost will materialize and move towards the centre of the screen; once you have fired a shot at all of them to kill them, the treasure chest, sunken ship, trapdoor and clam will open, as two Blue Ghost, five Tosu and three Balloon Pop appear out of them. Once you have fired shots at as many as you can, the trapdoor will open as seven Snapper will appear and move towards the bottom of the screen; once you have fired a shot at each to kill them, the sunken ship will move slightly towards the left, as seven more Balloon Pop will make their way towards the top left of the screen. Once you have fired a shot to kill them all, seven Tuna will materialize out of a small cavern and move towards the crumbled house; and once you have fired a shot at each to kill them, the trapdoor will open as Boss Pirate will leap towards the centre of the screen and begin to toss bombs at the player, and if you manage to defeat him before the timer runs out, then you will receive a small time bonus, which varies based on the time the player has left after defeating him. If you scored 40 or more points, then the text "SCENE 1 CLEAR" will appear on the screen as the electro-mechanical diorama will turn off the lights; the scoreboard will appear, as the "ZIP" box will be lifted over the "GHOST" box, as the text "ZIP WON!" appears on the screen, and the player will move onto the next scene; however, if you scored less than 39 points, than the text "SCENE 1 OVER" will appear instead, and the "ZIP" box on the scoreboard will be dropped to the bottom of the screen, as the text "GHOSTS WON!" appears, and the game will then be over. If you did score 40 or more points though, you will move onto the next scene as the scoreboard screen will fade out.
