The castle features 24 levels, each concealing three elusive moon crystals. Collecting all 72 crystals requires skillful boss battles, demanding perfect execution to avoid taking any damage. Expect cunning opponents, such as the red ghost, which can reappear after seemingly vanishing.
Shadow Trick offers diverse environments, including aquatic levels where you'll navigate as a shadow, encountering unique and quirky boss encounters.
