Welcome, everyone, to this special edition of Villain’s View! Today, we have a rather notorious guest—the main adversary of the NES game Beetlejuice who prefers to go by anonymous-villain. Thank you for joining us!

Ah, the pleasure is mine! I don’t often get the chance to step out from the shadows and talk about my masterful schemes. I generally leave the monologuing to Beetlejuice himself.

extreme home makeover – ghost edition

Let’s dive right in. What’s it like being the unseen force behind all the mayhem in Beetlejuice?

Oh, it’s a blast! Imagine setting up an amusement park, but instead of customers, you get to torment the living daylights out of Beetlejuice. It’s therapeutic, like extreme home makeover—ghost edition.

The game is built around various traps and enemies. Were there any traps that you thought were particularly fiendish?

Ah, absolutely! The incinerating lasers are my personal favorite. Nothing says “welcome” like a laser barbecue! Also, don’t overlook the torches—they’re so basic yet so effective. Just a little singe here and there keeps Beetlejuice on his toes.

How do you feel about Beetlejuice himself? Is he a worthy opponent?

Worthy? Let’s just say he’s got… spirit. But truly, his incessant yammering and penchant for theatrics would drive even the most patient ghost to the brink. Honestly, watching him fumble through my carefully curated traps is the real entertainment.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice

Some players have complained about the game’s difficulty. Do you have any words of wisdom or perhaps some hidden secrets to share?

Difficulty, you say? I prefer the term “challenge.” But, if you insist on a helping hand, here’s a little nugget: In the attic level, there’s a hidden stash of scare points behind the third portrait on the left. But shh, don’t tell everyone. A villain’s got to maintain some standards!

Can you recall any funny moments or bloopers during the game’s development?

Oh, there was this one time we coded Beetlejuice to fall through floors when standing still for too long. Developers thought it was a glitch. I thought it was genius. Alas, they patched it up—no appreciation for art!

Speaking of the developers, any secrets behind their role in crafting your mischievous antics?

Let’s just say I had a hand—or ghostly wisp—in guiding them. Placing scare points just out of reach, arranging enemy spawns just as you’re about to grab a power-up? All my doing. It’s a symphony of frustration that comes together beautifully.

It’s showtime

Players often forget to utilize power-ups effectively. Any tips on which ones can turn the tide in Beetlejuice’s favor?

Oh, the power-ups! The spook snake? Underrated! Use it sparingly and it’s a game changer. And don’t sleep on the bonus rooms; they’re not just for points but also for some much-needed relief from my heinous contraptions.

For those who manage to beat the game, any special words for them?

Kudos to the brave souls who endure my gauntlet! If you’ve made it past my traps, lasers, and Beetlejuice’s own monologues, you truly have the resilience of a ghostbuster. Wear that badge proudly!

Before we wrap up, can we expect a return or perhaps a retirement from you?

Retirement? Ha! A villain never truly retires; they just plot their next move. I’ve heard whispers of reboots and remakes—it’s the perfect time to refine my artistry. So, don’t hold your breath, or maybe do, because I’m always lurking… in the shadows.

Thank you, anonymous-villain, for this delightful chat. Any final words for our listeners?

Just remember, if you’re finding the game too easy, it means you’ve missed a trap. And if it’s tough—well, that’s by design. Stay spooky, my friends!

That’s all for today, folks! Stay tuned for more from Villain’s View. Until next time!
