Line 10:
* [[Advancing Boss of Doom]]: The Stay Puff Marshmallow Man. Getting too close in Times Square gets the player "stomped into jelly."
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The Ghostbusters's descriptions of the chaos the mandala node will cause - whole city blocks vanishing into other dimensions, cockroaches the size of ponies, panic in the streets... and the return of disco.
** Winston discussing the results of Shandor's antics: "...booger snot ghosts, marshmallow ghouls, spider witches, the comeback of the Civil War, King Tut, and new property in the Hudson that I can't afford."
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: The Juvenile Slor has a glowing green node on top of its head.
** In the Wii version, its replacement, the Black Slime Behemoth, has weak points in its mouths. They're only visible with the Ectogoggles.
Line 33:
* [[The Chessmaster]] / [[Crazy Prepared]]: Gozer cult leader Ivo Shandor, mentioned in the original film but featured much more prominently in the video game.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The plot of the game is essentially an excuse to re-visit every location and set-piece from the first film. The second film is also given some smaller nods, notably the painting of Vigo the Carpathian being disarmingly approachable and quite talkative in the firehouse, the use of the mood slime and slime blowers, and revealing where that slime came from.
* [[Artifact of Doom|Cursed Artifacts]]: Averted. These don't kill the Rookie or his friends, instead they have an infamous dex descriptions.
* [[Deadly Upgrade]]: A lot of the equipment the Rookie gets is untested ([[Fridge Brilliance|though the other Ghostbusters will start using it on the next level after you get it]]), and the warnings are hilariously dangerous. Stripping off some metal from the proton pack wand, for example, can cause numbness in the hands, while altering the PKE Meter can leave stains on your hands that will ''never come off''. Most importantly, the Rookie is the one testing the equipment because, in case there's a problem, the other Ghostbusters don't want to be [[Noodle Incident|blown to New Jersey]]. The Rookie is ''not'' reassured by this.
* [[Destructive Savior]]: The game keeps track of how much property damage you cause through the course of the game. Even if you play through as carefully as possible, it's still going to be in the 6-figure range. There are achievements/trophies for causing more than 3 ''million'' in damage (The Destructor) and less than $300,000 (Nice Shooting, Tex!).
