Beetlejuice: Horrific Hijinx from the Neitherworld! is a video game created by Rare and published by Acclaim Entertainment for the Nintendo Game Boy in 1992. It is based on the Beetlejuice animated television series.
The game begins with the player taking control of Beetlejuice as he attempts to get rid of all the ghosts that he invited into Lydia Deetz's house (where she lives with her father and step-mother). He must rescue Lydia from the evil Astoroth. Using bio-exorcist magic, players must defeat undead creatures through the cemetery and inside the Neitherworld.[5] Players can ride on a minecart and a Pogosnake (that operates in a similar fashion to Super Mario Worlds Yoshi).[5] There are some elements of animated violence along with a dark Goth theme.[5]
In September 2017, a licensed Beetlejuice fun pack for the crossover video game Lego Dimensions was released as one of the 10 franchises owned by Warner Bros. to appear in the game. The release consisted of maps based on locations in the film, playable characters, and missions. It is not a standalone video game, but rather an expansion pack for the existing game Lego Dimensions.
Betelgeuse is set to appear in MultiVersus second season.[6]
