The Real Ghostbusters, known in Europe as Garfield Labyrinth and in Japan as Mickey Mouse IV: Mahō no Labyrinth (ミッキーマウスIV 魔法のラビリンス, Mikkī Mausu Fō: Mahō no Rabirinsu), is a 1993 action-puzzle video game developed by Kemco and published in Japan and Europe by Kemco and in North America by Activision.
The Japanese version is based on Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, which is part of the Mickey Mouse side of Kemco's Crazy Castle series, while the European version is based on Jim Davis's Garfield comic strips and the animated series Garfield and Friends. The North American version is based on the animated series The Real Ghostbusters and contains ten more stages than the previous incarnations.
The game is a direct lift of P. P. Hammer and his Pneumatic Weapon, featuring simplified sprites and near-identical level designs. According to the developer of P. P. Hammer, the port is entirely unauthorized.
The Japanese version was followed by a sequel, Mickey Mouse V: The Magical Stick.
