Notes/trivia
The game was announced to be released on the original PlayStation console at the end of the promo for Classic Creep Capers which was included at the end of the Alien Invaders VHS. A promo for the Mystery Adventures CD-ROM games Showdown in Ghost Town and Phantom of the Knight was included as one of the bonus features on the film's DVD release. It was to be released in Fall 2000 along with Classic Creep Capers, Showdown in Ghost Town, and Phantom of the Knight, but it for unknown reasons the original PlayStation version was never released and it ended up being released on the PlayStation 2 console in Spring 2002.
The Phantom
On May 2021, a build of the original PlayStation version was released online. This build, while mostly incomplete in terms of accessibility, has a completely different story compared to the final version. In the original vision, the gang were to meet up with Scoop Spalding, a famous television host, who wants to make Scooby-Doo and the rest of the gang famous. However, in the middle of their conversation, a projection known as The Phantom appears, causing Scoop to disappear. He challenges Mystery, Inc. to find twelve keys in order to track him down, discover his identity, and find Scoop, all while avoiding holographic reproductions of one-hundred of their past foes.
Several of these monsters made it into the final version, such as the Creeper, Ghost of Redbeard, and Headless Specter, while others, which include but are not limited to, the Haunted Horseman of Hagglethorn Hall, Old Iron Face, the Snow Ghost, the Miner Forty-Niner, the Willawaw and its Owl-Men, and the Ghost of Paul Revere, were all removed in the final game.
