The combined rhythms overwhelmed Ricardio, disrupting his control over the town. The residents of Amity Park, now freed from his mind control, joined forces with Danny, Sam, and Fright to defeat the villain.
The battle began, with Ricardio unleashing his mind-controlling heartbeats on the town. Danny, with his ghost powers, tried to resist the effects, but even he was not immune. Sam and Fright, however, proved to be more resilient, thanks to their non-ghostly nature.
In a final, desperate attempt, Ricardio tried to implant himself into Danny's chest, planning to control the young hero's body. However, Danny used his ghost powers to phase through Ricardio's attack and pushed him back into the Ghost Portal.
