'''Biff Atlas, the Bodybuilder''', is an optional [[portrait ghost]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. He haunts the [[Rec Room]] in [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Luigi's Mansion]], where he is found lifting weights. His first name is based on "biff," a slang term meaning "to hit," while his last name is based on {{wp|Atlas (mythology)|Atlas}}, a titan from Greek Mythology who was forced to hold up the sky. His portrait number in [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]]'s gallery is 16.
'''Biff Atlas, the Bodybuilder''' (Japanese: マッディー ''Maddī''), is one of the many ghosts featured in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. His first name is a pun on "biff", which is slang meaning "to hit". His last name is based on [[wikipedia:Atlas (mythology)|Atlas]], a titan from Greek Mythology who was forced to hold up the Sky.


==''Luigi's Mansion''==
When [[Luigi]] enters the [[Rec Room]], Biff is focused on lifting a barbell, and does not attack Luigi. Luigi can either choose to provoke Biff to attack him, or just ignore Biff entirely, as Biff is one of the five optional gallery ghosts in ''Luigi's Mansion''.

When [[Luigi]] enters the [[Rec Room]], Biff is focused on lifting a barbell, choosing not to attack him. If Luigi wishes to capture Biff, he must first hit one of the three nearby punching bags toward Biff, while avoiding its backswing, which can hurt him. Doing this provokes Biff, who starts attacking Luigi by swinging his hands in rage. One of Biff's punches causes Luigi to lose twenty [[Heart Point|HP]]. Each time Luigi hits Biff with a punching bag, he becomes angrier and attacks quicker. After Biff is hit with punching bags three times, he collapses onto the floor, exposing his heart. This makes him vulnerable to the [[Poltergust 3000]], allowing Luigi to suck him up. If Luigi fails to capture him, Biff returns to weightlifting and Luigi must hit him with another punching bag to resume capturing him. After Biff is captured, the Rec Room lights up, and a green [[treasure chest]] appears which contains money.


==Physical appearance==
In order to provoke Biff, Luigi must smack one of the three nearby punching bags while avoiding its backswing, which can injure him with five [[Heart Point|HP]] of damage. If aimed correctly, it hits Biff and causes him to attack Luigi by swinging his fists in a rage. One of Biff's punches causes Luigi to lose twenty HP. Luigi has to pound Biff two more times with a punching bag in order to expose Biff's heart. Before the third hit, Biff gets even angrier and starts whirling his arms. After his heart is exposed, Biff becomes vulnerable to the [[Poltergust 3000]]. If Luigi fails to catch him, Biff returns to weightlifting and Luigi must hit him with another punching bag to resume capturing him.
Biff has turquoise skin with a blond flattop and green eyes. His head is rectangular, his chin has a small cleft, and his body is very muscular. He wears a red tank top, reddish brown wristbands with yellow stripes, a brown belt with a gold buckle, and purple pants that fit around his tail.
