| '''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''', is one of the many ghosts featured in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. |

| ==''Luigi's Mansion''==
| | Biff is actually a pretty nice guy when not provoked and will simply ignore Luigi if he enters the [[Rec Room]], where Biff resides lifting a barbell, and Luigi can do likewise. Biff also likes lilies because "they symbolize purity". |

| 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 into attacking him, Luigi must smack one of the three nearby punching bags, avoiding its backswing, which can injure him. If aimed correctly, it will hit Biff and cause him to come at Luigi swinging his fists in a furious rage. One punch from the bodybuilder and the petrified plumber loses a whopping twenty [[HP]]. One hit with a punching bag still doesn't expose Biff's heart, so Luigi will have to pound Biff two more times with any punching bag. Before the third hit, he gets even angrier and starts whirling his arms like a runaway windmill. If Luigi smacked a bag but misses, he'd have to avoid both it and Atlas. After taking the hits, Biff will be knocked out and vulnerable to Luigi's attack. Unfortunately this attack wakes Biff up and causes him to pull against the Poltergust 3000. If Luigi fails to catch him on the first go Biff will return to weightlifting and Luigi must hit him with one more 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. | |
