The '''Pixelator''' (known as the '''Pixelshifter''' in British English versions) is one of [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s many inventions. It is of great importance during [[Luigi]]'s quest to piece together the [[Dark Moon]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. The Pixelator is used to teleport people from one place to another. Whoever it is used on is temporarily transformed into multiple pixels and pulled through a Pixelator Screen; the pixels are then sent out of a Pixelator camera in another location, where the person who traveled through it is reassembled. At the start of the game, E. Gadd uses the Pixelator to transport Luigi through his TV to the [[Bunker]]. Throughout the remainder of the game, E. Gadd uses it to teleport Luigi to and from the five different mansions in [[Evershade Valley]]: the [[Gloomy Manor]], [[Haunted Towers]], [[Old Clockworks]], [[Secret Mine]], and [[Treacherous Mansion]]. | The '''Pixelator''' (known as the '''Pixelshifter''' in British English versions) is one of [[Professor E.

There are several Pixelator cameras found in front of and within each of these mansions, and Luigi is usually sent out of a different one in each mission. At the end of each mission, a large Pixelator Screen appears and displays the records for the mission, after which Luigi is pulled through it and back to the Bunker. Prototype Pixelator Screens are also found in every mansion after the Gloomy Manor. As these screens cannot be controlled from the Bunker, Luigi must activate them manually. E. Gadd asks Luigi to find these prototype Pixelator Screens and use them to send each of his five [[Toad (species)|Toad assistants]] back to the Bunker. In addition to the above use of Luigi's TV as a Pixelation entry point, E. Gadd is shown to be able to connect other cameras to the network as exit points, such as when he sends Luigi through the miniature camera within the display at the Treacherous Mansion's [[Train Exhibit]]. As indicated by Luigi coming out as miniature as the display, the Pixelator network can alter the size of whatever goes through it based on the size of the camera used. | There are several Pixelator cameras found in front of and within each of these mansions, and Luigi is usually sent out of a different one in each mission.

[[King Boo]] is also shown to have power over the Pixelator. After Luigi defeats the [[Tough Possessor]] in [[Stop the Knightmare]], Luigi and the Dark Moon piece are transported back to the Bunker, but partway through, King Boo pulls Luigi back and into [[A Nightmare to Remember|his arena]], leaving the Dark Moon piece to be transported to E. Gadd alone. At the end of the game, E.

The Pixalator makes a less prominent appearance in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''. In the pause screen, there is an option to go to E. Gadd's Bunker. A skippable cutscene plays, in which the Pixelator teleports Luigi to the Bunker. The Pixelator then stands stationary at the door until the player uses it again to return to the spot from which they came. | The Pixalator makes a less prominent appearance in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''.
