The '''Poltergust 5000''' is the name of the vacuum that [[Luigi]] uses in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. It is an upgraded version of the [[Poltergust 3000]] from the [[Luigi's Mansion|first game]], both of which were created by [[Professor E. Gadd]]. Its number of "5000" instead of "4000" was possibly done to acknowledge the [[Poltergust 4000]], a [[kart]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. | The '''Poltergust 5000''' is the name of the vacuum that [[Luigi]] uses in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''.

The Poltergust 5000 is an object in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. It is the vacuum that Luigi uses throughout the game. When the [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] of [[Evershade Valley]] become hostile due to the shattering of the [[Dark Moon]], E. Gadd escapes, leaving the Poltergust 5000 behind. As part of the [[Poltergust 5000 (mission)|first mission]] of the game, recovering the vacuum from the vehicle in the [[Garage (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)|Garage]] is Luigi's first objective. While the Poltergust 5000 is marked as an improved version of the Poltergust 3000, they share the same basic properties. Players can use the Poltergust 5000's vacuum by pressing {{button|3ds|R}} and blow things away by pressing {{button|3ds|L}}. While the Poltergust 5000 does retain the [[Flashlight]] attachment, it works differently than the original version's. The basic light can no longer stun ghosts, so the player has to first find the [[Strobulb]] in order to do so. The Strobulb can be used by pressing {{button|3ds|A}}. If the player long presses {{button|3ds|A}}, the Strobulb's range will increase, however, the Strobulb can stun a maximum five ghosts, three of which can be captured, but the other two will not be captured. While the Poltergust 5000 cannot expel elements like the Poltergust 3000 could, an additional [[Dark-Light Device]] can be added to the Poltergust 5000, which is used to uncover invisible secrets. | The Poltergust 5000 is an object in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]] / [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', Luigi uses the Poltergust 5000 for his [[Final Smash]], replacing his previous Final Smash, the [[Negative Zone]], from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Upon activating the Final Smash, Luigi will don the Poltergust 5000 and begin vacuuming in his opponents and nearby [[List of items|items]], with the caught opponents receiving repeated damage. After a short period of time, he will then launch out anyone he caught in the direction he is facing, along with any items that were caught in the process. If no opponents are caught in the vacuum's suction, the Final Smash will fail. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]] / [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', Luigi uses the Poltergust 5000 for his [[Final Smash]], replacing his previous Final Smash, the [[Negative Zone]], from ''[[Super Smash Bros.
