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]]''.

{{about|the item in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon|the [[Gloomy Manor]] mission|[[Poltergust 5000 (mission)]]|other uses of "Poltergust"|[[Poltergust]]}}
===''Luigi's Mansion'' series===
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 Elvin Gadd]]. When the [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] of [[Evershade Valley]] became hostile due to the shattering of the [[Dark Moon]], E. Gadd escaped, 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.

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. 


Unlike the Poltergust 3000, the Poltergust 5000 can perform a "Power Surge"<ref>{{cite|title=''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' instruction booklet|quote=(When POWER GAUGE appears) Press {{button|3ds|A}} for power surge}}{{page needed}}</ref> attack while sucking in ghosts. After charging a meter for a short time, players can press {{button|3ds|A}} to deal extra damage. A blue, green, or red surge drains 10, 20 or 50 health respectively. Furthermore, sucking multiple ghosts fills the meter faster and surges will damage all of them. Ghosts defeated with a blue, green, or red surge drop 3 coins, 1 gold bar, or 3 gold bars respectively. Catching multiple ghosts at once also causes each to drop an additional gold bar. The Power Surge is required to defeat [[Creeper]]s, enemies with [[paranormal shield]]s, and [[Possessor]] bosses.

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}}.

Additionally, the Poltergust 5000 can be seen in an additional four colors during the [[ScareScraper]]: Green, Blue, Orange, and Pink, which is respective to the player wearing it.
While players could use {{button|gcn|C}} to help suck up ghosts in the original game, the Poltergust 5000 instead uses a "Power Surge"{{ref needed}} technique when sucking in ghosts. After charging a meter for a short time, players can press {{button|3ds|A}} to suck up a large amount of the ghost's health in one go. A Blue Surge removes 10 HP from the ghost, a Green Surge removes 20, and a Red Surge removes 60. Vacuuming in a ghost with a Power Surge will result in them dropping a certain amount of gold bars, which is dependent on what charge was used to vacuum them in: a Blue Surge gives 3 coins, a Green Surge gives one gold bar, and a Red Surge gives 3 gold bars. If there are multiple ghosts within the suction, the ghosts will always drop an additional gold bar when captured, from a single gold bar with no surge, to a maximum of 4 gold bars from a Red Surge. During some battles, such as with the fights against the [[Possessor]]s, this technique is required.

In 2013, a challenge was given to {{iw|wikipedia|iam8bit}} to make a working Poltergust 5000 replica, complete with a lit Strobulb and overall backpack design just as in the game.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0vXud2TKVU|title=Nintendo 3DS - ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' Poltergust 5000 Making of Video|author=Nintendo of America|date=March 27, 2013|publisher=YouTube|language=en-us|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref>


====''Luigi's Mansion Arcade''====
==Appearance in ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
A controller based on the Poltergust 5000 is used for ''[[Luigi's Mansion Arcade]]''.
[[File:SSB4 WiiU LuigiPoltergust.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Luigi with the Poltergust 5000 in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'']]
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 Luigi 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.


===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Additionally, the Poltergust 5000 appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Spirit]]. Luigi does not use the Poltergust 5000 in this game for his Final Smash, instead using the [[Poltergust G-00]] from ''[[Luigi’s Mansion 3]]'' for his Final Smash (also for his grab and throws).
[[File:SSB4 WiiU LuigiPoltergust.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Poltergust 5000}}
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.

Luigi's first Precision weapon in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', the [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Suction Destruction|Suction Destruction]], is styled after the Poltergust 5000.
 
===Super Nintendo World===
In [[Super Nintendo World]], the Poltergust 5000 can be seen in the Luigi [[Mii|Mii Racing Suit]] display at the queue of Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge.

==Trivia==
*On March 27, 2013, Nintendo revealed that they had posted a challenge to [[wikipedia:iam8bit|iam8bit]] to make a working Poltergust 5000 replica, complete with a lit Strobulb and overall backpack design just as in the game.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0vXud2TKVU YouTube - Nintendo 3DS - Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Poltergust 5000 Making of Video]</ref>
*After Luigi upgrades to Super Poltergust, the Poltergust 5000 has a design on the wheels, but when the player is at the Bunker, the wheels have no design.
*This version of the Poltergust is numbered "5000" after the previous was numbered "3000" likely to acknowledge the [[Poltergust 4000]] kart from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.
*In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Luigi wearing the Poltergust 5000 on his back is a playable skin.
*A controller based on the Poltergust 5000 is used for ''[[Luigi's Mansion Arcade]]''.
*If the player returns to an earlier mission after upgrading to the Super Poltergust in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', the Super Poltergust will stay equipped.
*Luigi's first Precision weapon in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', the [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Suction Destruction|Suction Destruction]], is styled after the Poltergust 5000.
