| '''Purple Punchers''', also known as '''Pink Mapu'''<ref name=Versus>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|publisher=Versus Books|language=en-us|date=November 19, 2001|title=''Luigi's Mansion'' Perfect Guide|page=16|isbn=1-931886-00-8}}</ref> or '''bashers''',<ref name=Versus/> are the second species of normal [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] [[Luigi]] encounters in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]], where they are encountered in the [[Storage Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Storage Room]], [[Armory (Luigi's Mansion)|Armory]], [[Anteroom]], the [[Laundry Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Laundry Room]], [[Cellar (Luigi's Mansion)|Cellar]], the [[Sealed Room]], and [[The Artist's Studio]], and in the [[Kitchen (Luigi's Mansion)|Kitchen]], [[Nursery]], [[Conservatory (Luigi's Mansion)|Conservatory]], [[Balcony (3F)]], the [[Fortune-teller's Room]], [[Nana's Room]], and the [[Telephone Room]] during the [[blackout]]. They are also encountered in the [[Parlor (Luigi's Mansion)|Parlor]], the Kitchen, the [[Safari Room]], the [[Pipe Room]], the [[Roof (Luigi's Mansion)|Roof]], the Anteroom, the Laundry Room, Cellar, the Sealed Room, and The Artist's Studio in the PAL and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] [[Luigi's Mansion#Hidden Mansion|Hidden Mansion]], and in the Nursery, Conservatory, Balcony (3F), the Fortune-teller's Room, Nana's Room, and the Telephone Room during the blackout in the PAL and 3DS Hidden Mansion. As the name implies, these ghosts try to damage Luigi by giving a left or right hook to him; 10 [[Heart Point|HP]] is lost for each successful uppercut punch. Luigi can stun Purple Punchers with his [[flashlight]], and then suck them in with his [[Poltergust 3000]]. They can also be hurt by any of the three [[Element medal|elements]]. Though Purple Punchers do not appear in any later installments of the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]], [[Hider]]s from ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', and [[Oozer (Luigi's Mansion 3)|Oozers]] from ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' behave similarly to them.

| In an [[list of Luigi's Mansion pre-release and unused content|earlier version]] of ''Luigi's Mansion'', Purple Punchers had 30 HP each. However, this was changed to 20 HP in the final version for unknown reasons, but was kept at 30 HP in the PAL and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] [[Luigi's Mansion#Hidden Mansion|Hidden Mansion]]. This pre-release screenshot can be seen on page 19 of the ''Luigi's Mansion'' instruction booklet.<ref>{{cite|title=''Luigi's Mansion'' instruction booklet|page=19|date=2001|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>
| | The '''Purple Punchers''' (a.k.a. Pink Punchers, Purple Ghosts, or Pink Ghosts) are the second species of normal ghosts [[Luigi]] encounters in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. They first appear in the [[Anteroom]], then in other locations throughout the adventure. As the name implies, these ghosts try to damage Luigi by giving a left or right hook to the green plumber; ten Life is lost for each successful uppercut punch. Luigi can stun Purple Punchers with his flashlight, and then suck them in with his [[Poltergust 3000]]. After, he can spray them with an element to be rid of them. Purple Punchers have twenty Life. |
