| | '''Purple Punchers''' 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 HP is lost for each successful uppercut punch. Luigi can stun Purple Punchers with his flashlight and suck them in with his [[Poltergust 3000]], spray them with an element to be rid of them. Purple Punchers have twenty HP. Though they are called ''"Purple"'' Punchers, they are actually pink in color. |

| 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]].
