'''Slim Bankshot, the Lonely Poolshark''', is a portrait ghost that loves to shoot billiards. He was a legend in the competitive pool circuit, despite the fact that he never played a living soul. Slim spent his afterlife practicing alone in the [[Billiards Room]] of [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]]. Although Slim Bankshot was a portrait ghost, [[Luigi]] did not need to capture the lonely poolshark to help save his brother [[Mario]] from [[King Boo]]. However, if the green-clad ghost hunter decided to catch the spirit, Luigi would be rewarded with the ghost's great treasure.

When Luigi first encountered Slim Bankshot, the portrait ghost was playing 3-Ball, shooting billiard balls with his cue stick. In fact, Slim hit the balls so hard they would go flying off the table and bounce around the room (causing five HP of damage if they hit Luigi). Each time they were hit, he went around the pool table once before hitting the balls again. To make Bankshot vulnerable, Luigi had to suck up one of the flying billiard balls with the [[Poltergust 3000]]. The ball would then get stuck at the end of the vacuum, allowing Luigi to shoot the ball like a projectile at Slim Bankshot. The billiard balls that Slim shoots fly around the room leaving red streaks behind them. The ball that Luigi shoots will leave a blue streak. After being hit three times, Slim would become limp and vulnerable and Luigi could capture the ghost with his Poltergust. If Bankshot managed to break free from Luigi's hold, the spirit would return to shooting pool. As such, Luigi had to hit Slim with another billiard ball to make the portrait ghost vulnerable again.

After combating Slim's medium pull, Luigi captured the ghost and lit up the Billiards Room. After Bankshot's treasure chest appeared, Luigi opened the box and received a [[Blue Diamond]] and two [[Gold Bars]]. With another portrait ghost eliminated, Luigi continued the search for his brother.

A black-and-white picture of a person similar in appearance to Slim Bankshot can be found on the north wall of the Billiards Room, possibly depicting him when he was alive. 

==Trivia==
*Occasionally, a billiard ball that Slim fires will bounce off of a wall and hit Slim while he was traveling around the table, meaning that he hit himself. Though it is still advised to shoot the balls at him and that only happens rarely.

*Slim is the only non-required ghost that has no attack since he doesn't aim his billard balls at Luigi. 

*In the Courtyard, there is a statue of Slim lying down in a proposal like fasion.

-'''Slim Bankshot, the Lonely Poolshark''', is a [[portrait ghost]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. He has teal skin, glowing yellow eyes, and dark violet hair with a cowlick. His head is spherical, and he has a slender build. He wears a grey diamond-patterned vest over a white shirt with both sleeves rolled up. On his right hand, he has a gold ring with a red jewel. According to his biography, he was a legend in the competitive pool circuit, despite the fact that he never played a living soul. His name is based on the billiards term "bankshot" (or "{{wp|Glossary of cue sports terms#B|bank shot}}"), in which the player hits the cue ball against a railing before striking another ball into a pocket. His portrait number in the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]] is 17.

-Slim Bankshot is found playing 3-Ball in the [[Billiards Room]], shooting billiard balls with his cue stick. Slim hits the balls so hard that they fly off the table and bounce around the room, taking away 5 [[Heart Point|HP]] each time they hit Luigi. Every time they are hit, Slim travels around the pool table once before hitting the balls again. To make Bankshot vulnerable, Luigi has to suck up one of the flying billiard balls with the [[Poltergust 3000]]. The ball will then get stuck at the end of the vacuum, allowing Luigi to shoot the ball like a projectile at Slim Bankshot. As the balls hit Slim, he appears more and more fatigued when attempting to make a shot. After being hit three times, Slim will become limp and vulnerable and Luigi can capture the ghost with the Poltergust. Slim Bankshot has a strong pull. If Bankshot manages to break free from Luigi's hold, he will return to shooting pool and Luigi must repeat the process. Once Slim Bankshot is caught, a [[treasure chest]] appears which contains a [[Blue Diamond]] and two [[Gold Bar]]s, along with other minor treasures. In the Hidden Mansion of the Nintendo 3DS version, capturing Slim Bankshot is required because this spawns a treasure chest with [[Mario's Shoe]].
