'''Vincent Van Gore, the Starving Artist''' (Japanese: セニョールプジイ ''Señor Pujī''), is a ghost painter who has the ability to make his paintings reality. He was responsible for creating the minor ghosts that flooded the rooms and halls of [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]]. After being released by [[King Boo]], Vincent Van Gore locked himself in [[The Artist's Studio|the mansion's studio]], giving the key to his room to [[Sir Weston]] in the [[Cold Storage]], and bringing his ghastly works of art to life. These ghosts filled the mansion, providing the backbone of King Boo's forces. As such, Van Gore was a fundamental player in King Boo's quest to capture both [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. Without the constant supply of ghosts, Luigi would have had a much easier time defeating King Boo and the portrait ghosts.

After battling past almost all of the mansion's ghosts, Luigi ultimately discovered Vincent Van Gore, the source of the troublesome ghouls, in The Artist's Studio on the third floor of the mansion. However, instead of fighting Luigi directly, Van Gore brought his latest works of art to life to attack the green-clad plumber. As such, Luigi had to exterminate seven sets of minor ghosts (with three ghosts per set) before he could face off against the artist himself. 

After Luigi eliminated all 21 ghost creations, Vincent Van Gore became deeply saddened by the loss of his artwork. In this state of depression, Van Gore's heart was exposed and Luigi easily sucked up the spirit with his [[Poltergust 3000]]. The ghost artist barely put up a fight, weakly pulling as he was being sucked in. After Van Gore was defeated, Luigi acquired the [[Secret Altar]] [[Key]] needed to open the door to the lair of [[King Boo]] (and [[Mario]]'s cell).

==Van Gore's ghosts==
In battle, Van Gore used sets of ghosts to attack Luigi; each group consisted of three of the same kind of spectre (five in the [[Luigi's Mansion#PAL Differences|PAL Hidden Mansion]]). In order, the seven following types of ghosts were:
*[[Gold Ghost]]
*[[Purple Puncher]]
*[[Blue Twirler]]
*Red [[Grabbing Ghost]]
*Red [[Shy Guy Ghost]]
*[[Garbage Can Ghost]]
*[[Purple Bomber]]

==Trivia==
*Vincent Van Gore is a parody of the artist [[wikipedia:Vincent van Gogh|Vincent van Gogh]]. However, Van Gore speaks with a stereotypical French accent, even though van Gogh was Dutch. This may be because, when [[wikipedia:Vincent van Gogh|Van Gogh]] died, he was living in France.
*Sculptures of [[Biff Atlas]] and [[Lydia]] can be found in Van Gore's studio.
*Right before being vaccumed, Vincent Van Gore says that Luigi told him that only one of his "creations" is left (making him very mad and exposing his heart). He may be refering to the [[Bowling Ghost]]s in the 3F Hallways, since they are the only ghosts missing (but [[Blue Mouse|Mice]] and [[Bat (ghost)|Bats]]) after he is vaccumed.
*Vincent Van Gore is the only non-Boss ghost to house a "''special key''".
**A normal key makes a triumphant sound when picked up and is a goldish bronze, while special keys each have a card suit on them and make a deep, organ-played musical fanfare of the games main theme (in a major key) when received.
*Vincent Van Gore's profile says that he is 59 years old and failed to sell a single painting in 30 years. Vincent Van Gogh died when he was 37. This may mean that, since when he was nearly 8 years away from his death, he was unable to sell his paintings and this continuead in his 22 afterlife years.
