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]].  
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]]''.
 
This version of the Poltergust is numbered "5000," but the previous version was numbered "3000." This is likely done to acknowledge the [[Poltergust 4000]] kart, which debuted in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.

The Poltergust 5000 debuts in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' as the vacuum 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.

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>''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' instruction booklet, "''(When POWER GAUGE appears) Press {{button|3ds|A}} for power surge''"</ref> attack while sucking in ghosts.

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 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.

History[edit]

Luigi's Mansion series[edit]

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon[edit]

Luigi first obtaining the Poltergust 5000 in Gloomy Manor.
Screenshot from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

The Poltergust 5000 is an object in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It is the vacuum that Luigi uses throughout the game. When the 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 first mission of the game, recovering the vacuum from the vehicle in the 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 R Button and blow things away by pressing L Button. 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 A Button. If the player long presses A Button, 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"[1] attack while sucking in ghosts. After charging a meter for a short time, players can press A Button 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 Creepers, enemies with paranormal shields, and Possessor bosses.

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.

The Poltergust 5000 can also be upgraded over the course of the game, based on how much treasure Luigi collected in total:

  • 2,000 G: The Green Surge is unlocked, allowing Luigi to do more damage and receive more gold.
  • 4,000 G: The Dark-Light Level 2 is unlocked, increasing the length of the Dark-Light Device's meter.
  • 7,000 G: The Red Surge is unlocked, allowing even more damage and even more gold with Power Surges.
  • 10,000 G: The Dark-Light Level 3 is unlocked, maxing out the Dark-Light meter.
  • 20,000 G: The Super Poltergust is unlocked, which fills the power bar and drains the ghost's HP faster. It also features a design on the wheels, though it disappears when the player is in the Bunker.

In 2013, a challenge was given to iam8bit to make a working Poltergust 5000 replica, complete with a lit Strobulb and overall backpack design just as in the game.[2]

Luigi's Mansion Arcade[edit]

A controller based on the Poltergust 5000 is used for Luigi's Mansion Arcade.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

SmashWiki article: Poltergust 5000

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / 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 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 he 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.

Though the Poltergust 5000 returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a spirit, Luigi instead uses the Poltergust G-00 as his Final Smash.
