==''Luigi's Mansion''==
Vincent Van Gore resides in [[The Artist's Studio]], on the third floor of the mansion. When Luigi enters the room, the ghost expresses his anger at seeing his creations being vacuumed. However, instead of fighting Luigi directly, Van Gore brings his latest works of art to life to attack him. As such, Luigi has to vacuum seven sets of minor ghosts (with three ghosts per set) before he can capture Vincent Van Gore himself.


'''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 Luigi eliminates all of his ghost creations, Vincent Van Gore becomes very angry by the loss of his artwork. In this state, his heart is exposed and Luigi can easily suck up the spirit with his [[Poltergust 3000]]. He is eventually sucked inside the Poltergust and drops the [[Secret Altar]] [[Key]]. He is the only non-Boss ghost to give away a special key. After being sucked up, standard enemy ghosts such as [[Purple Bomber]]s no longer spawn in any remaining dark hallways, though smaller ghosts like bats do continue spawning.

==Van Gore's 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.
In battle, Van Gore uses sets of ghosts to attack Luigi; each group consists of three (five in the [[Luigi's Mansion#PAL Differences|PAL Hidden Mansion]] and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remake]]) ghosts. In order, the seven following types of ghosts are:
*[[Gold Ghost]]s
*[[Purple Puncher]]s
*[[Blue Twirler]]s
*Red [[Grabbing Ghost]]s
*Red [[Ghost Guy]]s
*[[Garbage Can Ghost]]s
*[[Purple Bomber]]s


After Luigi eliminated all of his 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).
==Physical appearance==
Vincent Van Gore has teal skin, white hair, a white mustache and pointed beard, and glowing green eyes. He wears a red beret, a deep green overcoat over a red and yellow striped shirt, and often carries his palette and paintbrush.
