The '''Poltergust 3000''' is a vacuum invented by [[Professor E. Gadd]] to catch [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]]. It first appears in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', as [[Luigi]]'s main weapon. It is the first model in the [[Poltergust]] line of devices, named after the terms "poltergeist," a ghost who makes itself known through things such as noises, and "gust," referring to wind. The "3000" part of the Poltergust 3000's name is likely a nod to the "thousand" numbers after mad scientists' inventions in typical science fiction movies. It is also a parody of the Proton Pack from the ''{{wp|Ghostbusters (franchise)|Ghostbusters}}'' franchise.
 
==History==
===''Luigi's Mansion''===
[[File:LM Vaccuuming Blue Twirler Artwork.jpg|thumb|left|The Poltergust 3000 in action]]
The Poltergust 3000 is a vacuum used by [[Luigi]] to hunt down ghosts in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remake]]. To suck up ghosts, Luigi first has to find their weakness (which usually involves his [[flashlight]] in some way) and exploit it. Once the ghost is open, Luigi needs to bring its health down to 0 before it can be sucked into the Poltergust and defeated. By sucking up [[Elemental Ghost]]s (which only appear after collecting their corresponding [[element medal]]s), the Poltergust gains the ability to harness the elements of fire, ice, and water to fight certain ghosts and solve puzzles. By linking up with E. Gadd's [[Ghost Portrificationizer]], it can upload captured ghosts and turn them into portraits. This is demonstrated by the various [[portrait ghost]]s found throughout [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|the mansion]]. In British English releases, the Poltergust 3000 has wheels, allowing Luigi to ride on it, but he can only ever do so in the [[Boolossus]] battle.
 
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
The Poltergust 3000 makes only two minor appearances in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the Poltergust 3000 appears on the Vacuum [[Luigi]] [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]]'s back, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Poltergust 3000 was given a trophy of its own.
 
In the American English localization of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', there is a trophy incorrectly titled "Luigi (with Poltergust 3000)," because it instead shows Luigi with the [[Poltergust 5000]]. This error was fixed in the British English localization, which renames the trophy "Luigi (with Poltergust 5000)".


==Features==
===''Super Mario-kun''===
The Poltergust is equipped with a vacuum and [[flashlight]] to hunt down ghosts, such as [[Boo]]s. The user would stun a ghost with the flashlight, and suck it up. It has the ability, with help from special [[Elemental Medal]]s, to harness the elements of fire, ice, and water to fight certain ghosts.
[[File:Luigi SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|270px|Luigi using the Poltergust 5000 in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
In volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Luigi uses the Poltergust 3000 when facing against [[Huff N. Puff]] in a ''Paper Mario'' arc and King Boo in a ''Luigi's Mansion'' arc.


It can link up with E. Gadd's [[Portrificationizer]] to upload captured ghosts and turn them into portraits.
===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]], a newer model known as the [[Super Poltergust 3001]] appears. Luigi is shown to still own the original Poltergust, which he used in various cutscenes in [[Starbeans Cafe]], using it on E. Gadd himself twice, the first time after Gadd taste-tests the [[Hoohoo Blend]] in order to prevent him from being forced to use the restroom inside the café (due to his neglecting to add restrooms in the place); the second time due to fear as a result of E. Gadd becoming a "ghost" via a specialized [[gown]] after test-tasting the [[Chuckoccino]].


==Other Appearances==
===''Mario Tennis'' series===
[[File:PoltergustWeegeePMTTYD.png|frame]]
The Poltergust appears in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and ''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]'' as a Defensive Power Shot known as the [[Poltergust Return]]. Like other Defensive Power Shots, its purpose is to hit the ball when it is out if range. Its offensive counterpart is the [[Squeaky Mallet]].
*The Poltergust appears in ''[[Mario Power Tennis (Nintendo GameCube)|Mario Power Tennis]]'' as [[Poltergust Return|a Defensive Shot]].
*It makes a cameo in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' on the Vacuum [[Luigi]] trophy's back. Had [[Masahiro Sakurai]] known more about ''Luigi's Mansion''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> development, the Poltergust may have had a more involved role, perhaps as a part of Luigi's moveset.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/1127/index.html ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' Japanese website] (Accessed on 7-5-09)</ref>
*It appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', where it seems that it was succeeded by a more advanced model, the [[Super Poltergust 3001]]. Luigi was also shown to still own the original Poltergust, which he used in various cutscenes in the [[Starbeans Café]].
*The [[Porta-Gust]], a [[Gaddget]] from ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' and another of Gadd's inventions, appears to be a portable version of the Poltergust 3000 with [[Game Boy Advance]]-style controls.
*Luigi's special kart in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' is the [[Poltergust 4000]], an upgraded version of the Poltergust 3000. Like the Super Poltergust 3001, it is meant to be ridden on. It was originally designed for [[Professor Elvin Gadd]] but he was later removed from the game for unknown reasons.
*[[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]]'s [[Coin Vacuum]] of ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', which is also known to be built by Elvin Gadd, could very well be related to the Poltergust 3000.
*The Poltergust 3000 has a trophy of its own in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
*The Poltergust 3000 appears in the [[Audience]] on Luigi sometimes in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.
*The Poltergust 3000 appears in Luigi's Special Attacks in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''.
*An advanced model of the Poltergust 3000 with the Game Boy Horror's advice light included, the [[Poltergust 5000]], will appear in the upcoming [[Nintendo 3DS]] game and the sequel to ''Luigi's Mansion'', ''[[Luigi's Mansion 2]]''.


==''Super Smash Bros.'' series Trophies==
===''Mario Sports Mix''===
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''===
The Poltergust 3000 appears in Luigi's Special Attacks in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. As there are four different sports in said game, its use varies slightly between each sport. However, each sport has him doing the same thing: Luigi sucks in the ball or puck, then he expels air from the Poltergust at his opponents to cause them to trip. After that, he shoots the ball or puck either toward the goal (in basketball and hockey), toward the open ground (in volleyball), or at the opponents (in dodgeball).

There are two games where the Poltergust 3000 is only referenced or mentioned. In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a [[Pianta]] at the [[Sirena Beach]] [[Hotel Delfino|hotel]] asked Mario to "get rid of these ghosts with a vacuum or something" when the hotel was infested with [[Boo]]s, likely referencing the Poltergust 3000. Furthermore, [[F.L.U.D.D.]], a type of equipment debuting in the game, was also designed by Professor E. Gadd, and is likewise worn by Mario for most of his journey in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. In ''[[Fortune Street]]'', the Poltergust 3000 is mentioned on the [[Ghost Ship]] by Luigi, who says that he should have brought it with him.

==Trivia==
*The Poltergust 3000 is named after the terms "poltergeist", meaning "a ghost who makes itself known through things such as noises", and "gust", meaning "wind". The "3000" part of the name is probably present because of the "thousand" numbers after mad scientists' inventions in typical science fiction movies.
*In Japan, the Poltergust 3000 is called the "Obakyuumu"; this name can be taken as a portmanteau of "obake" (a type of Japanese monster) and "vacuum" or, if pronounced as "o-vacuum", a use of the Japanese title "O", meaning "important".
*In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a Pianta at the [[Sirena Beach]] [[Hotel Delfino|hotel]] asked Mario to "get rid of these ghosts with a vacuum or something" when the hotel was infested with [[Boo]]s. This is a reference to the Poltergust.
*The Poltergust shares some similarities to Mario's [[F.L.U.D.D.]], as Mario and Luigi use their respective weapons for the entire game and wear them on their backs. It was also made by the same person, [[Professor Elvin Gadd]].
*Many shows depict vacuums a way of catching ghosts, to the point of being cliché.

The Poltergust 3000 is a vacuum invented by Professor E. Gadd to catch ghosts. It first appears in Luigi's Mansion, as Luigi's main weapon. It is the first model in the Poltergust line of devices, named after the terms "poltergeist," a ghost who makes itself known through things such as noises, and "gust," referring to wind. The "3000" part of the Poltergust 3000's name is likely a nod to the "thousand" numbers after mad scientists' inventions in typical science fiction movies. It is also a parody of the Proton Pack from the Ghostbusters franchise.

History[edit]

Luigi's Mansion[edit]

Luigi sucking up a Blue Twirler
The Poltergust 3000 in action

The Poltergust 3000 is a vacuum used by Luigi to hunt down ghosts in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. To suck up ghosts, Luigi first has to find their weakness (which usually involves his flashlight in some way) and exploit it. Once the ghost is open, Luigi needs to bring its health down to 0 before it can be sucked into the Poltergust and defeated. By sucking up Elemental Ghosts (which only appear after collecting their corresponding element medals), the Poltergust gains the ability to harness the elements of fire, ice, and water to fight certain ghosts and solve puzzles. By linking up with E. Gadd's Ghost Portrificationizer, it can upload captured ghosts and turn them into portraits. This is demonstrated by the various portrait ghosts found throughout the mansion. In British English releases, the Poltergust 3000 has wheels, allowing Luigi to ride on it, but he can only ever do so in the Boolossus battle.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

The Poltergust 3000 makes only two minor appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Poltergust 3000 appears on the Vacuum Luigi trophy's back, and in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Poltergust 3000 was given a trophy of its own.

In the American English localization of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, there is a trophy incorrectly titled "Luigi (with Poltergust 3000)," because it instead shows Luigi with the Poltergust 5000. This error was fixed in the British English localization, which renames the trophy "Luigi (with Poltergust 5000)".

Super Mario-kun[edit]

In volume 26 of Super Mario-kun, Luigi uses the Poltergust 3000 when facing against Huff N. Puff in a Paper Mario arc and King Boo in a Luigi's Mansion arc.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake, a newer model known as the Super Poltergust 3001 appears. Luigi is shown to still own the original Poltergust, which he used in various cutscenes in Starbeans Cafe, using it on E. Gadd himself twice, the first time after Gadd taste-tests the Hoohoo Blend in order to prevent him from being forced to use the restroom inside the café (due to his neglecting to add restrooms in the place); the second time due to fear as a result of E. Gadd becoming a "ghost" via a specialized gown after test-tasting the Chuckoccino.

Mario Tennis series[edit]

The Poltergust appears in Mario Power Tennis and Mario Tennis: Power Tour as a Defensive Power Shot known as the Poltergust Return. Like other Defensive Power Shots, its purpose is to hit the ball when it is out if range. Its offensive counterpart is the Squeaky Mallet.

Mario Sports Mix[edit]

The Poltergust 3000 appears in Luigi's Special Attacks in Mario Sports Mix. As there are four different sports in said game, its use varies slightly between each sport. However, each sport has him doing the same thing: Luigi sucks in the ball or puck, then he expels air from the Poltergust at his opponents to cause them to trip. After that, he shoots the ball or puck either toward the goal (in basketball and hockey), toward the open ground (in volleyball), or at the opponents (in dodgeball).

Other appearances[edit]

There are two games where the Poltergust 3000 is only referenced or mentioned. In Super Mario Sunshine, a Pianta at the Sirena Beach hotel asked Mario to "get rid of these ghosts with a vacuum or something" when the hotel was infested with Boos, likely referencing the Poltergust 3000. Furthermore, F.L.U.D.D., a type of equipment debuting in the game, was also designed by Professor E. Gadd, and is likewise worn by Mario for most of his journey in Super Mario Sunshine. In Fortune Street, the Poltergust 3000 is mentioned on the Ghost Ship by Luigi, who says that he should have brought it with him.
