'''Chauncey, the Spoiled Baby''', is one of the [[portrait ghost]]s in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|Nintendo 3DS version]]. He wears a yellow baby gown that fits around his tail. Chauncey also has a white bib with a pink trim and sucks on a blue-and-yellow pacifier. His head is oval-shaped and he has a slightly square chin. Chauncey has light blue skin, glowing yellow eyes, and a small tuft of dark blue hair on his head. Chauncey's father is [[Neville]], his mother is [[Lydia]], and his two older twin brothers are [[Henry and Orville]]. Because Chauncey is an infant, he is immature and prone to throwing tantrums, although Chauncey is also capable of coherent speech. He is the youngest portrait ghost (with a known age) and the only area boss with a given age. Neville notes in his baby care diary that Chauncey is talented at scaring people, even surpassing his [[Henry and Orville|older brothers]]. In the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], Chauncey's number is 4.


'''Chauncey, the Spoiled Baby''' is the third Portrait Ghost [[Luigi]] encounters and is the first boss of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. Chauncey is the son of [[Neville]] and [[Lydia]] and the brother of [[Henry and Orville]].
==History==
===''Luigi's Mansion''===
Chauncey is one of the portrait ghosts that reside in the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|mansion]] during ''Luigi's Mansion''. He is found in the [[Nursery]], although his influence on the area is noticeable before he is directly encountered. Chauncey is shown to be capable of manipulating the chandelier in the [[Foyer (Luigi's Mansion)|Foyer]] and makes it fall if Luigi lingers underneath it (upon which Chauncey's voice can be heard). This trap ceases to function after Chauncey is captured. The Nursery has a photo of what appears to be Chauncey.


When Luigi first found Chauncey in the [[Nursery]], located in the first area, the ghost was sleeping. In order to wake him, Luigi used his [[Poltergust 3000|trusty vacuum]] to rock the rocking horse nearby. Chauncey then tried to "play" with Luigi by sending tree teddy bears at the green plumber. These bears can be sucked up and won't come back. In an attempt to fight back, Luigi used his Poltergust to capture a ball next to the crib and shoot it back at Chauncey. But, this turned out to be a bad move, as Chauncey became upset over his "owie," complained abou grown-up being bigger than him, and ordered Luigi to become tiny!
Chauncey is the final boss of Area One, and he becomes accessible after Luigi obtains the [[key]] to the Nursery by defeating Lydia. Chauncey can be heard crying after Luigi steps out of Lydia's [[Master Bedroom (Luigi's Mansion)|room]] with the key in his possession. Upon entering the Nursery, Chauncey can be seen above a crib, hovering a few feet in the air. Examining his heart with the [[Game Boy Horror]] gives Luigi a hint that points towards a rocking horse in the room. Luigi moves the horse with the [[Poltergust 3000]]. Chauncey forcefully plays with Luigi, and Chauncey uses his rattle to attack Luigi using floating teddy bears. There are three teddy bears in total in the room, and Chauncey attacks using one at a time. Upon contact, they do five HP worth of damage to Luigi and then respawn. Chauncey can also attack Luigi himself with ten damage. The bears can be permanently disposed of by using the vacuum. To proceed to the next phase of the encounter, Luigi catches a ball that is lying around and shoots it at Chauncey with the vacuum. Chauncey then throws a tantrum, complaining about Luigi being bigger than him. Chauncey then proceeds to shrink Luigi.


The green-capped hero landed in Chauncey's crib, miniature-sized, now staring at a huge Spoiled Baby! Soon, with his menacing rattle, Chauncey directed three gigantic rocking horses at the plumber, one by one, causing five [[HP]] of damage for each hit, then six large balls rained down onto the crib, causing two HP of damage for each hit. But, one ball remained after this downpour, and Luigi took the opportunity to suck the ball before it disappeared and redirect it back to Chauncey, now making him vulnerable. However, as the plumber was still small, Luigi would not capture Chauncey in one try. After his failure, the baby would romp around the crib, damaging Luigi ten HP if he was caught in his path. It would take three or four tries to capture the Spoiled Baby, after which Luigi would earn a special key, breaking the seal on the first floor so the plumber could explore it in his search for [[Mario]].
[[File:Chauncey Battle LM 3DS.png|thumb|left|Chauncey in the Nintendo 3DS version.]]
The actual boss battle against Chauncey then takes place inside an isolated area of a giant version of Chauncey's crib. The battle consists of three phases that always occur in a set order. During the first phase, Chauncey summons enormous rocking horses and has them charge at Luigi in a straight line, doing five HP of damage. They attack twice, one at a time coming from each side, but once Chauncey's health drops below 50 HP, the rocking horses are faster, and Chauncey will additionally summon two of them at once after the first two. Next comes the second phase, in which Chauncey makes various balls appear, bounce around, and then disappear again. One of the balls stays behind. The balls will take away two HP. Luigi can use the vacuum to launch the ball at Chauncey, stunning him. While Chauncey is stunned, Luigi can try to catch him with the Poltergust 3000. If Luigi is successful, the battle proceeds with phase three. This phase consists of Chauncey bouncing around on the battlefield, trying to crush Luigi with ten damage. The battle then loops to phase one again and the procedure is repeated until Luigi captures Chauncey. This lets Luigi return to the Nursery, where a [[Treasure Chest|treasure chest]] with the key to Area 2 appears.
 
In the Hidden Mansion of PAL and Nintendo 3DS versions, Chauncey is much harder as his rocking horses are larger and move in a wave left and right. The balls he throws at Luigi also come from the sides, and not from the back, making them harder to avoid. Chauncey is also much faster when stomping around the room.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpQpfytUd9k</ref>

History[edit]

Luigi's Mansion[edit]

Chauncey is one of the portrait ghosts that reside in the mansion during Luigi's Mansion. He is found in the Nursery, although his influence on the area is noticeable before he is directly encountered. Chauncey is shown to be capable of manipulating the chandelier in the Foyer and makes it fall if Luigi lingers underneath it (upon which Chauncey's voice can be heard). This trap ceases to function after Chauncey is captured. The Nursery has a photo of what appears to be Chauncey.

Chauncey is the final boss of Area One, and he becomes accessible after Luigi obtains the key to the Nursery by defeating Lydia. Chauncey can be heard crying after Luigi steps out of Lydia's room with the key in his possession. Upon entering the Nursery, Chauncey can be seen above a crib, hovering a few feet in the air. Examining his heart with the Game Boy Horror gives Luigi a hint that points towards a rocking horse in the room. Luigi moves the horse with the Poltergust 3000. Chauncey forcefully plays with Luigi, and Chauncey uses his rattle to attack Luigi using floating teddy bears. There are three teddy bears in total in the room, and Chauncey attacks using one at a time. Upon contact, they do five HP worth of damage to Luigi and then respawn. Chauncey can also attack Luigi himself with ten damage. The bears can be permanently disposed of by using the vacuum. To proceed to the next phase of the encounter, Luigi catches a ball that is lying around and shoots it at Chauncey with the vacuum. Chauncey then throws a tantrum, complaining about Luigi being bigger than him. Chauncey then proceeds to shrink Luigi.

Luigi battles Chauncey in the Nintendo 3DS remake of Luigi's Mansion.
Chauncey in the Nintendo 3DS version.

The actual boss battle against Chauncey then takes place inside an isolated area of a giant version of Chauncey's crib. The battle consists of three phases that always occur in a set order. During the first phase, Chauncey summons enormous rocking horses and has them charge at Luigi in a straight line, doing five HP of damage. They attack twice, one at a time coming from each side, but once Chauncey's health drops below 50 HP, the rocking horses are faster, and Chauncey will additionally summon two of them at once after the first two. Next comes the second phase, in which Chauncey makes various balls appear, bounce around, and then disappear again. One of the balls stays behind. The balls will take away two HP. Luigi can use the vacuum to launch the ball at Chauncey, stunning him. While Chauncey is stunned, Luigi can try to catch him with the Poltergust 3000. If Luigi is successful, the battle proceeds with phase three. This phase consists of Chauncey bouncing around on the battlefield, trying to crush Luigi with ten damage. The battle then loops to phase one again and the procedure is repeated until Luigi captures Chauncey. This lets Luigi return to the Nursery, where a treasure chest with the key to Area 2 appears.

In the Hidden Mansion of PAL and Nintendo 3DS versions, Chauncey is much harder as his rocking horses are larger and move in a wave left and right. The balls he throws at Luigi also come from the sides, and not from the back, making them harder to avoid. Chauncey is also much faster when stomping around the room.[1]

Mario Kart series[edit]

Chauncey's gold frame portrait makes a cameo in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart DS. In the former game, Chauncey portraits appear on the walls of Luigi's Mansion battle course, while the latter game features a few portraits in the mansion segment of the Luigi's Mansion course. Chauncey's cameo was removed in Mario Kart 7, where it appears as a Retro Course.
