A '''Portrait Ghost''' is a ghost that was once a portrait in the game ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.

The '''portrait ghosts''' (sometimes capitalized<ref>''Luigi's Mansion'' instruction manual, page 25.</ref>) or '''gallery ghosts'''<ref>''Luigi's Mansion Nintendo Power Player's Guide'', various pages{{page needed}}</ref> are [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo 3DS version]] who were converted into [[painting]]s at one point.
==History==
===''Luigi's Mansion'' / ''Luigi's Mansion'' (Nintendo 3DS)===
According to [[Professor E. Gadd]], the first twenty one portrait ghosts and [[Boolossus]] (No. 22)<ref>"''The last ghost I caught was No. 22, {{color|peru|Boolossus}}, but there are lots of Boos, and {{color|peru|King Boo}} rallied them all to take revenge upon me!''" — Professor E. Gadd, ''Luigi's Mansion''</ref> were released from their paintings by [[Boo]]s under the command of [[King Boo]]. [[Luigi]] has to vacuum up all of the portrait ghosts (except for a few "optional ghosts" like [[Mr. Luggs]]) using the [[Poltergust 3000]]. Captured portrait ghosts are returned to their paintings via the [[Ghost Portrificationizer]]. The frame and the style of the portraits change depending on how Luigi fares against the ghost. All of the portraits were given new designs in the Nintendo 3DS remake.
 
To achieve the bronze frame, Luigi must drain 10 to 40 HP at once and collect small pearls. In boss areas, he receives it when his health is below 60 HP.
 
To achieve the silver frame, Luigi must drain 50 to 80 HP at once and collect medium pearls. In boss areas, he must keep his health at 60 HP.
 
To achieve the golden frame, Luigi must drain 90 HP at once and collect the large pearl. In boss areas, he must keep his health at 90 HP.
 
In the 3DS Hidden Mansion, to achieve the platinum frame, Luigi must drain 140 HP and collect more pearls. In boss areas, he must keep his health at 95 HP.  


==History==
Sepia tone pictures can be found in many rooms of the mansion. These pictures look similar to each ghost that inhabits the room they are in, suggesting these pictures may be depicting these ghosts when they were alive. Pictures resembling [[Neville]], [[Lydia]], [[Nana]], [[Vincent Van Gore]], [[Spooky (character)|Spooky]], [[Chauncey]], [[The Floating Whirlindas|Mr. Whirlinda]], [[Slim Bankshot]], [[Henry and Orville]], and [[Sue Pea]] can be seen in the [[Parlor (Luigi's Mansion)|Parlor]], [[Study (Luigi's Mansion)|Study]], [[Nursery]], [[Ball Room]], [[Billiards Room]], [[The Twins' Room|Twins' Room]], and [[Guest Room]].

The frame and the style of the portraits would change depending on how many [[Pearl (item)|pearl]]s Luigi acquired during the battle with the ghosts.


Black and white pictures can be found in many of the Portrait Ghosts' rooms in the mansion. These pictures look similar to each ghost that inhabits the room they are in, suggesting these pictures may be depicting these ghosts when they were alive. Pictures of [[Chauncey]], [[Slim Bankshot]], [[Henry and Orville]], and [[Sue Pea]] can be seen in the [[Nursery]], [[Billiards Room]], [[The Twins' Room|Twins' Room]], and [[Guest Room]], respectively.
===''Mario Kart'' series===
Some of the portrait ghosts reappear in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series in {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi's Mansion}} and {{classic-link|DS|Luigi's Mansion}}, which were replaced with generic [[Boo]] portraits in later appearances.

Neville
Neville, the bookish father, the first portrait ghost encountered.
“They used my machine to free Boolossus from the painting...then they went and turned all my other portraits back into ghosts, too!”
—Professor E. Gadd, Luigi's Mansion

The portrait ghosts (sometimes capitalized[1]) or gallery ghosts[2] are ghosts in Luigi's Mansion and its Nintendo 3DS version who were converted into paintings at one point.

History[edit]

Luigi's Mansion / Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)[edit]

According to Professor E. Gadd, the first twenty one portrait ghosts and Boolossus (No. 22)[3] were released from their paintings by Boos under the command of King Boo. Luigi has to vacuum up all of the portrait ghosts (except for a few "optional ghosts" like Mr. Luggs) using the Poltergust 3000. Captured portrait ghosts are returned to their paintings via the Ghost Portrificationizer. The frame and the style of the portraits change depending on how Luigi fares against the ghost. All of the portraits were given new designs in the Nintendo 3DS remake.

To achieve the bronze frame, Luigi must drain 10 to 40 HP at once and collect small pearls. In boss areas, he receives it when his health is below 60 HP.

To achieve the silver frame, Luigi must drain 50 to 80 HP at once and collect medium pearls. In boss areas, he must keep his health at 60 HP.

To achieve the golden frame, Luigi must drain 90 HP at once and collect the large pearl. In boss areas, he must keep his health at 90 HP.

In the 3DS Hidden Mansion, to achieve the platinum frame, Luigi must drain 140 HP and collect more pearls. In boss areas, he must keep his health at 95 HP.

Sepia tone pictures can be found in many rooms of the mansion. These pictures look similar to each ghost that inhabits the room they are in, suggesting these pictures may be depicting these ghosts when they were alive. Pictures resembling Neville, Lydia, Nana, Vincent Van Gore, Spooky, Chauncey, Mr. Whirlinda, Slim Bankshot, Henry and Orville, and Sue Pea can be seen in the Parlor, Study, Nursery, Ball Room, Billiards Room, Twins' Room, and Guest Room.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Some of the portrait ghosts reappear in the Mario Kart series in GCN Luigi's Mansion and DS Luigi's Mansion, which were replaced with generic Boo portraits in later appearances.
