This article is about the item in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. For the Gloomy Manor mission, see Poltergust 5000 (mission). For other uses of "Poltergust", see Poltergust.

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.

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 and blow things away by pressing . 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 . If the player long presses , 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 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]

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.

Minecraft[edit]

In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Luigi wearing the Poltergust 5000 on his back is a playable skin.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]

The Suction Destruction

Luigi's first Precision weapon in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, the Suction Destruction, is styled after the Poltergust 5000.

Super Nintendo World[edit]

In Super Nintendo World, the Poltergust 5000 can be seen in the Luigi Mii Racing Suit display at the queue of Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge.

Super Mario Run[edit]

In Super Mario Run, Luigi wearing the Poltergust 5000 appears as a statue in Kingdom Builder, which was made available during the Luigi's Mansion 2 HD event that coincided with the game's release. It is unlocked by completing three "Luigi's Ghost Hunt" missions.

-While players could use {{button|gcn|C}} to help suck up ghosts in the original game, the Poltergust 5000 instead uses a "Power Surge"{{ref needed}} technique when sucking in ghosts. After charging a meter for a short time, players can press {{button|3ds|A}} to suck up a large amount of the ghost's health in one go. A Blue Surge removes 10 HP from the ghost, a Green Surge removes 20, and a Red Surge removes 60. Vacuuming in a ghost with a Power Surge will result in them dropping a certain amount of gold bars, which is dependent on what charge was used to vacuum them in: a Blue Surge gives 3 coins, a Green Surge gives one gold bar, and a Red Surge gives 3 gold bars. If there are multiple ghosts within the suction, the ghosts will always drop an additional gold bar when captured, from a single gold bar with no surge, to a maximum of 4 gold bars from a Red Surge. During some battles, such as with the fights against the [[Possessor]]s, this technique is required.

-==Trivia==
-*On March 27, 2013, Nintendo revealed that they had posted a challenge to [[wikipedia:iam8bit|iam8bit]] to make a working Poltergust 5000 replica, complete with a lit Strobulb and overall backpack design just as in the game.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0vXud2TKVU YouTube - Nintendo 3DS - Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Poltergust 5000 Making of Video]</ref>
-*After Luigi upgrades to Super Poltergust, the Poltergust 5000 has a design on the wheels, but when the player is at the Bunker, the wheels have no design.
-*This version of the Poltergust is numbered "5000" after the previous was numbered "3000" likely to acknowledge the [[Poltergust 4000]] kart from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.
-*In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Luigi wearing the Poltergust 5000 on his back is a playable skin.
-*A controller based on the Poltergust 5000 is used for ''[[Luigi's Mansion Arcade]]''.
-*If the player returns to an earlier mission after upgrading to the Super Poltergust in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', the Super Poltergust will stay equipped.
-*Luigi's first Precision weapon in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', the [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Suction Destruction|Suction Destruction]], is styled after the Poltergust 5000.
