==''Luigi's Mansion''==
Spooky resides in the [[Boneyard]] in the mansion's backyard, where it rests in a doghouse. When [[Luigi]] approaches Spooky, the dog spots him and begins to chase him around the Boneyard, attempting to bite him each time after barking. If it does, Spooky will not let go of Luigi until it is shaken off, causing it to flip in the air and whine. After Spooky barks four times, an annoyed [[Mr. Bones]] appears. He complains about the noise and then attacks Luigi. Capturing Mr. Bones leaves a bone in the ground. Spooky stops chasing Luigi to lick the bone, causing it to let its guard down. In this state, Spooky is vulnerable and can be vacuumed by the [[Poltergust 3000]]. After struggling, Spooky is eventually captured, which causes a vortex leading to the [[Graveyard]] to appear in its doghouse.
