| First appearance | Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018) |
| Latest appearance | Luigi’s Mansion 3 (2019) |
The Poltergust G-00 is the Poltergust model used by Luigi in Luigi's Mansion 3 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Its name appears to be a pun on "goo," referring to Gooigi, who is stored inside the device.
History[edit]
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
The Poltergust G-00 was teased in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's August 8 Nintendo Direct, specifically in Simon Belmont and Richter Belmont's reveal trailer, where Luigi was shown using its Strobulb and Suction Shot in an attempt to ward off a mummy horde in Dracula's Castle, with no success.
Later in the November 1 Nintendo Direct, the Poltergust G-00 was officially confirmed as a moveset element for Luigi, replacing his previous grab and throws. For his grab, Luigi uses the Suction Shot from the Poltergust G-00; as a result, it has much more range than Luigi's previous grab, and it also grants him a grab aerial. Luigi's up throw directly involves the Poltergust G-00, as he uses it to eject opponents at a high upward distance. His forward and back throws were also given new animations to fit his new grab, as he now slams the opponent with the Poltergust G-00 during both these throws. Lastly, his Final Smash now utilizes the Poltergust G-00, with it replacing the Poltergust 5000 function-wise from the previous game.
Luigi's Mansion 3[edit]
The Poltergust G-00 officially debuts in a Super Mario-franchise game with its appearance in Luigi's Mansion 3, being used by Luigi. The Poltergust G-00 uses the Strobulb equipment from previous Luigi's Mansion games, the Dark-Light Device from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and has the aforementioned ability to fire grabbable suction cups with the Suction Shot. With the Burst function, the Poltergust G-00 creates a shockwave that can blow away enemies and allow Luigi to jump with it.
Similar to Luigi's forward and back throws in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Poltergust G-00 can slam ghosts on the ground or into each other. The glass cylinder in the back also serves as a storage tank for Gooigi, and the Poltergust can transfer Luigi's consciousness into Gooigi's body. The Power Gauge is retained, but instead of a level-type gauge, the gauge is in a circular form, and if the player presses 
when the gauge is fully charged, the new Slam function, which slams ghosts to the ground to lower their HP, can be used. Slamming ghosts can also damage other ghosts in the vicinity.
An aesthetic unlockable replacement called the Poltergust Type-G can be unlocked by completing all Achievements in the game. The Suction Shot can also be upgraded with the unlockable Suction Shot Type-C.
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit[edit]
Although the Poltergust G-00 does not appear in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, a kart that is based on it appears in the game.
