The '''lab''' is a recurring location in the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]].
 
The '''Poltergust 3000''' is a vacuum invented by [[Professor E. Gadd]] to catch [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]]. It first appears in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', as [[Luigi]]'s main weapon. It is the first model in the [[Poltergust]] line of devices, named after the terms "poltergeist," a ghost who makes itself known through things such as noises, and "gust," referring to wind. The "3000" part of the Poltergust 3000's name is likely a nod to the "thousand" numbers after mad scientists' inventions in typical science fiction movies. It is also a parody of the Proton Pack from the ''{{wp|Ghostbusters (franchise)|Ghostbusters}}'' franchise.
 
The '''Poltergust 5000''' is the name of the vacuum that [[Luigi]] uses in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' and ''[[Luigi's Mansion 2 HD]]''. It is an upgraded version of the [[Poltergust 3000]] from the [[Luigi's Mansion|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]]''.
 
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==
===''Luigi's Mansion'' series===
====''Luigi's Mansion''====
[[File:LM Vaccuuming Blue Twirler Artwork.jpg|thumb|left|The Poltergust 3000 in action]]
The Poltergust 3000 is a vacuum used by [[Luigi]] to hunt down ghosts in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remake]]. To suck up ghosts, Luigi first has to find their weakness (which usually involves his [[flashlight]] in some way) and exploit it. Once the ghost is open, Luigi needs to bring its health down to 0 before it can be sucked into the Poltergust and defeated. By sucking up [[Elemental Ghost]]s (which only appear after collecting their corresponding [[element medal]]s), the Poltergust gains the ability to harness the elements of fire, ice, and water to fight certain ghosts and solve puzzles. By linking up with E. Gadd's [[Ghost Portrificationizer]], it can upload captured ghosts and turn them into portraits. This is demonstrated by the various [[portrait ghost]]s found throughout [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|the mansion]]. In British English releases, the Poltergust 3000 has wheels, allowing Luigi to ride on it, but he can only ever do so in the [[Boolossus]] battle.
 
====''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' / ''Luigi's Mansion 2 HD''====
[[File:Poltergust5000Retrieval.png|thumb|left|220px|Screenshot from ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'']]
The Poltergust 5000 is an object in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' and ''[[Luigi's Mansion 2 HD]]''. It is the vacuum that Luigi uses throughout the game. When the [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|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 [[Poltergust 5000 (mission)|first mission]] of the game, recovering the vacuum from the vehicle in the [[Garage (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)|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 {{button|3ds|R}} and blow things away by pressing {{button|3ds|L}}. 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 {{button|3ds|A}}. If the player long presses {{button|3ds|A}}, 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"<ref>{{cite|title=''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' instruction booklet|quote=(When POWER GAUGE appears) Press {{button|3ds|A}} for power surge}}{{page needed}}</ref> attack while sucking in ghosts. After charging a meter for a short time, players can press {{button|3ds|A}} 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 [[Creeper]]s, enemies with [[paranormal shield]]s, 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.
{{br|left}}
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 Device|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]].

{{br}}
In 2013, a challenge was given to {{iw|wikipedia|iam8bit}} to make a working Poltergust 5000 replica, complete with a lit Strobulb and overall backpack design just as in the game.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0vXud2TKVU|title=Nintendo 3DS - ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' Poltergust 5000 Making of Video|author=Nintendo of America|date=March 27, 2013|publisher=YouTube|language=en-us|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref>
====''Luigi's Mansion Arcade''====
A controller based on the Poltergust 5000 is used for ''[[Luigi's Mansion Arcade]]''.
====''Luigi's Mansion 3''====
The Poltergust G-00 officially debuts in a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|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 (series)|''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 {{button|switch|A}} 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 [[Luigi's Mansion 3#Achievements|Achievements]] in the game. The Suction Shot can also be upgraded with the unlockable [[Suction Shot Type-C]].
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the Poltergust 3000 appears on the Vacuum [[Luigi]] [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]]'s back.


====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Poltergust 3000 was given a trophy of its own.

{{LM room infobox
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Poltergust 5000}}
|image=[[File:LM Full Lab Screenshot.png|250px]]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]] / [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|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 [[List of items|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.
|area=Other
 
|ghost=''(none)''
In the American English localization of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', there is a trophy incorrectly titled "Luigi (with Poltergust 3000)," because it instead shows Luigi with the [[Poltergust 5000]]. This error was fixed in the British English localization, which renames the trophy "Luigi (with Poltergust 5000)".
 
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
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.
 
Though the Poltergust 5000 returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], Luigi instead uses the [[Poltergust G-00]] as his Final Smash.
 
===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:Luigi SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|270px|Luigi using the Poltergust 5000 in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
In volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Luigi uses the Poltergust 3000 when facing against [[Huff N. Puff]] in a ''Paper Mario'' arc and King Boo in a ''Luigi's Mansion'' arc.
 
===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]], a newer model known as the [[Super Poltergust 3001]] appears. Luigi is shown to still own the original Poltergust, which he used in various cutscenes in [[Starbeans Cafe]], using it on E. Gadd himself twice, the first time after Gadd taste-tests the second [[Starbeans Cafe#Bean Juice|drink]] in order to prevent him from being forced to use the restroom inside the café (due to his neglecting to add restrooms in the place); the second time due to fear as a result of E. Gadd becoming a "ghost" via a specialized [[gown]] after test-tasting the last drink.
 
===''Mario Tennis'' series===
The Poltergust appears in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and ''[[Mario Tennis: Power Tour]]'' as a Defensive Power Shot known as the [[Poltergust Return]]. Like other Defensive Power Shots, its purpose is to hit the ball when it is out if range. Its offensive counterpart is the [[Squeaky Mallet]].
 
===''Mario Kart'' series===
TODO: briefly mention [[Poltergust 4000]].
 
Although the Poltergust G-00 does not appear in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'', a [[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit#Karts|kart]] that is based on it appears in the game.
 
===''Mario Sports Mix''===
The Poltergust 3000 appears in Luigi's Special Attacks in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. As there are four different sports in said game, its use varies slightly between each sport. However, each sport has him doing the same thing: Luigi sucks in the ball or puck, then he expels air from the Poltergust at his opponents to cause them to trip. After that, he shoots the ball or puck either toward the goal (in basketball and hockey), toward the open ground (in volleyball), or at the opponents (in dodgeball).
 
===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Luigi wearing the Poltergust 5000 on his back is a playable skin.
 
===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===
[[File:MRKB Suction Destruction.png|thumb|The Suction Destruction]]
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.
 
===Super Nintendo World===
In [[Super Nintendo World]], the Poltergust 5000 can be seen in the Luigi [[Mii|Mii Racing Suit]] display at the queue of Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge.
 
===''Super Mario Run''===
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.

The Lab first appears in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and in [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. It is here that [[Professor E. Gadd]] informs [[Luigi]] about the mansion and its ghosts near the beginning of the game, and later provides information on [[Boo]]s. This is also where E. Gadd asks the player where they want to go; to the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Mansion]], the [[Training Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Training Room]], the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], or, once the game is beaten, the [[Luigi's Mansion#Hidden Mansion|Hidden Mansion]]. It contains a [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]] which used to house all of the ghosts which haunt [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Luigi's Mansion]] before the events of the game.

It, a [[Portrificationizer Chamber]] which contains the [[Ghost Portrificationizer]], and a [[Training Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Training Room]]. It is implied that the lab is securely located underneath a garden tool shed outside the Mansion's property, as there is a ladder leading out of the lab's main room and the professor is seen waving at Luigi while standing near the shed during the cutscene that plays whenever Luigi leaves the lab for the Mansion.

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, the camera has a different angle to fit with the screen and show the second player. Also, when E.

The Bunker's has a dome-shaped exterior modeled after E. Gadd's head. Equipped with several monitors and an assortment of technological equipment, the Bunker is where E. Gadd [[Pixelator|pixelates]] Luigi to and from the various mansions in the game, tracks and cleanses pieces of the [[Dark Moon]], and repairs broken objects. A platform in the floor takes [[Luigi]] to [[E. Gadd's Vault]], where captured ghosts, money, and [[gem]]s are stored. The Bunker briefly appears in the [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|3DS remake]] of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' when the E.

While in the lab, Luigi has access to all of the features of the [[Virtual Boo]], such as talking to E. Gadd, changing settings, and viewing a map of the hotel. Additionally, Luigi can view the [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]]s and [[gem]]s he has collected and access the [[ScareScraper]] and [[ScreamPark]].


After obtaining the [[The Great Stage|fourth floor]]'s [[elevator button]] from the [[Mezzanine]] and returning it to the elevator, E. Gadd introduces the Shopping Network, which allows Luigi to buy [[Gold Bone]]s, [[Boo Finder]]s, and [[Gem Finder]]s for 1000G apiece. He also gives the Luigi the ability to warp to the lab from anywhere in the hotel instead of having to travel back to the garage. However, he cannot do this if he is escorting a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] or there are ghosts after him.

At the end of the game, the lab is attacked by [[King Boo]], who uses his crown's power to carry it to the [[Rooftop (Luigi's Mansion 3)|roof]] of the hotel. He then destroys the lab and traps E. Gadd and all of the Toads in a painting.

=Name source proposal, a draft?=
===Rethink names sourcing, again===
I am proposing a change to the policy for sourcing subject names across languages, as I disagree with the current one, in place since [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/68#Require citations for names in other languages|this proposal]].
 
'''The reasoning:'''
* The best way to ensure subject names across languages are correct, like with most kinds of information, is through the vigilance of readers/editors, which can spot incorrect information.
* Citations for names are important because they make it possible/easier to verify whether they are correct.
* Not all names are made easier to verify by adding a simple citation. The current policy requires these to be sourced regardless, as long as the name is from a non-English language. In most cases this is pointless busywork.
 
'''Point #1: Names that need not be sourced'''
:Names do not need to be sourced if they are found in game, and if their location is self-explanatory. Examples include:
:* Character names from character selection screens and similar UI elements;
:* Enemy names in RPGs where enemies' names appear when targeted, or games with enemy encyclopedias;
:* Item names in games with inventories where item names are displayed;
:* Stage and area names displayed when selecting or entering a stage or area;
:Although a source is not required, one may be added if it aids in verifiability, such a link to a YouTube video or a screenshot.
 
'''Point #2: Names that should be sourced'''
:Names should be sourced if they is not found in game, or if their location in game is not self-explanatory. Examples include:
:* Names from character dialogue &mdash; should mention which character says the line, and (if applicable) when and where. In addition, editors would be encouraged to directly cite the line of dialogue;
:* Names (A) found within other names (B) (such as enemies mentioned in the names of stages or collectibles) &mdash; should mention and link to the subject whose name (B) is being used as a source. If linking is not possible, and the name (B) being used as a source is a category of name that should be sourced (point #1), it should be sourced in the article for A; <small>(I have worded this in a very confusing way. TODO: try not to.)</small>
:* Names from non-game sources &mdash; same as currently;
:As with point #1, the source may additionally include a YouTube video, screenshot, or other way of directly verifying.
 
'''Point #3: Names across languages'''
:The same criteria should be used for every language, including English.
 
'''Point #4: Names across different media'''
:Subjects often have different names in different media (games etc.) A source should thus be provided for the subject's name in each piece of media it appears in, if applicable (according to points #1 and #2).
 
'''Proposer''': {{User|Blinker}}<br>
'''Deadline''': [insert a deadline here, 14 days after the proposal was created, at 23:59 GMT, in the format: "October 18, 2024, 23:59 GMT"]

Toad nonsense

Keep:

  • Super Mario Bros. 2: Self-explanatory.
  • BS Super Mario USA: Ditto.
  • Super Mario 3D World: Ditto.
  • Super Mario Run: Singular Toad playable character coexists with generic Toad NPCs. Probably remove mention of the shopkeeper, though.
  • Super Mario Maker 2: Self explanatory. Possibly split Taskmaster.
  • Cartoons and comics: Duh.
  • Mario Golf series: Playable character.
  • Mario Kart series: Playable character.
  • Mario is Missing!: ???
  • Wario's Woods: Playable main character.
  • Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars: Self-explanatory.
  • Mario Tennis series: Playable character.
  • Satella-Q: ???
  • Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle Stadium: Playable character.

Remove:

  • Super Mario Bros. 3: Multiple Toads appear in this game, running various Toad houses, working for the rulers of different countries. No main Toad.
  • Super Mario 64: Multiple Toads appear in this game. No main Toad. Manual mentions "Toad" being missing, in the singular, but this is a mistranslation.
  • Super Mario Sunshine: Multiple Toads appear in this game. No main Toad.
  • Super Mario Galaxy 2: Box art has a basic Toad. That's it.
  • Super Mario 3D Land: No evidence that the basic Toads in the game are a recurring individual. A specific trio of a red Toad, a yellow Toad and a blue Toad feature much more prominently in this game.
  • New Super Mario Bros. 2: No evidence that the basic Toads in the Toad Houses are a recurring individual.
  • New Super Mario Bros. U: Ditto.

Unsure

  • Super Mario Galaxy: The Toad in the intro being shown alongside Toadette appears to allude to Toad and Toadette in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Plus, the save icon. Everything else, remove. Shared artwork means little when Kamek and Magikoopa also share artwork.
  • Super Mario Galaxy 2: The save icon...
  • Super Mario Maker: ???
  • Mario Teaches Typing: ???
  • Game & Watch Gallery series: ???

Poltergust

This page is about Luigi's main weapon in the Luigi's Mansion series. For other uses of "Poltergust", see Poltergust.
Sandbox
LM3 Poltergust G-00 artwork.png
First appearance Luigi's Mansion (2001)
Latest appearance Super Mario Run (version 3.2.0, cameo) (2024)
“That’s the vacuum cleaner I engineered to catch ghosts.... It’s the only way to foil ’em! This is the only thing they fear!”
—Professor E. Gadd, Luigi's Mansion

The Poltergust 3000 is a vacuum invented by Professor E. Gadd to catch ghosts. It first appears in Luigi's Mansion, as Luigi's main weapon. It is the first model in the Poltergust line of devices, named after the terms "poltergeist," a ghost who makes itself known through things such as noises, and "gust," referring to wind. The "3000" part of the Poltergust 3000's name is likely a nod to the "thousand" numbers after mad scientists' inventions in typical science fiction movies. It is also a parody of the Proton Pack from the Ghostbusters franchise.

The Poltergust 5000 is the name of the vacuum that Luigi uses in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD. 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.

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

Luigi's Mansion series

Luigi's Mansion

Luigi sucking up a Blue Twirler
The Poltergust 3000 in action

The Poltergust 3000 is a vacuum used by Luigi to hunt down ghosts in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. To suck up ghosts, Luigi first has to find their weakness (which usually involves his flashlight in some way) and exploit it. Once the ghost is open, Luigi needs to bring its health down to 0 before it can be sucked into the Poltergust and defeated. By sucking up Elemental Ghosts (which only appear after collecting their corresponding element medals), the Poltergust gains the ability to harness the elements of fire, ice, and water to fight certain ghosts and solve puzzles. By linking up with E. Gadd's Ghost Portrificationizer, it can upload captured ghosts and turn them into portraits. This is demonstrated by the various portrait ghosts found throughout the mansion. In British English releases, the Poltergust 3000 has wheels, allowing Luigi to ride on it, but he can only ever do so in the Boolossus battle.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon / Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

Screenshot from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

The Poltergust 5000 is an object in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD. 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 R Button and blow things away by pressing L Button. 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 A Button. If the player long presses A Button, 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 A Button 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

A controller based on the Poltergust 5000 is used for Luigi's Mansion Arcade.

Luigi's Mansion 3

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 A Button 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.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Melee

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Poltergust 3000 appears on the Vacuum Luigi trophy's back.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Poltergust 3000 was given a trophy of its own.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

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.

In the American English localization of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, there is a trophy incorrectly titled "Luigi (with Poltergust 3000)," because it instead shows Luigi with the Poltergust 5000. This error was fixed in the British English localization, which renames the trophy "Luigi (with Poltergust 5000)".

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

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.

Though the Poltergust 5000 returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a spirit, Luigi instead uses the Poltergust G-00 as his Final Smash.

Super Mario-kun

Luigi using the Poltergust 5000 in Super Mario-kun

In volume 26 of Super Mario-kun, Luigi uses the Poltergust 3000 when facing against Huff N. Puff in a Paper Mario arc and King Boo in a Luigi's Mansion arc.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake, a newer model known as the Super Poltergust 3001 appears. Luigi is shown to still own the original Poltergust, which he used in various cutscenes in Starbeans Cafe, using it on E. Gadd himself twice, the first time after Gadd taste-tests the second drink in order to prevent him from being forced to use the restroom inside the café (due to his neglecting to add restrooms in the place); the second time due to fear as a result of E. Gadd becoming a "ghost" via a specialized gown after test-tasting the last drink.

Mario Tennis series

The Poltergust appears in Mario Power Tennis and Mario Tennis: Power Tour as a Defensive Power Shot known as the Poltergust Return. Like other Defensive Power Shots, its purpose is to hit the ball when it is out if range. Its offensive counterpart is the Squeaky Mallet.

Mario Kart series

TODO: briefly mention Poltergust 4000.

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.

Mario Sports Mix

The Poltergust 3000 appears in Luigi's Special Attacks in Mario Sports Mix. As there are four different sports in said game, its use varies slightly between each sport. However, each sport has him doing the same thing: Luigi sucks in the ball or puck, then he expels air from the Poltergust at his opponents to cause them to trip. After that, he shoots the ball or puck either toward the goal (in basketball and hockey), toward the open ground (in volleyball), or at the opponents (in dodgeball).

Minecraft

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

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

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

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

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.

Name source proposal, a draft?

Rethink names sourcing, again

I am proposing a change to the policy for sourcing subject names across languages, as I disagree with the current one, in place since this proposal.

The reasoning:

  • The best way to ensure subject names across languages are correct, like with most kinds of information, is through the vigilance of readers/editors, which can spot incorrect information.
  • Citations for names are important because they make it possible/easier to verify whether they are correct.
  • Not all names are made easier to verify by adding a simple citation. The current policy requires these to be sourced regardless, as long as the name is from a non-English language. In most cases this is pointless busywork.

Point #1: Names that need not be sourced

Names do not need to be sourced if they are found in game, and if their location is self-explanatory. Examples include:
  • Character names from character selection screens and similar UI elements;
  • Enemy names in RPGs where enemies' names appear when targeted, or games with enemy encyclopedias;
  • Item names in games with inventories where item names are displayed;
  • Stage and area names displayed when selecting or entering a stage or area;
Although a source is not required, one may be added if it aids in verifiability, such a link to a YouTube video or a screenshot.

Point #2: Names that should be sourced

Names should be sourced if they is not found in game, or if their location in game is not self-explanatory. Examples include:
  • Names from character dialogue — should mention which character says the line, and (if applicable) when and where. In addition, editors would be encouraged to directly cite the line of dialogue;
  • Names (A) found within other names (B) (such as enemies mentioned in the names of stages or collectibles) — should mention and link to the subject whose name (B) is being used as a source. If linking is not possible, and the name (B) being used as a source is a category of name that should be sourced (point #1), it should be sourced in the article for A; (I have worded this in a very confusing way. TODO: try not to.)
  • Names from non-game sources — same as currently;
As with point #1, the source may additionally include a YouTube video, screenshot, or other way of directly verifying.

Point #3: Names across languages

The same criteria should be used for every language, including English.

Point #4: Names across different media

Subjects often have different names in different media (games etc.) A source should thus be provided for the subject's name in each piece of media it appears in, if applicable (according to points #1 and #2).

Proposer: Blinker (talk)
Deadline: [insert a deadline here, 14 days after the proposal was created, at 23:59 GMT, in the format: "October 18, 2024, 23:59 GMT"]
