In the ScareScraper mode, they are featured in their own mode: Polterpup Mode. In Polterpup Mode, the Luigis must hunt down as many Polterpups as possible by using their [[Dark-Light Device]]s to see the footprints. Once a Polterpup has been located, he must be vacuumed up immediately. Each Polterpup has 70 HP, but [[Luigi]] can find a Big Polterpup, which has 140 HP.

Unlike the [[Polterpup (character)|Polterpup]] in Dark Moon Quest, or any other ghost in the game, regular and Big Polterpups in ScareScraper always drop a Gold Bar when captured, even if the Poltergust 5000 is at minimal power. This means that they will drop an additional Gold Bar on top of whatever Power Surge a Luigi uses to drain its health, from two Gold Bars from a Blue Surge up to eight from a Red Surge. A Polterpup drops ten Gold Bars if it is captured with another ghost from a Red Surge.
