Template:Quote2 The portrait ghosts (sometimes capitalized[1]) or gallery ghosts[2] are ghosts that were once portraits in Luigi's Mansion. Outside of this game and its remake, some of the portrait ghosts reappear in the Mario Kart series in GCN Luigi's Mansion and DS Luigi's Mansion.
History
According to Professor E. Gadd, the first twenty one portrait ghosts and Boolossus (No. 22)[3] were released from their paintings by Boos under the command of King Boo. Luigi has to vacuum up all of the portrait ghosts (except for a few "optional ghosts" like Mr. Luggs) using the Poltergust 3000. Captured portrait ghosts are returned to their paintings via the Ghost Portrificationizer. The frame and the style of the portraits change depending on how many pearls Luigi acquires during the battle with the ghosts.
Sepia tone pictures can be found in many rooms of the mansion. These pictures look similar to each ghost that inhabits the room they are in, suggesting these pictures may be depicting these ghosts when they were alive. Pictures resembling Neville, Lydia, Nana, Vincent Van Gore, Spooky, Chauncey, Mr. Whirlinda, Slim Bankshot, Henry and Orville, and Sue Pea can be seen in the Parlor, Study, Nursery, Ball Room, Billiards Room, Twins' Room, and Guest Room.
All of the portraits were given new designs in the Nintendo 3DS remake.
