Shining Ghost
From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
Template:Quote2 Shining Ghosts are ghosts only found in the Observatory in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. They rain down on Luigi once he looks through the Observatory's telescope and sees the moon. Luigi is able to suck a Shining Ghost into the slot of his Poltergust 3000. He can then fire it at the moon, causing the moon to explode, revealing Mario's Star. They can also hurt Luigi.

Trivia
- As shown in the E3 2001 trailer, the Shining Ghost originally had a different behavior: it was seen bouncing around Luigi in the Nursery, and could be sucked up by the Poltergust 3000. It was also completely colored white in this version of the game, though the final game's data includes unused ones of Template:Media link.
