"Luigi's Mansion 3 — Behind the Poltergust G-00 with Volpin Props" is a video released on Play Nintendo's YouTube channel to promote Luigi's Mansion 3. The video is narrated by a worker at Volpin Props, who details the process of creating a real replica of the Poltergust G-00, a process he describes as "incredibly challenging and absolutely no room for any mistakes". Nintendo provided Volpin Props with the Poltergust G-00's model so they can make an accurate real world prototype. Custom electronic circuits were created to allow the bilge fans to intake and exhaust just like the Poltergust G-00 does in the game. To make the effect of goo being inside the Poltergust, thin layers of fluorescent green-dyed expanding foam that are back lit with LEDs are made. The leather straps were made with help from God Save the Queen Fashions, another shop they have done business with in the past who are experts when it comes to leather making. The narrator describes this process as "solving a puzzle that another evil version of you created just for you to solve". The video ends with the narrator hoping that if the viewer gets a chance to hold or see any of their props, it will bring them into the game and give them the same amount of joy they get when they finish a piece. A Luigi mascot costume is also seen holding it.
