Ghost Portrificationizer

The Ghost Portrificationizer is a machine invented by Professor E. Gadd during the events of Luigi's Mansion and revealed in the Ghost Portrificationizer Room. The machine can turn any ghosts trapped within the Poltergust 3000 into portraits. After the player has completed an area of the game, Luigi takes all of the ghosts that he captures and turns them into portraits. Each ghost looks different in its frame; each has a different pose and possibly different frame colors – frame color depends on how efficiently Luigi captures the ghost.

The Ghost Portrificationizer can work backwards; in the final cinematic of the game, Mario is transformed from a portrait back into his human self. The Ghost Portrificationizer has a metal lip to which Luigi can attach the Poltergust 3000. A blue section of the machine separates the common ghosts from the portrait ghosts. The machine then finishes its process by resizing, squashing, and framing the ghosts. The portraits are then dispensed from the end of the machine, able to be hung in the gallery for later viewing.

Trivia

 * The music that plays when a ghost is getting Portificationized, which also plays during Mario's restoration, is a remix of the main theme from Super Mario Bros. played backwards.
 * Though E. Gadd says that the ghosts are invisible until they are Portrificationized, they take the form of bluish masses while in the machine.
 * There is a yellow machine in the background of the Conveyor belt with a yellow and red lights.
 * There is a gray painting with a gold outline of 3 blue beta ghosts that were playing cards as seen at Nintendo Space World 2000.
