So Luigi goes inside the mansion to retrieve the vacuum found at the Garage inside of a vehicle's hood. Like the first game, Luigi can use to Poltergust 5000 suck up ghosts and objects (by pressing )and blow. As with the Poltergust 3000, the vacuum is equipped with a Flashlight. Throughout his quest, Luigi will encounter various tools to make the vacuum's power greater by collecting treasure in the mansions. Unlike the first game, the Poltergust 5000 can suck in 3 ghosts at a time, any other ghosts stunned with the Strobulb remains stunned until Luigi stop sucking up at least one and switch to the other one.

Features

 * Unlike the Poltergust 3000, after a short period of sucking up the ghost (while pushing the the opposite way of the ghost) the player can press  to make a power surge. Power Surges increase as Luigi upgrades, a Blue Surge removes 10 HP from the ghost, a Green Surge removes 20, and a Red Surge removes 50. Along with extra damage, if defeating a ghost with a Power Surge, an amount of money will be deposit depending on what charge it is, a Blue Surge gives 3 coins, a Green Surge gives one gold bar, and a Red Surge gives 3 gold bars.
 * By collecting 20,000 G, the Super Poltergust can be unlocked, which fills the power bar faster and drains the ghost's HP faster.
