Jarvis

"Whadda ya think o' me jar collection, then?"

- Jarvis

Jarvis, the Jar Collector (Japanese: シボーン Shibōn), is an antique jar collecting ghost of unknown age. Apparently, Jarvis loves jars so much, he now lives inside one. Luigi first discovered Jarvis in the Ceramics Studio on the third floor of Luigi's Mansion. Although Luigi did not need to capture Jarvis to save his brother, the green-clad plumber could earn a Silver Diamond and two Gold Bars if he bested the portrait ghost in combat.

After entering the studio, Luigi quickly explored the jar-filled room. After examining the area around the far wall, Jarvis appeared from one of the jars and challenged Luigi to a Whac-A-Mole-style game. If Luigi could hit Jarvis with blasts of ice seven times, the jar collecting ghost would allow the hero to fight him. After collecting an Ice Elemental Ghost, Luigi shot icy mist at Jarvis as the ghost warped to different jars around the room. After seven hits, Jarvis was ready for the real test to begin.

Angered by losing the game, Jarvis started levitating ceramic jars and mentally throwing them at Luigi, dealing five damage for every hit. Luigi countered by sucking up Jarvis with the Poltergust 3000. Eventually, Luigi overcame Jarvis' medium pull and captured the portrait ghost. After collecting the ghost's valuable treasure, Luigi continued his search for his captured brother.

Trivia

 * Jarvis' name is an obvious pun on the word "jar".
 * Jarvis is very similar to Roger the Potted Ghost, who appeared in the game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
 * Jarvis is shown being three different colors in. Red on screen, purple in his silver and bronze portraits, and pink in his gold portrait.
 * Jarvis is the only portrait ghost whose heart can't be checked who isn't a boss.
 * Jarvis speaks in a stereotypical Scottish accent.
 * It is possible that Jarvis once looked human in life, as opposed to other nonhuman ghosts, but took on this form in death when he decided to live in a jar. He may just be an as-of-yet unknown species in the Mario World.
