__NOTOC__
'''Purple Punchers''' are the second species of normal ghosts [[Luigi]] encounters in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. They first appear in the [[Anteroom]], then in other locations throughout the adventure. As the name implies, these ghosts try to damage Luigi by giving a left or right hook to the green plumber; ten HP is lost for each successful uppercut punch. Luigi can stun Purple Punchers with his flashlight and suck them in with his [[Poltergust 3000]], spray them with an element to be rid of them. Purple Punchers have twenty HP. Though they are called ''"Purple"'' Punchers, they are actually pink in color.

'''Purple Punchers''', also known as '''Pink Mapu'''<ref name=Versus>Loe, Casey. Versus Books ''Luigi's Mansion'' Perfect Guide. Page 16.</ref> or '''bashers''',<ref name=Versus/> are the second species of normal ghosts [[Luigi]] encounters in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. As the name implies, these ghosts try to damage Luigi by giving a left or right hook to him; ten HP is lost for each successful uppercut punch. Luigi can stun Purple Punchers with his [[flashlight]], and then suck them in with his [[Poltergust 3000]]. They can also be hurt by any of the three elements.


Purple Punchers, along with several other ghosts, make a reappearance in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''.
In an [[list of Luigi's Mansion pre-release and unused content|earlier version]] of ''Luigi's Mansion'', Purple Punchers had 30 HP each. However, this was changed to 20 in the final version for unknown reasons. This pre-release screenshot can be seen on page 19 of the ''Luigi's Mansion'' instruction booklet.<ref>[http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Wiki/images/e/e5/Luigi%27s_Mansion_-_GC_-_USA_-_Manual.pdf ''Luigi's Mansion'' instruction booklet], page 19.</ref>
