'''Jarvis, the Jar Collector''', is an antique jar collecting ghost of unknown age. Apparently, Jarvis loves jars so much, he now lives inside one. But he can hardly contain himself. Luigi first discovered Jarvis in the [[Ceramics Studio]] on the second floor of [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]]. Although Luigi did not need to capture Jarvis to save [[Mario|his brother]], the green-clad plumber could earn a [[Blue Diamond]] and two [[Gold Bar]] if he bested the portrait ghost in combat.

After entering 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 ''[[Wikipedia:Whac-A-Mole|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.
'''Jarvis, the Jar Collector''' is an antique jar-collecting [[portrait ghost]] of unknown age in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its Nintendo 3DS version]]. He is a purple ghost with only a head, a little hair, yellow eyes and big lips. Jarvis speaks in a stereotypical Scottish accent. Jarvis is said to love jars so much that it is the reason he lives inside one. His portrait number in the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]] is 12.


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 wonderful treasure, Luigi continued his search for his captured brother.
Jarvis is encountered in the [[Ceramics Studio]], on the third floor of [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Luigi's Mansion]]. Although [[Luigi]] does not need to capture Jarvis to save [[Mario]], he can earn a [[Blue Diamond]] and two [[Gold Bar]]s if he succeeds in capturing him. After Luigi examines the area around the far left wall, Jarvis appears from one of the jars and challenges Luigi to a ''[[Wikipedia:Whac-A-Mole|Whac-A-Mole]]''-style game. If Luigi can hit Jarvis with blasts of ice seven times as he warps to different jars around the room, the ghost allows Luigi to fight him. If Luigi fails to hit Jarvis seven times, he gets teleported outside of the [[Armory (Luigi's Mansion)|Armory]]. Angered by losing the game, Jarvis levitates ceramic jars and tosses them at Luigi, dealing five HP damage for every hit. Luigi can counter by sucking up Jarvis with the [[Poltergust 3000]], while trying to not hit the floating jars, otherwise Jarvis will escape the Poltergust's pull.

*Jarvis is the only non-boss portrait ghost whose heart can not be checked at all. If the player tries to scan his heart, nothing occurs. This does not happen in the 3DS version, as Jarvis has a heart quote.
 
*In the Japanese version, the description for Jarvis notes that it is a mystery what he uses for a toilet.
