After approaching it, a strike of lightning emits from the tombstone, revealing Bogmire. Luigi jumps back in horror. He is transported into a mysterious arena, where a large Black Bogmire comes out and approaches him. Several others also appear in the field.
In the battle, Bogmire frequently vanishes and switches between areas. Before reappearing, Bogmire's large shadow appears on-stage, originating from his current location. Contrarily, if it disappears, it indicates Bogmire vanishing. To vacuum Bogmire, Luigi must vacuum up a Black Bogmire (regardless of size) and aim it at Bogmire. Bogmire is one of the trickier ghosts to vacuum up, because he breaks free of Luigi's grasp within a few seconds. Luigi flips backward, and Bogmire disappears in a lightning flash.
