Kirby, however, stumbles across a chest which reads "[[List of implied characters#Van Helsing|Van Helsing]]", the name of the man who defeated [[Dracula|Count Dracula]]. The three friends open the chest and find a number of weapons inside, such as a rapier and a crossbow. There are also clothing and some test tubes inside. Soon they realize that they can use all these items to defeat the monsters, and try out the clothing and the weapons. Kirby also tries the red serum in the test tube, followed by Mario and Link, and immediately their appearance changes and they turn into aggressive ghostbusters with special weapons and abilities: Mario gets a whip, Link a firesword, and Kirby the ability to [[Kirby#Inhale|inhale]] his enemies and to burn them with his fire breath. | ||

*While Mario is wearing Van Helsing's clothes, he uses a whip for a weapon.
