The Poltergust 3000 is a vacuum used by [[Luigi]] to hunt down ghosts in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. To suck up ghosts, Luigi first has to find their weakness (which usually involves his [[flashlight]] in some way) and exploit it. Once the ghost is open, Luigi needs to bring its health down to 0 before it can be sucked into the Poltergust and defeated. By sucking up [[Elemental Ghost|certain ghosts]] (which can be found after collecting specific [[Elemental Medal]]s), the Poltergust gains the ability to harness the elements of fire, ice, and water to fight certain ghosts and solve puzzles. | The Poltergust 3000 is a vacuum used by [[Luigi]] to hunt down ghosts in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.
