The '''Purple Punchers''' are the second species of normal ghosts [[Luigi]] encounters in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. 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. In an [[list of Luigi's Mansion pre-release and unused content|earlier version of the game]], 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>
