Poltergust G-00: Difference between revisions

{{item-infobox

The '''Poltergust G-00''' is the newest [[Poltergust]] model used by [[Luigi]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Its name appears to be a pun on "goo," referring to [[Gooigi]].

The Poltergust G-00 was teased in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''{{'}}s August 8 Nintendo Direct, specifically in [[Simon Belmont]] and [[Richter Belmont]]'s reveal trailer, where Luigi was shown using its Strobulb and [[Suction Shot]]. Luigi uses the Suction Shot's plungers in an attempt to ward off a mummy horde in Dracula's Castle, but his efforts fail.

The Poltergust G-00 debuts in a ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise game with its appearance in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', being used by Luigi. The Poltergust G-00 uses the [[Strobulb]] equipment from previous [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'']] games, the [[Dark-Light Device]] from ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', and has the aforementioned ability to fire grabable toilet plungers with the [[Suction Shot]]. With the [[Burst]] function, the Poltergust G-00 creates a shockwave that can blow away enemies, and allow Luigi to jump with it. Similarly to what it does as Luigi's forward and back throws in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the Poltergust G-00 can slam ghosts on the ground or into each other. The glass cylinder in the back also serves as a storage tank for Gooigi. The Power Gauge is retained, but instead of a level-type gauge, the gauge is in a circular form, and if the player presses {{button|ns|A}} when the gauge is fully charged, the Slam function can be carried out. The Slam is a new function that slams ghosts to the ground to lower their HP. If there is another ghost in close vicinity to the ghost being slammed, and if that ghost gets hit, the ghost's HP will lower.
