Features[edit]
Ghost Container[edit]
The Ghost Container provides research information on all the ghosts Luigi has captured as well as showing a 3D model of each ghost. It also shows the highest W (Spectral Mass measurement) of the highlighted ghost the player has ever caught, along with the number caught. The number caught never rises above 99 no matter how many of the ghost have been caught.
The Ghost Container is similar to the Containment Unit used by theGhostbusters.
Gem Collection[edit]
The Gem Collection lets the player view all thegems they have collected throughout each mansion of the game, along with their corresponding statue if they have collected all of the crystals in the highlighted mansion.
Unlockables[edit]
The Unlockables section displays all of the upgrades Luigi received to thePoltergust 5000 and shows how much gold is needed to get to the next upgrade level.
| Upgrade | Treasure Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Power Gauge Level 2 (A-Pull Level 2 in the British English version) | 2000 G | "When vacuuming up a ghost, you'll be able to charge the Power Gauge longer, weakening the ghost even more when you press !" |
| Dark-Light Level 2 | 4000 G | "Thanks to this upgrade, the Dark-Light Device won't overheat as quickly! Pretty cool, huh?" |
| Power Gauge Level 3 (A-Pull Level 3 in the British English version) | 7000 G | "When vacuuming up a ghost, you can now charge the Power Gauge to full capacity before pressing!" |
| Dark-Light Level 3 | 10000 G | "The cooling component in the Dark-Light Device has reached its maximum efficiency now! Those ghosts can't hide from you!" |
| Super Poltergust | 20000 G | "Ta-da! The Super Poltergust! This new model will capture ghosts much faster than the old model." |
Boo Canister[edit]
The Boo Canister stores and shows all theBoos the player captured throughout each mission. It also displays the number of Boos caught altogether.
Even when the player has defeatedKing Boo, he does not appear in the Boo Canister.
Bank Vault[edit]
Seen within the Vault is a room where the treasure gained by Luigi is stored and tallied.
Release Device[edit]
Not found in the Vault itself, the Release Device is a yellow remote with a single antenna and two red buttons, one for theGhost Container and the other for theBoo Canister.
