Trivia

• Poltergust 5000 is the only spirit in the event not to debut on the GameCube, but rather the 3DS. However, it shares its Japanese name with all Poltergust revisions, including the eligible Poltergust 3000.
  • Similarly, though the concept of Telly debuted on the GameCube alongside Chibi-Robo, the incarnation of Telly portrayed in his spirit comes from Chibi-Robo: Zip Lash, which released for the 3DS.
