The '''Poltergust 5000''' ({{ja|オバキューム|Obakyūmu}}, ''Ghost Vacuum'') is {{SSB4|Luigi}}'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', replacing [[Negative Zone]] from ''Brawl''. When Luigi uses this move, he starts by trying to trap opponents and items close to him inside the vacuum. Upon activation, Luigi will automatically sweep the vacuum's suction around him radially--a couple sweeps in front, once behind, then a few more in front--remaining in place for the move's duration, even when used in the air. If any opponents are caught in the initial pass, they receive up to 30% damage before Luigi shoots them out upward diagonally, causing an additional 10% damage and tremendous knockback. Opponents caught will receive the same amount damage regardless of the time they were sucked in (their percentages increases faster to compensate). Some types of items can be shot out at the end of the move, further damaging opponents as they travel and it is possible to pick them up afterward. Foes sent flying will potentially collide with each other (excluding [[Team Battle]]s), also causing even more damage.  If no opponents are caught, the Final Smash will fail. It can't suck in opponents behind solid walls. If used in midair, Luigi will 'bounce' upwards once the move ends.
The '''Poltergust G-00''' ({{ja|オバキューム|Obakyūmu}}, ''Ghost Vacuum''), appearing as '''Poltergust 5000''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', is [[Luigi]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', replacing [[Negative Zone]] from ''Brawl''. The Poltergust G-00 is also used in his [[grab]] in the latter game.


==Description from the Nintendo 3DS version's foldout==
==As a Final Smash==
''Vacuum up opponents, and send them flying.''
===Poltergust 5000===
In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', when performing this move, Luigi starts by trying to trap opponents and items close to him inside the vacuum. Upon activation, Luigi will automatically sweep the vacuum's suction around him radially - a couple sweeps in front, once behind, then a few more in front - remaining in place for the move's duration, even when used in the air. If any opponents are caught in the initial pass, they receive up to 30% damage before Luigi shoots them out upward diagonally, causing an additional 10% damage and tremendous knockback. Opponents caught will receive the same amount of damage regardless of the time they were sucked in (their percentages increases faster to compensate). Some types of items can be shot out at the end of the move, further damaging opponents as they travel and it is possible to pick them up afterward. Foes sent flying will potentially collide with each other (excluding [[Team Battle]]s), also causing even more damage. If neither opponents nor eligible items are caught, the Final Smash will fail. It can't suck in opponents behind solid walls. If used in midair, Luigi will bounce upwards once the move ends to aid recovery.


=={{forwiiu}} Trophy Description==
The items Luigi can shoot out include the [[Steel Diver]], [[Fire Flower]], [[Gust Bellows]], [[Ray Gun]], [[Super Scope]], [[Beam Sword]], [[Drill]], [[Fire Bar]], [[Star Rod]], [[Ore Club]], and [[Home-Run Bat]].

==As a grab==
In ''Ultimate'', the Poltergust G-00 also acts as Luigi's grab and [[grab aerial]]. It is a fairly unconventional grab aerial, as it can't be used as a [[tether recovery]]; however, unlike other grab aerials, the plungers shot by the Poltergust are projectiles that will slowly fall down after the move is used with a weak hitbox active. If his normal grab misses, the projectile will appear even on the ground, making it useful for edgeguarding.

*When Luigi uses moves that involve Poltergust G-00, his animations are not mirrored; that means he can show his back whenever he uses Poltergust G-00.
*The Poltergust G-00's suction cup is portrayed differently in Simon's reveal trailer, in actual gameplay, and in ''Luigi's Mansion 3''. The trailer shows it as a simple plunger fired from the nozzle, ''Ultimate'' portrays it with the plunger attached to the Poltergust with a string at all times, and ''Luigi's Mansion 3'' has it fired as a projectile with a knotted rope for Luigi to suck in with the vacuum itself.
*In the Latin American Spanish version of ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', the Poltergust G-00 is named as '''Succionaentes GO-1000''', but in both Spanish versions of ''Ultimate'', it's named as '''Succionaentes G0M-1L'''.

Poltergust 5000

The Poltergust G-00 (オバキューム, Ghost Vacuum), appearing as Poltergust 5000 in Super Smash Bros. 4, is Luigi's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, replacing Negative Zone from Brawl. The Poltergust G-00 is also used in his grab in the latter game.

As a Final Smash[edit]

Poltergust 5000[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. 4, when performing this move, Luigi starts by trying to trap opponents and items close to him inside the vacuum. Upon activation, Luigi will automatically sweep the vacuum's suction around him radially - a couple sweeps in front, once behind, then a few more in front - remaining in place for the move's duration, even when used in the air. If any opponents are caught in the initial pass, they receive up to 30% damage before Luigi shoots them out upward diagonally, causing an additional 10% damage and tremendous knockback. Opponents caught will receive the same amount of damage regardless of the time they were sucked in (their percentages increases faster to compensate). Some types of items can be shot out at the end of the move, further damaging opponents as they travel and it is possible to pick them up afterward. Foes sent flying will potentially collide with each other (excluding Team Battles), also causing even more damage. If neither opponents nor eligible items are caught, the Final Smash will fail. It can't suck in opponents behind solid walls. If used in midair, Luigi will bounce upwards once the move ends to aid recovery.

The items Luigi can shoot out include the Steel Diver, Fire Flower, Gust Bellows, Ray Gun, Super Scope, Beam Sword, Drill, Fire Bar, Star Rod, Ore Club, and Home-Run Bat.

Poltergust G-00[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it is renamed as it now uses the design of the Poltergust with the same name from Luigi's Mansion 3. It remains functionally identical except that there is a much longer time between the opponents being shot out.

Under certain circumstances, an opponent in the path of a careening fighter will not take any damage or knockback. Instead the knockback they would've taken is "stored" and can be "released" by taking knockback from another attack.[1]

As a grab[edit]

In Ultimate, the Poltergust G-00 also acts as Luigi's grab and grab aerial. It is a fairly unconventional grab aerial, as it can't be used as a tether recovery; however, unlike other grab aerials, the plungers shot by the Poltergust are projectiles that will slowly fall down after the move is used with a weak hitbox active. If his normal grab misses, the projectile will appear even on the ground, making it useful for edgeguarding.
