Template:Infobox Final Smash SSB4 The Poltergust 5000 (オバキューム, Ghost Vacuum) is Luigi's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. 4, replacing Negative Zone from Brawl. It works similar to Cook Kirby, also 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, causing an additional 10% damage. Opponents caught late will receive less damage. Items will be produced as well. If no opponents are caught, the Final Smash will fail. The Final Smash is similar to Dedede Burst, possessing the ability to suck enemies in.

A ghost-sucking vacuum cleaner created by Professor E. Gadd. In Luigi's ghostly adventures, it's the only thing standing between him and complete terror. In this game, it sucks in enemies, damages them, and then fires them diagonally upward. If it's used in an area with no ceilings, you might send them soaring right off the screen!

Origin
The Poltergust 5000 debuted in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, where it was an upgrade of the Poltergust 3000 that was used in Luigi's Mansion for the Nintendo GameCube. It was found by Luigi in the Gloomy Manor inside a car. Luigi also needed to find the Strobulb and the Dark-Light to help him on his quest.
