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. 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). Items will be sucked in as well, and will not be shot out at the end of the move. If no opponents are caught, the Final Smash will fail. If used in midair, Luigi will 'bounce' upwards once the move ends.

Origin

The Poltergust 5000 in Dark Moon

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. Poltergust 5000 is Luigi's weapon for the entire game, constantly gaining upgrades as Luigi collects money throughout the game.
