A green gooey mass inside the Poltergust G-00 is not his "main" form (at least, not the form from which his name is derived), but it's still him (and indeed, it is a form he would likely be in for most of the single-player mode of the game in which this Poltergust is later used), not inside of any other character or anything, but rather visibly him. The only potential argument against I can think of would have been that because the appearance in Smash predated much of our information about {{s|mariowiki|Luigi's Mansion 3}}, we didn't initially know that it was Gooigi there, but by now we can say it clearly is him. Maybe there are some better counterexamples that would demonstrate why including a character seen in an identifiable and distinct yet somewhat nonstandard-for-them form would be a slippery slope, but those examples I've seen are quite unsatisfying. I think we all want this wiki to be as comprehensive about the details of Smash, and I think this is a reasonable inclusion to that end. I hope this is convincing to people, or if not, that some discussion can bring about a resolution on this.

:Since I had to zoom in a lot on the Poltergust to discern whether it was a single green object or a green something behind glass, I wouldn't say it is clear at least to someone who doesn't know about Gooigi (there is a thin layer of glass by the way). This isn't helped by it always filling the entire thing and not allowing for air pockets or liquid physics (like with Inkling's Ink Tank) to help clarify that it isn't a solid chunk of plastic or whatever. I'll admit that a character that can only be implied (like the ones I mentioned in my summary) are a stretch. However, there is one character that I think is a better fit for this: Madama Butterfly. She is always present in Bayonetta's shadow, which is why her shadow has butterfly wings. If others think that Gooigi should be mentioned, then Madama Butterfly should get a mention as Bayo's shadow along with her being in the smash attacks. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 17:38, October 26, 2022 (EDT) | |||
