What each player can do here

P1 · Luigi
  • Luigi holds the Poltergust G-00 and the flashlight: stun ghosts with the Strobulb, then vacuum and slam them. The run only ends if Luigi runs out of health.
P2 · Gooigi
  • Gooigi walks over spikes and slips through bars and tight spaces that stop Luigi. Water and fire empty his health at once and send him back to Luigi.
  • This floor leans on Gooigi: he crosses the spikes and walks through the arrows to pull the ropes that make the way safe for Luigi.

If your skill levels differ: Losing health is never game over for Gooigi; the run only ends when Luigi runs out. So the newer player usually takes Gooigi and the steadier player takes Luigi. How to split the roles

Through the castle

Part 1 of 2. Get past the spikes, the archers and the dungeon to the arena.

  1. GooigiAt each spike field, Gooigi walks across and vacuums the rope or ball-and-cord on the far side, which lowers the spikes or opens the gate for Luigi.
  2. GooigiPast the crossbow archers, Gooigi goes first because the arrows cannot hurt him, then pulls the cord that drops a cover over them so Luigi can follow.
  3. BothWhen Luigi is locked in a cell with the walls closing in, Gooigi squeezes through the bars, catches the ghosts that jump him and pulls the rope that opens the door.
  4. BothAt the cage lift, the fan on the wall moves the lift: one of you rides it while the other turns the fan with the vacuum to raise or lower it.

Where people tend to fall

  • The spiked walls keep closing in on Luigi, so the Gooigi player needs to clear the ghosts fast.

The joust

Part 2 of 2. Beat the ghost king in the arena.

  1. BothHe rides laps while the towers fire arrows, then charges. Flash him with the Strobulb as he comes at you.
  2. BothWhile he is stunned, plunger his armour with the Suction Shot and slam it; it takes nine slams in total, up to three per opening.
  3. BothWithout his armour he fights on foot with sword and shield; dodge the spin, flash him when he drops the shield, then vacuum him.
