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.
- In the boss room Luigi cannot get in, so the Luigi player waits outside.
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.
- Gooigi fights this floor's boss alone.
If your skill levels differ: This boss is fought by Gooigi alone and cannot be lost, since a hit just sends Gooigi back. The newer player can take it. How to split the roles
The mall cop
Part 1 of 1. Corner the security ghost in the Lost and Found.
- GooigiSend Gooigi through the bars after him; Luigi cannot follow.
- GooigiHis sunglasses block the flash: vacuum them off first, then stun him and drain him.
Where people tend to fall
- His squirt gun melts Gooigi in one hit; move between shots. Each time he gets away he finds something new to cover his eyes.
Boss
KrullerThe security guard ghost
- The fight: Pull off the eye cover, flash, vacuum; repeat while dodging the water. Winning gives the Mezzanine button.
Achievements and extras
- Six gems are hidden on this floor, and a Boo turns up here once you have the floor's elevator button and come back later.
