What each player can do here
- 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.
- Luigi runs the cameras on the sets.
- 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 is the actor: whatever he does in front of a camera happens in the film.
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
On set
Part 1 of 3. Find the director's megaphone and help him film.
- BothThe director ghost holds the next button but will not work without his missing megaphone; explore the four sets to find it.
- BothOn each set, put Gooigi in front of the camera and have Luigi roll it; what Gooigi carries or does on camera carries over into the scene, which is how the set puzzles are solved.
The monster
Part 2 of 3. Beat the monster in the costume.
- BothThe boss is a ghost in a monster suit. Dodge its small fireballs and blow its big blue fireball back at it with the vacuum.
- BothThe next fireballs are green and too strong for one vacuum: Luigi and Gooigi must blow on them together. On the last one, mash the button.
Ghost cat
Part 3 of 3. Chase down the cat ghost for the button.
- BothA cat ghost runs off with the button. When it changes into its big form, turn your back so it creeps up behind you, then turn and flash it.
- BothPlain suction does not hurt it; slam it until it loses a tail. It flees and you repeat the trick in other rooms and on the floor below until all three tails are gone.
Where people tend to fall
- Turn around too early and the cat goes back to its perch; wait until it is right behind you.
Boss
Morty (the monster in the suit)The film-set boss
- Blue fireball: Blow the large blue fireball back into its face.
- Green fireballs: Both players blow together to push the green fireball back; mash at the end.
PolterkittyThe ghost cat
- Each round: Turn away, flash when it rears up behind you, then slam it until a tail comes off. Three tails in all.
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.
