We get down to the first area and start the game walking towards the estate itself. Once you’re at the entrance, you’ll have to interact with the door to see a key mouse pop out and run across the courtyard. Chase him to get the key and start our haunted house adventure!

Gem Gloomy Manor #1

This a gem can be minted from a purple flower to the right of the door with yours strobulb – so come back for it when you’re fully prepared!

Now head to the manor and swipe left at the first door in the corridor you reach Garage. Here you can interact with vases and other objects to get coinsand also look at the old car because you will find ours there Poltergust 5000. Easy!

You can now practice vacuuming on piles of dust strewn around the room by holding down ZR. you can too grab the cloth by holding ZR and then move Luigi backwards until prompted to press A. Do it in in the back left corner of the garage, pull the sheet off the chest to get the gold key which you’ll need back in the hallway to open the central door.

Before that, use Poltergust 5000 to pull the sheet from the door on the right in the hallway. Now enter here and find yourself in Mud room. Once you get here you will find another gold key is stuck in the ceiling fan above you. Use your Poltergust to spin the fan to get it, then collect all the other treasures and return to the hallway.

Gem Gloomy Manor #2

Outside in the garden, you’ll see a ghost puppy kicking around, as well as a gem in a tree. Blink the door to enter the garden and set out to suck the gem from the tree.

Now we can continue forward to Guard Hall where you need it avoid the swords as they fall from each set of guard armor. Go through the door using the golden key we found in the Mudroom and we find ourselves in the Foyer. In this area you can find a heart in a vase behind the fish fountain. Now head to the stairs and you will be interrupted by a professor. It informs you that you need a Strobulb – that’s the green thing stuck in the chandelier above you.

To get the bulb, head to upstairs via the stairs and aim your vacuums at the fan above the light, this will lower the whole thing, so now you can jump down and grab the bulb before it rises again. Once you have the bulb attached to the Poltergust 5000, you can open doors with a green panel, stun ghosts, open safes and more.

Before going through the door at the bottom right of the stairs, go back up and use your new bulb to open the safe and get lots of coins. Now we can go ahead and get to our first proper scrap by going through the open scan door to Cloakroom. Here, communicate with the toilet jump through to the hidden shower ghost area. Once the ghost runs away in horror/embarrassment, be sure to vacuum up all the coins, use the suction on the towels, etc. to get quite a few coins out of this small room.

Once back in cloakroom the first fight starts and it’s just you and one little green ghost. This is a good time to learn about it flashing spirit to then fight them with your vacuum. Once you’ve stunned an enemy, suck it up with the Poltergust while holding the joystick in the opposite direction, tiring the ghost out and allowing you to press the big ‘A’ and smash it across the room.. Do this twice and the paranormal rail will evaporate from the door. Well done, you survived your first encounter with ghosts.

But don’t relax just yet the foyer now has a trio of ghosts at its disposalit’s a good time to practice fighting a little. Defeat these ghouls to end the level while the professor whisks you back to the safety of the bunker to learn what ghosts and treasures you’ve collected. !

Boo – Boogie Woogie

Return to this mission once you have your dark device and use it next to the car in the garage to unleash the Boogie Woogie!

Defeat all the boos by following them and draining their energy with your dark light before using your Poltergust to drain their energy.
