Final Smash 	Poltergust G-00 	Wields the Poltergust G-00 to vacuum nearby opponents into it before powerfully ejecting them diagonally.

Taunts 	Standard 	Planks while saying "Pow pow!" Due to it moving Luigi forward into the z-axis and lowering his hurtbox, some attacks may actually miss him as a result. 	
Taunts 	Side 	Bashfully kicks the ground while sighing. One of the only taunts in the game to inflict damage; it deals 2% and meteor smashes opponents with high set knockback, making it a surprisingly reliable combo starter onstage, and allowing it to one-hit KO opponents offstage or hanging on edges. It is similar to the animation Luigi performs when he loses a minigame in Mario Party 2.	
Taunts 	Down/Up 	Performs five quick poses, one after the other. When switching from pose to pose he says, "Hoh, hah, hee, heh, hoo!"
*Flashes a V-Sign.
*Points both his fingers in the direction he is facing, looking frightened.
*Holds his finger under his nose, his eyes looking at the player. This pose is, in some respects, similar to his Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time artwork.
*Crouches down to the floor with his back turned to the player.
*Assumes a fearful position with his hands on his cheeks, mimicking his artwork from Luigi's Mansion.

Victory Side 	With his back to the screen and his hands on his hips, Luigi nods his head twice. Then, he turns around and makes gun motions with his fingers, saying "Bang, bang."

Victory Up/Down 	Childishly flails his arms about in the air, first towards his right side and then his left. Afterwards, now exhausted, he gasps while holding his left hand out and resting his right hand on his knee. This is similar to his "character chosen" animation in SSB and his dash attack (albeit with a different ending animation).
