That security guard wasn't so bad. In fact, I find him more comical than scary, and I'm sure Luigi did, too.

Yeah. He was kinda like a ghostly Paul Blart, but you didn't hear that from me. Where are they going now?

The mezzanine, I think. A new area just opened up, and where there are new areas, there are new bosses holding those elevator buttons.

And those bosses will be more intimidating the higher up he goes. Thank God he's kept his skills sharp.

C'mon, guys—you know him. No mountain or valley will keep him from getting to us.

Amen.

Hear, hear.

...

Polterpup became an energy canister once he, Gooigi and Luigi reached the mezzanine. As soon as the elevator doors opened, he bounded around the corner to a door blocked by a hazard sign. This door also had the image of a fork and spoon on it, which meant that it had to be some sort of diner or kitchen. No wonder Polterpup was excited.

After Polterpup phased through the door, Luigi used the Suction Shot to yank the sign out of his way before opening the door and stepping inside. And there was the ghost puppy, noshing on some cheese. Laughing softly, the man in green ran over to his pet and gave him a few back rubs.

"I'll give you a few doggie treats later, okay?" he said.

"Arf!" Polterpup replied before leaping into the air and phasing through another door to what appeared to be a banquet hall.

"There must be something important in there," Luigi said to Gooigi. "We'd better get a move on."

They followed Polterpup inside the banquet hall, where they were assailed by the aromas of cheese, freshly baked bread and appetizers. These foods, along with a selection of meats, seafood and dessert, were arranged on a long table. Near that long table were several small tables, where a handful of Goobs were seated.

After picking up a breadstick, Polterpup happily trotted toward the kitchen. Turning off their flashlights, Luigi and Gooigi flattened themselves against the long table, attempting to sneak past the Goobs. Unfortunately, Luigi accidentally knocked over a bottle of olive oil, which shattered into pieces on the floor.

The man in green spat out a curse as the Goobs whirled around, arming themselves with breadsticks and cream puffs. One Goob let out a whistle, summoning more Goobs. Quickly, they surrounded Luigi and Gooigi.

"Well, here goes," said Luigi, charging up his Strobulb. Gooigi followed suit.

Together, they released the flash, stunning some nearby Goobs. Then, the duo began vacuuming them up, slamming them into other Goobs and several tables. They fought valiantly, but these Goobs were getting smarter, continuing to surround them in a pincer move. Before they could be overrun, however, Luigi remembered that burst of air, and he began utilizing it for some crowd control. Gooigi did so, as well, and it wasn't long before they gained the upper hand over the Goobs.
