Whoa! Luigi has the Super Suction now?! Now that he can vacuum up everything in his path, he'd practically unstoppable! King Boo and Hellen had better beware!
That's right! And now he can do away with that ship's hull blocking that restaurant, get inside and save you from that ghost pirate shark!
Eh—he's not too bad. He's spent some time telling me stories about his adventures and teaching me old sea shanties. But he's still starting to weird me out. Speaking of which, where are you two?
In Hellen's penthouse. You should see her, pitching a fit as Luigi keeps cutting through every boss ghost in his way. Apparently, she's late to the party—no ghost can ever trump a brother's loyalty!
You got that right! Oooh—I can't wait to watch Luigi knock this rhymes-with-witch off her paranormal high-horse!
In due time, Peachy. In due time.
...
Back on the 12th floor, Luigi purposefully strode towards the ship's hull, Polterpup at his side and Gooigi bringing up the rear. He quickly spotted a socket similar to the one in the Great Stage's auditorium against a nearby wall and walked straight up to it. There was that blinding flash, and then that electrical current snaked out and attached itself to the Poltergust, the vacuum purring with energy as euphoric sparks sizzled down Luigi's veins.
Luigi threw back his head and shouted as he let the Super Suction rip, tearing away at the obstacle before him. In seconds, the ship was obliterated, revealing the porthole-shaped entrance to the restaurant. The socket powered down, and Luigi laughed softly as he and his companions stepped inside the Spectral Catch.
"Are you having fun with that?" asked Gooigi.
"You'd better believe it," replied Luigi.
They took a moment to contemplate the scene before them. The Spectral Catch definitely had a pirate theme, as it was built to resemble a secret cave where the swashbuckling scourges of maritime history would stash their plunder. Barrels stood in for tables, stools stood in for chairs, they could see a treasure chest or two, and a couple of waterfalls cascaded down, permeating the restaurant with the smell of the sea.
"Wow," breathed Luigi.
"Way cool," Gooigi joined in.
In the center of the room was a large, round table with several chairs—and the opposite wall was shaped like a giant skull, a pirate ship visible through one of its eyes. And no references to piracy would be complete without the Jolly Roger! The skull-and-crossbones motif was all over the restaurant, from hidden flags to the gems Luigi and Gooigi began to uncover. If it weren't for the fact that there were ghosts hiding about, and that the entire place was a trap, then Luigi would've paid a fair amount of money to eat here!
As they further explored the area, Luigi and Gooigi saw the skeleton's jaws slowly and ominously slide open, revealing another door.
"This looks like the bar area," said Luigi, "so I'm guessing the actual restaurant is through that door."
Gooigi nodded, and the pair cautiously pushed open the door—and stared in amazement.
