Hint: Move map:
Press A on the map screen to zoom in. Then, use the C-stick to scroll around the floor that you are on.

Hint: Treasure rooms:
Go to the southwest corner of the on the mansion's first floor. Vacuum the butler that carries a candle. Look at the room with the Game Boy Horror to find a mouse hole. Press A to examine the mouse hole and enter a hidden treasure room.

Take the elevator in the toy chamber up to get on the chimney in the mansion's roof. Fall off to land in a hidden treasure room.

After you defeat the three clock soldiers, the Shyguys, and the Ice Element ghost, pick up the key that is in the top of the left ladder tower. Do not go back downstairs after you get i. Instead, go to the top right ladder tower with the hole at the top. Walk the plank that is above it and drop down. You will learn that it is really a chimney in the room where the door is boarded up. This is the only way to get into this location, which is a treasure room. The first treasure chest you open will contain a ghost. There are not that many, and you do not need a special element to defeat them. Defeat the ghost and open all the treasure chests. You will also get a key to another room. Exit through the mirror transport.

Hint: Finding Boos:
You can capture the fifty Boos that were let go at the start of the game to get a large diamond. To do this, use the Game Boy Horror in Boo sensor mode. Boos tend to hide in rooms with lights. Search all locations within such rooms. A blue Boo sensor light indicates that there is no Boo present. A yellow Boo sensor light indicates that a Boo, Booball, or Bomb is near. A red Boo sensor light indicates you are directly next to a Boo, Booball, or Bomb. Get the Boo sensor to be red, then turn on the vacuum or press A to examine the target object. If Booball appears, leave it alone to send it at a wall. Run away if a bomb appears.

Hint: Capturing Boos:
To capture a Boo easier, all you need is an Ice element. When you use an Ice element on a Boo, it will momentarily hesitate to move. This gives you a chance to use your Poltergust 3000 on them.

Hint: Boos types:
There are four types of Boos: white, blue, red, and black with a yellow outline.

Hint: Defeating Boolousus:
When you get a chance, try to locate one of the frozen unicorns at one of the end of the balcony. While he's chasing you, just run circles around the unicorn. He will eventually run into the spike and pop on his own. Be careful -- once the Boos are separated, you have to watch your back. They will run up behind you if you are not looking at them.

Hint: Defeating Chauncey:
After you defeat the Neville and Lydia, you get to Chauncey (the baby). You have to defeat him two times. The first time, you have to pick up the ball with the Poultergust 3000, aim, and press L to fire. Hit her and she will blab about her owee. You become small and she will be very big. She will throw rocking horses and balls. When all the balls are done bouncing, one will be stationary. Pick it up, aim, and shoot it at her.

Hint: Defeating Lydia:
Use the following trick to capture Lydia. After you defeat the Neville, he will give you a key. Go to the room at the end of the hall. Enter and a girl ghost will be there, setting her hair. Go to the window go in front of the curtain to the right. Stand facing to the right then vacuum with the Poultergust 3000. It will move to the right and the ghost will walk to the window saying "Oh what a draft". Use this chance to vacuum her up.

Hint: Defeating: Mr. Luggs:
Use our Fire element to light the two candles. Suck up his food with the vacuum. Ghosts will appear and serve him -- vacuum them up. When the food is gone, he will shoot fireballs at you. Dodge them and when he starts panting, vacuum him up.

Hint: Defeating Neville:
To capture Neville, go over to the bookcase and vacuum with the Poultergust 3000. Books will fly out and he will go over to fix them. Use this opportunity to flash the light and vacuum him in. You still have to vacuum in 100 heart power. If you fail the first time, he will still not regain health. Repeat this a few times to vacuum him in.

Hint: Finding Henry And Orville:
After the twins tell you to hide and you reenter, vacuum the boxes. If the box shakes, open it.

Hint: King Boo:
When you finally make it to King Boo, you will have to walk very close to start him talking. Instead, go directly to the right. You will see two vase-like objects with purple flames coming out of them. Hit them (to check inside) to find a gold bat in one and a lot of coins in the other.

Hint: Vacuuming ghosts and Boos:
If you can barely catch a Ghost while vacuuming, or just want a faster way to do so, quickly rotate the C-stick. This is easier for those who do not have too great of a time holding the C-stick in the opposite direction of the Ghost, as each rotation will land at least one heart off the ghosts.

When you have one of those Ghosts in your reach, you have to go through the difficulty of rotating the C-stick, which can be troublesome. To avoid this, when you find and consume those scattering spirits, try staying in a corner of the room. , and stay in that corner. See, that gives them only so much room to escape. When you are in a corner, it minimizes their rotation to only 90 degrees, eliminating 75% of the struggle.

When vacuuming ghosts, instead of just holding the Analog-sticks in the opposite direction of the ghost(s), repeatedly tap them in the opposite direction. The ghost's hearts will drop a lot faster.

Use the Analog-stick and C-stick to aim at a Boo. Once its HP begins to drop, stop using the C-stick and use only the Analog-stick to follow the Boo around the room. Luigi will automatically change direction according to the Boo's movement. The closer you are to the Boo, the faster its HP will drop. However, if you touch the Boo, you will get hurt and the Boo will escape the vacuum. If the Boo escapes through a wall, check your map to see which room it has escaped to. Go to that room as quickly as possible.

Hint: Throwing Element balls:
First, get an Element. Start to shoot the Element, and when you see the Element to start to flow out of your Poltergust 3000, press L again. An Element ball should shoot out of it.
