Mr. Luggs, the Glutton, is a thirty-year-old portrait ghost in Luigi's Mansion and its Nintendo 3DS remake. Mr. Luggs is an obese ghost, and as stated in his bio he even ate himself to death (the PAL bio was changed to say that Mr. Luggs "ate until he died"). However, even in death, Luggs is not satisfied, and spends his afterlife eating food in the Dining Room of Luigi's Mansion. Visually, Mr. Luggs may be a reference to Mr Creosote from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, who was also an incredibly obese man who literally ate himself to death.
History[edit]
Luigi's Mansion[edit]
Mr. Luggs is the first optional portrait ghost of Luigi's Mansion. If Luigi chooses to capture Mr. Luggs, he uses a Fire Elemental Ghost to light the candles on the table. After lighting all the candles, Mr. Luggs and his dinner become visible. To make Mr. Luggs vulnerable, Luigi needs to suck up Mr. Luggs' food with his Poltergust 3000. Two Waiters attempt to resupply Mr. Luggs with more food. Once they are sucked in, his meal can not be refilled. Mr. Luggs becomes enraged and attacks Luigi by spewing fifteen fireballs at him. Each fireball deals ten HP of damage and briefly lights Luigi on fire. After spewing fifteen fireballs, Mr. Luggs quickly tires out, rendering him vulnerable to the Poltergust. If Luigi does not capture Mr. Luggs in time, Mr. Luggs gets back up and breathes five more fireballs before tiring again. Once Mr. Luggs is captured, the lights turn on, revealing a green treasure chest. Later on, in the Gallery, Mr. Luggs' portrait number is 11.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
Mr. Luggs appears in volume 29 of Super Mario-kun in the Luigi's Mansion arc and serves as a spoiled man. When Luigi and Toad encounter him, he orders them to give him food. Luigi does and almost gives Toad to him, but does not due to Toad dismaying. Luigi and Toad give Mr. Luggs all the food they have, even Mario's hat, but Mr. Luggs still is not satisfied. Luigi gets annoyed and sucks Mr. Luggs up.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]
In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mr. Luggs' silver frame appears on the walls of the Luigi's Mansion battle course. This was removed when the course returned as a classic course in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
General information[edit]
Physical appearance[edit]
Mr. Luggs has deep purple skin, small yellow eyes, a patch of blue-gray hair, and an extra-wide, slobbery mouth covered in what can only be slops from his last meal. He wears a dark red sweater around his balloon-like body, and has a dirty napkin tied around his neck. Some of Mr. Luggs' frames show him with a knife and fork, even though he eats with his hands when he is not captured.
Personality[edit]
In Mr. Luggs' description, it is stated that he prefers buffets over three meals a day. His actions show that he is a sloppy eater with an insatiable appetite, and he does not like anyone interrupting his meal. This is shown when the player vacuums up the meal on the plate, as he will get angry and attack them.

Trivia[edit]
- Mr. Luggs' appearance (particularly his face shape), along with his gluttony and lack of table manners, may be a nod to Jabba the Hutt from Return of the Jedi.
- Gobbers in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon are similar to Mr. Luggs as they are both significantly overweight and use projectile attacks. Additionally, in the ScareScraper, if a Gobber appears, two Greenies holding food appear alongside it, similar to the two Waiters giving food to Mr. Luggs.
- If Luigi captures a ghost in the hallway in front of dining room, sometimes Mr. Luggs' voice can be heard from the other side. This can only be triggered if the player has not unlocked the door to his room or if he is not captured yet.
