It would have been funny if you did up the Luigi uniform like this:
Then add the patches from this:
Of course, you keep the normal Luigi hat and Stach with the proper GB-related stuff (pads and belt) and BAM! Interesting GB Luigi costume.
Oh god. Haha. Yeah I don’t think I’ll mix the movie suit in. I already have a khaki suit I wanna use. I’ll be posting in the uniform section to with a GB Luigi v2 topic to show my progress. Its almost done. The vacuum is the biggest thing to finish.
Seeing this post made me go out and buy the game today. I never had a Gamecube but I do have a Wii and I have played this game once before at my brother’s. I also picked up Super Mario Sunshine which I never played.
Did you ever post this Vector file? A friend of mine and I are making Luigi’s Mansion inspired costumes and we’re going to need a good overlay for the Gameboy Colors. Thanks!
My friend and I are making Luigi’s Mansion inspired costumes, too. We got our poltergusts finished yesterday! 
We wanted to get the Eureka Maxima vaccums like christphern’s, but they seem to have been recently discontinued. At least WalMart no longer sells them. They had them as display models, but were actually selling these Rally 2’s instead:
We weren’t happy with this at first, but we eventually broke down and bought them anyway and in the end were pleased with the results.
I’ve got to work on my Luigi face a bit more.
Funny you should mention this
It’s one of my favorite costumes, aside from Ghostbusters, of course.
Those look pretty nice, gboy. 
Are you Mario Mario or Luigi Mario?
They do look pretty good, Gboy. My only recommendation would be for your Luigi to purchase a rainbow luggage strap. It’s almost definitely what was used on the Luigi costume, and makes a world of difference with the color scheme, I think. They also expand up to 76", I believe, which would be enough to bind the Koopa cousins (I always thought they linked two belts, before) And they’re cheap to boot.
That’s my Luigi costume. Still need to dye my tool pouch, which I think is a near perfect match, other than the removal of the tape-measure holster (replaced with a second hammer holster) and the logo is printed on. However, the company used to make their pouches with a branded leather disc stitched to the surface (still do on some pouches), which was the right shape and size as the one on Luigi’s. Also lacks my Poltergust.
@BSjohnson: I’m Mario Mario and Luigi Mario is my real younger brother.
@christphern: I found 2" rainbow strap at walmart that can be used for the belt, but my brother wouldn’t wear the costume if I used the rainbow belt. So if you bought the strap you can easily go 76" or more. What pouch did you use?
Here’s mine:
It’s very close to the original except for the logo and I didn’t have to modify anything except for the coloring.
Mine looks pretty much exactly like that (minus the coloring, obviously), however, it’s made from canvas, with leather piping, which would make it much more dye friendly (as well as give it the weight and look of the one in the movie). The only differences, as I mentioned, are the logo emblem, and the tape measure pouch. I’ll get some good pics uploaded later tonight when I get a chance. If I get the spare coin (snerk), I’ll see about getting a tape measure pouch added, in place of the second hammer holster (I’ve got some friends that do amazing things with leather). I’ll also drop it in dye when I get the chance, and convert it properly.
I’m fairly sure the one in the film is either canvas or nylon, but I can’t find any nylon pouches that look anywhere near the one in the film. The best part of the one I have, though, is it’s readily available at Lowes, and is near perfect. Cost about $10.
Won’t wear the outfit with the rainbow belt? Aw man. I actually kind of like it, funny enough.
By the way, for anyone wanting to go with the type of suit I’ve got, blue flightsuits are equal parts expensive and hard to find. I wouldn’t recommend them, off hand, unless G&B happens to have your size on clearance. That’s the only reasonably affordable option I was able to find, at about $80 shipped for the poly/cotton blend. After that, it was cheap polyester NASA costumes at $100+shipping a pop.
BAH! You tell him that it’s part of the costume!
I know, right? lol Tell him to suck it up! 
El-lo, there!
Just wanted to say “Aloha”, and let you all know I’m also a “Luigi Boo-Buster” !
As a matter of fact, I do have the cosplay, as well now the newly built Poltergust 3000 in my arsenal!
Like Christphern, I was so fortunate to obtain an Eureka Maxima canister vac (Canary Yellow too!) to build my P3000… and wot results! It was a long and somewhat difficult search, always looking for a bargain, like a well used one at a reduced price, and it paid off… a demo model in a department store that was $47.99 (retail price was $80.99)… I got it for $23 buckaroos! YESSS!
Quite small and compact, but still alittle bit heavy to be strapped onto one’s back, so of course, gut the poor thing… WAH! But I’d done it in a direct yet, loving way, and the proceedure went without a hitch. The vac motor was fairly in prime condition and still smelled new, so I may re-sell it on Ebay to differ the costs more… perhaps to purchase pieces/ parts for my Proton pack that is in the state of non exsistance… dang it! the only snag of it all was the hose attachments were missing, so I was fortunate to obtain replacements from a vac repairman in the area. cleaned it up, then spray pained it from Canary Yellow, to Righteous Red, spraying several coats to make it rather scratch ressistance, as well painting up the rear wheels metallic Chrome, instead of white (thought I’d “pimp it up” abit… lol). Resulting in a nice replica to the video game pack. I called my pack “The Ferrari of P3000s”! Bolted on four metal loops on the corners top and bottom, the sewed on a cushioned pair of old schoolbag straps… coolness! It still needs tweeking, but it is 95% done, got to shorten down the plastic tubing for the “Ghost sucker”, and then pop on a battery powered flashing green indicator light in the back. I got to debut the pack with me mates, the GB Hawai’i Chapter at the re-release of the iconic 80’s Spook-comedy GHOSTBUSTERS showing at the theaters the last night on thursday, October 27th. Wa-hoo! Luigi meets the GhostBusters!
So this Halloween, watch out boos an’ spooks… BOO-BUSTIN’ LUIGI and the GHOSTBUSTERS ARE COMIN’!
Gosh… my first post, and I see alot of flub-ups and typos!
Oh, well… as long you all are OK with that, and got at least an idea of what I was jabberin’ about!
And oh yeah… I was able to find my old original GAMEBOY that i can use as the GAMEBOY HORROR… yaz!
Kinda sad though, it no longer works because did a really bad thing: forgot to take the batteries out, had it stored and… well… you get the idea… again…
El-lo, there! Hope everyone’s Halloween was good, fun an’ scary!
So here’s my almost complete Poltergust 3000, still needs tweeking ( the plastic tubing for the hose is too long, may have to cut it to size, and the straps’ metal mounts need to be covered/ cleaned up abit to look sharp). The “Ghost sucker” attachment is not accurate, will be changing that out with a custom handmade version to the video game one… we’re here to catch ghosts… not dust bunnies!
Here she is… all painted up and prepped to go do some BOO BUSTIN’! Started off Canary Yellow, then painted righteous Red, which I like to call Ferrari Red, because intead of plain white or silver, I painted the back wheel hubcaps Metallic chrome, giving the pack that “Sports car appeal”! Again, the hose tube needs to be trimmed down, or it would really look like a vaccum! (well… it is, of course…lol…)
**It took some tinkering, but I’ve devised a way without cutting into the casing/ shell of the vac by bolting on four large looped picture mounts on the top and bottom sides, I’d rather drill small holes than slicing big gaps into it, drilled holes are easier to cover up if a redo is needed, and saves me from grimacing so much if I had to I make several reluctant cuts into it… ACK! **
The upper mounts: Not bad, but needs to be cleaned up by covering the exposed unpainted metal loops with bands of the straps, and touch up the mounts attached to the shell with black paint. For comfort and air circulation for those long outings, as like for the GB proton pack, I’ll install foam cushion tubing in the back, and maybe something like a small ALICE frame to prop the P 3000 up alittle more… but other than that, Ay, itsa good!
And here’s the lower mounts… I was worried that the screws and metal mount plating would be too thick to fit in between the wheels and the pack, but they just made it… whew! One boo-boo: forgot to paint the opposite insides of the rear wheels and the metal mounts themselves, but they’re not too noticable, though I will sometime later… I’m having too much fun wearing the pack right now! 
**The pack in its’ former state, before the transformation. Pretty Canary Yellow, but Red is the correct color… more agressive, and cool! **
**Ay! Itsa me with my P 3000, and the GhostBusters Hawai’i Chapter ( my pizanos!) at the re-release of the iconic 80’s Spook comedy GHOSTBUSTERS in the Ward theaters outside of Waikiki… GB & BB IN THA HOUSE!
ONE NOTICE: Holy Cannoli! Look very carefully at this photoshot: there maybe a translucent visitor in attendance! Hint: “Follow thee bouncin’ ball”…**
I’m really jacked about this costume/ cosplay, having the** Poltergust 3000** built and my Luigi cos ready up… because of the soon release of LUIGI’S MANSION 2 that will be in 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS! Didn’t get all the entire lowdown, but it was said to be in January of next year the release date. With that said, I will be doing a showing at one or two of the Gamestops in Honolulu as Luigi with the Poltrgust 3000… the thing is… it’s the same type of game, but a newer, updated version, so… I might redesign/ rework the** Poltergust 3000**, converting it into the Poltergust 5000, with the updated look, such as the bright green light indicator, cooling air vents, and small console on the back of the pack. The “ghost sucker” now has a red LED mounted on it, and a pistol-like hand guard… errr… I’m tempted to now look for another canister vac that resmbles the newer one in the game… not only to be accurate, but to own two packs… the Poltergust 3000, and the Poltergust 5000!
We’ll see how it goes!
Here’s Luigi sporting the newer, updated and redesigned “Boo-pack”: the Poltergust 5000. A more powerful, and more high-tech-looking ghost catcher, with some new additions/ options that maybe revealed later… time to make another Boo-buster! :sigh:
I like that there’s a Ghost in this picture…
I was wondering if you were gonna post that pic. I have a couple of great ones with you, Frank and I think Gordon. I really need to get off my ass and put those in the GbHD Facebook album. -_-’
everyone looks great…except for the guy with the Rubies costume, i mean come on its a rubies COSTUME not a uniform
DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE A WINNER!
Thanks, Lewis! I thought on this kind of website, there might be an Egon or some other Paranormal Ecto chaser who would notice that!
Aye, just about like everywhere else, here in Hawai’i has it’s share of spooks running around… this one happen to be what I would classify as a “Cinema spirit”… a “Theater ghost”, alittle sprite that once was a wondering entity on an old building site before the theaters were built over that one lot. it seems to have taken a liking to movie viewing… no wonder some people said they felt something weird while watching GHOSTBUSTERS! :shock:
The way it is nestling on one of my mates shoulders, I prefer to see it as our own SLIMER! 8)
@Ryusui: Aloha, mate!
Nice to see another Islander from Hawai’i on the forums, here! Mahalo! 
Hmmm? You noticed that? Who would that be?
