Types of pearls[]
Small[]
Small pearls are the easiest pearls for Luigi to get, and are the ones with the lowest value. A small pearl is worth 50,000G, half as much as a Gold Bar. A small pearl is awarded for every ten HP sucked up within one turn. Getting only small pearls from a ghost results in a bronze frame.
Medium[]
Medium pearls are averagely given to Luigi. A medium pearl is worth 100,000G. A medium pearl is awarded if Luigi sucked up fifty HP in one turn, then by sucking up every ten HP after that. If Luigi obtains medium-sized pearls, he will obtain a silver frame on the portrait of the ghost.
Large[]
Large pearls are worth 1,000,000G. A big pearl is awarded if the green-hatted plumber sucked up ninety HP within one turn. If Luigi collects a large pearl, he will get a golden portrait frame.
