Purple Bombers are a variant of Ceiling Surprises and one of the ghosts that appear in Luigi's Mansion and its Nintendo 3DS version.
In Luigi's Mansion[]
The main difference that Purple Bombers have from Ceiling Surprises is that they can drop bombs, and Purple Bombers are also darker purple in color. Like Ceiling Surprises, Purple Bombers have zero Heart Points, so it takes little effort from Luigi to vacuum one up into his Poltergust 3000. Unlike Ceiling Surprises, Purple Bombers do not always release a heart upon being sucked into the Poltergust 3000.
Trivia[]
- The bombs thrown by a Purple Bomber can be extinguished with water before exploding.
