Vincent Van Gore, the Starving Artist (うれないがか セニョール・プジイ Urenai Gaka Senyōsu Pujī?) is a Portrait Ghost found in The Artist's Studio in Area Four of the mansion in Luigi's Mansion and its Nintendo 3DS version. He is a talented artist and can cause whatever he draws come to life on a whim. When Luigi enters, Vincent complains about how his creations were vacuumed up by the Poltergust 3000, which reveals the culprit behind releasing all the ghosts, except the portrait ghosts, throughout the mansion to be him. He then challenges Luigi to a battle.
Vincent starts off by releasing seven different sets of ghosts, where there is three in each set. These ghosts float out of paintings he has set up in the studio. Luigi must defeat one set before moving onto the next one. After Luigi has sucked up the twenty-one ghosts, Vincent expresses his sadness and makes his core vulnerable, so you can capture and suck him up. After sucking him up, you receive the Secret Altar Key. After his defeat, no more minor ghosts appear throughout the mansion.
The ghosts Vincent releases from the paintings during his fight, in order, are: Gold Ghosts, Purple Punchers, Blue Twirlers, Red Grabbing Ghosts, Red Ghost Guys, Garbage Can Ghosts, and lastly Purple Bombers.
