“Hey, it's a funny man. Should I play with him?”
Nana, Text from searching her heart.

Nana, the Scarf-Knitting Granny (Japanese: ババーラ Babāra) is one of the Portrait Ghosts that is encountered in Luigi's Mansion. She resides at the aptly-named Nana's Room, located at the third area of the mansion.

Story[edit | edit source]

When Luigi enters the room, he sees Nana knitting a scarf; he then knocks her nearby yarn balls onto the floor, thus provoking her into floating around the room on her rocking chair. Luigi must suck up the three yarn balls and hit Nana with them to expose her heart to attack, all the while avoiding her needle eye beams. If Luigi misses when trying to hit Nana with the yarn, she cackles and disappears. The only way to make her appear is to exit the room and enter again. She tries to escape with medium pulls but she is unable to defeat Luigi.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Nana at age 76 is the oldest portrait ghost with a given age in Luigi's Mansion.
  • In Nana's diary near the bookshelf, it is written that she once played a prank on Miss Petunia by putting ice in the bathtub she was in. This is a clue to defeating Petunia, as Luigi can later use ice to weaken her.
  • Nana's name suggests that she is a grandmother, possibly to Henry and Orville, as she owns the key to their room.
  • Curiously, both Neville and Nana are in the second floor (implying that she belongs to the "2F family"), have names beginning with 'N' and use rocking chairs.
  • Nana and Slim Bankshot are the only portrait ghosts with a sepia portrait in one of the frames.
