How to Beat Jack-goo-lantern

Use Your Power Surges Strategically

Using any level Power Surge will result in the Jack-goo-lantern flinging a Creeper at the Luigi that did it, instantly trapping them. Strategize and time your Power Surges correctly or you'll end up wasting time trying to escape Creepers.

Jack-goo-lanterns are the same as the Primordial Goo as they can also summon Creepers and trap you.

Mind Your Footing

Try not to get too close to it as it will trap you inside, beat you up, and suffocate you like any regular Creeper. Mind where you are being pulled by other Ghosts and the Jack-goo-lantern, as you can also get trapped by regular Creepers.

Try to Avoid Other Ghosts

The Jack-goo-lantern will always spawn with Sneakers and Slammers, so try to avoid them or have someone take care of them while the rest wail on the Jack-goo-lantern.

Watch Out for Puddles on the Floor

Just like regular Creepers, the Jack-goo-lantern will pop out of the floor once stepped on or revealed with your Darklight or by using your Poltergust to blow or suck it in.

How to Escape Being Trapped by the Jack-goo-lantern and Creepers

Smash the B Button to Escape

If you manage to get caught by either a Creeper or the Jack-goo-lantern, just continuously press the B Button to escape.
