'''Luigi's Ghost Mansion''' is a competitive attraction [[minigame]] in ''[[Nintendo Land]]''. It is loosely based on ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. 

==Gameplay==
[[File:Luigi's Ghost Mansion.jpg|300px|thumb|A ghost tracker uses their flashlight on the Gold Ghost while another revives a fainted member.]]
The game involves up to four players, wearing costumes of [[Luigi]], [[Mario]], [[Waluigi]], and [[Wario]], respectively (as dressed in player order), each armed with a [[flashlight]], aiming to evade the [[Gold Ghost]] and use their flashlights to defeat it. The single player controls the Gold Ghost and must try to make the other players faint. If the Gold Ghost is near, a vibration is felt through the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]. Lightning also appears on occasion, making the Gold Ghost briefly visible.

When there is less than four players on the human side, then some {{iw|miiwiki|Monita}}s join in to fill in the remaining spots and support them. They only follow specific routes on the map and turn off their flashlight if a player-controlled human approaches. The Monitas cannot be defeated by the Gold Ghost player, and they can damage the Gold Ghost just like a human player. When there is only one human versus a Gold Ghost, the human player has three lives. If two humans are against the Gold Ghost, they have two lives each.

Occasionally, batteries spawn onto the map for players that have run low on batteries. The human players' batteries eventually run out as they continue to search for the Gold Ghost. Rarely, a larger, more powerful battery spawns on the stage that upgrades the flashlight the player is carrying to the Super Light. This flashlight is gold in color and has a star-shaped top. It has the ability to revive fallen players faster and deals damage to the Gold Ghost at a much faster pace. 

The Gold Ghost has an ability where it can charge up a [[magic]] meter by having the player hold {{button|wiiu|zl}} and {{button|wiiu|zr}} on the [[GamePad]]. When this meter is filled up, all the energy in the human players' flashlights run completely out of battery. However, the human players can avoid the energy-zapping portal by simply moving out of its vicinity. If a Monita is caught in the attack, they are stunned for a few seconds. Additionally, this move will destroy any batteries that are currently in play.

If the [[Mii]] dressed as the Gold Ghost wins against the Miis dressed as the humans, the message "Good night!" (the [[Game Over]] message in the ''Luigi's Mansion'' series) appears before fading to the results.

==Stages==
There are different layouts of the game depending on how many players there are. There is the Main Floor which is the starting stage of the minigame. It is a large basic mansion with many walls and awkwardly designed corridors. The Basement is unlocked second after a game has been completed on Main Floor. It is very similar to the Main Floor but the walls are replaced with large crates and it is more open for players to move freely without limits. The Research Lab is the third stage, and is set in a laboratory that has multiple conveyor belts that move in specific directions. The Storage Room is the fourth stage and features knights in armor that shake around when human players approach. The fifth stage is Monita's Rooftop. It features almost no areas for the ghost to hide in and Monitas patrolling the stage. 

[[Professor E. Gadd]] is heavily implied to be the one describing the different courses in Luigi's Ghost Mansion, as they match his manner of speaking.

|Main Floor
|"The layout of the first floor isn't too fancy, but the ghost can still sneak up behind you real quick-like! Look lively, youngsters!"
|-
|The Basement
|"I used to store my inventions on this floor, but then the ghosts started using it as their rumpus room. The layout is pretty disorganized, so watch out!"
|-
|Research Lab
|"This here laboratory is where I do my paranormal-research stuff! I reckon the ghosts will be able to fly right over the conveyor belts."
|-
|The Storage Room
|"Criminy! That suit of armor must be haunted, 'cause it rumbles when it sees people!"
|-
|Monita's Rooftop
|"I've been tinkering with some Monita prototypes in my spare time. When the Monitas' lamps change color, the ghost is nearby!"

*'''Battery''': This is a flashlight battery--the type that just pops into existence when you need it the most. It's a strange yet convenient phenomenon, but I do wish they'd stop appearing so far away.
*'''Flashlight''': This special flashlight is specifically designed for ghost trackers. These things hardly last more than a few minutes, though. Shoddy product design, if you ask me.
*'''Ghost Statue''': In Luigi's Ghost Mansion, you can zap ghosts with light to drain them of their supernatural energy. That's just the magic of Nintendo Land. Obviously, real ghosts would laugh at such a pathetic attack.
*'''Robotic Arm''': The lab appears to be long abandoned, but these arms are still hard at work assembling something. Running for so long without malfunctioning is quite a feat. I wonder who designed them?
*'''Suit of Armor''': A poltergeist decided to settle down in this ancient set of armor. They say when the park is closed, it saunters listlessly through the halls...
*'''Super Light''': When you're in trouble, this high-powered battery will turn up to help you zap apparitions with ease. But why can't they appear before you're in a pinch?

==Trivia== 
*According to an Iwata Asks interview, Luigi's Ghost Mansion helped adjust a mechanic used in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''{{'}}s multiplayer mode, the [[ScareScraper]]. Originally, the developers wanted a fallen Luigi to stay dead and be impossible to revive. After playing Luigi's Ghost Mansion, they changed it so other players could revive a fallen Luigi.<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/luigis-mansion-dark-moon/0/3|title=Iwata Asks - ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''|page=4|publisher=Nintendo of America|accessdate=September 9, 2024}}</ref>
