'''''Luigi's Mansion''''', known as '''''Luigi Mansion''''' in Japanese, is a [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]] of the 2001 [[Nintendo GameCube]] [[Luigi's Mansion|game of the same name]] released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2018. It is the second game in the ''[[Luigi's Mansion (series)|Luigi's Mansion]]'' series after ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' to be released for the 3DS. It was first announced in a Nintendo Direct presentation broadcast on March 8, 2018<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsFna-Z1MjU&t=291s</ref> and initially released in North America on October 12, 2018, a week later in Europe and Oceania, and the following month on November 8 in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong. Among the new features, the remake includes a map that appears in the bottom screen of the Nintendo 3DS, as well as a redesigned [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]] with a Boss Rush mode that allows players to battle against already defeated [[portrait ghost]]s. The game can be played in single player or multiplayer alongside a slime-themed [[Luigi]], dubbed [[Gooigi]], brought from the [[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon|future]] by E. Gadd. The game requires 1778 blocks for a digital download from the [[Nintendo eShop#Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo eShop]].

==Storyline==
===Digital Manual===
<blockquote>One day, Luigi received an unexpected message: "You've won a huge mansion!" Naturally, he got very excited and called his brother, Mario. "Mario? It's me, Luigi. I won myself a big mansion! Meet me there and we'll celebrate. What do you say?"<br>
<br>
Luigi tried to follow the map to his new mansion, but the night was dark, and he became hopelessly lost in an eerie forest along the way. Finally, he came upon a gloomy mansion on the edge of the woods. According to the map, this mansion seemed to be the one Luigi was looking for. As soon as Luigi set foot in the mansion, he started to feel nervous. Mario, who should have arrived first, was nowhere to be seen. Not only that, but there were ghosts in the mansion!<br>
<br>
Suddenly, a ghost lunged at Luigi! "Mario! Help meee!" That's when a strange old man with a vacuum cleaner on his back appeared out of nowhere! This strange fellow managed to rescue Luigi from the ghosts, and then the two of them escaped...<br>
<br>
It just so happened that the old man, Professor Elvin Gadd, who lived near the house, was researching his favorite subject: ghosts. Luigi told Professor E. Gadd that his brother, Mario, was missing, so the professor decided to give Luigi two inventions that would help him search for his brother.<br>
<br>
Luigi's not exactly known for his bravery. Can he get rid of all the prank-loving ghosts and find Mario?</blockquote>

==List of changes from the original game==
===Gameplay changes===
[[File:BossRushMode3DS.png|thumb|300px|The Boss Rush mode]]
[[File:Luigi'sMansionBoo3DS.png|thumb|A Boo in the Area 2 hallway]]
[[File:Luigi'sMansionPolterpup3DS.png|thumb|Polterpup licking Luigi to wake him up]]
*The game can be played in multiplayer, with the second player controlling [[Gooigi]]. With two players, ghosts can be attacked simultaneously and defeated faster than with one player.
*The game has [[amiibo]] compatibility for up to four amiibo figures consisting of [[Luigi]], [[Mario]], [[Toad]], and [[Boo]]:
**The Luigi amiibo gives the player a [[Gold Bone]] and revives Luigi with [[Polterpup]], and identifies the locations of Speedy Spirits in dark rooms.
**The Mario amiibo turns [[Poison Mushroom#Luigi's Mansion|Poison Mushroom]]s into [[Super Mushroom#Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|Super Mushroom]]s, restoring 25 HP upon collecting them.
**The Toad amiibo refills Luigi's HP when talking to Toad.
**The Boo amiibo tracks the location of Boos on the touch screen if they escape.
*Pressing X will not let the player choose a file to erase (or Y to copy). The player needs to choose a file and select Erase the File (or Copy Data).
*Due to the lack of Game Boy Horror functionalities at the start of the game, the "Your Mansion" map is displayed on the touch screen.
**The player can use the buttons of the Game Boy Horror on the touch screen while in Search mode.
*The player controls the direction Luigi is facing and the Game Boy Horror's first person screen by using the 3DS' gyroscope rather than {{button|gcn|C}}.
*There are now two control methods to catch ghosts: the flashlight, which is similar to the GameCube version by default, and the [[Strobulb]], which is similar to ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. The Circle Pad Pro accessory can be used on a regular Nintendo 3DS to play the game as well.
*Luigi can go back to The Lab any time by opening the mansion's front door within the Foyer. However, this is impossible during the blackout; instead, it will show a message if attempting to leave: "''...The door is locked by a mysterious force.''"
**Upon reentering the Mansion or Hidden Mansion, Luigi and Gooigi's HP is fully restored, whereas in the original, Luigi's HP is not.
*While in the Lab, there are more options to choose from, now consisting of: "The Mansion," "The Hidden Mansion," "The Gallery," "Save," "amiibo," and "Play Co-op."
*The brand new Gallery area can be used to battle already beaten portrait ghosts for the Boss Rush mode either in single player or in multiplayer alongside Gooigi, who has 50 HP.
*Players can now unlock [[#Achievements|achievements]] by completing certain tasks in the game.
*Loose coins from physical damage and collecting large amounts of money and gems last a few seconds longer before disappearing.
*When the player collects an item (key, gem, etc.) while there is money laying around, this will pause the timer to prevent money disappearing.
*[[Gold Bone]]s return to provide Luigi with extra lives upon using the Luigi amiibo.
**If Luigi loses a life while holding a Gold Bone, Polterpup will appear and revive him, like in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''.
*Players have an option to skip the King Boo intro cutscene before the final battle begins by pressing {{button|3ds|start}}; however, this is only possible if the player quits the game after seeing the cutscene, was defeated while battling the final boss, or when entering the cutscene the first time in Hidden Mansion mode.
*The Hidden Mansion has received several changes:
**The Hidden Mansion has most of the same effects as the original PAL release; however, the mansion is not mirrored, and Luigi no longer rides his Poltergust 3000 during the [[Boolossus]] battle.
**All ghosts, including portrait ghosts and Boos, have more HP (their base HP have been multiplied by 1.5, which allows Luigi to obtain more pearls from portrait ghosts).
**Hearts are replaced by [[Poison Mushroom]]s, though the player can still get hearts by catching two or more ghosts simultaneously.
***For unknown reasons, however, there is a chance that a heart will appear during the King Boo battle when Bowser destroys a pillar.
**[[Speedy Spirit]] locations have been changed.
**The [[Sealed Room]]'s money yield has been changed, but the total value stays the same as the GameCube version.
**Mario's item locations have been changed, except his [[Mario's Star (item)|star]], which is in the same location in the [[Observatory]]:
***[[Mario's Cap|Mario's Hat]] is found in the [[Kitchen]].
***[[Mario's Letter]] is found in [[The Twins' Room]].
***[[Mario's Shoe]] is found in the [[Billiards Room]].
***[[Mario's Glove]] is found in the [[Courtyard (Luigi's Mansion)|Courtyard]].
**Platinum portrait ghosts can now be obtained, under stricter conditions:
***For non-boss ghosts, Luigi must drain 140 HP in one go. It is possible to get more pearls by doing so.
***For boss ghosts, Luigi must finish the battle with at least 95 HP.
**Bosses are more difficult:
***[[Chauncey]] has the same battle effects from the PAL GameCube release.
***[[Bogmire]] appears in one location for a few seconds before reappearing in another.
***[[King Boo]]'s spike bombs explode seconds upon being thrown the first time, while they may or may not explode the second time.
**Defeating [[Slim Bankshot]] is now required, whereas [[Henry and Orville]] are optional.
*[[Luigi's NEW Mansion|S rank]] is a new rank, making it the highest rank in the remake instead of the A rank as in the original game, though much like the A rank, can only be achieved in the Hidden Mansion due to more pearls and such being thrown out by portrait ghosts.

===Visual changes===
*The box art updates Luigi's appearance. His torso is more visible, his individual mustache hairs and teeth are defined and his clothes have simple detailing, his tongue is more circular than heart-shaped, [[Luigi Cap|his cap]] receives more shadows and hides more of the "L", Luigi overall resembles the final version of his current appearance since ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', and the Boos have the additional two teeth from their current appearance like in [[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon|the 3DS sequel]]. The text is also shifted, causing the Gold Ghost and Boo in the background to be more visible.
*The remake's overall walking style and design resembles that of the sequel rather than the original game.
*The lightning behind the Mansion is purple-colored and brighter.
*There are more trees in front of the Mansion's front yard and grounds outside of the gate.
*The broken-down horse carriage wagon outside the Mansion's gates is rotated and slightly different.

*The glass around the Parlor doors has a different design.
*The Parlor's doorknobs have a different design.
*The Foyer, Training Room, Anteroom, Storage Room, Mirror Room, Graveyard's battle arena, Bathroom (2F), Balcony (3F), Breaker Room, and Clockwork Room have a different floor design.
*Ghosts are not as translucent.
*Gold Ghosts, Temper Terrors, Speedy Spirits, Purple Punchers, Flashes, Blue Twirlers, Blue Blazes and Bowling Ghosts have new animations when they appear instead of having their arms held up in the original release.
*The Training Room is different, featuring flatter pipes with several smaller pipes leading to a red value on the walls, a different wall design, two ceiling lights, and two Pixelators.
*Gold Ghosts pop out of the Training Room's green pipes as orbs instead of full fledged ghosts, similar to the Gold Ghost carrying the Parlor door key in the Foyer at the beginning of the game.
*Ghost paintings have been redesigned.
*E. Gadd's "Famous Ghost Collection" (not including Boolossus and King Boo) was composed of 25 paintings,<ref>''"I had 25 paintings once upon a time. My Famous Ghost Collection was complete!"'' &ndash; Professor E. Gadd, ''Luigi's Mansion'' (3DS)</ref> four more than in the original version.<ref>''"I once had 21 paintings in my Famous Ghost Collection, but now there are only frames."'' &ndash; Professor E. Gadd, ''Luigi's Mansion'' (GameCube)</ref>
*The Gallery now lets Luigi view all the portraits of the portrait ghosts from the bottom to top depending on either the size of pearls dropped or health lost in battle.
*The search tool on the Game Boy Horror needs to be obtained by Luigi in the Gallery.
*The player is forced to answer the call from E. Gadd each time Luigi captures a Boo instead of it being automatic.
*Room names are displayed on the top screen upon entering a room, despite already being said on the lower touch screen, along with currency and ghosts captured.
*There are cutscenes for when vines appear or disappear on doors, along with a cutscene for Spooky's doghouse in the Boneyard.
*Some heart quotes have been added or altered.
*Chauncey's eyes are completely closed while sleeping in the Nursery and his winking animation is much more detailed before the boss fight begins.
*The area key chest rewarded for beating Chauncey has been moved farther away from the wall, preventing sequence breaks.
*The generator in the Breaker Room now has an animation of the pressure arrows moving when it is active.
*The Area doors lack vines and their emblems will illuminate and go faint repeatedly once their respective keys has been achieved and are trying to be opened.
*There is a different painting in the first-floor Washroom.
*The Boo icon that shows how many Boos are captured is from ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' instead of an original sprite.
*The Luigi icon on the map is from ''Super Mario Maker'' replacing the Luigi sprite from the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' from the original.
*Elemental Ghosts are more transparent.
*There is now a pink ball of yarn in [[Nana's Room]] instead of two yellow and one blue yarn ball like the original.
*The Conservatory has a slightly different painting, with the early unused blue ghosts holding their respective instruments slightly higher.
*The deer head's eyes change color when vacuumed in the Safari Room.
*The lights in the Balcony (3F) are purple-colored during the Boolossus fight.
*Professor E. Gadd's hint given in the Telephone Room about Uncle Grimmly's location has been changed to be more specific, adding that the ghost prefers rooms "'''with clothes''' and a mirror."
*The pillars on the roof now have plants, though they cannot be watered.
*The Secret Altar has lion heads with a different design.
*The Mario painting in the Secret Altar is an oil painting style, much like his painting in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', rather than the blurred style in the original game.
*The dialog boxes (as well as the text and the head of the character who talks) have been enlarged, with the boxes taking up the full width of the screen instead of using a smaller rectangle at the top left corner.
**Mario's dialog box is colored red instead of purple, with his head displayed beside the text.
**All the ghosts has now their own dialog box with their head instead of a headless purple one.
*The [[Roof (Luigi's Mansion)|Roof]]'s fiery backdrop includes a swirling tornado of fire speeding across the area. In addition, its pillars are more intricately designed and the plants on top of them are purple-colored.
*The [[Bowser]] suit's model has been revamped to maintain his current proportions.
*The Bowser suit now has a new animation for when its head is detached: instead of its body standing in a dazed position, it raises its arms upon losing its head before slumping down to the ground.
*[[King Boo]] now visibly wriggles his way out of the Bowser suit as opposed to simply exiting it.
**When King Boo wriggles out of the Bowser suit, Luigi freezes in place while that scene is played.
*The Rank D mansion is slightly different compared to the GameCube release and in the opening of ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', showing only one roof instead of two.
*The new mansion portraits used to have all different skies at varying times of day. They now all have the same midday sky but with various cloud arrangements.
*There is one more [[Stone (Luigi's Mansion)|Green Stone]] than in the original game, which can be found in the Sealed Room inside the chest on the floor on the right side of the room.
*In the [[Ghost Portrificationizer]] room, there are red and green lights instead of blue.
*The picture of the three early ghosts on one of the machines was changed to a generic image of the lab.
*If the player gets a Game Over in Portrait Battle, the screen will say "''Too Bad...''" instead of "''Good Night''".
*E. Gadd says "What do you want to do, Luigi?" instead of "Where do you want to go, Luigi?" in the lab.

===Audio changes===
*The intro with a very low-pitched voice saying "[[Nintendo]]" is removed.
*[[Kazumi Totaka|Totaka]]'s Song can now only be heard on the screen where the player chooses a control method for the first time.
*[[Toad]]'s voice is redubbed as his former voice actress, [[Jen Taylor]], was replaced by [[Samantha Kelly]].
*Certain jingles have been dramatized.
*Luigi's whistling is more echoey.

==Achievements==
Achievements are divided into five different levels (Beginner, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Master), and can be viewed through the Options on the pause menu or by interacting with the statue in the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], located next to the right-side stairs.

==Promotion==
The game's official website contains a feature called [[Professor E. Gadd's Research Journal]]. It is divided into several entries, throughout which E. Gadd relates the discovery of Gooigi and the numerous experiments that had been carried out on him to improve his powers. The fictional journal is riddled with pictures that illustrate E. Gadd's stories.<ref>[https://luigismansion.nintendo.com/egadd-research-journal/ Professor E. Gadd's Research Journal]. ''Nintendo.com''. Retrieved September 12, 2019.</ref>

The [[Play Nintendo]] website features a trivia game called ''[[Luigi's Mansion Fun Online Trivia Quiz]]''.

==Reception==
Like the original game, the remake received mostly positive reviews. Praise was aimed towards the new features, graphics, and the use of the touch screen as well the use of 3D, which was an idea for the original version, but scrapped due to the high cost. However, the multiplayer received mixed impressions, and the lack of improvement to the original game's graphics in certain locations, such as the [[Mirror Room]], was criticized. While the controls were easy to handle, the motion controls received some criticism, being described by IGN as "a purge."

Nintendo's strange foray into the paranormal has aged well--I was surprised at how much of it had stuck in my memory, and how good it felt being back in its haunted halls. It's a basic port with a few issues, but Luigi's Mansion still remains a charming and enjoyable game.''"

|align="left"|"''Luigi's Mansion proves that there's still life in the 3DS, even as the [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]] seems positioned to become its replacement. This version is so much more than a look at a title from that past. We're getting to play a lost piece of Nintendo's history; a game that was originally designed for 3D, but was never fully realised due to the limitations of the technology at the time. After nearly two decades, we're playing Luigi's Mansion as it was originally intended, and it is as fun now as it was when the GameCube launched. If you've never played it before, you should definitely pick up this version. If you already have, the added functionality in the 3DS port provides more than enough reason to pick up the Poltergust one more time, although if you're one of those people who found the 2001 original disappointingly shallow (yes, such people actually exist), then this update is unlikely to change your mind, even with the welcome introduction of 3D support.''"

Catching various ghosts and completing Professor E. Gadd's gallery is a perfect time burner on the go and Grezzo have done a solid job bringing Luigi's Mansion to the 3DS. I just don't know if I'd prioritize playing the 3DS version over the GameCube version in the future.'"

==[[Nintendo eShop#Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo eShop]] description==
;American English version
<blockquote>''G-g-ghosts! Time to suck those suckers up because Luigi is back in the first portable version of this spooky classic. After winning a mansion in a contest he didn't enter, he must beat its many bosses and puzzles. Follow a map on the touchscreen, shine a flashlight, blow fire, shoot water, stun ghosts, and trap them...before Mario is trapped forever! All this ghost-catching tomfoolery pays off! As you suck 'em up with your Poltergust 3000, you could also rake in millions in hidden, in-game riches for our hard-luck hero. Make sure to search every area using the Game Boy Horror's map on your touchscreen and activate its Boo Radar to track down every Boo in the mansion or spot ghosts' weak points. After beating and capturing boss ghosts, you can select their portraits from the gallery to best your own score in tense rematches—a new feature in the Nintendo 3DS version!''</blockquote>
;British English version
<blockquote>''Nintendo GameCube classic Luigi's Mansion has been remade for Nintendo 3DS family systems! Fans of Luigi's Mansion 2 can now explore the original mansion where Mario went missing.''

''Luigi's something of a scaredy-cat, but these classic ghosts and traps are no match for his vacuum cleaner! Besides, the mansion's map will be displayed on the bottom screen.''

''If you work up the courage, fight the ghosts of your past battles in the new boss rush mode!''</blockquote>

==References to other games==
*''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'': When [[Gooigi]] is introduced, the Professor E. Gadd from the future that sent him is the one from during the events of this game. The ring tone that plays during future E. Gadd's call is that of the [[Dual Scream]], and [[Gloomy Manor]] can be seen on the monitor behind him. The redesigned Gallery features what looks like a [[Pixelator]] screen on the south wall, which Luigi ponders the purpose of if scanned with the Game Boy Horror.
*''[[Super Mario Maker]]'': A [[Boo]]'s sprite from the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' style appears in the bottom screen of the game, being used as an icon in the Boo counter on the Game Boy Horror's screen.

==Trivia==
*The original ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' supported a 3D mode which the [[Nintendo GameCube]] hardware could have enabled. Nintendo initially planned to release a GameCube screen peripheral to support 3D mode, but the peripheral was silently canceled in development for being impractical and expensive. This feature was not revealed until [[Satoru Iwata]] talked about it many years later during the Iwata Asks: Nintendo 3DS interview. The Nintendo 3DS remake brings back the lost 3D mode feature to fruition.
*During the scenes with the Ghost Portrificationizer, Luigi is missing his Poltergust straps.
