| | '''Mirror''' may refer to: |
| | | *[[Mirror (item)|Mirror]], an item in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. |
| A '''Mirror''' is a reflective surface that displays the reverse image of what is in front of it. As such, mirrors are typically used for personal grooming. However, the mirrors in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' serve another purpose. If [[Luigi]] examines a mirror with his [[Game Boy Horror]], the green-clad plumber will be instantly warped to the [[Foyer]], the main entrance of [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]]. Every mirror in the mansion (except the room-length mirror in the [[Mirror Room]]) is magically connected to the mirror in the Foyer. Additionally, if Luigi examines the Foyer mirror, he will simply warp to the Foyer (i.e. he will remain in the same place).
| | *[[Mirror (object)|Mirror]], an object in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. |
| | | *[[Mirror Mode|Mirror]], a [[Grand Prix]] mode in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart series]]''. |
| These magical mirrors can be used to create short-cuts when necessary (instead of walking through the entire mansion), return to the main entrance if lost in the mansion, or even (if needed) escape powerful enemies (if Luigi can examine the mirror fast enough before being attacked). Interestingly, the only way to exit the [[Sealed Room]] is to use the mirror located in the room (as the door is sealed up and Luigi cannot climb up the chimney, the entrance to the room). Some mirrors are covered with a piece of cloth, meaning Luigi has to remove the cloth with the [[Poltergust 3000]] before he can use the mirror.
| | *[[Mirror (species)|Mirror]], a species in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''. |
| | | {{disambig}} |
| Finally, one mirror in the mansion serves its regular purpose by showing the reflection of a wall switch Luigi needs to activate in the [[Storage Room]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Unlike other games, where hints about certain features are provided by characters or signs, the player is never informed that the mirrors can be used to warp to the Foyer. The only way for a player to figure this out is to have Luigi experiment with the Game Boy Horror and accidentally examine a mirror.
| |
| | |
| *Originally, a line of [[coins]] led to the wall switch in the Storage Room. Later in the game's development, programmers decided to remove the trail of coins in favor of the reflective mirror.
| |
| | |
| *An unlockable Mirror Mode of the courses appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. This unlockable version has the courses all reversed, so if the player had to turn left in the normal courses, in the Mirror Mode the player had to turn right.
