The '''Foyer''' (Japanese: エントランス ''Entrance'') is the entrance to [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|Luigi's Mansion]]. When [[Luigi]] first explores the mansion and fails to open the [[Parlor]] door, a [[Gold Ghost|"gold spirit"]] drops the Parlor [[key]] in the middle of the Foyer. When Luigi returns with his [[Poltergust 3000]] later on, he finds [[Toad]] bawling over the disappearance of [[Mario]]. Assuring Toad that he will find his brother, the lights permanently turn on, only to be darkened again by the blackout later in the adventure. Luigi never encounters any ghosts in the foyer, even in the blackout, except for the one Golden ghost who gives him the key to the Parlor at the beginning of the game. [[Princess Peach]] also gets mentioned here, the only time actually in the game when Toad told Luigi that Peach sent him there to look for Mario. All the [[mirror]]s (except for the mirror in the [[Mirror Room]]) redirect to this room.
The '''Foyer''' (referred to as the '''Entrance''' in a pre-release version)<ref>{{file link|LM Prerelease Foyer Entrance.jpg}}</ref> is a location in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|Nintendo 3DS version]]. It is the first room of Area One to be explored, the first room overall to be explored, and always the first room to be explored during a new visit, including [[Luigi]]'s first visit. The Foyer is the only room, excluding the hallways, with two floors. Initially, all three sets of doors are locked, with the doors on the first floor being blocked off by a special force field. There are two vases and a drawer on the second floor, all of which are empty. On the first floor, there is a [[Mirror (object)|mirror]] covered by a cloth that Luigi can vacuum up. The Foyer also has a large chandelier, and if Luigi steps underneath the chandelier, it spins and falls to the floor a few seconds later, damaging Luigi if he is hit. [[Chauncey]]'s laughter sound is heard whenever the chandelier hits the ground, suggesting that it is controlled by Chauncey. After Chauncey is captured, this event no longer occurs.


The Foyer is the only room (excluding Hallways) to have two floors. The door to the first floor is blocked by a force field at first and requires a special pink key, which is obtained by defeating [[Chauncey]]. The second floor's north doors lead to the Parlor, while the west door leads to the [[Study]], [[Master Bedroom]], [[Nursery]], and [[The Twins' Room]], all home to a member of the [[Portrait Ghost]] family.
When Luigi first enters the Foyer, let alone the mansion itself, every door in the room is locked, including the double doors on the first floor, the double doors on the second floor, and the door in the west wall on the second floor. Upon attempting to open the double doors on the second floor, Luigi hears a strange sound and walks down to the first floor, where the transparent figure of a [[Gold Ghost]] appears holding a [[Key]]. After a moment, it drops the key and levitates over the stairs and through the doors on the second floor. With the key, Luigi can unlock the doors to enter the [[Parlor (Luigi's Mansion)|Parlor]].

In the middle of the room, there is a big chandelier. When Luigi steps underneath the middle of it (before defeating Chauncey), it will spin and fall to floor to attack Luigi. Then Luigi can hear Chauncey's laugh.

Foyer
The Foyer from Luigi's Mansion
Area Area One

The Foyer (referred to as the Entrance in a pre-release version)[1] is a location in Luigi's Mansion and its Nintendo 3DS version. It is the first room of Area One to be explored, the first room overall to be explored, and always the first room to be explored during a new visit, including Luigi's first visit. The Foyer is the only room, excluding the hallways, with two floors. Initially, all three sets of doors are locked, with the doors on the first floor being blocked off by a special force field. There are two vases and a drawer on the second floor, all of which are empty. On the first floor, there is a mirror covered by a cloth that Luigi can vacuum up. The Foyer also has a large chandelier, and if Luigi steps underneath the chandelier, it spins and falls to the floor a few seconds later, damaging Luigi if he is hit. Chauncey's laughter sound is heard whenever the chandelier hits the ground, suggesting that it is controlled by Chauncey. After Chauncey is captured, this event no longer occurs.

When Luigi first enters the Foyer, let alone the mansion itself, every door in the room is locked, including the double doors on the first floor, the double doors on the second floor, and the door in the west wall on the second floor. Upon attempting to open the double doors on the second floor, Luigi hears a strange sound and walks down to the first floor, where the transparent figure of a Gold Ghost appears holding a Key. After a moment, it drops the key and levitates over the stairs and through the doors on the second floor. With the key, Luigi can unlock the doors to enter the Parlor.

The Foyer as it appears in the Nintendo 3DS remake.

After Luigi meets Professor E. Gadd and receives the Poltergust 3000, he returns to the Foyer, and while its general layout is the same, a Toad now appears sobbing near the west staircase. If spoken to, the Toad reveals he was sent by Princess Peach to find Mario due to his extended absence. If Luigi vows to find Mario, the Toad lights up, as does the room. From this point on, Luigi can speak to the Toad at any time to save his progress, except during the blackout, since Toad does not appear during it.

Unlocking the door on the west side of the second floor requires Luigi to obtain the key in the Wardrobe Room. Before unlocking this door, Professor E. Gadd calls Luigi to inform him of the nearby portrait ghosts. This door leads to a hallway connecting to the Study, Master Bedroom, Nursery, and The Twins' Room. Later on, the doors on the first floor can be unlocked once Luigi has the Main Hall Key, obtained after defeating Chauncey.

Excluding the Gold Ghost at the start, the Foyer is one of the few rooms to not have any ghosts, including Boos. However, after Luigi releases every Boo from the Storage Room, the Toad in the Foyer claims that he saw a large Boo pass by.

If Luigi uses the Game Boy Horror to scan any of the mirrors, including the one in the Foyer but not the one in the Mirror Room, he is teleported to the center of the Foyer.

In the Nintendo 3DS remake, Luigi may exit the mansion and return to the Lab at any time by exiting through the entrance in the Foyer, except during the blackout, since there is a "mysterious force" blocking the entrance.
