'''Luigi's Mansion''' is a huge mansion that [[Luigi]] must go through in the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] game [[Luigi's Mansion|of the same name]]. Luigi uses a [[Poltergust 3000]] to suck up the [[Boo]]s, [[Portrait Ghost]]s, [[Blue Mouse (ghost)|Mouse Ghosts]] and other ghosts, all in order to find [[Mario]], who had gone missing.

'''Luigi's Mansion''' is a huge [[Ghost House]] constructed by the [[Boo]]s that [[Luigi]] first encounters in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] [[Luigi's Mansion|game of the same name]]. Luigi wins the mansion in a contest that he did not even enter. When he gets there, Luigi finds that the mansion is haunted and that [[Mario]] has been kidnapped. Luigi later meets [[Professor E. Gadd]], who gives him the [[Poltergust 3000]], which allows him to suck up the [[ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]]s who inhabit the mansion.

[[File:Mansion LM 3DS.png|thumb|left|The mansion in the Nintendo 3DS remake]]
Prior to the events of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', Professor E. Gadd traveled the world in his youth capturing [[portrait ghost|ghosts]] and trapped them in portraits, with the final ghost he caught being [[Boolossus]]. [[King Boo]] freed Boolossus and the two of them freed the rest of the captured ghosts. They then conjured up a mansion near Professor E. Gadd's [[Lab]] to mock him and sent a message to [[Luigi]] and [[Mario]] telling them that Luigi won the mansion in a contest in order to lure them there. Mario arrives first and is captured by King Boo and sealed away in a portrait. When Luigi arrives, Mario is not there, so Luigi explores the mansion in an attempt to locate him.  


== Appearances ==
The mansion is split between three floors, a roof, and a basement, for a total of 41 rooms, with a majority of the rooms containing the escaped portrait ghosts. Several regular [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] also roam the halls and are found in several rooms. On the [[Game Boy Horror]], the rooms are color-coded by area. Yellow is area 1, blue is area 2, green is area 3, and pink is area 4. In the [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|3DS version]], yellow is area 1, pink is area 2, green is area 3, and blue is area 4. Despite the mansion being created by the Boos, they appear to have been trapped in a [[Storage Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Storage Room]] and become freed during the course of the game, where they are then found in most of the rooms.
=== ''Luigi's Mansion'' ===
Towards the beginning of the game, [[Professor Elvin Gadd]] revealed to Luigi that the mansion was built the ghosts who had deceived Luigi; by the end of the game, Luigi's Mansion was destroyed and, with the funding Luigi had collected on his adventures, rebuilt in [[Luigi's NEW Mansion|a considerably nicer form]], which varied depending on the amount of money collected by the [[player]] during the game time. (Inexplicably, the new mansion has only reappeared as a cameo in the background of the [[Luigi Circuit]] course in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', while the regular, now-ruined mansion has reappeared several times). There is also a harder version of the mansion known as the '''Hidden Mansion''', which can be chosen after Luigi defeats King Boo. The Hidden Mansion is rather similar to the normal mansion of the game, but the entire mansion is mirrored from the normal one, and the ghosts and [[Boo]]s are stronger. The [[Poltergust 3000]] is about 1.5 times more powerful in the Hidden Mansion.


This mansion was created by Boos. [[King Boo]] had a plan to get rid of the [[Mario Bros.]] (apparently due to the trouble they'd caused him in the past), so he captured Mario. He also sent a fake note about winning the mansion in a contest to lure Luigi inside the mansion, but Luigi (as aforementioned) ended King Boo's plan and destroyed the mansion. Luigi's Mansion looks like a stereotypical haunted mansion (therefore resembling places such as [[Big Boo's Haunt]] and [[Boo's Mansion]]), though it is perhaps interesting to note that Luigi's Mansion's two, yellow-lit windows bear resemblance to eyes if the porch is to be thought of as a mouth, making the mansion look rather alive.
At the end of the game after Luigi defeats King Boo, the mansion vanishes and a [[Luigi's NEW Mansion|new one]] is built in its place using Luigi's money collected by the player throughout the game. The size of the new mansion is dependent on the amount of funds obtained by the player. Professor E. Gadd also reveals that the entirety of Luigi's adventure took place in only one night and that the mansion itself was just an illusion. There is also an alternate version of the mansion known as the '''Hidden Mansion''', which can be played after Luigi defeats King Boo. The Hidden Mansion is identical to the normal mansion in the NTSC GameCube versions, but the ghosts and [[Boo]]s are stronger. The [[Poltergust 3000]] is 1.5 times more powerful in the Hidden Mansion. In the PAL GameCube release, the mansion is mirrored and the ghost placement is vastly different as well. Most of the changes made in the PAL version were retained in the 3DS remake, with the exception of the mirrored layout and the stronger Poltergust 3000.

=== ''Mario Kart'' series ===
====''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''====
Luigi's Mansion has made a few reappearances most notably in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]; it has been seen in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', where it is a battle course, and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', where it and what is thought to be [[Boo Woods]] (see below) is a race course.
At the beginning of ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', the map Luigi used to get to the mansion hangs on the wall behind him.


=== ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' ===
===''Super Mario-kun''===
{{rewrite}}
[[File:Luigi'sMansion SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|''Super Mario-kun'']]
While the mansion is never seen in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' (for it appeared in an instant a few days before Luigi came), its location is implied as "Boo Woods", as Young Elvin Gadd states that he wishes to start another laboratory (after his past one was ruined by the eruption of [[Thwomp Volcano]]) at said forest, and his newer lab was seen in chronologically later games as right next to the then to-be-built Luigi's Mansion. However, ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> aforementioned cameo appearance of Luigi's NEW Mansion seems to create inconsistencies with this, as it showed the NEW Mansion, which is thought to be on the same site as the original Luigi's Mansion, as being in Luigi Circuit, which is almost devoid of trees and other woodland features.
Luigi's Mansion appears in one chapter of volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. As in the game, Luigi wins it, but he stumbles on it after being lost in the woods and Mario being missing.
[[Image:Mansion.PNG|right|thumb|left|Luigi's Mansion in ''Mario Hoops 3 on 3''.]]


=== ''Mario Power Tennis'' ===
===''Paper Mario'' series===
Luigi's Mansion also made a cameo in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' where it is in the background of the Luigi's Mansion court and [[Terror Tennis]] mini-game.
Luigi's Mansion is mentioned by one of the [[crow]]s in [[Twilight Town]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.


=== ''Mario Hoops 3 on 3'' ===
The [[Foyer (Luigi's Mansion)|Foyer]] of the mansion appears in the [[Mansion Patrol]] minigame of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. The Foyer is depicted as black with no doors leading to the other rooms and lined with empty portraits, making it look different than its other depictions. However, the ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Player's Guide for ''Super Paper Mario'' refers to it directly as "a Luigi's Mansion foyer".<ref>''Super Paper Mario Nintendo Player's Guide'', page 144.</ref>
It even appears in ''[[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]]'' as the second playable court in the [[Flower Tourney]]. Ghosts abound on the court and will grab the ball should it cross their path. Players must jump to grab the ball back. Interesting to note is that the baskets on this court are attached to chandeliers moving left to right, which can cause trouble for normal tosses at the basket.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[Image:LMansionBrawl.jpg|thumb|Luigi's Mansion in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
Luigi's Mansion is also the name of a [[GCN Luigi's Mansion|battle course]] and [[DS Luigi's Mansion|race course]] found in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. The courses take place both inside and outside the mansion, and feature many environmental elements originally seen in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. The battle course originally appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and later reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', while the race course first appears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and later in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.


=== ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ===
Luigi's Mansion also appears as a haunted house attraction in the background of {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}} in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart Tour''. In the ''Mario Kart 8'' iteration of the course, the mansion is redesigned.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]'', Luigi's Mansion is an unlockable battle stage. The stage shows 5 rooms from ''Luigi's Mansion'', and the mansion itself is destructible. Players can destroy a part of it by attacking the poles in the seperate rooms. When a player does this a few Boos will appear and then quickly fade away. If players destroy all the poles, the stage will just be flat. Later, the stage will rebuild itself. Also, if all the players are not in any of the rooms and the mansion is whole, it shows the front of the mansion.

While the mansion is never seen in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the [[Boo Woods]], the area of which the mansion is located, is referred to after the eruption of [[Thwomp Volcano]]. The volcano destroys the young Professor E. Gadd's lab at the base of the volcano, prompting him to ponder moving his research to the Boo Woods. While also never seen, it is known that the Boo Woods is the location of his lab as seen in ''Luigi's Mansion''.

===''Mario Power Tennis''===
[[File:MPTLuigimansion.jpg|thumb|Luigi's Mansion Court]]
{{main|Luigi's Mansion Court}}
Luigi's Mansion Court is a default court in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', and is it set in the [[Courtyard (Luigi's Mansion)|Courtyard]]. There are numerous ghosts watching the game. In the normal version of this court, it is set on a concrete field, with no real gimmicks in it. In the gimmick version, on occasion, a ghost appears on either side of the court and can harass the players. This slows them down, making it more difficult to move and hit the ball at the right time. However, if a player lands the ball onto the mid-back space on the court (which has a picture of a light bulb on it), all the ghosts on the other side of the court disappear. The [[Minigame]] [[Terror Tennis]] is held on this court. Unlike in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', this mansion is actually the mansion (presumably in its older form) seen in ''Luigi's Mansion''.

[[File:Luigi's Mansion SSBU.png|200px|thumb|The Luigi's Mansion stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Luigi's Mansion is an unlockable battle stage. The stage shows five rooms from ''Luigi's Mansion'' (based upon the [[Nursery]], the [[Kitchen (Luigi's Mansion)|Kitchen]], the [[Study (Luigi's Mansion)|Study]], the [[Ball Room]], and the [[Foyer (Luigi's Mansion)|Foyer]]), and the mansion itself is destructible. Players can destroy a part of it by attacking the poles in the separate rooms. When a player does this a few Boos will appear and then quickly fade away. If players destroy all the poles, the stage will just be flat. Later, the stage will rebuild itself. If every player is not in any of the rooms and the mansion is whole, the front of the mansion is shown. It returned as a starter stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. In it, like in all other stages, players have access to an alternate [[smashwiki:Ω form|Omega form]] of the stage patterned after Final Destination: in this case, a balcony in front of the mansion's roof. The stage also reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

=== Mario Super Sluggers ===
==Trivia==
Luigi's Mansion has been comfirmed as a playable stadium in the upcoming game, [[Mario Super Sluggers]]. The stadium will be located outside of the mansion itself, and will feature bushes that may hide the ball from view (similar to [[Peach Garden|Princess Peach's stadium]] in the previous game), as well as gravestones that, when hit, will produce a generic ghost from [[Luigi's Mansion|the game the stadium was based on]].
*Although the mansion does not appear in the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', the trailer of ''Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition'' features Luigi with the Poltergust walking into a ghost house, referencing the mansion and game.
*From the outside, the central two frontal windows on the second floor are lit and drawn in such a way to resemble glaring eyes. This may be a nod to the eye-like quarter-circle windows previously on 112 Ocean Avenue, a real-world house known as the setting of ''{{wp|The Amityville Horror}}''.

==References==
*Luigi's Mansion is mentioned by one of the [[crow]]s in [[Twilight Town]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

“As if that weren't enough, they built a mansion in front of my lab in the space of a single night, and then they all hid inside! If I told anybody else this stuff, they'd probably have me committed!”
—Professor E. Gadd, Luigi's Mansion

Luigi's Mansion is a huge Ghost House constructed by the Boos that Luigi first encounters in the Nintendo GameCube game of the same name. Luigi wins the mansion in a contest that he did not even enter. When he gets there, Luigi finds that the mansion is haunted and that Mario has been kidnapped. Luigi later meets Professor E. Gadd, who gives him the Poltergust 3000, which allows him to suck up the ghosts who inhabit the mansion.

The mansion in the Nintendo 3DS remake

Prior to the events of Luigi's Mansion, Professor E. Gadd traveled the world in his youth capturing ghosts and trapped them in portraits, with the final ghost he caught being Boolossus. King Boo freed Boolossus and the two of them freed the rest of the captured ghosts. They then conjured up a mansion near Professor E. Gadd's Lab to mock him and sent a message to Luigi and Mario telling them that Luigi won the mansion in a contest in order to lure them there. Mario arrives first and is captured by King Boo and sealed away in a portrait. When Luigi arrives, Mario is not there, so Luigi explores the mansion in an attempt to locate him.

The mansion is split between three floors, a roof, and a basement, for a total of 41 rooms, with a majority of the rooms containing the escaped portrait ghosts. Several regular ghosts also roam the halls and are found in several rooms. On the Game Boy Horror, the rooms are color-coded by area. Yellow is area 1, blue is area 2, green is area 3, and pink is area 4. In the 3DS version, yellow is area 1, pink is area 2, green is area 3, and blue is area 4. Despite the mansion being created by the Boos, they appear to have been trapped in a Storage Room and become freed during the course of the game, where they are then found in most of the rooms.

At the end of the game after Luigi defeats King Boo, the mansion vanishes and a new one is built in its place using Luigi's money collected by the player throughout the game. The size of the new mansion is dependent on the amount of funds obtained by the player. Professor E. Gadd also reveals that the entirety of Luigi's adventure took place in only one night and that the mansion itself was just an illusion. There is also an alternate version of the mansion known as the Hidden Mansion, which can be played after Luigi defeats King Boo. The Hidden Mansion is identical to the normal mansion in the NTSC GameCube versions, but the ghosts and Boos are stronger. The Poltergust 3000 is 1.5 times more powerful in the Hidden Mansion. In the PAL GameCube release, the mansion is mirrored and the ghost placement is vastly different as well. Most of the changes made in the PAL version were retained in the 3DS remake, with the exception of the mirrored layout and the stronger Poltergust 3000.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon[edit]

At the beginning of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, the map Luigi used to get to the mansion hangs on the wall behind him.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Super Mario-kun

Luigi's Mansion appears in one chapter of volume 26 of Super Mario-kun. As in the game, Luigi wins it, but he stumbles on it after being lost in the woods and Mario being missing.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Luigi's Mansion is mentioned by one of the crows in Twilight Town in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

The Foyer of the mansion appears in the Mansion Patrol minigame of Super Paper Mario. The Foyer is depicted as black with no doors leading to the other rooms and lined with empty portraits, making it look different than its other depictions. However, the Nintendo Power Player's Guide for Super Paper Mario refers to it directly as "a Luigi's Mansion foyer".[1]

Mario Kart series[edit]

Luigi's Mansion is also the name of a battle course and race course found in the Mario Kart series. The courses take place both inside and outside the mansion, and feature many environmental elements originally seen in Luigi's Mansion. The battle course originally appears in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and later reappears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, while the race course first appears in Mario Kart DS and later in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Tour.

Luigi's Mansion also appears as a haunted house attraction in the background of GCN Baby Park in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart Tour. In the Mario Kart 8 iteration of the course, the mansion is redesigned.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]

While the mansion is never seen in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, the Boo Woods, the area of which the mansion is located, is referred to after the eruption of Thwomp Volcano. The volcano destroys the young Professor E. Gadd's lab at the base of the volcano, prompting him to ponder moving his research to the Boo Woods. While also never seen, it is known that the Boo Woods is the location of his lab as seen in Luigi's Mansion.

Mario Power Tennis[edit]

Luigi's Mansion Court
Luigi's Mansion Court
Main article: Luigi's Mansion Court

Luigi's Mansion Court is a default court in Mario Power Tennis, and is it set in the Courtyard. There are numerous ghosts watching the game. In the normal version of this court, it is set on a concrete field, with no real gimmicks in it. In the gimmick version, on occasion, a ghost appears on either side of the court and can harass the players. This slows them down, making it more difficult to move and hit the ball at the right time. However, if a player lands the ball onto the mid-back space on the court (which has a picture of a light bulb on it), all the ghosts on the other side of the court disappear. The Minigame Terror Tennis is held on this court. Unlike in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, this mansion is actually the mansion (presumably in its older form) seen in Luigi's Mansion.

Mario Hoops 3-on-3[edit]

Main article: Luigi's Mansion (Mario Hoops 3-on-3)

The Luigi's Mansion stage in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Luigi's Mansion is an unlockable battle stage. The stage shows five rooms from Luigi's Mansion (based upon the Nursery, the Kitchen, the Study, the Ball Room, and the Foyer), and the mansion itself is destructible. Players can destroy a part of it by attacking the poles in the separate rooms. When a player does this a few Boos will appear and then quickly fade away. If players destroy all the poles, the stage will just be flat. Later, the stage will rebuild itself. If every player is not in any of the rooms and the mansion is whole, the front of the mansion is shown. It returned as a starter stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. In it, like in all other stages, players have access to an alternate Omega form of the stage patterned after Final Destination: in this case, a balcony in front of the mansion's roof. The stage also reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Mario Super Sluggers[edit]

A Volleyball match at Luigi's Mansion court

Luigi's Mansion makes an appearance in Mario Sports Mix as a volleyball and basketball court. During a basketball match, one of the ghosts may snatch the ball out of the player's hand and pass it off to one of their opponents. When playing volleyball, the volleyball net is covered in a large spider web. The volleyball and basketball match appears to take place inside.

Unused appearances[edit]

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

Luigi's Mansion appears in concept artwork for The Super Mario Bros. Movie as a location in the Dark Lands.[2] In the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing voicemail, Luigi mentions (and puts emphasis on) a mansion when listing examples of residences customers may own, alluding to the location.

Trivia[edit]

  • Although the mansion does not appear in the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, the trailer of Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition features Luigi with the Poltergust walking into a ghost house, referencing the mansion and game.
  • From the outside, the central two frontal windows on the second floor are lit and drawn in such a way to resemble glaring eyes. This may be a nod to the eye-like quarter-circle windows previously on 112 Ocean Avenue, a real-world house known as the setting of The Amityville Horror.
