Template:Infobox Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, also known as Luigi's Mansion 2 in European and Australian regions (or Luigi Mansion 2 in Japan), is an upcoming Nintendo 3DS game that will serve as the sequel to Luigi's Mansion (which was released for the Nintendo GameCube). The game is to be released on March 20th in Japan, with North America getting the game on the 24th and Europe on the 28th. The Australian release is also in March, but a specific date has yet to be announced.
Plot
Professor E. Gadd has been researching ghosts in Evershade Valley, but when King Boo appears and shatters the Dark Moon, breaking into 6 pieces, sprawling them to each Mansion of the valley, the once friendly ghosts turn evil.
Luigi, who is at home (which resembles his new mansion from the previous game in Rank D), falls asleep while watching TV, until when E. Gadd suddenly appears on his TV screen. He informs Luigi about the situation and ask for his assistance. E. Gadd uses his Pixelator to teleport Luigi through the screen, much to Luigi's objections, into E.Gadd's Safe Room in the Evershade Valley to search for the scattered pieces of the Dark Moon and solve this problem.[1]
Gameplay
In this game, the Dark Moon has shattered and Luigi needs to find the Dark Moon pieces. So far six mansions have been confirmed[2][3] (with one mansion being exclusive to multiplayer mode.), which will have multiple missions each in them. The game also introduces the Poltergust 5000, the Poltergust 3000's upgrade.[4] Shining light via flashlight is no longer sufficient to stun all the ghosts in the game; players now need to activate the Strobulb to stun ghosts. The Flash Light has another feature called Dark-Light, which will shine a rainbow colored light to find things such as the path of Boos or invisible objects.[5] Luigi will also be given the Dual Scream, which is an original Nintendo DS. It will act the same way as the Game Boy Horror and will display a map on the 3DS's bottom screen. Cash and gems help with the mission score, as well as with upgrades to the Poltergust 5000. The game is said to be a lot more puzzle-oriented.[6]
Scarescraper
Unlike its predecessor, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon includes a multiplayer mode called the Scarescraper[7] (known as Trill Tower in PAL versions), a series of floors where up to four players can play. The Scarescraper may have a chosen amount of rooms ranging from five to infinite. Along with being local multiplayer, it is also online multiplayer. There are at least three modes confirmed[8], these include:
- Hunter Mode - Players will need to capture all the ghosts in order to advance to the next floor.
- Rush Mode - Players will need to reach the hatch within the allotted time.
- Polterpup Mode - Players will need to chase down and capture all the Polterpups.

Trivia
- In the latest trailer, which was released in the 3DS Software Showcase at E3 2012, the arrangement of pause menu BGM of Mario Strikers Charged is heard at the last elevator scene.[26] Both games were developed by Next Level Games.
- In the previous game, Luigi had the Game Boy Horror for communication, which was based off the Game Boy Color. In this game, Luigi uses the Dual Scream, which resembles yet another Nintendo handheld console, also for communicating. Its ringtone is the first game's main theme as well as E. Gadd's theme.
- In the first Mansion, Luigi opens the main door and says "...Hello?" in a scared voice. This is a tribute to the first game's opening sequence.
- There are a few Easter eggs that appear in the intro sequence:
- Luigi is seen sleeping on his recliner, and the map featured in the first game can be seen behind him on the wall.
- Luigi's house bears a strong resemblance to the Rank D Mansion from the ending of the predecessor.
- There is a trophy over the fireplace which has a plunger and a wrench on it, suggesting that Luigi does work as a plumber from time to time.
- The scene when Luigi inspects his TV is a reference to a scene in the movie Poltergeist.
