During the [[blackout]], Luigi can answer a telephone call from a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] and one from [[Professor E. Gadd]]. When Luigi answers the Toad's phone call, Toad will ask who is speaking.

The Telephone Room is a room in Area Four of the mansion in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. It is a relatively wide room. On the west wall there is a large cabinet in front of which is a small table and a small sofa. The middle of the room is empty except for a large chest on the north wall. Along the south wall there are three small rotary telephones, side-by-side. Finally, on the east wall, there is a cabinet, identical to the first, and two additional large chests. The wooden panels are more detailed in the remake, and a wooden crate and several objects can be seen on the back wall.[1]

During the blackout, Luigi can answer a telephone call from a Toad and one from Professor E. Gadd. When Luigi answers the Toad's phone call, Toad will ask who is speaking. The player then has the option to choose either Luigi or Bowser. If he chooses Luigi, the conversation goes on as normal. However, if he chooses Bowser, Toad hangs up and calls one of the other three phones, then the same conversation commences, but without the choice of stating whether it is Luigi or Bowser answering the phone. The Telephone Room is the only room in the blackout where capturing the ghosts is required to leave.

When Luigi picks up the phone during the blackout, the player can see a displaced shadow that vaguely resembles Luigi hanging from a noose, though this can technically be seen at various points throughout the game when the camera zooms in on Luigi, such as when he is talking with a Toad or with E. Gadd over the Game Boy Horror, due to the shadow's location being dependent on the camera, which normally is constantly facing the same direction. The shadow does not return in the remake,[1] which improves the shadow system and no longer relies on the camera facing a specific way to become rendered correctly.
