Template:Infobox Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon 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 confirmed to have at least three mansions,[1][2] but there is little info beyond that at the moment. The game also introduces the Poltergust 5000, the Poltergust 3000's upgrade.[3] Shining light via flashlight is no longer sufficient to stun all ghosts in the game. Players need to activate the Strobe Light to stun the ghosts. In this game, the Dark Moon has shattered and Luigi needs to find the Dark Moon pieces.[4] The game is said to be a lot more puzzle-oriented.[5] The game is to be released in North America somewhere around the begining of 2013.

Mansions
Unlike the first game, where there was only one mansion, Dark Moon features different themed mansions that Luigi can explore, thanks to E. Gadd's new teleport system. So far, there are 3 themed Mansions confirmed: a standard mansion (like the mansion in the first game), a snowy mansion and a clockwork mansion. There's a possible chance of there being a desert mansion and a mansion filled with plants.

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.[19] Interestingly enough, 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 a Nintendo DS, 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.
