Secret Mine
Template:Location-infobox The Secret Mine is the fourth mansion that Luigi goes to in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. This is the shortest mansion mission-wise, with 3 missions instead of the usual 5, a boss mission and a bonus mission after capturing the Boos in the area.
This mansion is located on a snowy mountain, which causes the mansion to be frozen over, inside and out. As the name implies, the mansion was built near a now abandoned mining area, which Luigi explores. Professor E. Gadd sends Luigi to the Chalet where a group of Toads were studying the ghosts. When Luigi finds a Blue Toad, the Toad causes the ice to break by dancing, and they drop into a cave. Aside from the ghosts, this is also home to a few Fuzzballs that follow Luigi, but do not actually hurt him.
History
The mine near the Chalet was originally a secret mining project run by an unnamed company. It is unknown why the mines were abandoned but years of neglect have caused it to become flooded with snow and ice. The mine contains crystals with special properties. One of the properties of the crystals is that they strengthen ghosts that go inside the crystals for a certain amount of time. The Boos collect a large amount of crystals and take them elsewhere. At the bottom of the mine Luigi encounters several Boos where they strengthen up normal ghosts, causing them to become more powerful and gain white crystal markings all over the body.

Missions
| Mission | Image | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| D-1 | Cold Case | 
|
I can’t seem to get a hold of my Toad assistant at the Chalet. He’s probably napping in front of the fireplace again. It’s hard to find good help these days! |
| D-2 | Hit Rock Bottom | 
|
According to the Toad assistant, ghosts—Boos especially—have been very active in the mine. Perhaps the security photo will tell us what they’re up to. |
| D-3 | Across the Chasm | 
|
Success! The Parascope has located both the Dark Moon piece and the possessor that has it. But you’ll have to cross the chasm and reach the other side to find them! |
| Boss | Chilly Ride | 
|
Bingo! I’ve found the possessor ghost hiding in the Workshop! And if we’ve learned anything, it’s that where there are possessors, there are Dark Moon pieces! |
| Bonus | Severe Infestation | 
|
We have an infestation on our hands! The Parascope is detecting strong paranormal signals throughout the Secret Mine. It’s go time, Luigi! |
