Talk:Lab (Luigi's Mansion 3)
Bunker and Lab
Turns out the Lab in LM3 has the same Japanese name of "Base Lab" as the Bunker from LM2. Considering how very similar they look, this seems to be intended as a recurring location of sorts, even if they're probably not literally the same physical object. Now, I won't be proposing a merge or anything, with the LM2 remake on the way, I just ask that it joins Boolossus (and possibly the pest enemies) in the "we shall see" pile. (By the way, just in case this comes up, it appears both games' scripts were written in Japanese first and then translated into English, despite the games being developed by NLG) Blinker (talk) 17:01, October 25, 2023 (EDT)
- Keep it in the "We shall see" pile for now. Japan may have just come up with it for convenience purposes. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 11:20, November 2, 2023 (EDT)
- Well, LM2 has been renamed, but the remake uses pretty much the same script as the original, so nothing new there. I don't think there's anything more for "we" to "shall see", I doubt this is every going to get revisited, so... might as well pick this up now, hm? By the way, regarding my assertion above that "it appears both games' scripts were written in Japanese first and then translated into English", while that's the case for LM3, it's really not clear how LM2 was written. The English and Japanese scripts are so different that it feels like they were written simultaneously. But that doesn't actually matter, because LM3 was the game to bring back the bunker/lab.

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD released and the game's script is largely the same, so nothing has changed. I decided to go ahead and make a proposal for this anyway. Here's the situation:
- In Luigi's Mansion 2, a small building appears known as "Bunker" in English and "Base Lab" in Japanese (the two scripts appear to have been written in parallel, or something along those lines, leading to differences like this, but the Bunker is a new element in the series, so the different names are okay). It is a small dome-shaped building designed after E. Gadd's head.
- In Luigi's Mansion 3, the "Lab" has a very similar-looking interior and exterior to the previous game's "Bunker". It also serves a very similar role, of course. Additionally, the Lab's Japanese name is also "Base Lab". Now, the game's writing is credited to "Ryunosuke Suzuki", which, alongside the much closer scripts, seems to mean that, unlike the previous game, LM3 was written in Japanese first and then translated to English. This seems to explain why the "Bunker" name was not reused.
- Now, despite the similarities between the two, they're still clearly different physical structures. However, considering the comprehensiveness of pages like Bowser's Castle, I don't think that is an issue. It is still a recurring element in the series.
Given all this, I would like to merge the two pages (although to be honest I have no idea what a suitable identifier would be...). Anyways, please let me know if I've missed something, but I think that's it.
