Luigi's Mansion (video game)

This article is about the GameCube game Luigi's Mansion. For the mansion itself, see Luigi's Mansion (location).

Luigi's Mansion is the second game to have Luigi star as main character, and the first Mario game for the Nintendo GameCube. The game focuses on Luigi as he battles many ghosts in a haunted mansion to save Mario using the Poltergust 3000, a vacuum erected by Professor E. Gadd for sucking in ghosts. The first game to have Luigi as the main character is Mario is Missing!. An upcoming sequel called Luigi's Mansion 2 is said to be released in 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS.

Story
The Story begins with Luigi winning a contest for a Mansion. Mario goes to check out the Mansion and tells Luigi he'll meet him there. As Mario checks out the mansion, ghosts and King Boo ambush him and seal him inside a picture. After Mario doesn't come back, Luigi goes to check the Mansion. He goes inside the mansion to see a hazy orange light with what looks like a key. It rises up and humerously bumps into the chandalier, dropping the key. It then escapes to a room up the stairs. Luigi picks up the key and unlocks the room, only to be ambushed by an orange ghost which was the orange light he saw earlier. Suddenly, the ghost starts getting sucked in by something and Luigi turns to see Professor E. Gadd. The ghost drags him around the room and punches him to get away. They go back to his lab where the professor gives Luigi the Poltergust 3000 and tells him about what happened to Mario. After Luigi goes deeper into the mansion, he comes across a storage room where he presses a button that releases all of the Boos and King Boo himself. But King Boo sees Luigi carrying the Poltergust 3000 and he and all the other Boos run away. King Boo stays in a secret room for the rest of the game, up until the final boss fight, where he too was captured and turned into a painting.
