Luigi's Mansion 3 is an action-adventure game for the Nintendo Switch, it is the third installment in the Luigi's Mansion series where the events appear to take place after the second game, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It was announced on a Nintendo Direct on September 13, 2018, and was released wordwide on Halloween for 2019.

Unlike its predecessors, the game takes place in a hotel run by ghosts rather than an actual mansion. Like the previous main installment, it was developed by Next Level Games. The game is 7.3 GB in file size, though it can be expanded with downloadable content (DLC).

Gameplay[]

Like the previous installments in the Luigi's Mansion series, the player will control Luigi who is armed with a Poltergust device that is used to capture ghosts. Luigi's Mansion 3 gameplay is similar both Luigi's Mansion and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

Plot[]

Entering the hotel[]

Luigi, Mario, Princess Peach, and the Toads ride on Peach's bus to the hotel. Polterpup appeared next to Luigi, he read the letter from the hotel. When the van arrived at the hotel's destination, everyone gets off the bus.[1] The crew is welcomed by Hellen Gravely, the owner of the hotel. Shortly everyone retreats to their rooms and Luigi goes to sleep.

The first night[]

Luigi is awoken in the middle of the night to Princess Peach's screams, so he cautiously goes out into the corridor to investigate. Much to his surprise, she is not in her room, so he begins to make his way back to his room. The hotel owner and King Boo intercept him, possessing a painting in which all of his friends are trapped. King Boo explains that Hellen had freed him and now he was ready to enact his revenge on him and his friends for capturing him twice (in the previous Luigi's Mansion games). Luigi panics and flees from the scene, chased after by King Boo, who chases Luigi down the hallway but he escapes via the laundry chute.

Meeting Polter Pup[]

After safely landing in a laundry basket, he decides to explore the laundry rooms in search of his captured friends. There he encounters Polter Pup -
