Luigi's Mansion in all its creepy glory.

Luigi's Mansion is a huge mansion that Luigi must go through in the GameCube game of the same name. Luigi uses a Poltergust 3000 to suck up the Boos, Portrait Ghosts, Mouse Ghosts and other ghosts, all in order to find Mario, who had gone missing.

Appearances

Luigi's Mansion

Towards the beginning of the game, Professor Elvin Gadd revealed to Luigi that the mansion was built the ghosts who had deceived Luigi; by the end of the game, Luigi's Mansion was destroyed and, with the funding Luigi had collected on his adventures, rebuilt in a considerably nicer form, which varied depending on the amount of money collected by the player during the game time. (Inexplicably, the new mansion has only reappeared as a cameo in the background of the Luigi Circuit course in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, while the regular, now-ruined mansion has reappeared several times). There is also a harder version of the mansion known as the Hidden Mansion, which can be chosen after Luigi defeats King Boo. The Hidden Mansion is rather similar to the normal mansion of the game, but the entire mansion is mirrored from the normal one, and the ghosts and Boos are stronger. The Poltergust 3000 is about 1.5 times more powerful in the Hidden Mansion.

This mansion was created by Boos. King Boo had a plan to get rid of the Mario Bros. (apparently due to the trouble they'd caused him in the past), so he captured Mario. He also sent a fake note about winning the mansion in a contest to lure Luigi inside the mansion, but Luigi (as aforementioned) ended King Boo's plan and destroyed the mansion. Luigi's Mansion looks like a stereotypical haunted mansion (therefore resembling places such as Big Boo's Haunt and Boo's Mansion), though it is perhaps interesting to note that Luigi's Mansion's two, yellow-lit windows bear resemblance to eyes if the porch is to be thought of as a mouth, making the mansion look rather alive.

Mario Kart series

Luigi's Mansion has made a few reappearances most notably in the Mario Kart series; it has been seen in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, where it is a battle course, and Mario Kart DS, where it and what is thought to be Boo Woods (see below) is a race course.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

It has been requested that this article be rewritten.

While the mansion is never seen in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (for it appeared in an instant a few days before Luigi came), its location is implied as "Boo Woods", as Young Elvin Gadd states that he wishes to start another laboratory (after his past one was ruined by the eruption of Thwomp Volcano) at said forest, and his newer lab was seen in chronologically later games as right next to the then to-be-built Luigi's Mansion. However, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'s aforementioned cameo appearance of Luigi's NEW Mansion seems to create inconsistencies with this, as it showed the NEW Mansion, which is thought to be on the same site as the original Luigi's Mansion, as being in Luigi Circuit, which is almost devoid of trees and other woodland features.

Mario Power Tennis

Luigi's Mansion also made a cameo in Mario Power Tennis where it is in the background of the Luigi's Mansion court and Terror Tennis mini-game.

Mario Hoops 3 on 3

It even appears in Mario Hoops 3 on 3 as the second playable court in the Flower Tourney. Ghosts abound on the court and will grab the ball should it cross their path. Players must jump to grab the ball back. Interesting to note is that the baskets on this court are attached to ornate chandeliers.

Luigi's Mansion in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros Brawl, Luigi's Mansion is an unlockable battle stage. The stage shows the Foyer and other areas, and the mansion itself is destructible. Players can destroy a part of it by attacking different poles. When a player does this a few Boos will appear and then quickly fade away. If players destroy all the poles, the stage will just be flat. Later, the stage will rebuild itself. The music is a remixed version of the main theme for Luigi's Mansion.

Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

A big, creepy mansion in the heart of a gloomy forest. It was given to Luigi, who found its many rooms (including a dining room, kitchen, rec room, projection room, music room, and tea room) were infested with ghosts. Luigi was supposed to meet Mario here, but his bro went missing. Not known for his bravery, Luigi gathered his courage and set out to explore his new home.

Trivia

• Luigi's Mansion is mentioned by one of the crows in Twilight Town in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
• The Foyer of the mansion appears in the Mansion Patrol mini-game of Super Paper Mario. The Foyer is here depicted as black and lined with empty portraits, making it look rather different than its other depictions, though the Nintendo Power player's guide for Super Paper Mario actually referred to it directly as "a Luigi's Mansion foyer".
• The area keys and the key to the Secret Altar of Luigi's Mansion resemble playing card symbols. As such, area two has a heart shape on its door, area three has a clover shape on its door, area four has a diamond shape on its door, and the Secret Altar has a spade shape on its door.
