The '''lab''' (originally capitalized) is a recurring location in the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]], serving as a base for [[Professor E. Gadd]]. When in the lab, Luigi can talk to E. Gadd, as well as look at [[ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] and [[gem]]s collected.

==History==
===''Luigi's Mansion''===
{{LM lab map}}

The Lab first appears in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and in [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. Besides the main room, the Lab also consists of the [[Portrificationizer Chamber]], which houses the [[Ghost Portrificationizer]], the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], where the [[portrait ghost]]s caught are kept, and the [[Training Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Training Room]].

It is here that [[Professor E. Gadd]] informs [[Luigi]] about the mansion and its ghosts near the beginning of the game, and later provides information on [[Boo]]s. This is also where E. Gadd asks the player where they want to go; to the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Mansion]], the [[Training Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Training Room]], the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], or, once the game is beaten, the [[Luigi's Mansion#Hidden Mansion|Hidden Mansion]]. In the remake, when E. Gadd asks Luigi for the first time what he wants to do, he receives a call from the future E. Gadd, who presents to him [[Gooigi]], a copy of Luigi that can be used in co-op play.

It is implied that the lab is located underneath a small shed outside the Mansion's property, as there is a ladder leading out of the lab's main room and the professor is seen waving at Luigi while standing near the shed during the cutscene that plays whenever Luigi leaves the lab for the Mansion. 
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, the camera has a different angle to fit with the screen and show the second player.

===''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''===

{{quote|You seem a bit tense, [[Luigi|son]]. Relax! We're perfectly safe here in this impenetrable {{color|orange|Bunker}}.|Professor E. Gadd|Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon}}
The lab in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' is referred to as the '''Bunker''', and serves as [[Professor E. Gadd]]'s shelter after the [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]]s of [[Evershade Valley]] become hostile. The Bunker has a dome-shaped exterior modeled after E. Gadd's head, and its interior features several monitors and an assortment of technological equipment. From the Bunker, E. Gadd uses the [[Pixelator]] to send Luigi to the various mansions of the valley. A platform in the floor takes [[Luigi]] to [[E. Gadd's Vault]], where captured ghosts, money, and [[gem]]s are stored. The Bunker's interior can briefly be seen in the [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|3DS remake]] of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' during the call from the future E. Gadd.

===''Luigi's Mansion 3''===
{{quote|Heh Heh Heh! Welcome to my {{color|goldenrod|lab}}! This is another of my brilliant inventions—a portable laboratory! It's sturdy, safe, and air conditioned!|Professor E. Gadd|Luigi's Mansion 3}}
[[File:LM3 lab small.jpg|thumb|250px|Professor E. Gadd holding the lab in ''Luigi's Mansion 3'']]
In ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', the lab reappears using a similar design to the previous game. However, it is a portable laboratory which can be carried in a small size. E. Gadd   sets it up in the [[Garage (Luigi's Mansion 3)|garage]] of [[The Last Resort]] after Luigi rescues him and captures [[Steward (Luigi's Mansion 3)|Steward]]. While in the lab, Luigi has access to all of the features of the [[Virtual Boo]], such as talking to E. Gadd, changing settings, and viewing a map of the hotel. Additionally, Luigi can view the ghost and gems collected in the gallery, and access the [[ScareScraper]] and [[ScreamPark]].

After obtaining the [[The Great Stage|fourth floor]]'s [[elevator button]] from the [[Mezzanine]] and returning it to the elevator, E. Gadd introduces the Shopping Network, which allows Luigi to buy [[Gold Bone]]s, [[Boo Finder]]s, and [[Gem Finder]]s for 1000G apiece. He also gives the Luigi the ability to warp to the lab from anywhere in the hotel instead of having to travel back to the garage. However, he cannot do this if he is escorting a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] or there are ghosts after him.

At the end of the game, the lab is attacked by [[King Boo]], who uses his crown's power to carry it to the [[Rooftop (Luigi's Mansion 3)|roof]] of the hotel. He then destroys the lab and traps E. Gadd and all of the Toads in a painting.

==Trivia==
*In ''Luigi's Mansion'', there is a tall, wooden ladder in the Lab that can only be barely seen in-game. Through cheat codes, Luigi is able to actually climb the ladder up to the top through a tall, vertical tunnel, but the ladder does not lead to any other area.
