- “Why, these cozy quarters are where I do my ghost-studying. Professor E. Gadd's Ghost research laboratory! The Lab, if you're of a shortening mind.”
- —Professor E. Gadd, Luigi's Mansion
The lab (originally capitalized) is a recurring location in the 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 ghosts and gems collected.
History[edit]
Luigi's Mansion[edit]
The Lab first appears in Luigi's Mansion and in its remake. Besides the main room, the Lab also consists of the Portrificationizer Chamber, which houses the Ghost Portrificationizer, the Gallery, where the portrait ghosts caught are kept, and the 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 Boos. This is also where E. Gadd asks the player where they want to go; to the Mansion, the Training Room, the Gallery, or, once the game is beaten, the 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 / Luigi's Mansion 2 HD[edit]
- "Bunker" redirects here. For the terrain in the Mario Golf series, see List of golfing terms § Bunker.
- “You seem a bit tense, son. Relax! We're perfectly safe here in this impenetrable 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 ghosts 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 gems are stored. The Bunker's interior can briefly be seen in the 3DS remake of Luigi's Mansion during the call from the future E. Gadd.
Luigi's Mansion 3[edit]
- “Heh Heh Heh! Welcome to my 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
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 of The Last Resort after Luigi rescues him and captures 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 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 Bones, Boo Finders, and Gem Finders 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 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 roof of the hotel. He then destroys the lab and traps E. Gadd and all of the Toads in a painting.

Notes[edit]
- 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.
- In The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Bowser Jr.'s control room for his obstacle course on Planet Bowser takes several visual cues from the Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon iteration of the lab. He refers to it as a "next-level" setup, referencing that game's developer, Next Level Games.
