'''Luigi's Mansion''' is a huge mansion that [[Luigi]] first encounters in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] game [[Luigi's Mansion|of the same name]]. Luigi win's the mansion in a contest (that he hadn't even enterted) and asks his brohter to meet him there to celebrate. When he get's there, Luigi finds that the mansion is haunted and Mario has been kidnapped. Luigi uses the [[Poltergust 3000]] he gets from Professer E. Gadd to suck up [[Boo]]s, [[Portrait Ghost]]s, [[Blue Mouse (ghost)|Mouse Ghosts]] and other ghosts, all in order to find [[Mario]].

== History ==

=== ''Luigi's Mansion'' ===

Towards the beginning of the game, [[Professor Elvin Gadd]] revealed to Luigi that the mansion was built by ghosts who had deceived Luigi. At the end of the game Luigi's Mansion is destroyed and rebuilt into a [[Luigi's NEW Mansion|nicer form]] using Luigi's money collected by the [[player]] throughout the game. 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 alternate version of the mansion known as the '''Hidden Mansion''', which can be played 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 [[Boo]]s are stronger. The [[Poltergust 3000]] is roughly 1.5 times more powerful in the Hidden Mansion.

[[King Boo]] had a plan to get rid of the Mario Bros. (apparently due to the trouble they had caused him in the past), so he captured Mario and trapped him in the mansion. 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.

Luigi's Mansion is also the name for certain racing courses found in the ''[[Mario Kart]]'' series. The courses take place in the big house of [[Luigi]] and surroundings, showing as well the environment as seen in the game ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. The Luigi's Mansion course has appeared in two ''Mario Kart'' games so far, which one would be an alternative to replace the [[Luigi Circuit]], from many Mario racing installments.

====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====

[[Image:MKDD_Luigi'sMansion.jpg|thumb|left|Luigi's Mansion as a battle course.]]

The Luigi's Mansion course appeared for first time in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as an unlockable stage. In the game, it was actually a battle course that contained a winding maze of three floors. The second floor is a wide room where all the racers start their battle. The first floor is a corridor where it is possible to place some traps down, specially near to the [[Item Box]]es scattered in the hall. The third floor is actually the roof terrace, what, unlike the other zones, does not have Item Boxes. The center of the terrace is a gap where the racers fall directly to the second floor. All the floors are connected together by bended corridors, three leading to the first floor and one to the terrace. Some of the specters' portraits from the game ''Luigi's Mansion'' appear within the stage.

====''Mario Kart DS''====

[[Image:Luigi's Mansion.PNG|thumb|right|Luigi's Mansion as seen in ''Mario Kart DS''.]]

In the game ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Luigi's Mansion is the last racecourse of the [[Mushroom Cup]]. Outside the mansion is [[Boo Woods]] which has a graveyard surrounding the mansion and beyond it, a swamp of mud with strange walking trees.  When a character runs into one of these trees, instead of spinning out or bowl over, the character instead will just get stuck on the tree as if it were a wall.

Racers start outside the mansion in a section of Boo Woods, they will go through a curl path to the entrance of the [[Luigi's mansion|mansion]], running along of a narrow hall that leads the racers downwards to a room beneath the lobby. Characters then go out of the house, crossing a stone path tunnel, where they reach to the graveyard, leaving the mansion. Finally, racers end crossing the swamp to cross the checked line.

The [[Mario Kart DS#Mission Mode|missions]] 1-6 and 2-4 take place on this course, with [[Luigi]] driving in all of them.

==== ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' ====

While the mansion is never seen in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' it is alluded to after the eruption of [[Thwomp Volcano]]. The volcano destroys the young Professor E. Gadd's lab at the base of the volcano, prompting him to ponder moving his research to Boo Woods. While also never seen, it is presumed that Boo Woods is the location of his lab seen in ''Luigi's Mansion''.

===''Mario Tennis'' series===

==== ''Mario Power Tennis'' ====

[[Image:MPTLuigimansion.jpg|thumb|right|'''Luigi's Mansion Court'''.]]

[[Image:MPT_Luigi'sMansionCourt.jpg|left|thumb|A match in session.]]

'''Luigi's Mansion Court''' is a default court in ''[[Mario Power Tennis (GCN)|Mario Power Tennis]]'', and is likely set in the [[Courtyard]]. There are numerous ghosts watching the game. In the normal version of this court, it is set on a concrete field, with no real gimmicks in it. In the gimmick version, on occasion, a ghost will appear on either side of the court, and start harassing the player(s). This will slow them down, and they will also have a tough time hitting the ball at the right time as well. However, if a player lands the ball onto the mid-back space on the court (which has a picture of a lightbulb on it), all the ghosts on the other side of the court will disappear. The [[Mini-Game]] [[Terror Tennis]] is held on this court.

==== ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ====

[[Image:LMansionBrawl.jpg|thumb|Luigi's Mansion in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]

In ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]'', Luigi's Mansion is an unlockable battle stage. The stage shows 5 rooms from ''Luigi's Mansion'', and the mansion itself is destructible. Players can destroy a part of it by attacking the poles in the seperate rooms. 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. Also, if all the players are not in any of the rooms and the mansion is whole, it shows the front of the mansion.

==== ''Mario Super Sluggers'' ====

Luigi's Mansion is a playable stadium in [[Mario Super Sluggers]]. The stadium is located in the backyard of the mansion itself, and features gravestones located throughout an over-grown outfield. Coming within a certain range of the stone causes a generic ghost from the mansion to attack the player. It can only be accessed by playing nighttime game. It can be entered when the player purchases Luigi's Flashlight for 300 coins from the [[Mario Stadium (baseball)|Mario Stadium]] shop. Also, grass hides the ball.

The stadium's mini-game is called [[Ghost K]]. It involves the player throwing balls at colored ghosts in attempt to get the highest score.

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 [[crow]]s 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 [[Key]]s 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 club shape on its door, Area Four has a diamond shape on its door, and the Secret Altar has a spade shape on its door.
