Secret Mine

The Secret Mine is the fourth mansion that Luigi goes to in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. This is the shortest mansion mission-wise, with three missions instead of the usual five, a boss mission, and a bonus mission after the player captures the Boos in the area.

This mansion is located on a snowy mountain, which causes the mansion to be frozen over, inside and out. As the name implies, the mansion was built near a now-abandoned mining area, which Luigi explores. Professor E. Gadd sends Luigi to the Chalet, where a group of Toads was studying the ghosts. When Luigi finds a blue Toad, the Toad causes the ice to break by dancing, and they drop into a cave. Aside from the ghosts, this is also home to a few fuzzballs that follow Luigi but do not actually hurt him.

History
The mine near the Chalet was originally a secret mining project run by an unnamed company. It is unknown why the mines were abandoned, but years of neglect have caused it to become flooded with snow and ice. The mine contains crystals with special properties. One of the properties of the crystals is that they strengthen ghosts that go inside the crystals for a certain amount of time. The Boos collect a large number of crystals and take them elsewhere. At the bottom of the mine, Luigi encounters several Boos where they strengthen up normal ghosts, causing them to become more powerful and gain white crystal markings all over the body.
