Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)

Luigi's Mansion is a remake of the Nintendo GameCube game of the same name released in 2018 for the Nintendo 3DS. It was first announced in a Nintendo Direct presentation broadcast on March 8, 2018 and initially released in North America on October 12, 2018, a week later in Europe and Oceania, and the following month on November 8 in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong. Among the new features, the remake includes a map that appears in the bottom screen of the Nintendo 3DS, as well as a redesigned Gallery with a Boss Rush mode that allows players to battle against already defeated portrait ghosts. The game can be played in single player or multiplayer alongside a slime-themed Luigi, dubbed Gooigi, brought from the future by E. Gadd.

List of changes

 * The box art updates Luigi's model. His torso is more visible, his individual mustache hairs are defined and his clothes have simple detailing, his cap receives more shadows and hides more of the "L", Luigi overall resembles his current appearance since Mario Party 4, and the Boos have the additional two teeth from their current appearance like in the sequel. The text is also shifted, causing the Gold Ghost and Boo in the background to be more visible.
 * The game has amiibo compatibility for up to four amiibo figures consisting of Luigi, Mario, Toad, and Boo, which can be used to revive health if it reaches zero and help spot Speedy Spirits, cause Super Mushrooms to appear instead of Poison Mushrooms from enemies and such for health, can help refill Luigi's HP while talking to Toad, and can be used to easily track down nearby Boos respectively.
 * There are no counters on the save file showing how many times the game has been completed. Instead, it shows only the progress of the original and Hidden Mansion modes.
 * Pressing X will not let the player choose a file to erase (or Y to copy). The player needs to choose a file and select Erase the File (or Copy Data).
 * While in The Lab, there are more options to choose from, now consisting of: "The Mansion," "The Hidden Mansion," "The Gallery," "Save," "amiibo," and "Play Co-op."
 * The remake's overall walking style and design resembles that of the sequel rather than the original game.
 * The lightning behind the Mansion is purple-colored and brighter.
 * There are more trees in front of the Mansion's front yard and grounds outside of the gate.

 * Less dust is expelled while Luigi is walking.
 * The player controls the direction Luigi is facing and the Game Boy Horror's first person screen by using the 3DS' gyroscope rather than.
 * There are now two control methods to catch ghosts: the flashlight, which is similar to the GameCube version, and the Strobulb, which is similar to Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. The Circle Pad Pro accessory can be used on a regular Nintendo 3DS to play the game as well.
 * Luigi can go back to The Lab any time by opening the mansion's front door within the Foyer. However, this is impossible during the blackout; instead, it will show a message if attempting to leave: "...The door is locked by a mysterious force."
 * If Luigi attempts to open up a locked door, there is an animation of Luigi showing confusion.
 * The glass around the Parlor doors has a different design.

 * Totaka's Song can now only be heard on the screen where the player chooses a control method for the first time.
 * Gold Ghosts pop out of the Training Room's green pipes as orbs instead of full fledged ghosts, similar to the Gold Ghost carrying the Parlor door key in the Foyer at the beginning of the game.
 * The first half of Totaka's Song is heard slightly in the Gallery.
 * The brand new Gallery area can be used to battle already beaten portrait ghosts for the Boss Rush mode either in single player or in multiplayer alongside Gooigi, who has 50 HP.
 * If the player gets a Game Over in Portrait Battle, the screen will say "Too Bad..." instead of "Good Night".
 * Ghost paintings have been redesigned.
 * E. Gadd's "Famous Ghost Collection" (not including Boolossus and King Boo) was composed of 25 paintings, four more than in the original version.
 * The Gallery now lets Luigi view all the portraits of the portrait ghosts from the bottom to top depending on either the size of pearls dropped or health lost in battle.
 * Players can now unlock achievements by completing certain tasks in the game.
 * The search tool on the Game Boy Horror needs to be obtained by Luigi in the Gallery.
 * Room names are displayed on the top screen upon entering a room, despite already being said on the lower touch screen, along with currency and ghosts captured.
 * Toad's voice is redubbed for the 3DS remake, as his original voice actress, Jen Taylor, was replaced by Samantha Kelly.
 * There are cutscenes for when vines appear or disappear on doors, along with a cutscene for Spooky's doghouse in the Boneyard.

 * The generator in the Breaker Room now has an animation of the pressure arrows moving when it is active.
 * Gold Bones return to provide Luigi with extra lives.

 * The Area doors lack vines and their emblems will illuminate and go faint repeatedly once their respective keys has been achieved and are trying to be opened.
 * There is a different painting in the first-floor Washroom.
 * The Boo icon that shows how many Boos are captured is from Super Mario Maker instead of an original sprite.
 * The Luigi icon on the map is from Super Mario Maker replacing the Luigi sprite from the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. from the original.
 * Elemental Ghosts are more transparent.
 * A unused voice clip from within the original game's files, "Nice Doggy!", can be heard in the remake when Luigi is in the Boneyard talking to Spooky.

 * The lights in the Balcony (3F) are purple-colored during the Boolossus fight.

 * The pillars on the roof now have plants, though they cannot be watered.
 * The Secret Altar has lion heads with a different design.
 * The Mario painting in the Secret Altar is an oil painting style, much like his painting in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, rather than the blurred style in the original game.
 * Mario's dialog box is colored red instead of purple, with his head displayed beside the text.
 * The dialog boxes (as well as the text and the head of the character who talks) have been enlarged, with the boxes taking up the full width of the screen instead of using a smaller rectangle at the top left corner.
 * All the ghosts has now their own dialog box with their head instead of a headless purple one.
 * Players have an option to skip the King Boo intro cutscene before the final battle begins by pressing ; however, this is only possible if the player quits the game after seeing the cutscene, was defeated while battling the final boss, or when entering the cutscene the first time in Hidden Mansion mode.
 * The Roof's fiery backdrop includes a swirling tornado of fire speeding across the area. In addition, its pillars are more intricately designed and the plants on top of them are purple-colored.
 * The Bowser suit's model has been revamped to maintain his current proportions.
 * There is an audible sound that plays whenever the Bowser suit adjusts its head.
 * The Bowser suit now has a new animation for when its head is detached: instead of its body standing in a dazed position, it raises its arms upon losing its head before slumping down to the ground.
 * King Boo now visibly wriggles his way out of the Bowser suit as opposed to simply exiting it.
 * Speedy Spirits that have not been captured do not reappear during the the blackout.
 * The Hidden Mansion has received several changes:
 * The ability to drain ghost's HP much faster is removed.
 * All ghosts, including Portrait Ghosts and Boos, have more HP (their base HP have been multiplied by 1.5, which allows Luigi to obtain more pearls from Portrait Ghosts).
 * Powerful ghosts appear more often in dark rooms (except during the blackout).
 * Hearts are replaced by Poison Mushrooms, though the player can still get hearts by catching two or more ghosts.
 * For unknown reasons, however, there is a chance that a heart will appear during the King Boo battle when Bowser destroys a pillar.
 * Speedy Spirit locations have been changed.
 * Blue Mouse, Purple Mouse and Flying Fish (pink and green) will appear in some dark rooms, making catching ghosts more difficult.
 * Sparks will appear on the left side of the F1 hallway.
 * Mario's item locations have been changed, except his star, which is in the same location in the Observatory.
 * Platinum Portrait Ghosts can now be obtained, under stricter conditions.
 * Bosses are more difficult: Chauncey and Boolossus have the same battle effects from the PAL GameCube release, Bogmire will appear for a few seconds before reappearing at another spot, and King Boo's spike bombs will explode seconds upon being thrown the first time, while they may or may not explode the second time.
 * S rank is a new rank, making it the highest rank in the remake instead of the A rank as in the original game, though much like the A rank, can only be achieved in the Hidden Mansion due to more pearls and such being thrown out by portrait ghosts.
