Talk:Luigi's Mansion

I love this game. Beat it a million times. I actually had the np guide a month before I got the game... lol I can't find said guide, but I would love to help. H K


 * I think I'll help out too, if you want me to. I have the player's guide, instruction manual, the game, and a notebook full of notes about the game that I need to upload. Unfortunately, I have so many notes to upload about other games I haven't gotten around to Luigi's Mansion yet. I could switch my focus if needed. --Son of Suns 14:44, 19 July 2006 (EDT)


 * I have the NP Guide at home (I'm on vacation), but I remember it pretty well...here's some things I thought about:


 * Money. Gold coins, bills, gems, diamonds, pearls. Tell how much is each (don't know the blue, red, and green gems exactly). Probably explain how to get both gold diamonds.
 * All 23 gallery ghosts. In fact, the NP Guide has the name of the common ghosts, that's something one of us can add later.
 * Elemental Medals
 * Controls is something I always like to include, like how to use the flashlight effectively w/ B and tugging.

How about I add controls, directly after storyline, and the two of you work on another aspect. Wayoshi 14:50, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

I'll find that guide soon. ( I hope.) And figure out what to do. H K


 * I can work on portrait ghosts and common ghosts, maybe even the elemental medals. --Son of Suns 14:52, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Umm.... I'm gonna..... work on..... something..... else..... I can't find that guide. Its lost to the basement's maw! H K

This is so awesome. Mega collaborative work. And its an important article. I love this. H K

Ill work on the overview section at the top. H K

Sounds good, Son of Suns, since you are the only one that has the guide right now. Now I'm going to list all the money in the game, I'll use normal Wikipedia's article to help. Wayoshi 15:12, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

*Shudders at Wikipedia* I just thought of a side project for Bowser that is loosely tied to this. Very loosely. H K

I feel like I haven't done anything substantial on this project. H K

Overview
Wouldn't this mark the second time Luigi is the star. I mean I know what it says, but isn't important if its the second EXACTLY? H K


 * Yes. Luigi was the star of Mario is Missing, where he had to save Mario for the first time. --Son of Suns 15:06, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Wasn't this game hinted at in Luigi's diary in paper mario? H K

Awaiting some feedback on the diary thing. Or would that be trivia? H K


 * It would be trivia, but I can't confirm the info. --Son of Suns 15:38, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Wasn't it a launch title? H K
 * Yes. --Son of Suns 15:33, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Controls
Don't forget the different modes of control! H K
 * That's right, Sidestep! Thank you. Wayoshi 15:12, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Story
Didn't Mario just get there first? I don't remember Luigi having Mario go first to check it out. I could have a faulty memory, however. H K


 * Luigi called Mario and said (paraphrase) "hey I won this mansion, let's go there". Mario and Toad simply arrived first (since Luigi and Mario were in two different locations). --Son of Suns 15:51, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Hey, I know you won't know, an I ask this to be humorous, but where was Luigi? Before he went to the mansion. H K


 * Well, this is pure speculation but maybe he was at Mario's Pad, the cottage house, while Mario was at Peach's Castle. Mario did arrive with Toad afterall. --Son of Suns 16:00, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Portrait Ghosts
Is Glutton optional? I thought he was required. Isn't the upside-down girl the only ghost who is optional? H K
 * Nope. You can walk right into the kitchen. Any gallery ghost that produces a silver diamond and two gold bars, or any other green treasure chest, are optional. That includes the muscle ghost...the billiards ghost...Jarvis and a couple of others. The Toy Soldiers are required because the toy house opens upon lighting the room. Wayoshi 15:24, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Alright. Cool. Just wonderin. H K

The Money
What about dollar bills? H K
 * Listed as "Bill" in player's guide. Worth 20,000G. --Son of Suns 17:23, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Oh. Sorry missed it! H K

Should we make a template out of all the money when we create their separate articles? Wayoshi 17:25, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Probably, but that definitley won't be my job. Sorry. I did change the gold bar page, though. H K What about a new category? "Luigi's Mansion Money?" Wayoshi 17:27, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

That I can do! H K

Better idea! H K

Money Subcategory for items, subsubcategory for Lm money H K

Um... How do I make a subcategory? H K


 * Make a normal category, then on the category page, put the larger category in the page. Ex: Make Luigi Mansion Money Category, then on that page, place a Money Category link. --Son of Suns 17:44, 19 July 2006 (EDT)


 * I created the category "Mansion Treasures" and put it under Category: Coins . Coins is the closest to Money, and in the description it called Coins currency. Wayoshi 20:24, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

I was gonna do that.... I had to eat dinner! H K

Next Stage
Still left:


 * There's a lot of new articles ahead, all enemies in the mansion (they are all ghosts, so they go into the Undead Category ). I have made articles on most of the money (Mansion Treasures) except for pearls, which I'll do first thing when I return.
 * Elemental Medals, Son of Suns is in charge.
 * So you can get involved, HK, can you add the House Rankings, from A to H? 100,000,000G to 5,000G (I've always wanted to get Rank H, but ignoring all money is...hard for me).
 * Trivia. Such as the highest money possible is 142,390,000, composed of...(I have the details from another guy's run somewhere...), etc.

We're well on our way to making a complete page, with tens of articles branching off of it. Cheers to the three of us! Wayoshi 01:09, 20 July 2006 (EDT)

I got rank H once. It was funny to go from mansion to tent. But yeah, I'll make a list from A-H, and how much money each is. H K
