Template:Infobox Luigi's Mansion is one of the first games released for the Nintendo GameCube, as it was was released in November of 2001. It also marks the second time where Luigi is the main character, with Mario playing a supporting role. Professor E. Gadd is also introduced in this game.
Storyline
Luigi had always been accustomed to Mario being in the spotlight for a long time. That's why he's surprised when he wins a free mansion in a contest he didn't even enter! Letting Mario enter first to check it out, Luigi follows behind and enters to find a dark, creepy foyer. Soon an orange spirit drops a key...could it be a ghost? Upon entering the parlor, Luigi finds E. Gadd and three ghosts! Gadd explains that the house appeared just a few days ago and Mario must have been captured by the spirits. With Gadd's Poltergust 3000, Luigi must now take center stage to save his brother!
Controls
Luigi's Mansion has some interesting controls that shaped the Nintendo Gamecube controller (according to interviews in the Nintendo Players' Guide) The Poltergust 3000 is controlled by pressing and holding the R button. When the ghost(s) are being sucked, the player must tug the control stick in the opposite direction of the nozzle to take away HP. The player can move only the Poltergust but not Luigi with the C stick, most helpful in capturing the sneaky Boos.
The A button examines objects or makes Luigi call out for Mario (how he says it depends on Luigi's health). The B button controls Luigi's flashlight in dark areas. Ghosts are naturally afraid of the light, and will freeze for a short time when Luigi points the flashlight at them. The trick to capturing ghosts is holding the B button to turn off the flashlight, then let the ghosts come close, then release B. The ghosts stop right in front of the Poltergust, where the player can now suck them up with R. Finally, the L button emits an element once you get an Elemental Medal: Fire, Water or Ice.
