Crown (King Boo): Difference between revisions

The '''crown'''<ref>''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Prima Official Game Guide'', page 265.</ref> is the final piece of jewelry that belongs to [[King Boo]] that [[Luigi]] collects before he saves [[Mario]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. In the game, the crown holds a red diamond at the top. Officially, King Boo's crown also counts as a [[Red Diamond (Luigi's Mansion)|Red Diamond]], making it worth the same amount as a single [[coin]]. King Boo's crown is the only unit of money in the game that must be collected, so it is possible but unlikely to get only 5,000G the entire game.

The crown has changed in the later games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] it has appeared in. In almost all of King Boo's appearances outside the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]] starting with ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', it is shown as a golden crown encrusted with jewels like [[Peach's Crown]], with four red ones encrusted around the crown and one blue one in the center. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', however, King Boo appears to sport the crown's initial appearance, except the gem, which is now a glowing purple diamond-shaped stone that resembles an amethyst, matching King Boo's color theme. This gem gives him enough power to shatter the [[Dark Moon]].
