'''''Luigi's Mansion 3''''' is a [[Nintendo Switch]] game, and the second sequel to ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', after ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. Unlike previous games in the series, the game takes place in a hotel run by ghosts rather than an actual mansion. Like the previous main installment, it was developed by [[Next Level Games]]. The game is 7.3 GB in file size, though it can be expanded with downloadable content (DLC).

|With the exception of the [[Master Suite]], a Boo can be found on each floor after collecting a floor's Elevator Button, leaving, then coming back. Each Boo has a pun name and a line of dialogue. Boos will hide in a random spot and the players' controllers will vibrate the closer they get to their hiding spot. Searching the wrong spot will make the Boo hide in a new spot and actually finding the Boo will activate its fight; it will turn invisible and sneakily hurt the player. Casting the [[Dark-Light Device]] on the Boo will reveal and daze it so the player can then grab its tongue with the [[Poltergust G-00]]'s suction and slam it repeatedly, doing a total of 10 HP damage. A Boo needs to be repeatedly slammed at least twice for it to be defeated. Defeating all of the Boos in the game will grant the player the "Captured All Boos" achievement and the [[Flashlight Type-B]].
