The '''Game Boy Horror''' is a machine designed by [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. It allows him to communicate with [[Luigi]]. It also has a map, Luigi's stats, the [[Portrait Ghost]]'s descriptions, and a [[Boo Radar|radar]] for [[Boo]]s. The map and inventory are accessed by pressing {{button|gcn|y}} and {{button|gcn|z}} respectively. Luigi can look in the Game Boy Horror's camera screen by pressing {{button|gcn|x}} to allow the player to see the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|mansion]] in the first person perspective. The player can also select certain objects and have Luigi say something about it, much like the [[Tattle]] ability in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. If Luigi checks a mirror with the Game Boy Horror, he will be warped back to the [[Foyer (Luigi's Mansion)|Foyer]] automatically; however, this does not work with the mirror in the [[Mirror Room]]. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remake]], the Game Boy Horror's search function is used by pressing {{button|3ds|y}}, while the map and inventory are shown on the touch screen.

The Game Boy Horror was designed after the [[Game Boy Color]], specifically the Japan-exclusive clear color variant, with the "HORROR" on it even resembling the Game Boy Color's "COLOR", even though the [[Game Boy Advance]] was already released. This was because throughout the early conceptual development of ''Luigi's Mansion'', the then-unreleased Game Boy Advance's design was wavering throughout.<ref>[http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=261 N-sider.com] (Accessed on 6-12-09)</ref> In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', it was succeeded by the [[Dual Scream]].
