===Hanging Luigi Glitch===
===Hanging luigi glitch===
This is a lighting glitch in which Luigi's shadow appears to be floating whenever lightning strikes. This glitch has been mistakenly thought to be an easter egg apparently showing that Luigi hung himself. Though this has been debunked by that fact that it appears multiple times throughout the game in awkward places. It is caused by abnormal camera angles in select situations. It can sometimes be seen when talking with certain [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, as well as when speaking with [[Professor E. Gadd]] over the [[Game Boy Horror]] in any room lightning can be seen, as well as in the [[Telephone Room]] while speaking on one of the telephones.

This glitch has been mistakenly thought to be an [[Easter egg]] apparently showing Luigi having hung himself. However, this has been debunked by that fact that it appears multiple times throughout the game in awkward and random places. It is merely caused by abnormal camera angles in select situations.

When the player makes Luigi face a door, Luigi's nose and part of his cap clip through the door when the map is viewed on the [[Game Boy Horror]].


In order to achieve this, the payer must have side-step enabled from the starting point. After moving to the right, Luigi will run into an invisible wall. It's here that the player must press {{button|gcn|A}} and Luigi will do a walk. Eventually, Luigi will open a door. The player must turn the light around so a [[Purple Bomber]] or [[Ceiling Surprise]] can't scare Luigi. The player will then see bats, and must make the bats notice him. Before Luigi gets hit, the player must hit down-right on {{button|gcn|C}}. As soon as Luigi makes the "hurt" noise, the player must release {{button|gcn|C}}. This will cause Luigi to be in a sideways angle. The player must hold right on both {{button|gcn|Stick}} and {{button|gcn|C}}, and if the angle Luigi is in is sharp enough, Luigi will go around a ledge. If Luigi's angle isn't sharp enough, he won't go around, and if that's the case, Luigi can enter a door and exit, and the bats will respawn. If down right, Luigi must then go down the hallway to the rooms including the [[Conservatory (Luigi's Mansion)|Conservatory]] , while walking backwards due to some ghosts scaring Luigi. The player must then go to the left and try to vacuum some bats, but instead bring them to the right most area, and while doing so, the player must release {{button|gcn|R}}, while quickly tapping left on {{button|gcn|Stick}} and briefly holding right on {{button|gcn|C}} all in one sequence. Luigi should have a diagonal angle once more. Switching to Standard mode, Luigi should go and face the player, along with his light. The player must re-enter Side-step, hold up on both {{button|gcn|Stick}} and {{button|gcn|C}}. The player then must pause, switch to standard mode, and hold up-right on {{button|gcn|Stick}} and press {{button|gcn|A}} to continue while pressing {{button|gcn|X}} to open the [[Game Boy Horror]]. If done right, Luigi should fall into the wall of the hall to the [[Secret Altar]]. It's hard to see, so the player must enter First-Person View on the GBH to see. If all done right, Luigi should enter the Secret Altar and fight King Boo early.  
===Out of bounds glitch===
This rather extensive glitch occurs when the player rushes to the chest containing the Area 2 Key after defeating [[Chauncey]] before it finishes spawning.

This glitch is commonly utilized by speedrunners as a very quick method of completing the game as it allows Luigi to reach [[King Boo]] very early into the game.
*Before [[Chauncey]], it's best to save with [[Toad]] first, as the player only has one try.
 
*It's possible to fail the Out of Bounds glitch by either releasing {{button|gcn|Stick}} too late, or too early. Also, the player must vacuum and as Luigi puts the Poltergust away, Luigi must enter the wall. If Luigi walks in too early or late, he will fall into the [[Laundry Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Laundry Room]].
The player must begin this by having side-step mode enabled from the starting point. After moving to the right, Luigi runs into an invisible wall. Here, the player must press {{button|gcn|a}} for Luigi to walk and eventually open a door. Here, the player must turn his flashlight to prevent a [[Purple Bomber]] or [[Ceiling Surprise]] from interrupting. Once the bats notice and head for Luigi, the player must press down-right on {{button|gcn|c}} just before he is hit. As Luigi reacts, the button must be released, causing Luigi to stand at a sideways angle.
*It's difficult to get the right angle by the bats.
 
*If ghosts scare Luigi, he will fall to the floor.  
Following this, the player must hold right on both {{button|gcn|stick}} and {{button|gcn|c}}. If the angle Luigi is at is sharp enough, he goes around a ledge. If this does not work, Luigi can simply enter and exit a door to respawn the bats. Luigi must then go down the hallway to the rooms such as the [[Conservatory (Luigi's Mansion)|Conservatory]] while walking sideways to prevent ghosts from spooking him. The player must then head left and vacuum bats over to the rightmost area and release {{button|gcn|r}} while quickly tapping left on {{button|gcn|stick}} and briefly holding right on {{button|gcn|c}}. If this is done correctly, Luigi switches to a diagonal angle again. The player must then switch to standard mode and have Luigi face directly toward them. The player must then re-enter side-step mode and hold up on both {{button|gcn|stick}} and {{button|gcn|c}}. The player must then pause, swtich to standard mode once again, and hold up-right on {{button|gcn|stick}} and press {{button|gcn|a}} to continue, all while pressing {{button|gcn|x}} to open the [[Game Boy Horror]].
*Luigi has to be in the wall when in the hall to the Secret Altar, as it won't work if he's outside.
 
**Also, it's possible the player did the glitch wrong, and that he won't fall to the hall to the Alter when opening First-Person view.
If all of this is done right, Luigi should fall into the wall of the hall to the [[Secret Altar]], where he is then able to enter the altar to battle King Boo very early. This glitch can be very difficult to perform, as it is very long and may be very easily interrupted. It is therefore recommended the player save with [[Toad]] before attempting this, as they only have one attempt. Several other problems, such as accidentally entering the [[Laundry Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Laundry Room]] instead, being startled by a ghost, and activating the cutscene in which King Boo blows Luigi away may occur.<ref>Scykoh.

*In the wall to the Altar, if Luigi walks too much to the left, a cut scene will play of King Boo blowing Luigi to the [[Foyer (Luigi's Mansion)|Foyer]] thus ruining the glitch. If Luigi walks too much to the right, he will get stuck and won't be able to move.
**The wall is also dark and hard to see through. It's best to bring out the Game Boy Horror.

This is a list of glitches in Luigi's Mansion.

Glitches

Bouncing ball glitch

This glitch may be performed in the Nursery if the player picks up the ball with R Button, faces a wall, then presses and holds L Button. The ball begins bouncing off the wall and back into the grasp of the Poltergust 3000 repeatedly.

Hanging luigi glitch

This is a lighting glitch in which Luigi's shadow appears to be floating whenever lightning strikes. This glitch has been mistakenly thought to be an Easter egg apparently showing Luigi having hung himself. However, this has been debunked by that fact that it appears multiple times throughout the game in awkward and random places. It is merely caused by abnormal camera angles in select situations. It can sometimes be seen when talking with certain Toads, as well as when speaking with Professor E. Gadd over the Game Boy Horror in any room lightning can be seen, such as in the Telephone Room while speaking on one of the telephones.

Invisible Bowling Ghost glitch

This glitch randomly occurs, and causes a Bowling Ghost to become invisible. The bowling ball it carries begins floating above a pulsating ring that all ghosts have underneath them, appearing to have no collision detection when this occurs.[1]

Invisible door glitch

When the player exits The Twins' Room and presses A Button, Luigi performs the animation used for opening doors.

Map clipping glitch

When the player makes Luigi face a door, Luigi's nose and part of his cap clip through the door when the map is viewed on the Game Boy Horror.

Out of bounds glitch

This rather extensive glitch occurs when the player rushes to the chest containing the Area 2 Key after defeating Chauncey before it finishes spawning. This allows Luigi to walk on the ceiling.[2]

This glitch is commonly utilized by speedrunners as a very quick method of completing the game as it allows Luigi to reach King Boo very early into the game.

The player must begin this by having side-step mode enabled from the starting point. After moving to the right, Luigi runs into an invisible wall. Here, the player must press A Button for Luigi to walk and eventually open a door. Here, the player must turn his flashlight to prevent a Purple Bomber or Ceiling Surprise from interrupting. Once the bats notice and head for Luigi, the player must press down-right on C Stick just before he is hit. As Luigi reacts, the button must be released, causing Luigi to stand at a sideways angle.

Following this, the player must hold right on both Control Stick and C Stick. If the angle Luigi is at is sharp enough, he goes around a ledge. If this does not work, Luigi can simply enter and exit a door to respawn the bats. Luigi must then go down the hallway to the rooms such as the Conservatory while walking sideways to prevent ghosts from spooking him. The player must then head left and vacuum bats over to the rightmost area and release R Button while quickly tapping left on Control Stick and briefly holding right on C Stick. If this is done correctly, Luigi switches to a diagonal angle again. The player must then switch to standard mode and have Luigi face directly toward them. The player must then re-enter side-step mode and hold up on both Control Stick and C Stick. The player must then pause, swtich to standard mode once again, and hold up-right on Control Stick and press A Button to continue, all while pressing X Button to open the Game Boy Horror.

If all of this is done right, Luigi should fall into the wall of the hall to the Secret Altar, where he is then able to enter the altar to battle King Boo very early. This glitch can be very difficult to perform, as it is very long and may be very easily interrupted. It is therefore recommended the player save with Toad before attempting this, as they only have one attempt. Several other problems, such as accidentally entering the Laundry Room instead, being startled by a ghost, and activating the cutscene in which King Boo blows Luigi away may occur.[3]

Pushing Toad glitch

This glitch only works with the Toad on the Balcony (2F) and the Washroom (1F). Luigi is able to push Toad around and once he does, if the player saves, Luigi is teleported back to the Foyer.[4]

Shadow Bogmire glitch

This glitch occurs when Luigi faces a wall just as a Shadow Bogmire is about to sucked in. The Shadow Bogmire becomes stuck on the nozzle of the Poltergust 3000. The outline of the ball that was supposed to be the Shadow Bogmire becomes stuck on the wall Luigi was facing. To end this glitch, the player must have Luigi take damage, hit a wall, or release R Button.[5]

Well glitch

When Luigi rushes toward the well in the Courtyard and a Ceiling Surprise scares him, he may occasionally fall through the ground and land in an out of bounds area next to the well, where he is unable to escape.[6]
