Template:Infobox Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, known internationally as Luigi's Mansion 2 (ルイージマンション2 Ruīji Manshon 2, lit. Luigi Mansion 2), is an upcoming Nintendo 3DS game that will serve as the sequel to Luigi's Mansion, a Nintendo GameCube launch title. The game is to be released on March 20th in Japan, North America on March 24, Europe and Australia on the March 28, 2013.
Story
Professor E. Gadd has been researching ghosts in Evershade Valley, with some assistance from his friendly Greenies. When King Boo appears and shatters the Dark Moon, breaking it into six pieces and scattering them to each Mansion of the valley, the once friendly ghosts become aggressive.
Luigi, who is at home sleeping with his TV on, wakes up when E. Gadd suddenly appears on his TV screen. He informs Luigi about the situation and ask for his assistance. E. Gadd uses his Pixelator to teleport Luigi through the screen, much to Luigi's objections, into E.Gadd's Safe Room in the Evershade Valley to search for the scattered pieces of the Dark Moon and solve this problem.[1]
Gameplay
In this game, the Dark Moon has shattered and Luigi needs to find the Dark Moon pieces. So far six mansions have been confirmed[2][3] (with one mansion being exclusive to multiplayer mode.), which will have multiple missions each in them. The game also introduces the Poltergust 5000, the Poltergust 3000's upgrade.[4] Shining light via flashlight is no longer sufficient to stun all the ghosts in the game; players now need to activate the Strobulb to stun ghosts. Luigi is also now able to jump while capturing a ghost to dodge incoming projectiles.[5] The Flash Light has another feature called Dark-Light, which will shine a rainbow colored light to find things such as the path of Boos or invisible objects.[6] Luigi will also be given the Dual Scream, which is an original Nintendo DS. It will act the same way as the Game Boy Horror and will display a map on the 3DS's bottom screen. Cash and gems help with the mission score, as well as with upgrades to the Poltergust 5000. There is also an "extra life" system. The Gold Dog Bones will serve as extra lives; this will cause a Polterpup to take the bone and revive Luigi just by licking his face when Luigi loses all of his HP.[7] Luigi can still yell using the D-pad, as well as hum with the music if standing still for a while[8]. The various Toads that are trapped in paintings, in the game each have a diffrent phobia which requires more problem solving. There is a Boo in each mission that when captured works towards an unknown item. The game is said to be a lot more puzzle-oriented.[9]
ScareScraper
- Main article: ScareScraper
Unlike its predecessor, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon includes a multiplayer mode called the ScareScraper[10] (known as Thrill Tower in European and Australian versions), a series of floors where up to four players can play. The ScareScraper may have a chosen amount of rooms. They are 5, 10, 25, infinite. There is also 3 difficulty settings option namely normal, hard and expert. Along with being local multiplayer, it is also online multiplayer. There are at least four modes confirmed[11], these include:
- Hunter Mode - Players will need to capture all the ghosts in order to advance to the next floor.
- Rush Mode - Players will need to reach the hatch within the allotted time.
- Polterpup Mode - Players will need to chase down and capture all the Polterpups.
- Surprise Mode - A combination of Hunter, Rush and Polterpup mode.

Trivia
This trivia section is overly long. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections and articles.
- In the latest trailer, which was released in the 3DS Software Showcase at E3 2012, the arrangement of pause menu BGM of Mario Strikers Charged is heard at the last elevator scene.[33] Both games were developed by Next Level Games.
- In the first Mansion, Luigi opens the main door and says "...Hello?" in a scared voice. This is a tribute to the first game's opening sequence.
- There are a few Easter eggs that appear in the intro sequence:
- Luigi is seen sleeping on his recliner, and the map featured in the first game can be seen behind him on the wall.
- Luigi's house bears a strong resemblance to the Rank D Mansion from the ending of the predecessor.
- There is a trophy over the fireplace which has a plunger and a wrench on it, suggesting that Luigi does work as a plumber from time to time.
- The scene when Luigi inspects his TV is a reference to a scene in the movie Poltergeist.
- The Safe Room is shaped like E. Gadd's head on the outside, much like his lab in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on Thwomp Volcano.
- This is one of the rare Nintendo games that is not scheduled for a Friday release in Europe. The game is scheduled for release on Thursday March 28, 2013 because Friday March 29, 2013 is Good Friday.
- In the first game Luigi puts his flashlight away in a lit room, but in this one he keeps it out.
