Later in 2001, when Nintendo released the Nintendo GameCube, one of its launch titles was ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', where as in ''Mario is Missing!'' before it, Luigi is the main protagonist instead of Mario. The game takes place in a haunted mansion that Luigi wins in a contest that he never entered. Mario has gone missing while investigating the mansion, so Luigi must find him with the help of Professor E. Gadd, who is studying the ghosts in the mansion. The scientist equips Luigi with a vacuum cleaner called the [[Poltergust 3000]], with which he must capture every ghost in the mansion, and eventually corner their leader, [[King Boo]]. In the 2010s, the game ended up spawning a [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|full-fledged series]], with several follow-ups. The first sequel, ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', was released in 2013 as part of the "Year of Luigi" celebration. In this game, King Boo has escaped and shattered the [[Dark Moon]], causing the normally peaceful ghosts of [[Evershade Valley]] to become wild. E. Gadd once again enlists the help of Luigi, equipped with the upgraded [[Poltergust 5000]], to stop the ghosts, this time across five mansions. In 2015, an [[Luigi Mansion Arcade|arcade spinoff]] was released by Capcom. In 2018, the first ''Luigi's Mansion'' was [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remade]] for 3DS with enhanced graphics and audio, modified levels, and added features such as in-game achievements. Another main game, ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', where Luigi uses the new model [[Poltergust G-00]], was released for the Switch in 2019. | Later in 2001, when Nintendo released the Nintendo GameCube, one of its launch titles was ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', where as in ''Mario is Missing!'' before it, Luigi is the main protagonist instead of Mario.

In 2005, the franchise saw a role-reversal with ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' for the Nintendo DS. Developed by the behind-the-scenes studio [[TOSE Software Co.|TOSE]], it casts Peach as the main protagonist, who uses [[Perry]] the talking parasol and her own powers of emotion in the form of [[Vibe]]s to save Mario, Luigi, and several Toads from Bowser, who has imprisoned them on [[Vibe Island]]. | In 2005, the franchise saw a role-reversal with ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' for the Nintendo DS.

Peach would later appear as the main protagonist again in 2024's ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'' for the Switch, developed by [[Good-Feel]], where she makes her way through the plays at the [[Sparkle Theater]] to save it from the takeover of the wicked sorceress [[Grape (character)|Grape]] and her [[Sour Bunch]], who have trapped many of the theater's visitors. In the process, she relies on the sentient ribbon [[Stella]] and the special costumes she uses to fit in each play's setting to help her save the plays and their stars, the "Sparklas". | ||
In 2014, Nintendo released ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' for Wii U, a puzzle-platforming game based on the "Adventures of Captain Toad" stages in ''Super Mario 3D World'', retaining the main gimmick in that the player is unable to jump, though in this game they can attack by picking up and throwing objects. The heroes [[Captain Toad]] and [[Toadette]] go on a quest for treasure, but must save each other from a treasure-seeking bird named [[Wingo]]. ''Treasure Tracker'' was ported to both the Switch and the 3DS in 2018, replacing the ''3D World'' levels with new ones based off ''Super Mario Odyssey''; this port was updated the following year with a downloadable pack containing 18 new levels and a co-op mode. | In 2014, Nintendo released ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' for Wii U, a puzzle-platforming game based on the "Adventures of Captain Toad" stages in ''Super Mario 3D World'', retaining the main gimmick in that the player is unable to jump, though in this game they can attack by picking up and throwing objects.
