Luigi's Mansion, originally released in Japan as Luigi Mansion (ルイージマンション, Luigi Mansion^?), is an adventure video game developed by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube in 2001. It was a launch title for the GameCube, the first major Nintendo console not to have a launch title with Mario as the star.

Luigi's Mansion is one of the few Nintendo games featuring Mario in which his brother, Luigi, is the main character (the first was Mario is Missing!). The game features a unique set of goals and ways to attain those goals, involving stunning ghosts with a flashlight and promptly sucking them into a vacuum cleaner, named by Professor E. Gadd as the Poltergust 3000.

Plot

Gameplay

To combat the ghosts, Professor E. Gadd arms Luigi with two of his inventions: a Poltergust 3000 and a Game Boy Horror (a spoof of Nintendo's Game Boy Color handheld).

The Poltergust 3000 is a high-powered vacuum cleaner designed for capturing ghosts and ghouls. When ghosts approach Luigi, he first must shine his flashlight on them, which is seemingly built into the Poltergust. This stuns them, causing them to show their heart in fright. Luigi then has a chance to capture the ghosts by pointing his vacuum at the ghosts and sucking at them until their health reaches zero. However, the ghosts will put up a good fight to not be sucked up. They try to flee from the vacuum's vortex, dragging Luigi around. But if the player tilts the control stick away from the ghosts, Luigi will stand his ground and pull the ghost closer to the vortex, thereby making their health decrease faster. The ghosts are held inside the vacuum until Luigi returns to Professor E. Gadd's hut where the ghosts are then turned into and stored as paintings. When these paintings are made, they are stored on the wall in the gallery.

Later in the game, Luigi locates three mystical medallions which allows him to expel fire, water, or ice from the Poltergust 3000 after first capturing an Elemental Ghost, which are only found near their elements. The Game Boy Horror is a portable device that allows Luigi to search items in the mansion to find out what they are or to find out if a Boo or Portrait Ghost is nearby and if so how to defeat it. It also contains a map of the mansion and lets Luigi contact Professor E. Gadd.
