==Original==
The "Main Theme" is first heard in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' in the cutscene where [[Professor E. Gadd]] meets [[Luigi]] for the first time. The "Main Theme" is most often heard when Luigi is in a dark hallway of the mansion and not actively engaged in combat. He may hum along to the theme as it plays, sounding more distressed as his [[Heart Point|HP]] gets closer to zero. It is titled 「'''ルイージマンション'''」 (''Ruīji Manshon'', "Luigi's Mansion") in the ''[[Nintendo Sound Selection Vol.3: B-Side Music]]'' album.


==Original appearance==
The theme debuts in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' as the background music for the mansion that plays when Luigi is in a dark hallway and not actively engaged in combat. He may hum the theme as it plays. When Luigi enters a lit room, the music is silent while he whistles the theme. A different arrangement plays in [[Professor Elvin Gadd's Lab|E. Gadd's Lab]].

"Main Theme"

The main motif of the "Main Theme" on piano, first in the style of Luigi's Mansion, second in the style of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
Composed by:
Kazumi Totaka
Key A minor
First appearance Luigi's Mansion (2001)
Latest appearance The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

The "Main Theme"[1], also known as the "Luigi's Mansion Theme",[2] is a musical theme composed for Luigi's Mansion by Kazumi Totaka.[3] It is a suspenseful piece played in A minor at a moderato tempo, and is usually associated with the Luigi's Mansion series and Luigi himself. An alternate arrangement of the "Main Theme" is also often associated with Professor E. Gadd.

Original

The "Main Theme" is first heard in Luigi's Mansion in the cutscene where Professor E. Gadd meets Luigi for the first time. The "Main Theme" is most often heard when Luigi is in a dark hallway of the mansion and not actively engaged in combat. He may hum along to the theme as it plays, sounding more distressed as his HP gets closer to zero. It is titled 「ルイージマンション」 (Ruīji Manshon, "Luigi's Mansion") in the Nintendo Sound Selection Vol.3: B-Side Music album.

It is titled 「オヤマー博士の研究所」 (Oyamā Hakase no Kenkyūjo, "Professor E. Gadd's Laboratory") in the Nintendo Sound Selection Vol.3: B-Side Music album. This theme would become the basis for arrangements associated with Professor E. Gadd in future games.

A chiptune arrangement of the "Main Theme" is used as the Game Boy Horror's ringtone.

A different chiptune arrangement of the "Main Theme" is included in the music heard during Game Boy Horror calls.

A harp arrangement of the "Main Theme" plays when Luigi is outside of the mansion or in the Observatory after looking at the moon.

The music heard during the cutscene when Luigi is trapped in the Astral Hall is a brief arrangement of the "Main Theme"

In the Clockwork Room, the clocks on the right side of the room play an arrangement of the "Main Theme" when the player interacts with them.

One of three brief arrangements plays when Luigi's NEW Mansion is built with either Rank A, Ranks B-G, or Rank H, respectively.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon features three different arrangements of the "Main Theme". The first arrangement is played on a compressed synthesizer and serves as the ringtone for the Dual Scream. It is played in the key of B♭ minor in an allegro tempo.

The second arrangement is heard when Luigi is in the Bunker, as well as when Professor E. Gadd is actively calling Luigi through the Dual Scream. The arrangement is also in B♭ minor with the melody played on a violin with oboe harmony.

The third arrangement of the "Main Theme" is briefly heard when E. Gadd prompts Luigi to use the Dark-Light Device to free Mario from his painting. It is in the key of A♭ minor and ends in a B-diminished triad.
