'''''Luigi's Mansion''''' is a launch title for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] initially released in 2001, and is the first installment of the ''[[Luigi's Mansion (series)|Luigi's Mansion]]'' series. It marks the second time where [[Luigi]] is the main protagonist, with [[Mario]] playing a supporting role, the first being ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. The game marks the debuts of [[King Boo]], Luigi's main antagonist, as well as [[Professor E. Gadd]], a major supporting character in the series. It was also one of two ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-related games on the GameCube to continue the use of [[Nintendo 64|N64]]-era artwork and renders, along with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' (another early GameCube title), though it also introduced the current 3D art direction of the ''Super Mario'' franchise, particularly with Mario and [[Bowser]]'s in-game designs.

A sequel to ''Luigi's Mansion'', titled ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', was released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] family of systems on March 20, 2013, with [[Luigi's Mansion 3|a third installment]] released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 31, 2019. A [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|remake]] of ''Luigi's Mansion'', developed by [[GREZZO Co.,Ltd.]], was released for the Nintendo 3DS on October 12, 2018.

==Story==
===Instruction booklet===
;''And the grand prize is a big, haunted mansion!?''
<blockquote>One day, Luigi received an unexpected message: You've won a huge mansion! Naturally, He{{sic}} got very excited and called his brother, Mario. "Mario? It's me, Luigi. I won myself a big mansion! Meet me there and we'll celebrate, what do you say?"<br>
<br>
Luigi tried to follow the map to his new mansion, but the night was dark, and he became hopelessly lost in an eerie forest along the way. Finally, he came upon a gloomy mansion on the edge of the woods. According to the map, this mansion seemed to be the one Luigi was looking for. As soon as Luigi set foot in the mansion, he started to feel nervous. Mario, who should have arrived first, was nowhere to be seen. Not only that, but there were ghosts in the mansion!<br>
<br>
Suddenly, a ghost lunged at Luigi! "Mario! Help meee!" That's when a strange old man with a vacuum cleaner on his back appeared out of nowhere! This strange fellow managed to rescue Luigi from the ghosts, then the two of them escaped...<br>
<br>
It just so happened that the old man, Professor Elvin Gadd, who lived near the house, was researching his favorite subject, ghosts. Luigi told Professor E. Gadd that his brother Mario was missing, so the Professor decided to give Luigi two inventions that would help him search for his brother.<br>
<br>
Luigi's not exactly known for his bravery. Can he get rid of all the prank-loving ghosts and find Mario?</blockquote>

===Area 1===
[[File:LuigiMansion.png|thumb|The Mansion.]]
[[Luigi]], having won a [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|mansion]] in a contest he did not enter, arrives in [[Boo Woods]] and locates it. He enters the mansion and is soon frightened by a [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]], but [[Professor E. Gadd]] appears and attempts to vacuum the ghost with his [[Poltergust 3000]]. Though his attempt fails, he introduces himself to Luigi before quickly escorting him to his laboratory near the mansion when more ghosts appear. In the lab, E. Gadd tells Luigi that the house is an illusion that has appeared out of thin air, where [[Mario]] has been captured by [[King Boo]] and his minions. He gives Luigi the Poltergust 3000 to vacuum up ghosts and the [[Game Boy Horror]] to communicate with E. Gadd, scan objects, and see a map of the mansion.

Luigi enters the mansion, sucking up ghosts and finding keys, while meeting [[Toad]] along the way, until he encounters a [[portrait ghost]] named [[Neville]] and defeats him with the Poltergust 3000. He does the same to [[Lydia]], Neville's wife, and fights their baby, [[Chauncey]], who sucks Luigi into his crib and fights him as a giant ghost, but is defeated and sucked into the Poltergust 3000. With his ghost-hunting vacuum filling rapidly, Luigi returns to E. Gadd's lab and empties it, turning Neville, Lydia, and Chauncey back into portraits.

===Area 2===
[[File:LuigiMansion Graveyard.png|thumb|Luigi after defeating Bogmire]]Luigi enters Area 2, another area through a previously blocked door and fights more ghosts. After defeating [[The Floating Whirlindas]], he enters the Storage Room and hits a switch, which opens a [[fake door]] where 50 [[Boo]]s and their leader, King Boo, are hiding. All of them escape, flying into different rooms of the mansion. Luigi returns to E. Gadd's lab and E. Gadd tells him that the Boos were the ones who released the portrait ghosts. Luigi must capture the Boos to weaken their power, as they are stronger in greater numbers. So Luigi goes through the many rooms of the mansion, vacuuming up any Boos he sees. He also meets [[Madame Clairvoya]], a fortune teller ghost, who tells him to bring her any of Mario's items he finds lying around in the mansion so she can get details on his whereabouts. The items are [[Mario Cap|Mario's Hat]], [[Mario's Glove]], [[Mario's Shoe]], [[Mario's Letter]], and [[Mario's Star (item)|Mario's Star]]. After sucking up [[Shivers]] the butler, [[Melody Pianissima]], [[Mr. Luggs]], and [[Spooky (character)|Spooky]] the dog, Luigi enters the Cemetery and fights the shadowy ghost, [[Bogmire]]. He defeats him and sucks him into the Poltergust. Afterwards, Luigi returns to E. Gadd's lab once again and empties the Poltergust to turn all the ghosts back into portraits.

===Area 3===
[[File:LuigilookingAltar.png|thumb|left|Luigi looking at the [[Secret Altar]]]]
Luigi enters a third area into the courtyard. Down the well, he sees into King Boo's altar and discovers that King Boo has imprisoned Mario in a portrait. Luigi becomes desperate to save his big brother as he reaches out for him. He goes through new rooms of the mansion, finding Mario's items and vacuuming up ghosts, including portrait ghosts [[Biff Atlas]], [[Miss Petunia]], [[Nana]], [[Slim Bankshot]], and the twins [[Henry and Orville]]. After Luigi brings Madame Clairvoya all five of Mario's items, she tells him that she sees [[Bowser]] in a vision, which is shocking because Mario defeated Bowser and she suspects that King Boo revived him. With her job done, she tells Luigi to suck her into the Poltergust so she can return peacefully to her portrait. After he does so and defeats 20 Boos, he enters the balcony and fights [[Boolossus]], a [[Big Boo]] made up of fifteen [[Mini Boo|Little Boo]]s, and he lures him into either unicorn statue to split him into his individual Boos and sucks them all into the Poltergust. Then, Luigi returns to E. Gadd's lab once more and empties the Poltergust to turn all the ghosts, including Boolossus, back into portraits.

===Area 4===
[[File:Breaker Room.png|thumb|Luigi in the Breaker Room]]When Luigi enters Area 4 in the attic, the mansion is suddenly struck by lightning, creating a [[blackout]] throughout the mansion. He then goes to the breaker room to turn the power back on, but finds it locked. Luigi looks for the key and soon encounters a ghost named [[Uncle Grimmly]] and defeats him to get the key. After he turns the power back on, he catches more Boos and portrait ghosts, including the [[Clockwork Soldiers]], [[Sue Pea]], [[Jarvis]], and [[Sir Weston]], before entering the room of [[Vincent Van Gore]], one of the most prominent portrait ghosts who is painting regular ghosts. He sends several waves of ghosts after Luigi, but Luigi defeats them all, causing Van Gore to go into a state of depression and Luigi sucks him into the Poltergust without much resistance. He then goes to the Secret Altar down a creepy hallway in the basement and encounters King Boo, who reveals that he was the one who told Luigi that he won the mansion in a contest and set it up as revenge for all the trouble the Mario brothers had caused him. King Boo goes into Mario's portrait, which turns into a Bowser portrait and sucks Luigi into it. In an arena resembling the roof of the mansion with fire in the background, Luigi fights what appears to be Bowser (as Madame Clairvoya's vision had seen), but when he hits him in the head with an explosive, spiked metal ball, "Bowser" is revealed to be a protective suit worn by King Boo. Luigi defeats King Boo while avoiding the Bowser suit's head and sucks him into the Poltergust 3000.

[[File:Rank B Portrait.png|thumb|left|Luigi's Rank B mansion.]]
Luigi returns to E. Gadd's lab one last time and empties the Poltergust to turn all the ghosts, including King Boo, back into portraits. E. Gadd then reverses the Portrificationizer to release Mario from his portrait. After Mario goes through a painful and overwhelming reverse-procedure of all the portrait ghosts captured, he rockets out of the machine, colliding with Luigi, very dizzy and semiconscious afterwards, but otherwise alright. And then, Luigi laughs with tears in his eyes that his brother is safe.

Since King Boo has been defeated, his illusion of the mansion fades away, though the money and jewels Luigi had collected in the mansion were real, and with it he gets [[Luigi's NEW Mansion|a new residence]], which varies in size depending on the player's rank.

==Gameplay==
[[File:LM Control Setting.png|thumb|200px|The [[Blue Twirler]] holding the [[Nintendo GameCube]] controller, showing the standard and sidestep controls.]]
Luigi uses two devices given to him by E. Gadd to progress through the game: the [[Poltergust 3000]] to suck up ghosts and the [[Game Boy Horror]] (which is designed to resemble a [[Game Boy Color]]) to investigate objects, navigate the mansion and communicate with E. Gadd. On top of its primary function, the Poltergust has various other uses as well, such as sucking up money and being used as a [[flashlight]] to help Luigi see and even stun ghosts. Once Luigi collects the corresponding [[element medal]], he can also use the Poltergust to suck up [[Elemental Ghost]]s and expel their fire, water or ice powers to fight other ghosts and deplete their HPs so that Luigi can capture them. In turn, Luigi's own HP is lowered whenever he takes damage and requires him to replenish it by collecting [[Heart Point|Heart]]s, or risk a Game Over (at which point he collapses and the words "Good night" appears overhead).
===Controls===
*{{button|gcn|Stick}} - Move (in sidestep mode, the stick does not change Luigi's facing direction)
*{{button|gcn|A}} - Examine an object / Open a door / Call out for Mario / Reply to E. Gadd
*{{button|gcn|B}} - Turn the flashlight on or off
*{{button|gcn|X}} - Search, using the [[Game Boy Horror]]

==Ghosts==
{{quote|As a result of extensive research, I have divided ghosts into several categories.|[[Professor E. Gadd]]|Instruction Booklet}}
===Normal ghosts===
====Small====
Small ghosts can be sucked into the Poltergust without any resistance. They do not have hearts, so they do not need to be surprised before pulling them in, either. They are not required to suck up to complete a room; if a room is completed and the lights turn on while they are still present, they will fade away. The exceptions to this are the [[Elemental Ghost]]s, which remain in lit areas.

Large ghosts must be stunned in order to show their hearts before they can be sucked up. Often times, this is done by shining the flashlight on them. Before they can be pulled all the way in, the Poltergust needs to pull on them enough to bring their HP down to 0.

===Boos===
[[File:LM PeekaBoo.png|thumb|Luigi discovers PeekaBoo in the Butler's Room.]]
{{main|List of Boos in Luigi's Mansion}}
There are 50 (excluding King Boo) [[Boo]]s that hide in the various rooms of the mansion. 35 of these are named to differentiate between them, while the remaining 15 are [[Mini Boo|smaller one]]s which make up the third Boss of the game, Boolossus. The magic of the King Boo's spells increase based on the number of his minions nearby. Because of this, Luigi must capture 20 Boos to break the seal designed to block Boolossus from him. After capturing 20 more (hence, five more after what he gets from Boolossus), the seal separating Luigi from King Boo is broken. If Luigi catches all 50 Boos, he will be rewarded with the extremely valuable [[Gold Diamond]]. Each of the 35 main Boos' names are puns. For example, "Booigi" is a pun on "Luigi" and "Game Boo" is a nod to the [[Game Boy]].

The 35 main Boos can only be found in rooms that have been cleared and lit, where they hide in interactive objects and occasionally switch positions when they laugh. The [[Boo Radar]] helps to find them, but a [[Boo Ball]] and a [[bomb]] hide nearby and also shuffle positions. When a Boo is discovered, it attempts to flee to another room, with some also trying to attack Luigi from behind. Boos can have anywhere from 30 to 300 HP and lack hearts, meaning they cannot be latched onto, but also cannot pull Luigi - as such, he must keep pointed at them manually. Their HP goes down at a steady quick rate in light areas, but if they travel into a dark one, their HP falls much slower. If a Boo is left in another room for too long, it will hide in the new room, or if left in a hall, in its original room.

===Portrait ghosts===
{{main|Portrait ghost}}
In his exploits, Luigi captures up to twenty-three gallery ghosts (five are optional). These ghosts (excluding the third and the final/fourth boss) have 100 HP, but their hearts are not automatically shown like other ghosts: Luigi must find each ghost's weakness before he can suck them up. The following are listed in the rough order they can be caught in the game:

====Luigi's NEW Mansion====
[[File:Luigi Mansion Money.png|thumb|225px|All of the money, with a perfect score in the NTSC version.]]
{{main|Luigi's NEW Mansion}}
All of the money and treasure Luigi collects is used to build Luigi's NEW Mansion in place of the old one. The size and general quality of the mansion depends on exactly how much he collects, with the lower ranks featuring smaller mansions and the upper ranks featuring larger mansions. A painting of the mansion Luigi receives then appears at the front of the Gallery, with Luigi's total money on the bottom-left corner. The message reads "Welcome to Luigi's NEW Mansion!" unless Luigi achieves Rank A or H. The requirement to achieve Rank A was increased significantly during localization for PAL regions.
*'''Rank A''': Finish the game at or above 100,000,000G (NTSC) ''or'' 150,000,000G (PAL). + ''Message: Congratulations! Your mansion is complete!''
*'''Rank B''': Finish the game with 70,000,000 to 99,999,999G (NTSC) ''or'' 70,000,000 to 149,999,999G (PAL).
*'''Rank C''': Finish the game with 60,000,000 to 69,999,999G.
*'''Rank D''': Finish the game with 50,000,000 to 59,999,999G.
*'''Rank E''': Finish the game with 40,000,000 to 49,999,999G.
*'''Rank F''': Finish the game with 20,000,000 to 39,999,999G.
*'''Rank G''': Finish the game with 5,000,000 to 19,999,999G.
*'''Rank H''': Finish the game with 5,000 to 4,999,999G. + ''Message: The haunted mansion disappeared without a trace...''
*The Rank A Mansion appears at the side of [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' However, Rank D is shown in the opening of the sequel, ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''.

===Mario's items===
Luigi may find several items that Mario has dropped in the mansion. Once he has received one, he can show it to [[Madame Clairvoya]] for information of Mario's whereabouts.

==Professor E. Gadd's Gallery==
Professor E. Gadd had trapped the portrait ghosts into paintings during his past ghost adventures and put them for display in his personal [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|gallery]] - until King Boo released each of them. As Luigi recaptures gallery ghosts, they will be framed in three colors: bronze, silver, or gold. The frame color of non-boss ghosts depends on how much HP Luigi sucks in one go, which produce pearls:
*'''Bronze'''. Only small pearls, which Luigi earns one of for every 10 HP sucked in one go. The portraits show the ghosts in poor quality.
*'''Silver'''. At least one medium pearl, which the ghost gives up for every 50 HP sucked and every 10 after. So for 60, 70 and 80 HP in one go, Luigi earns another medium pearl. The portraits show the ghosts in better quality.
*'''Gold'''. The only big pearl possible is given up if Luigi can suck 90 HP in one go. The portraits of the ghosts are often just what they looked like when Luigi captured them.
If Luigi sucks all 100 HP at once, no extra pearl is awarded. The maximum amount of money to be gained per portrait ghost is 1,600,000G: 4 small pearls, 4 medium pearls and 1 big pearl.
Boss gallery ghosts' ([[Chauncey]], [[Bogmire]], [[Boolossus]], and [[King Boo]]) frames and quality are determined by how high Luigi's health is after capturing the ghost.
*'''Bronze'''. If Luigi fails to keep his health above 60 HP, he will get this painting.
*'''Silver'''. To get this portrait, Luigi's health must be kept above 60 HP at the end of the battle.
*'''Gold'''. To obtain this high-quality painting, his health must not have declined below 90 HP at the end of the battle.

==Hidden Mansion==
Once the player beats the game for the first time, the quest can be restarted in the normal mansion or the "Hidden Mansion". In the Japanese and North American versions of ''Luigi's Mansion'', the Hidden Mansion differs from the normal mansion in only two ways, and is treated simply as an alternative to the main campaign:
*Luigi takes twice as much damage when hurt. 
*The Poltergust 3000 is 1.5× stronger. In addition to improving its reliability in regard to capturing ghosts, this helps improve Luigi's chance of earning larger pearls, and thus acquire nicer frames for the portrait ghosts.
Additional changes were made to the Hidden Mansion featured in the European and Australian versions of ''Luigi's Mansion'', making it more of a standard hard mode with better rewards. They are listed as follows:
*The PAL Hidden Mansion is mirrored from left to right when compared to the Normal Mansion. The NTSC version keeps the layout the same.
*There are more normal ghosts around the mansion; for example, in [[The Artist's Studio]], Luigi must fight five of each ghost instead of three. More powerful ghosts are also encountered earlier than in the Normal Mansion; for example, in the Normal Mansion, [[Blue Twirler]]s are unique to Area 4 and the blackout, while in the PAL Hidden Mansion, they appear as early as the first room of Area 1.
*Bosses are more difficult, such as having different attacks. [[Chauncey]]'s rocking horses, for example, are much bigger and swerve left to right, instead of going straight, while his beach balls spawn from the near side of the bed instead of the far side. [[Bogmire]]'s attacks remain mostly the same, but he and his clones move and attack much faster. Another example is the [[Boolossus]] battle, in which the player rides around on the Poltergust 3000's wheels while trying to pop Boolossus, which makes movement more slippery.
*Boos are usually more agile and difficult to catch. Most of them have more HP, although some have the same, and some have less. The ones with less HP are often much faster and can leave a room in seconds, or cross a room within a second to round Luigi and attack him from behind, especially in Area 4.
*Fewer hearts are available. Locations that have hearts in the Normal Mansion do not have them. Hearts that heal 50 HP exist in the [[Courtyard (Luigi's Mansion)|Courtyard]] by vacuuming the Slim Bankshot-like statue, and rarely in the [[Foyer]] when checking the drawer.
*[[Speedy Spirit]]s and [[Gold Mice]] always drop a [[Blue Diamond]] when caught, raising the maximum possible amount of money from 142,390,000G to 186,440,000G.<ref>[https://cyberscore.me.uk/chart/18493 ''Luigi’s Mansion'' – PAL: mansion value]</ref> Because the amount of money required for an A rank was increased to 150,000,000G (instead of 100,000,000G in the NTSC version), this means the Hidden Mansion is necessary to play through in order to get an A rank.
*Instead of 40 Boos, 45 are required to fight the final boss.

==Development==
The idea for ''Luigi's Mansion'' was first centered around exploration many different rooms, similar to ''The Legend of Zelda''{{'}}s dungeons. Mario was initially chosen as the protagonist. The team wanted the location to be a huge house from the start, and it began as a "Japanese-style Ninja house." After some playtests, the setting was retooled to resemble a dollhouse, as the player would always be looking through one of the walls to see the rest of the room. As the lighting scheme was developed, the team focused on darkness and shadows, which turned the dollhouse into an "American-style haunted mansion." With the change in setting and the new emphasis on ghosts, Luigi was chosen to be the new protagonist, as the team wanted a cowardly character and Mario was more known for being brave. The portrait ghosts were created in order to distinguish them from the rest of the ''Super Mario'' franchise' ghosts, namely Boos. The team also considered using no characters at all from the rest of the ''Super Mario'' franchise besides Luigi and Mario to establish the game as not just "another chapter in the Mario series," though they eventually resolved to use the series' characters sparingly.<ref name="Player's Guide Interview">Sinfield, George. ''Luigi's Mansion'' Official [[Nintendo]] Player's Guide, pages 88-93. "Developer Interview" with team members [[Hideki Konno]], [[Tadashi Sugiyama]], and Hiroki Sotoike.</ref>

As development for ''Luigi's Mansion'' took place alongside the Nintendo GameCube's development, the team was able to make recommendations for increasing the console's capabilities. Among those requests was dynamic lighting, something that team chiefly wanted, which was eventually added to the graphics chip. Working with the Nintendo GameCube instead of the [[Nintendo 64]] saved a lot of time that might have otherwise been spent overcoming the latter console's technical hurdles. The game had also started development before the Nintendo GameCube's console was designed, though the team wanted to use two analog sticks from the start and base the controls largely around the sticks, generally simplifying the controls. Once the controller was finalized and put into use, many of the game's testers commented on how the C Stick was uncomfortable to use for a long time, causing a redesign that made it wider and more comfortable for thumbs.<ref name="Player's Guide Interview"/>

The game's elements, fire, water, and ice, came as a result of the team wanting to "display fire water, and atmospheric effects realistically." Early on, dust clouds used a fixed animation every time the dust was interacted with and the team wanted to make it more interesting through dynamic interactions. One programmer worked on the dust for six months. Another effect that the team handled was the "stretch" effects produced by the ghosts when being vacuumed and a lot of work was spent making sure it functioned properly. Motion capture was used in the game's intro (notably while Luigi is walking in a "very cowardly way") and ending.<ref name="Player's Guide Interview"/>

A lot of time was spent discussing how difficult the team wanted the game to be. This led to work on a control scheme that only used a single analog stick, which was eventually scrapped, though it led to the "Standard" control scheme being added with the "Sidestep" control scheme. This also led to keys automatically showing which door they opened on the map and the team felt that players would be frustrated otherwise. Eventually, the team concluded that they wanted the difficulty to be well-balanced, which was important for a launch title. In a similar vein to ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', they wanted the game to only need a few hours to beat, but also make the player feel motivated to replay it again. This philosophy led to an emphasis on puzzle elements and not item collection and the ability to ignore certain elements of the game.<ref name="Player's Guide Interview"/>

The game's schedule was tight; there were several arguments between the designers and the programmers over which features might not be implemented, but by the end of development, more ideas were being added and not many features were removed. The ability to turn off the flashlight was among those late features, after a suggestion by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] to let the players do more with the other buttons. Miyamoto also suggested that Luigi immediately tap the wall when pressing {{button|GCN|A}} instead of going through a long animation. Luigi's whistling and humming, as well as his ability to call for Mario, were all added late into the game's cycle as well. The humming came about after the team decided that background music would be uninteresting and Luigi's call came about after a staff member suggested it to reinforce Luigi's goal of finding Mario. The team intended for their end result to not be scary for the players; the team wanted to create something innovative that functioned well just from a technical standpoint. They spent time creating a unique style to the game and not worrying about how it matched up to other games, as their game is "different, unique."<ref name="Player's Guide Interview"/>

==Staff==
{{main|List of Luigi's Mansion staff}}
The original game's producers were [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] and [[Takashi Tezuka]], and the director of the game was [[Hideki Konno]]. The music was composed by [[Kazumi Totaka]] and [[Shinobu Nagata|Shinobu Tanaka]]. This was the last original entry in the ''Super Mario'' franchise to be produced under [[Hiroshi Yamauchi]]'s administration as president of Nintendo.

==Pre-release and unused content==
{{main|List of Luigi's Mansion pre-release and unused content}}
Concepts for ''Luigi's Mansion'', such as character designs, were being planned during the [[Nintendo 64]]'s lifetime. Many rooms had different names in one or more early builds; for example, the Foyer was originally called the "Entrance". The Poltergust 3000 used to have a pressure meter and, if it overheated, the Poltergust 3000 would ignite and injure Luigi.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK0tqxyYlXk&t=500</ref> The Poltergust's shape is also more rectangular in one or more early versions.

==Glitches==
{{main|List of Luigi's Mansion glitches}}
===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 {{button|gcn|R}}.

==Reception==
The game has received mostly positive reviews. GameSpot gave the game a 7.9/10, saying that it featured creative and refreshing ideas, but it strays too far from the ''Super Mario'' franchise.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/luigis-mansion-review/1900-2823415/]</ref> IGN also gave it a positive review, giving it a 7/10, praising its graphics, sounds, and gameplay, but heavily panning the lack of any replay value.<ref>[http://au.cube.ign.com/articles/165/165453p1.html]</ref> Nintendo Life gave it an 8/10, claiming it's a well-crafted game, but criticized how short the length of the game was.<ref>[http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2010/10/luigis_mansion_retro]</ref> The game was mainly praised for its clever features and for giving Luigi a starring role. However, it was criticized for its short length.

|''Luigi's Mansion is fun while it lasts, it really is. The control is top notch, the puzzle solving elements mildly enjoyable, and the house a big, unexplored thing overflowing with spirits. The technology powering the game is phenomenal, you won't find better lighting and shadow effects, not to mention cloth physics, in any other game for a good while to come...The problem is that the game doesn't really offer much in the vein of variety. Exploring room after room and hallway after hallway only to suck up ghost after ghost becomes redundant. And the adventure ends abruptly five or six hours after it's started...This may be Nintendo's internal flagship launch title, but it's certainly not the GameCube equivalent of Mario 64, as many of us were hoping for.''

|''Luigi's first solo excursion has flashes of brilliance and is fun while it lasts, but the short amount of time it takes to complete it makes it a hard recommendation. There is some incentive to play through the game a second time, but even that can be done within an average rental period. If you're a serious video game collector or just want a game that will adequately show off your new console, Luigi's Mansion is worth picking up. But for everyone else, a trip to the local rental shop should suffice.''

|''Luigi’s Mansion is a delightful little game, instantly appealing to anybody with more than a passing interest in its heritage, but it isn’t the GameCube equivalent of those platform classics I name-checked at the start of the review. A competent, atmospheric adventure and truly a new direction for the characters, but at this length it simply isn’t worth the £35, let alone the cost of the console. If Miyamoto’s vision of shorter games more often is to become reality, then the pricing structure will need serious adjustment.''

|8/10
|''What Luigi's Mansion lacks in content and longevity, it makes up for with a remarkably well-crafted and unique single campaign that will keep you consistently entertained from front to back. It's not quite on the same level as Mario's better outings, but the game is so entirely different from anything Mario has ever starred in that it feels almost unjust to compare them; and, really, it's this complete departure from the Mario formula that makes the game so successful in the first place. The gameplay design is so uncommon that it's pretty difficult to slap a genre label on it, but suffice to say that if you consider yourself a gamer, you owe it to yourself to give this one a shot.''

==Adaptations==
[[File:Luigi SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|Volume 26 of ''Super Mario-kun'']]
''Luigi's Mansion'' appears in volume 26 and volume 29 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. In volume 26, which usually follows the story of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the ''Luigi's Mansion'' section is condensed into one chapter. The story begins similarly to the game: Luigi wins a mansion. He tries calling Mario's name, but Mario is absent. Luigi then treks to the mansion by himself. After a walk through the forest at night, Luigi is horrified to see his mansion. There, he meets a harmless Boo (案内役 テレサ) that leads him into the mansion. Inside the mansion, he and the Boo find a vacuum, so he tests it on the Boo, much to the Boo's anger. Luigi proceeds to vacuum the ghosts and he even encounters a [[Ghost Guy]], which he doodles on its face.

Luigi then finds Mario trapped in a painting. Luigi is then ambushed by Bowser. Luigi attempts to run behind Bowser, but Bowser twists his head and burns Luigi. While Bowser throws a spike ball, Luigi uses his vacuum to deflect it at him, knocking off the head. King Boo flies out and Luigi proceeds to suck in King Boo, breaking the spell and freeing Mario. The Bowser head, still flying, lands on Luigi's head and Mario, mistaking him for Bowser, fights him. Once Mario realizes his mistake, he immediately regrets what he's done and the Boo watches them. Despite the chapters being seemingly disjointed, Luigi later joins Mario during a fight with [[Huff N. Puff]] and uses a new Poltergust to vacuum the Tuff Puffs.

Not much is known in the segment in volume 29, but Toad travels along with Luigi.

[[Charlie Day]], the voice of Luigi in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', has publicly expressed interest in doing a ''Luigi's Mansion'' film if the ''Super Mario'' film is successful enough to spawn future installments, though nothing has been confirmed.<ref>[https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/luigi-mansion-movie-nintendo-mario-charlie-day-exclusive-interview/ Charlie Day Confirms Interest in Starring in a Luigi's Mansion Movie (Exclusive)]</ref>

*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': The game's [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] is played if Luigi taps all the various instruments in the [[Conservatory (Luigi's Mansion)|Conservatory]]. One of the songs that Melody plays on the piano is a rearrangement of the [[Underwater Theme]]. Additionally, an arranged excerpt of the [[Underground Theme]] is played during the credits. The mysterious "Bowser" manned by King Boo may also be loosely based on the [[fake Bowser]]s from this game.

*''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'': Luigi's NEW Mansion at the end of the game depends on the score the player has, similar to how Wario's abode will end up better with a higher score.

*''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'': Some of Toad's voice clips were reused from this game.
*''[[Paper Mario]]'': Although this reference was lost during translation, one of [[Neville]]'s books (in the Japanese version) is titled "Mario Story" which is both ''Paper Mario''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Japanese title and the title of the book [[Herringway]] wrote about the game's story (also in the Japanese version).

Gadd, an arrangement of the Luigi's Mansion theme can be heard.

Simon and Richter Belmont's debut trailer has Luigi traversing Dracula's Castle with his Poltergust and being extremely terrified of his surroundings before being killed by Death, a clear allusion to Luigi's role in the game and to a lesser extent its sequels. [[Dracula]] being the final boss of Luigi's Classic Mode is most likely a reference to his role in the franchise as a whole.
