|The hero and single playable character of the game. Luigi arrived at a mansion he supposedly won, only to find it is extremely haunted. He must push through his cowardice and explore the mansion and find his missing brother, armed with a flashlight and the [[Poltergust 3000]] ghost-catching vacuum. | |||

LM Ghosts.jpg| | |The inventor of the Poltergust, Prof. Elvin Gadd is a paranormal researcher who has a hideout right outside where the mansion appeared one night. He communicates with Luigi throughout the game via the [[Game Boy Horror]], and asks for Luigi's help in recovering his escaped [[portrait ghost]]s and the [[Boo]]s - the latter of which allows E. Gadd to save his game. | ||

There are | 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. | |||

*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. | *Bosses are more difficult, such as having different attacks.
