Luigi's Mansion in all its creepy glory.

This article is about the place Luigi's Mansion. For more uses, see the game and course.

Luigi's Mansion is a huge mansion that Luigi must go through in the GameCube game of the same name. Luigi uses a Poltergust 3000 to suck up the Boos, Portrait Ghosts, Mouse Ghosts and other ghosts, all in order to find Mario, who has gone missing. Towards the beginning of the game, Professor Elvin Gadd revealed to Luigi that the mansion was built the ghosts, who had deceived Luigi; by the end of the game, Luigi's Mansion was destroyed and, with the funding Luigi had collected on his adventures, rebuilt in a considerably nicer form, which varied depending on the amount of money collected by the player during the game time. (Inexplicably, the new mansion has only reappeared as a cameo in the background of the Luigi Circuit course in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, while the regular, now-ruined mansion has reappeared several times.)

Luigi's Mansion has made a few reappearances most notably in the Mario Kart series; it has been seen in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, where it is a battle course, and Mario Kart DS, where it and the surrounding Boo Woods is a race course.

The mansion also made a cameo in Mario Power Tennis where it is in the background of the Luigi's Mansion court and Terror Tennis mini-game.

It even appears in Mario Hoops 3-on-3 as the second playable court in the Flower Tourney. Ghosts abound on the court and will grab the ball should it cross their path. Players must jump to grab the ball back. Interesting to note is that the baskets are attached to ornate chandeliers.

Trivia

• Luigi's Mansion is similar to Big Boo's Haunt of Super Mario 64 in that they are both haunted, Boo-filled mansions trekked in three dimensional platformers.
• Luigi's Mansion's two, yellow-lit windows bear resemblance to eyes if the porch is to be thought of as a mouth, making the mansion look rather alive. Interestingly, the Monster House of the animated movie Monster House has similar face-like features, although to a greater extent.
• The foyer of the mansion appears in a mini-game of Super Paper Mario.
