Gloomy Manor

Template:Location-infobox Gloomy Manor is the first mansion Luigi visits in the game Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. This mansion is similar to Luigi's Mansion from the first game, and is a standard, run-of-the-mill haunted mansion, in the middle of a storm. It is here that Luigi acquires the Poltergust 5000, the Strobulb, the Dark-Light Device, and the second Dark Moon piece. The sub-bosses are three Poltergeists, and the main boss is a giant, purple spider that has been possessed by the Grouchy Possessor, which is located in the Cellar. It has 3 floors and a basement, and features 5 standard missions, a boss mission and a bonus mission which is unlocked after collecting all the Boos in the manor.

History

Luigi's Mansion series

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

Not much is known about the Gloomy Manor besides that it is abandoned. E. Gadd was using this mansion to observe the Ghosts before the Dark Moon shattered. During the time E. Gadd spent studying the ghosts he made modifications to the mansion running pipes and wires throughout the mansion. A statue of Professor E. Gadd can be found in the Patio, suggesting that E. Gadd owned the mansion at some point. The music played before the elevator breaks down is the Pause Menu music from Mario Strikers Charged.

In-game description

I, Professor Elvin Gadd, had been observing the ghosts living in this Gloomy Manor, when suddenly the Dark Moon broke into pieces and the ghosts got all hostile-like!

Missions

Mission		Image	Description
A-1	Poltergust 5000		If we're to restore the Dark Moon, we'll need to get you properly equipped. I've got just the device for the job, but I left it in the Gloomy Manor! Mind fetching it for me, sonny?
A-2	Gear Up		Now that you're properly equipped, let's find those Dark Moon pieces! Paranormal readings are stronger in the north rooms of the Gloomy Manor, so we should start out search there.
A-3	Quiet Please! Quiet, Please!		According to the Parascope, the ghostly activity in the north section of the Gloomy Manor is increasing! Now that you've recovered the gears, we should be able to investigate.
A-4	Visual Tricks		Criminy! Someone's been casting illusions in the Gloomy Manor! We'll need my Dark-Light Device to see through this hooey. I'm pretty sure I left it in the Lab.
A-5	Sticky Situation		Clean up those darn spiderwebs! They're blocking our progress AND they ruin the furniture AND they're just plain gross!
Boss	Confront the Source		This paranormal reading is off the charts! I don't know what's down in that Cellar, but it's not happy. Why don't you...uh...investigate?
Bonus	Gradual Infiltration		We have an...interesting situation. The Parascope is picking up mild paranormal signals in the manor. I'm sending you in to investigate.

Luigi's Mansion 3

In Luigi's Mansion 3, there are several references to its predecessor, including a model of the Gloomy Manor found on the 15th and final floor of the Last Resort hotel.

In the Master Suite's Library, there is a puzzle where the player must spin a pinwheel to spin around a area of the room to create the correct path. Among the choices, is a side with a model of the Gloomy Manor and the Dark Moon above it. When the player first examines this, a short clip will play, with suspenseful music as the camera gets closer and closer to the mansion, only for a Golden Goob to pop out of it. It can only be examined once.

Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge

In Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, Gloomy Manor, as well as its surroundings, form the setting of Mini Luigi's stages, contained in a world called Moonlight Mansion. The dilapidated fish fountain at the left of the front yard, along with the polygonal alley, sharp bar fences, and light poles with rough spiraled designs, retrieve their decorative roles around Gloomy Manor.
