*'''Basic Game Info, by C.S. Booois, a guide to the great mystery of the mansion:''' ''"In his first-ever starring role, Luigi steps out of the shadow of his big brother and into the very spooky shadows of a humongous haunted house. Luigi is astounded to learn that he's won a mansion, especially since he had never heard of the contest in which it was top prize! Luigi shows up one dark and stormy midnight, expecting to meet Mario and claim his prize. But his brother is nowhere to be found! summoning his courage, Luigi creeps up the steps and into the dim and seemingly abandoned house. Suddenly, a glimmering form floats toward him. Could it be a gh-gh-gh-ghost? Even more suddenly, the ghosts shrieks and starts slipping away - into an odd-looking vacuum cleaner wielded by a odder-looking old man. With a mighty heave, the ghost breaks free, and terrified Luigi and professor Elvin Gadd scram faster than you can say "Poltergeist!" Prof. Gadd, paranormal researcher extraordinaire, tells Luigi a strange story about Mario entering the mansion - but not returning! He provides Luigi with a specially modified vacuum cleaner, but perhaps knowing something Luigi doesn't - watches from a distance as Luigi tremblingly re-enters the mansion. Does Luigi have what it takes to become a hero?"''
