The Lab first appears in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and in [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. Besides the main room, the Lab also consists of the [[Portrificationizer Chamber]], which houses the [[Ghost Portrificationizer]], the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], where the [[portrait ghost]]s caught are kept, and the [[Training Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Training Room]].
 
It is here that [[Professor E. Gadd]] informs [[Luigi]] about the mansion and its ghosts near the beginning of the game, and later provides information on [[Boo]]s. This is also where E. Gadd asks the player where they want to go; to the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Mansion]], the [[Training Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Training Room]], the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], or, once the game is beaten, the [[Luigi's Mansion#Hidden Mansion|Hidden Mansion]]. In the remake, when E. Gadd asks Luigi for the first time what he wants to do, he receives a call from the future E. Gadd, who presents to him [[Gooigi]], a copy of Luigi that can be used in co-op play.
 
It is implied that the lab is located underneath a small shed outside the Mansion's property, as there is a ladder leading out of the lab's main room and the professor is seen waving at Luigi while standing near the shed during the cutscene that plays whenever Luigi leaves the lab for the Mansion.
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, the camera has a different angle to fit with the screen and show the second player.

The lab in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' is referred to as the '''Bunker''', and serves as [[Professor E.

Gadd's head, and its interior features several monitors and an assortment of technological equipment. From the Bunker, E. Gadd uses the [[Pixelator]] to send Luigi to the various mansions of the valley. A platform in the floor takes [[Luigi]] to [[E. Gadd's Vault]], where captured ghosts, money, and [[gem]]s are stored.

The Lab first appears in Luigi's Mansion and in its remake. Besides the main room, the Lab also consists of the Portrificationizer Chamber, which houses the Ghost Portrificationizer, the Gallery, where the portrait ghosts caught are kept, and the Training Room.

It is here that Professor E. Gadd informs Luigi about the mansion and its ghosts near the beginning of the game, and later provides information on Boos. This is also where E. Gadd asks the player where they want to go; to the Mansion, the Training Room, the Gallery, or, once the game is beaten, the Hidden Mansion. In the remake, when E. Gadd asks Luigi for the first time what he wants to do, he receives a call from the future E. Gadd, who presents to him Gooigi, a copy of Luigi that can be used in co-op play.

It is implied that the lab is located underneath a small shed outside the Mansion's property, as there is a ladder leading out of the lab's main room and the professor is seen waving at Luigi while standing near the shed during the cutscene that plays whenever Luigi leaves the lab for the Mansion. In the Nintendo 3DS remake, the camera has a different angle to fit with the screen and show the second player.

The Bunker has a dome-shaped exterior modeled after E. Gadd's head, and its interior features several monitors and an assortment of technological equipment. From the Bunker, E. Gadd uses the Pixelator to send Luigi to the various mansions of the valley. A platform in the floor takes Luigi to E. Gadd's Vault, where captured ghosts, money, and gems are stored. The Bunker's interior can briefly be seen in the 3DS remake of Luigi's Mansion during the call from the future E. Gadd.

After obtaining the fourth floor's elevator button from the Mezzanine and returning it to the elevator, E. Gadd introduces the Shopping Network, which allows Luigi to buy Gold Bones, Boo Finders, and Gem Finders for 1000G apiece. He also gives the Luigi the ability to warp to the lab from anywhere in the hotel instead of having to travel back to the garage. However, he cannot do this if he is escorting a Toad or there are ghosts after him.
