The game's plot revolves around Luigi defeating [[King Boo]] once again while collecting shards of the [[Dark Moon]] to restore peace to the [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] of [[Evershade Valley]]. Unlike its predecessor, much of the gameplay revolves around completing missions in different haunted locations, as opposed to the entirety of the game's exploration taking place in a single mansion. However, capturing ghosts and collecting treasure remain major mechanics in the game. | The game's plot revolves around Luigi defeating [[King Boo]] once again while collecting shards of the [[Dark Moon]] to restore peace to the [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] of [[Evershade Valley]].

*"''Thanks Mar- Luigi! Is that you?''" - [[Toad (species)|Toad]] | *"''Thanks Mar- Luigi! Is that you?''" - [[Toad (species)|Toad]] | ||
*"''Why, if it isn't my old pal Luigi! Or is it Baby Luigi? I can't tell the difference.''" - [[King Boo]] | *"''Why, if it isn't my old pal Luigi! Or is it Baby Luigi? I can't tell the difference.''" - [[King Boo]] | ||
==Notable mistakes and errors== | |||
*During some cutscenes or mission result screens, the lighting and special effects will vanish at random. For example, when Luigi is confronting King Boo, it is possible that the cutscene won't add the crystal glow effect when King Boo charges his crown. It is unknown what causes this and it seems to occur randomly. The glitch ends after the cutscene. During the mission results screen, certain parts, like the speaker, go missing at random. This is most noticeable in the [[Old Clockworks]] and [[Treacherous Mansion]] boss fights. The Old Clockworks is missing the "screen glow" effect, and Treacherous Mansions speaker will vanish. | |||
*During the [[Poltergeist]]'s introduction cutscene, the piano keys on the far left are falling through the piano. This mistake happens when the Gold Spiders and Mice are captured as they are part of the cutscene. | |||
*During the cutscene after beating the [[Grouchy Possessor]] and after talking with E. Gadd, E. Gadd's theme sometimes plays over the cutscene as the single spider scares Luigi. | |||
*In some copies of the English version of the game, after Luigi has restored the Dark Moon and returned the ghosts to normal, the Greenie that appears right at the screen within the Ghost Container in E. Gadd's Bunker is missing its mouth. This Greenie will still lack its mouth when it leaves the container after E. Gadd releases the ghosts. This mistake is not present in Japanese copies of the game. | |||
*During the scene where the Slammer has a Greenie in its mouth, the vanes on the gate behind them will vanish. | |||
*In Mission B-3, when Luigi sees the Greenie and Slammer removing the last pinwheel vane, the other vanes can be seen under the Greenie but are not there after the cutscene. | |||
*In mission B-Boss, if the 3D is off, black patches will appear during the first cutscene. | |||
*In Mission B-1, The Flashlight overlays the Poltergust 5000 during the cutscene for a few seconds. | |||
<b>[[King Boo's Illusion]]</b> | |||
*In the cutscene where [[King Boo]] is firing up his power-enhancing jewel, the jewel will sometimes not flash and boom, but the sounds will remain there. | |||

===Toad through | ===Luigi's left arm glitch=== | ||
If Luigi calls with the {{button|3ds|Pad}} at the same time he does something else, such as opening a door, he puts his arm down instead of using it normally. However, the animation is otherwise unaffected. For example, when Luigi wipes his hands at the end of a level, he only uses one hand, as the other is resting by his side. This glitch is easiest to see when Luigi gets a call from E. Gadd or picks up a gem. The glitch ends after the mission ends or Luigi is controllable again. | |||
===Toad through floor=== | |||
In Old Clockworks' Mission C-5: [[Piece at Last]], after saving Toad from his Painting, if the player heads to the Maintenance Hub, shoots the Toad across the chasm to the floor above (leading to the Service Elevator room) and makes their way to him, the Toad falls through the metal floor. There is no explanation for this glitch. | In Old Clockworks' Mission C-5: [[Piece at Last]], after saving Toad from his Painting, if the player heads to the Maintenance Hub, shoots the Toad across the chasm to the floor above (leading to the Service Elevator room) and makes their way to him, the Toad falls through the metal floor.
