Luigi's Mansion (ルイージマンション, Ruīji Manshon^?) is an adventure video game developed by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube in 2001. Luigi's Mansion was a launch title for the GameCube.

Luigi's Mansion is the first official Mario game to star Luigi exclusively as opposed to most earlier Mario titles that featured either Mario by himself or both of the Mario Brothers. Luigi's Mansion features a unique set of goals and ways to attain those goals, involving stunning ghosts with a flashlight and promptly sucking them into a vacuum cleaner, which is aptly named the Poltergust 3000.

Storyline

One day, Luigi received an unexpected message: You've won a huge mansion! Naturally, he got very excited and called his brother, Mario. "Mario? It's me, Luigi. I won myself a big mansion! Meet me there and we'll celebrate, what do you say?" In his excitement, however, Luigi doesn't realize that he never actually entered a contest with a mansion as the prize.

Luigi tried to follow the map to his new mansion, but the night was dark, and he became hopelessly lost in an eerie forest along the way. Finally, he came upon a gloomy mansion on the edge of the woods. According to the map, this mansion seemed to be the one Luigi was looking for. As soon as Luigi set foot in the mansion, he started to feel nervous. Mario, who should have arrived first, was nowhere to be seen. Not only that, but there were ghosts in the mansion!

Suddenly, a ghost lunged at Luigi! That's when a strange old man with a vacuum cleaner on his back appeared out of nowhere! This strange person managed to rescue Luigi from the ghosts, then the two of them escaped... (Though there was no light involved as you need light to defeat these ghosts when you actually later play in the game)

It just so happened that the old man, Professor Elvin Gadd, who lived near the house, was researching his favorite subject, ghosts. Luigi told Professor E. Gadd that his brother Mario was missing, so the Professor decided to give Luigi two inventions that would help him search for his brother.

Gameplay

To combat the ghosts, Professor E. Gadd arms Luigi with two of his inventions: a Poltergust 3000 and a Game Boy Horror (a spoof of Nintendo's Game Boy Color handheld). The Poltergust 3000 is a high powered vacuum cleaner designed for capturing ghosts and ghouls. When ghosts approach Luigi, he first must shine his flashlight on them. This stuns them, causing them to show their heart in fright. Luigi then has a chance to capture the ghosts by pointing his vacuum at the ghosts and sucking at them until their health (starting from 0-500) reaches 0. However, the ghosts will put up a good fight to not be sucked up. They try to flee from the vacuum's vortex, dragging Luigi around. But if the player tilts the control stick away from the rebelling ghosts, Luigi will stand his ground and pull the ghost closer to the vortex, thereby making their health decrease faster. The ghosts are held inside the vacuum until Luigi returns to Professor E. Gadd's hut where the ghosts are then turned into and stored as paintings. When these paintings are made, they are stored on the wall in the gallery. Later in the game Luigi locates three mystical medallions which allows him to expel fire, water, or ice from the Poltergust 3000 after first capturing an Elemental Ghost, which are only found near their elements (leaky taps for Water, candles and fireplaces for Fire, and the refrigerator and champagne cooler for Ice). The Game Boy Horror is a portable device that allows Luigi to search items in the mansion to find out what they are or to find out if a Boo or Portrait Ghost is nearby and if so how to defeat it; The Game Boy Horror also contains a map of the mansion and lets Luigi contact Professor E. Gadd.
