Luigi's Mansion is a 2001 adventure game developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development for the Nintendo GameCube, and the first title to place Luigi in a starring role rather than a supporting one. The story begins when Luigi discovers he has inherited a large, mysterious mansion, only to find upon arrival that his brother Mario has gone missing inside. Armed with a flashlight and a specialized vacuum cleaner, Luigi navigates the haunted estate across expansive three-dimensional environments, confronting ghosts, Boos, and various other supernatural inhabitants. The core gameplay revolves around using these two tools in tandem — stunning enemies with the light and then capturing them with the vacuum — while gradually uncovering the fate of the missing Mario. The game marked a notable departure from the traditional platforming format associated with the Mario franchise.
One day, Luigi received an unexpected message: You've won a huge mansion! Naturally, He[sic] 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?" 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! "Mario! Help meee!" That's when a strange old man with a vacuum cleaner on his back appeared out of nowhere! This strange fellow managed to rescue Luigi from the ghosts, then the two of them escaped... 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. Luigi's not exactly known for his bravery. Can he get rid of all the prank-loving ghosts and find Mario?
