Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Luigi's Mansion 2 in Japanese, Chinese and European language versions and was tentatively titled as such in the American version) is a video game on the Nintendo 3DS, and a sequel to the Nintendo GameCube launch title Luigi's Mansion. It was developed by Next Level Games, who previously collaborated with Nintendo on Punch-Out!! for the Wii, and was released during March of 2013 with the Korea and Hong Kong/Taiwan getting it during July of that year. It is the second game in the Luigi's Mansion series.The story finds Professor E. Gadd researching the ghosts of Evershade Valley, but when King Boo shatters the Dark Moon, the formerly friendly ghosts start running amok, and it’s up to Luigi, armed with the Poltergust 5000, to solve this paranormal problem.Unlike the first game, which took place almost entirely inside the eponymous mansion, there are multiple areas to explore, including a snowy mine and a clockworks in a desert. Luigi has a greater amount of items and power-ups at his disposal, such as a flashlight that can reveal hidden items.In February 2013's Nintendo Direct, this was revealed as one of several "Year of Luigi" games to be released in 2013, along with Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and the New Super Luigi U DLC for New Super Mario Bros. U.An Arcade Rail Shooter adaptation of this game developed by Capcom, simply called Luigi's Mansion Arcade, was released in 2015 in Japan and 2017 in North America. A sequel for the Nintendo Switch was released in 2019.An HD remaster entitled Luigi's Mansion 2 HD for Nintendo Switch is in development for a Summer 2024 release. | |

"Get Back Here!" Boss | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_10f5b375 | comment |
"Get Back Here!" Boss: The Shrewd Possessor is like this, and the Boss Battle is very unlike any other in the game (it's sort of like a cross between a bobsled and a shooting gallery). After it takes the form of what resembles a large, monstrous face made of ice (more or less) Luigi has to chase it down a mine shaft in a motorized sled and lob bombs at it to break off its armor, at which point it makes a single attack. If Luigi manages to hit it with one more bomb in its mouth when it tries, the chase ends for the moment, and Luigi is able to use the Poltergust 5000 on the Shrewd Possessor. (The whole process has to be done three times to defeat the creature.) The Health Bar is still in use here, but the greater danger is the sled's engine overheating (which happens if the gauge goes too high, and taking too long or failing to dodge that one attack causes it to go higher). | |

Antepiece | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_13dcb20b | comment |
Antepiece: A couple of mechanics appear to train the player for their use against bosses. Gloomy Manor's penultimate level focuses on burning the spiderwebs that have taken over the house, allowing you to practice with web balls and attached web sacs, which are used to clear out larger webs. These skills are necessary to force the Grouchy Possessor out of his spider host in the boss mission. The Tough Possessor haunts suits of armor, who must be knocked onto their backs by pulling rugs out from under them. The first mission of the Treacherous Mansion features a couple of Greenies with the same tactic and defeat strategy so you know what to do when you eventually face the boss. The Boos you capture throughout the game should have you well prepared for the Big Boo fight, which requires a similar approach. | |

Absurdly Long Stairway | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_143ea829 | comment |
Absurdly Long Stairway: The second boss is located at the top of twenty sets of three staircases. Pick one of three, and either keep climbing, or slide all the way back to the beginning. Once you finally get to the top, the boss ghost clearly has a sick sense of humor, as it possesses a flight of stairs to fight Luigi with. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: The Scornful/Shrewd Possessor boss has you man a bomb-launching sled to blow up its giant ice face first-person style. You use similar machines twice before in the game — once earlier in the level to shoot burning charcoal, the other back in the second level as an optional way to get money and a Gem — but it can still be jarring (especially since it requires more precision and you only have a limited amount of time before the sled overheats). | |

Darker and Edgier: Not for the most part, as the game is largely more cartoony and comedic than the original, but specifically in how King Boo is represented, going from a fairly standard nasty by the series' standards to an unfettered sociopath with a personal vendetta against Luigi. | |

Tempting Fate: Before starting one of the missions, E. Gadd jokes to Luigi that he doesn't have to cower in fear every time the Pixelator starts up, as he's used it a dozen times and nothing went wrong. After the battle with the Tough Possessor, the Pixelator is hijacked by King Boo to beam Luigi to his own dimension. The resulting Oh, Crap! from Gadd after he sees that Luigi didn't return carries a hint that Gadd thought it was his fault. | |

The Sacred Darkness: The Dark Moon itself. It normally projects a powerful calming shade on Evershade Valley that allows the ghosts there to exist happily and peacefully. King Boo shattered it and corrupted the fragments to empower certain ghosts as his minions, but E. Gadd is able to purify any fragments Luigi recovers to their original state. | |

Last Lousy Point | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_23168b93 | comment |
Last Lousy Point: One of the E. Gadd medals requires 100% Completion of the Vault (Gems, Boos, etc.) One of the stipulations is catching one of every type of Ghost, including all of the variants of the Scarescraper bosses. With 5 different bosses, and each having 9 different skins, this means you have 45 of them to catch, and the game randomly chooses from the lot every 5 floors. The game can sometimes be generous and provide you with a long streak of uncaught ghosts, but other times, you can expect to play it out for that last turtle-skinned Gobber for at least a few hours. | |

Lampshade Hanging: Prof. Gadd provides this (naturally, since he's one of the only two talking characters), such as the way the same cutscene plays when Luigi pixelates to a level ('You don't have to cower in fear every time, you know. You've done this over a dozen times and nothing's gone wrong.'), the way they're stuck with each other in the same small bunker, and the way Luigi can carry big items around with him (see Bag of Holding). | |

Artifact Title: Luigi explores various different places, some less mansion-like than others, in this game, rather than a single mansion as mentioned in its predecessor's title. None of them are owned by Luigi to boot, and only two are even legit mansions. The titular Dark Moon, however, is your Plot Coupon, and thus is fairly important. | |

Boss-Arena Idiocy | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_38d17b6c | comment |
Boss-Arena Idiocy: The Big Boo in Treacherous Mansion can be broken apart by spiky objects... and there's a giant train with a drill on the front going around a track nearby for you to fling the boss at. And despite the Boos being unable to be caught in the Poltergust, said train just happens to have a bunch of circus animal style cages lying open as the the rest of its carriages, providing a nice convenient place to trap the ghosts in. The Tough Possessor would be entirely invincible with its suit of armour possessing shenanigans and stuff... except the room just happens to have two infinite respawning carpets on the floor that you can suck away to trip the knights up with. And when it possesses a giant suit of armour... the two carpets are perfectly placed to trip the giant knight up in one go. | |

There's also the story from this article's comments of someone who managed to quit between the Tough Possessor and final battle and find themselves locked out of the final boss and ending as a result. You can lock yourself out of Treacherous Mansion if you play around with ghosts, teleporters, and objects in the Nautical Exhibit. But you have to be really, really trying to pull this one off. | |

Stupidity Is the Only Option: While capturing them isn't required, there are a couple of Greenies in the Treacherous Mansion that will only come out if you fall for their pranks.

Flunky Boss | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_40e2ac3f | comment |
Flunky Boss: The boss of the Gloomy Manor has a swarm of spiders helping it and making it a tricky maneuver when pulling the webbing toward some fire to damage the boss. However, the spiders can be useful, because if hit with the flashlight, they might turn into hearts. The third boss is a 12-wave endurance match against all the ghosts you've faced atop the clock tower, with the Possessor appearing after every fourth wave. Bosses in the ScareScraper always have normal ghosts assisting them. The reason for this is to keep the other players busy so that everyone can't just gang up on the boss. All three bosses in the Arcade version are this, as they will summon in other ghosts to help them out. | |

Voodoo Shark | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_41a894d2 | comment |
Voodoo Shark: Luigi uses E. Gadd's teleport system called The Pixelator to go from his bunker to each level, and regardless of where Luigi's at, he can always be pixelated back at the level's end. At some points, the game features Escort Missions where you need to rescue E. Gadd's Toad employees from paintings so they can be pixelated back as well. However, you still need to escort them to specific points so they can be pixelated out, a problem Luigi doesn't have to deal with. E. Gadd tries to justify it by saying he can't pixelate two characters at the same time, and you need to escort the Toad to his own Pixelator Screen before Luigi can get teleported out, and this is a Voodoo Shark in two ways. First, at no point is it explained why E. Gadd can't simply pixelate them one at a time. Second, the final escort mission has you rescuing two Toads, and they use their Pixelator Screen at the same time. | |

Zerg Rush: The game likes to simply throw a large number of Greenies at you in a small room, which can cause you quite a bit of difficulty if they get on top of you. Doubly so if they're equipped. The Overset Possessor's fight turns into this near the end. This is the whole point of mission E-5, when a paranormal portal opens in the mansion, releasing a large number of ghosts. Luigi must quickly capture them before the dimension itself collapses, and the level culminates with an absurd amount of ghosts fighting Luigi at once. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can: Luigi did this to King Boo in the first game... suffice it to say the can didn't last long. And was apparently rather shoddy, since King Boo broke out by himself before he even found his new crown. Probably wouldn't have broken out so quickly if Elvin Gadd didn't sell his portrait in a garage sale... | |

Long Song, Short Scene | |

Long Song, Short Scene: The Polterpup songs are all differently orchestrated versions of the same tune, but are all only played in a very short cutscene and overlaid with many, many sound effects. It's noticeable enough that no one's ever figured out what these entire songs sound like. There are tons of these in the Possessor (boss) battles. This is because each battle has about six different songs played: one for each 'hit point' the boss has (it gets faster as the battle progresses, except when against the Tough Possessor), one when the Possessor is trying to charge at Luigi outside of its host, one when the Possessor is being captured via the Poltergust, one when Luigi picks up the Dark Moon piece... Each of these songs is likely to be stopped rather quickly during normal gameplay, and completely wrecked by sound effects to boot. The music for when you pause during a mission is awfully long for a screen players will probably only spend less than 15 seconds on. | |

Going Through the Motions | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_4f8a2bbc | comment |
Going Through the Motions: Luigi has a few animations (most of them cowering in one way or another) while he's face-to-face with Gadd. Over the DS, he always has a "hmm mmm" expression even when Gadd is saying things that should be terrifying him and always lets out a big shudder when done with the call. Luigi always cowers with Gadd laughing every time he's sent through the Pixelator, which Gadd lampshades at one point. | |

Obliviously Evil: Unlike the other Evershade Valley ghosts, the loss of the Dark Moon hasn't made the Polterpup Luigi encounters throughout the story hostile. It's simply lonesome and wants someone to play with, but its antics still cause trouble for Luigi. | |

Murphy's Bed: In the first mansion. When Luigi sits on the rather large bed in one of the rooms, it swings up against the wall that the headboard is adjacent to, tossing the poor guy into the next room. This is needed to progress in a couple of missions, and is used to access a 'secret room' in the arcade version. | |

Gotta Catch Them All: The main plot has you working to collect the five missing pieces of the eponymous moon to return peace to Evershade Valley. Along with that, each area also has a collection of gemstones; get them all and you get a figurine. Each level also contains a hidden Boo to capture, and getting them all in one area unlocks its secret mission. The treasure in this game serves a smaller purpose; you can upgrade the Poltergust 5000 by collecting enough money, but the game has way more treasure than you'll ever need. | |

Dark Is Not Evil: The Dark Moon is, despite the name, a Restraining Bolt on the ghosts. Rebuilding it is part of the game. Also, most of the ghosts in this game were actually pretty decent guys before King Boo came and started to cause trouble. In fact, after the battle with the Three Sisters, Professor Gadd remarks that they were very polite and courteous before all this happened, and remarks that he'd like to invite them to "ghost tea" once the situation resolves. (And he does just that, during the end credits.) | |

Using the Strobulb on flowers will usually yield treasure, and watering small shrubs can sometimes cause them to grow into beanstalks that Luigi can use to climb to rooms he couldn't previously access. | |

Charged Attack | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_589e54d3 | comment |
Charged Attack: The Poltergust 5000 can charge up Luigi's flashlight for a strobe like pulse with a greater range, meaning you don't have to spend quite as much time making more light tolerant ghosts, which is nearly all of them in this game, vulnerable, and it can stun multiple ghosts at once. The Poltergust 5000 will also build up meter the longer you attempt to suck in an object with it, allowing for a temporary extra strength pull. This allows it to shave off the health of struggling ghosts more quickly and is necessary when dealing with some ghosts which have unlimited health, so they'll never tire out and can only get sucked in with a forceful charge. Examples include Creepers, who are anchored to the ground with gooey pseudopods, and Possessors, who are weakened by pulling off layers of their skin, not by draining health. The charge is also necessary to get rid of force fields which certain strong enemies can generate, with the color of the field indicating the charge level that can remove it. | |

While they are the first ghosts fought and are the weakest of the ghosts, they are also the most creative and resourceful, as they begin to arm themselves with supplies in the area to attack with more power, and can use their weapons or armor (or sunglasses that must be pulled off) to protect themselves from your flashlight. Some even wrap themselves up as mummies! | |

Cowardly Boss: The Overset Possessor combines this with Flunky Boss.

However, the Overset Possessor himself comes out after you defeat the ones at the four o'clock, eight o'clock, and midnight positions, and he's vulnerable then; like all the Possessors he has to be hit with the Poltergust three times to defeat. | |

The Key Is Behind the Lock | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_65bc52c5 | comment |
In A-4: Visual Tricks, Luigi is supposed to retrieve the Dark-Light device from E. Gadd's Gloomy Manor lab, but the door is hidden by Spirit Balls — which Luigi would need the very Dark-Light device he's going after to remove — prompting him to take a detour. If you redo the mission with the Dark-Light device already in your possession, trying to reveal the door with it causes the Spirit Balls to emerge from the other side of the door. Even if you manage to vacuum them up through the wall anyway, the Boo responsible will simply spawn more to hide the door again (indicated by the Boo's laughter playing again), as if the developers themselves are telling you to play through the level as intended. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_66479d0 | comment |
Our Ghosts Are Different: Obviously. E. Gadd implies that ghosts have the ability to evolve and adapt like living things, and many of the spirits native to Evershade Valley are unlike any he's ever encountered. Boos are apparently different enough to have their own container separate from all the other ghosts Luigi captures and sends to the Vault. Only three spirits are confirmed to have once been living humans (the Three Sisters), while the others are implied to be organic supernatural forces, which is a similar dichotomy between the Portrait Ghosts and the regular enemies from the first game. | |

Beware the Silly Ones | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_6c75e0e4 | comment |
Beware the Silly Ones: The game turns King Boo from a snarky, sympathetic Well-Intentioned Extremist to an insane, unfettered sociopath with a vindictive streak ten miles wide who nearly destroys the universe in a mad bid for revenge. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Professor E. Gadd never tells you that, when sucking up a ghost with the Poltergust 5000, you can press "B" to make Luigi jump in the air... which is a very useful trick to know, since it helps Luigi dodge attacks by other ghosts. You'll need to check out the enclosed instruction book if you want to know about this. There are also many of the gem locations, which range from 'fairly well hidden' to 'absolutely insanely out of the way'. The best known example is in Gloomy Manor, where one gem is gotten by examining a suit of armour to make its helmet fall off, then shooting it at a certain painting. The helmet only falls off in two missions; the third one and the secret one. The painting might only even appear in those two as well. Good luck figuring that out! | |

The Dark-Light Device can reveal their location, but when capturing ghosts, this is not an option. | |

Killer Rabbit: Most of the enemy ghosts. Creepers are described as having a fondness for cuddling, which they express by violently absorbing Luigi into their gelatinous bodies. Boos have pretty much always exemplified this trope, but they now squeak upon receiving damage and being sucked into the Poltergust, and take the form of little Boo Balls when defeated. | |

Theme-and-Variations Soundtrack | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_77550b4f | comment |
Theme-and-Variations Soundtrack: The music that plays in each mansion is a variation of the same melody, arranged and orchestrated differently, likely as an extension of the first game having one theme for the bulk of the mansion. A few examples: Gloomy Manor has a bass clarinet melody accompanied by piano and plucked strings. Haunted Towers has a pan flute melody accompanied by low strings, marimba, and a tribal drumbeat to create a more adventurous atmosphere. Old Clockworks has a harpsichord melody and pipe organ harmony to create a more classical and refined atmosphere. Clockwork Ruins, on the other hand, is an Egyptian-style remix, fitting for the buried mummy-filled environment. Secret Mine has the melody played on bells and a quiet electric bass harmony to create a mysterious atmosphere. Treacherous Mansion has an ominous woodwinds and strings melody to evoke a lurking danger. Numerous Ghost Themes, these two for example, take on the main melody. | |

Boss in Mook Clothing | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_7b7965dd | comment |
Earlier in the game, a Strong Sneaker acts as a miniboss that holds the last piece of a giant clock mechanism in Old Clockworks. Unlike a normal Boss in Mook Clothing, this Strong Sneaker is weaker than the ones found later in the game (Barring D-2 and E-5), but it sits in the sidelines while it sends regular ghosts at the player once it's cornered, and it's fearsome since it comes long before any other Strong enemies (it does have one clever tactic too; this is the Escort Mission, and it can grab hold of Toad and use him like a shield, making itself impervious to Luigi's flashlight for a few seconds). | |

The fact that the dog is the ghost which gives Luigi an extra life if he finds one of the Golden Bones kind of helps you like the little guy. It's the only ghost that Luigi never expresses fear towards, too... just exasperation. | |

Portal Network: E. Gadd's Pixelator, which is used to link the five areas to his bunker. Later levels also have more traditional portals, but they only work in pairs. The final mansion has six pairs of teleporters for navigation, however, with the main hall hosting portals to various exhibits throughout the mansion. These are especially critical because they serve as the only way to carry puzzle-relevant items on your vacuum between rooms, since you cannot use doors with an item on the end of your Poltergust. | |

He's not in the vault, there's no cutscene showing him being pumped out, he's not put in a painting... his crown's jewel also gets an unknown fate. Luigi picks it up and pockets it after the battle, but he's never seen taking it out, nor does it count for any money. | |

Songs in the Key of Panic | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_868e6134 | comment |
Songs in the Key of Panic: The game does this all the time. The bonus missions all have three versions of the theme, with the last being at three times the speed to go with the increased number of ghosts and tense atmosphere. And the bosses do this too, with the last phase having super sped up music to go with the Turns Red feel. There's also the 'you are going to die soon' music used in the multiplayer's Rush Mode, which feels even more urgent as the timer goes down. The one odd subversion is the Tough Possessor fight, where the music actually slows right down for the final phase to go with the Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever feel. | |

Females Are More Innocent | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_86cd25b5 | comment |
Females Are More Innocent: After Luigi beats the Three Sisters (the only female ghosts in the game), E. Gadd says that he is kinda shocked to see them behave so violently, which he doesn't even bother to say about any other ghost in the game. This may also be because they are the only ghosts to really approach character status, as they are similar to the first game's Portrait Ghosts, but without the backstory or visual detail. | |

Blinded by the Light | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_8816272b | comment |
Blinded by the Light: Luigi's flashlight — which, in this game, is used like a dazzler in order to stun ghosts. Some ghosts are wearing sunglasses that must be vacuumed off before the light can be shined at them. Others carry objects or wear buckets and the like. For these, you have to either wait for them to attack before stunning them, or shine them with your Darklight Device, which will make them taunt and open them up to a strobe flash. Some small creatures that aren't ghosts (like spiders, mice, and bats) can be destroyed by the flashlight, which sometimes turns them into Hearts, coins, or bills. Golden versions of these creatures yield more valuable treasure when killed this way. On another note, here's a good safety tip for this game. A fully-lit room is usually safe. (Safe to a point; they might have something dangerous in it that isn't a ghost.) However, a dark room more than likely has ghosts hiding in it somewhere. | |

Mini-Boss: The Poltergeists (each fought in a different level, and each of which requires a different strategy to be defeated) and the Three Sisters (fought together in one battle). They're strong, but do not make up for major boss battles as they're part of standard missions. | |

A few missions have these as well, where a door lets Luigi access a special area where a Mini-Game is played under a time limit. Several of them require him to collect every Red Coin, another requires him to capture all the Gold Greenies in a giant hourglass that is filling with sand, and another requires him to win a snowball fight with three Hiders. All of them have a time limit. The only real tangible rewards are treasure (and in a few cases, Gems). | |

Ghost Train | |

Ghost Train: Invoked in the level "Ambush Maneuver". Prof. E. Gadd shrinks Luigi down so he can enter a toy train set in one mansion. After activating the train, Luigi gets attacked by a giant Boo. He must fight the Boo in the train set, while the train circles around them and Creepy Circus Music plays. Ironically, though, Luigi actually uses the train to defeat the Boo, by using the big drill on its front to split the Boo into smaller Boos, then flinging them into the train cars, trapping them. | |

Forgot Flanders Could Do That: While Luigi is mostly portrayed (in this game and others) as rather clumsy and accident-prone, quite a few scenes in this game show him to be surprisingly handy with tools and very good at fixing things. Then you remember — he's a plumber. He does that kind of thing for a living. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: E. Gadd spends a disproportionate amount of time making backhanded comments about Luigi's fearful nature and skill as a ghost hunter. One time, he even compliments Luigi and says that he "may yet" become as famous as his brother... which he punctuates with a small chuckle, indicating that he was being sarcastic. King Boo has become noticeably more ruthless and sociopathic since the last game, now being willing to experiment on or use his fellow ghosts as bait and attempting to destroy the entire universe when his plans go awry. One of his lines before the Final Boss shows just how much more dangerous he's become: | |

Demonic Possession | |

Demonic Possession: Each of the main bosses except King Boo do this (which is natural, considering they all have the word "Possessor" in the names), possessing a creature or object to fight Luigi. Each Boss Battle requires Luigi to force them out of their hosts somehow to use the Poltergust 5000 on them, and this must be done three times, in classic Mario boss style. | |

Absent-Minded Professor: Gadd has even worse bouts of this than he did in the first game. In one scene, he can't even remember how many Toad assistants he has (made all the more serious by the fact that King Boo is holding them hostage). He even mentions having accidentally sold King Boo's painting in a garage sale. It almost enters Mad Scientist territory, as E. Gadd is seemingly even more erratic and scatter-brained than usual while sending Luigi out to once again capture hundreds of spirits if not thousands in his name. Although he's so old that Gadd may simply be going senile, if he wasn't already. | |

Inescapable Ambush: Happens when ghost begin attacking Luigi, but unlike in the first game it's not a door being blocked, but a magical gate popping out of the floor and barricading anything from an opening to a set of stairs until all nearby ghosts are caught. In these games, this is also marked by the lights immediately going off whenever an ambush occurs. | |

Took a Level in Badass: In the first game, King Boo couldn't battle you on his own; he needed the False Bowser suit. Here? He's firing lightning bolts all over the place, changing size to crush you, becoming intangible, ramming you, and executing divebombing tackles that cause steel spiked balls to rain from the sky. "Fight you like a true Boo", indeed. The Boos in general are much tougher than last time. In the first game, about half of them couldn't attack Luigi at all, and even the ones who could (other than Boolossus and King Boo) usually chose to run from him anyway. In this game, the Boos hide while invisible, and attack Luigi using dangerous ambushes from the shadows (having said that, once you get used to their MO, fighting them isn't too hard). On that note, Professor E. Gadd himself has taken a few levels. The upgraded Poltergust, that completely blows the last model out of the water? His doing. Replacing the fragile process of turning ghosts into portraits with ghost-sealing canisters? His idea. Creating means on the fly to repair and replace necessary items to get through the mansions that the ghosts periodically destroy? He's got that. Heck, a teleporter that only requires a monitor and security camera? Take a guess. In-game example: Most versions of the Mooks have a stronger version that appears later in the game. In comparison to the first game's ghosts, Dark Moon's ghosts are much more crafty and resourceful in general, even without being powered up. The Greenies in particular especially show it, equipping themselves with weaponry and defenses, disguising themselves, adapting to the situation (or to the enviroment) at hand, and just keeping their tactics and antics varied in order to take you down (or make things harder than they should be). | |

Continuity Nod: Looking at the promotional art, King Boo has a new crown. Hope it's more valuable than his last one, which was worth only one gold coin. It's a powerful magic item, but to Luigi, it's worthless. He does take it at the end, but it does not increase his money at all. Luigi keeps the map he used to find the mansion in the last game on his mantel. Luigi actually lives in the rebuilt mansion from the first game. Apparently the Rank D mansion is the canonical onenote not quite as bad as it sounds; the lowest was Rank H, which was a tent. Luigi still "shows that [first boss ghost] who's boss!" E. Gadd mentions having carelessly given King Boo's portrait away at a garage sale to hand-wave his escape and presence in the game. Boolossus (under the name "Big Boo" in the English version of the game) reappears as a boss, and is fought in a similar way to the original game. E. Gadd almost mentions the ghost portrificationizer until the parascope cuts him off. A part of it is used to contain the Boos you catch in the game. One of the Boos introduces itself as JamBoolaya and demands not to be called GumBoo, the latter being the name of a Boo found in the original game. E. Gadd nostalgically reminisces about his and Luigi's last adventure early in the game. E. Gadd once again gives Luigi a communication/map device based on a Nintendo handheld, a DS this time. The Poltergust 3000 is upgraded straight to 5000 because a Poltergust 4000 already exists. | |

Furry Reminder: The final battle plays with this as more of a Mook Reminder. To defeat King Boo, you have to take advantage of the fact that, as a Boo, he'll follow you when you're not watching him and stop in place when you are. | |

Shifting Sand Land: The Old Clockworks combine this trope with Eternal Engine and Big Boo's Haunt. Sand can be absorbed with the Poltergust 5000, but there are other dangers to watch for (such as ghosts disguised as mummies). The boss is the Overset Possessor, which takes control of the topmost floor's clock. | |

Oh, Crap!: Gadd has one when King Boo abducts Luigi in the Pixelator. Luigi gets his fair share over the course of the game too, but the best example is when King Boo gets sucked into the vacuum, only to pull himself back out. Twice. Complete with what is probably the closest thing a Boo can do to a Slasher Smile. Luigi's fear is pretty justifiable at this point. Impressively, some of the ghosts start having this reaction to Luigi as he builds up a reputation in Evershade Valley. Instances include a Greenie in the B-3 mission, a Strong Sneaker in the C-5 mission, and five Greenies at once in the E-1 mission. | |

Luigi can even walk freely on the conveyor belts and gears. The original version of the Old Clockworks implied that the reason they were abandoned was because one of the workers was pulled into the gears and crushed to death. Said version even contained articles of clothing visibly caught in the gears. | |

Always Check Behind the Chair: The game has lots and lots of treasure and Gold Greenies hidden in things like furniture, walls and other random decorations. And once you've done that, get out the Dark Light Device, because it turns out a lot of treasure is invisible unless you shine the light on it for a while and then vacuum the Spirit Balls that appear. It's especially true of the ScareScraper, in which every room has at least two invisible objects, a whole bunch of hidden money and goodies and likely a key or two in completely random locations. | |

Each of the Scarescraper bosses add gimmicks; Bomb Brothersnote Greenies carry huge bombs and drop smaller ones while being vacuumed, Beetle Whisperersnote Slammers have regenerating shields and summon Beetles, Terrible Teleportersnote Sneakers create portals to other rooms, Primordial Goosnote Creepers and Creeper Launchersnote Gobbers can create Creepers (full-size and mini Creepers, respectively), and The Brain can free himself from the Poltergusts. | |

Boss Bonanza: The game normally has one boss per area (not counting minibosses), but The Very Definitely Final Dungeon, Treacherous Mansion, has three. The mansion's fourth mission is initially passed off as the final battle with King Boo, but Big Boo shows up in his place. After defeating him, Luigi has to fight off a horde of ghosts in the next mission. After that, the sixth mission looks like the true final battle. Luigi enters the paranormal portal and ends up in King Boo's dimension, but again, King Boo doesn't show. Instead, he must fight the Tough Possessor, last of the Possessors. Luigi defeats him and grabs the final Dark Moon piece, but when E. Gadd tries to teleport him out, King Boo hijacks the Pixelator and sucks him back in, and the Final Boss battle begins for real. | |

When All You Have Is a Hammer… | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_bf698238 | comment |
When All You Have Is a Hammer…: Much like the first game, Luigi uses only two weapons to fight monsters the entire game: A flashlight to stun ghosts (which is a lot more effective than the one in the first game) and the Poltergust 5000 (an upgraded version of the model he used in the first game; he does upgrade this several times during the course of this game, too). | |

Jump Scare | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_c04b1231 | comment |
Jump Scare: While perhaps not so much to the player, Sneakers are the embodiment of this to Luigi, as their M.O. is sneaking up behind him and giving him a startle powerful enough to break his concentration and interrupt any ghost captures he may be attempting. Subverted in the intro sequence. A Greenie is shown approaching Professor E. Gadd from behind, but as it turns out, he doesn't actually want to scare him. In D-2, you find ghosts being strengthened by being encased in crystals. By the time you get up to them, they disappear, so you peek into one, and see nothing...until a Sneaker abruptly pops up inside before breaking out. Looking into the Workshop window in D-3 gives you a glimpse of the Shrewd Possessor trying to kill a Fuzzball, but the ghost notices you and disappears. Then it pops up right against the window. In E-2, Luigi unlocks the door to Treacherous Mansion before turning around apprehensively, at which point King Boo appears in the doorway behind him and vanishes before being noticed. Later, in the intro to E-3, when you examine King Boo in the final security snapshot, he abruptly turns toward the camera and laughs. | |

Weaksauce Weakness: During part of the Final Battle, King Boo has a weakness that Boos tend to have in Mario games: if Luigi looks at him directly in the face, he covers his face in shyness and cannot attack Luigi or even move. This weakness is part of the strategy needed to defeat him. | |

Once Luigi discovers that Mario was kidnapped, Luigi's cries to the unknown will change to the cries for Mario from the first game.

And if you add in the ScareScraper, it spells ghosts. In German, the first letters of the mansions and bosses spell out G-E-I-S-T. In Dutch, they spell S-P-O-O-K. | |

Harder Than Hard | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_c513249 | comment |
Harder Than Hard: ScareScrapper has Normal, Hard, and Expert, the last of which fits this to a tee. The description literally states 'virtually impossible on your own', which in this case means 'if you're playing solo, expect to have to take on about 10-15 difficult enemies in one tiny room and get crushed' Seriously, 20 odd floors of Hunter or Surprise mode on Expert is damn near suicidal, and 25 floors of Rush mode is basically a death wish. Endless also ends up coming under this, since it seems to start off on hard mode difficulty and end up being as tough or even more so than expert by about the 10th floor. | |

Shout-Out: The opening scene has nods to Poltergeist and TRON. Luigi playing with the teleporters brings to mind the TV advertisement for Portal 2. The final story mission, "A Nightmare to Remember", shares its name with a Dream Theater song. One of the nicknames a player can get when you don't help out much in ScareScraper Mode is "Mostly Harmless". Continuing the previous Ghostbusters shout-outs, there is now a ghost containment machine. In the jungle exhibit inside the Treacherous Mansion, there are Greenie ghosts that use spears to attack. These spears have Tiki masks on them, namely Kalimba from Donkey Kong Country Returns. | |

Metal Slime: The Gold Greenies only appear if you search in certain vases, drawers, etc., and once you find them, they run around you in circles. (Except for one area in the Secret Mine where there are two of them that attack Luigi.) They give out a ton of cash when you suck them in, so it is worth looking for them. A lesser version comes as gold-colored versions of minor enemies such as spiders and mice, which usually drop a gold bar or a wad of dollar bills if you use the flashlight on them quick enough. | |

Lighter and Softer: To the first game, in many ways. While the original was a genuinely scary experience (by Nintendo standards), Dark Moon is much more comedic, has separate missions and more puzzle-solving elements than survival, and the aesthetic is much more stylized and quirky, with Hollywood Darkness in contrast to the true darkness of the first game. The original also has descriptions of the portrait ghosts, how they lived and how they died; this game doesn't have the portrait ghosts anymore. | |

Escort Mission: Luigi has to rescue Toads in several missions. They can't be harmed, so it's more a matter of navigating them past obstacles. If Toad is too scared to follow Luigi, and he often is (each one is very afraid of something that is common in the mansion he's been assigned to), Luigi can carry him using the Poltergust 5000 and even use him like a projectile. In the rescue mission at the Treacherous Mansion (the hardest mansion), Luigi has to escort two Toads. | |

A key scene is in D-2 in the crystal mine, where they are experimenting to make the other ghosts tougher and more vicious, and said other ghosts are visibly scared of them. King Boo is also far more frightening in this game than he was in the first. | |

Kill Enemies to Open: Instead of vine barriers like the original, the game uses purple-colored energy jails that lock up all exit doors until all ghosts in the current area are capture. There's also a special case during the third mission of the fourth area (Secret Mine), when three powered-up ghosts seal the entrance to a cableway car with magical energy chains. These chains are linked to the life force of the ghosts, so Luigi has to hunt them down as he revisits previous rooms. | |

The mission leading to Harsh Possessor has a long staircase puzzle that takes a while to navigate before reaching the whereabouts of the boss, while the mission leading to Overset Possessor requires Luigi to climb the Clock Tower in order to meet the boss at the top. For the remaining bosses, no demanding effort prior to the battle is required. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: In A-4: Visual Tricks, Luigi is supposed to retrieve the Dark-Light device from E. Gadd's Gloomy Manor lab, but the door is hidden by Spirit Balls — which Luigi would need the very Dark-Light device he's going after to remove — prompting him to take a detour. If you redo the mission with the Dark-Light device already in your possession, trying to reveal the door with it causes the Spirit Balls to emerge from the other side of the door. Even if you manage to vacuum them up through the wall anyway, the Boo responsible will simply spawn more to hide the door again (indicated by the Boo's laughter playing again), as if the developers themselves are telling you to play through the level as intended. In A-Boss, Luigi needs to take the elevator to the basement, which he starts the level right in front of. If Luigi instead attempts to exit the room out of one of the doors, E-Gadd will prevent him from leaving and point him towards the elevator. If Luigi continues to do this, E-Gadd will get increasingly frustrated, ending with him yelling at Luigi to take the elevator and face the boss. In the Old Clockworks area, one room features a key guarded by two Slammers... only both of them are too distracted to notice Luigi. Most players would just capture the two ghosts and then grab the key, but if you instead opt to sneak past them, grab the key, and then leave without them noticing, they'll suddenly realize the key is gone and start looking around for it. | |

Bonus Stage: Each mansion has one, which is unlocked by catching all the Boos in the missions prior to the boss. All of them involve clearing out ghosts from randomly chosen rooms. A few missions have these as well, where a door lets Luigi access a special area where a Mini-Game is played under a time limit. Several of them require him to collect every Red Coin, another requires him to capture all the Gold Greenies in a giant hourglass that is filling with sand, and another requires him to win a snowball fight with three Hiders. All of them have a time limit. The only real tangible rewards are treasure (and in a few cases, Gems). | |

Suddenly Voiced: This is the closest the series has gotten to full voice-acting since Super Mario Sunshine — while the characters don't directly speak their lines, they have some clear English phrases. This is most noticeable in the ending, when Mario congratulates Luigi. | |

Toilet Humor: Gobbers, the obese yellow ghosts, run off this. The Polterpup urinates on a garden in Haunted Towers. The first time Luigi meets Polterpup in Haunted Tower, he apparently steps in dog doo it left behind, given the fact that he makes a rather unpleasant face while looking at his shoe. In the Treacherous Mansion, a bathroom is haunted by a Slammer on the toilet. | |

The Chessmaster: King Boo. The opening of E-3 makes it plain that he knew the whole time that you were spying on him and was spying right back at you, and then lures Luigi into the train exhibit to make him fight the Big Boo. This is on top of shattering the Dark Moon so that he would have an army of minions and would keep Luigi busy. | |

Color-Coded Stones: There are thirteen gemstones in each of its five areas, color-coded based on the "theme" of the mansion. Gloomy Manor, which has purple spiders, has purple amethysts; the botanical Haunted Towers has green emeralds; the desert-like Old Clockworks has red rubies; Secret Mine, the snowy region, has blue sapphires, and the diamonds in Treacherous Mansion are as white as King Boo. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Every mission ends by having E. Gadd call you once you've completed the last objective. However, he won't call until all the gold on the field is either collected or disappears, so you won't be stopped from collecting the drops from any ghosts you just captured. In Scarescraper, curses and traps are only active when there's more than one player to save others from them. In the event you're cursed or trapped and the only other people in the game disconnect, you'll automatically be freed to be spared from a Game Over or having to play the rest of the floor with inverted controls. The developers of the previous game had acknowledged that the Boo Sidequest was terribly flawed and made considerable adjustments to reduce the difficulty in having to catch them this time around. The game will auto-save between the Tough Possessor boss fight and the final battle with King Boo, despite them technically being part of the same mission. | |

Hijacked by Ganon: The game plays with this trope. Luigi and Professor E. Gadd don't know who broke the Dark Moon, end up fighting off a bunch of Possessors, and only in the last mansion realize that recurring villain King Boo was behind everything. The player, on the other hand, knows this from the start. | |

Pulling the Rug Out | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_dbea2ee3 | comment |
Pulling the Rug Out: This is how you defeat the Tough Possessor. It first divides itself to possess multiple regular suits of armor, which all must be lured onto one rug, which then must be pulled out with the Poltergust to force the Possessor to exit and regroup. (Some Greenies have a similar tactic and defeat in an earlier mission.) Then it possesses a gigantic suit of armor whose huge feet you need to lure onto separate carpets which must be pulled out in succession. Luigi can also do this to himself, if you have him vacuum up a rug while he's standing on it. | |

Pulling Themselves Together: Luigi has to fight Greenies possessing suits of armor in the Treacherous Mansion; in most cases, he has to defeat them by knocking them over, causing the armor to break apart and making the ghost vulnerable. However, in the Boss Battle with the Tough Possessor later, it can possess two — and then three — suits of armor at once, and if Luigi knocks only one down, it will put itself together quickly. To make the Tough Possessor vulnerable, he has to knock them all down at the same time. (Unfortunately, once he manages to do that twice, it possesses one gigantic suit of armor... | |

In E-2, Luigi unlocks the door to Treacherous Mansion before turning around apprehensively, at which point King Boo appears in the doorway behind him and vanishes before being noticed. Later, in the intro to E-3, when you examine King Boo in the final security snapshot, he abruptly turns toward the camera and laughs. | |

Dub Name Change: In the British English localization, the Poltergeist bosses are known as Boffins, the ScareScraper is called Thrill Tower, several ScareScraper boss ghosts have different names, and some of the levels have different names (such as the final boss, which is changed from "A Nightmare To Remember" to the straight-up "Shatter The Illusion"). Even some of the rooms have different names, despite mostly being straightforward. Can throw one off a bit when consulting a text-only walkthrough. | |

Slammers are like Blue Twirlers, being the resident tough bruiser ghosts of the game. Gobbers are like Garbage Can Ghosts, being large Big Eater enemies that leave hazards on the floor to make it harder to catch them. Creepers are similar to the Ceiling Surprise/Purple Bomber, as they are anchored to their surface, have no HP, and operate by catching the player off-guard to hurt them. | |

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: The first mission in the Haunted Towers is called "A Job For a Plumber", and indeed, Luigi has to restore the water supply to the mansion to complete the mission. Of course, the way he does it — fighting ghosts, monstrous crows, and Man-Eating Plants — isn't the type of thing you learn for such a profession. Professor E. Gadd's statement after finishing the mission implies he doesn't know that Luigi is actually a plumber by trade either. | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Treacherous Mansion. It's a huge castle-like structure suspended on a tiny piece of land above a gigantic ravine/waterfall, which also happens to be a museum based on the earlier levels in the game. | |

Shoo Out the Clowns: Once Luigi gains access to Treacherous Mansion, the Toads have all been found and Polterpup is captured and stays captured. The scares become more and more frequent along with the danger. | |

Running Gag | |

Running Gag: Luigi falling in a different way almost every time he is transported by the Pixelator. Each Possessor scaring Luigi in a different way. Luigi celebrating after defeating each boss, only for something to appear and startle him. | |

Swallow the Key | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_fb72ee2e | comment |
Swallow the Key: Luigi has to deal with the playful yet mischievous Polterpup, who eats the items he needs to progress in three different levels. Each level ends with Luigi finally capturing Polterpup after traversing the entire area and chasing the dog throughout said area. The first two times, Polterpup manages to escape captivity, thus setting up his additional appearances, but after the third time, Luigi gets the dog sealed up for good. | |

Ridiculously Cute Critter | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_fd1f1a63 | comment |
Ridiculously Cute Critter The Toads, even more so than in other games. They're prone to hugging Luigi upon rescue and high-fiving him after solving a puzzle, make a squeaky noise like a soft toy when walking around, get scared easily and cry if they're separated from Luigi for too long, and yell "Wheeee!" if you send them flying with your vacuum. The Secret Mine has Fuzzballs, little fluffy monsters that are only interested in sleeping and playing with Luigi. While they can get stuck in your vacuum and be a nuisance, they frequently roll around to move, and their fur can adorably poof out if you blow on them with the Poltergust. One even smiles at you when the Possessor tormenting it notices you watching through the Workshop window and leaves it alone. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: The Boos once again are all puns with the word "Boo" in them. In addition, the "Possessor" ghosts that serve as the bosses each have an adjective one would often use to describe a college professor, such as "Harsh Possessor", "Tough Possessor", "Grouchy Possessor", etc. In addition, putting the first letter of each of the Possessors' names spells out "GHOST". | |
