Well, it's the Gamecube
Launch title, and with
Luigi's brother, Mario,
they're both part of
history-in-the-making
systems. Mario was the
launch title for Nintendo
64 and his brother is now
part of the Gamecube launch.
With my jaw-excersize
out of the way,
here we go.

Wow, you're thinking this right-off-the-bat: "Oh my god, this ChaosDemon
guy lost his mind, Luigi's Mansion?  Luigi's Mario's faithful sidekick!, he
doesn't have the right to star in his own game!"  If you're thinking this,
you need to get out of your closet a little more these days.  Luigi's Mansion
is one of the most anticipated titles for the Nintendo Gamecube.  The Nintendo
Gamecube is the next generation of gaming, with the crisp graphics and now
a wireless controller?!  With a launch title of Luigi's Mansion, the Gamecube
is at least worth a look at.  And the price of Gamecube starting at 299$
Canadian?  I say why not?  Just remember one thing, Luigi's Mansion, it isn't
typo, it's really life, pal.
It's about time you take a pinch at yourself to see if you're not dreaming
or not.  But Mario is "strangely" missing, and when the main character is missing,
you'll need a good substitute.  And if you really think hard, why not Luigi?
It's finally time for Luigi to step out from the shadows and into the light,
but unfortunetly, Luigi will need a pretty decent LIGHT to help him out in
this Gamecube launch title...
Now with the busisness aspects of the game explored, let's get to the
gameplay part of the game.  Luigi this time leads the way for the cast, rather
than being number two every single time.  Luigi wins a contest without any
contestants in it.  And his prize you say?  A huge mansion, and this is HUGE,
I mean H U G E!  But, huge mansions, creepy painting, weird noises, a nutty
professor always leads upto one result...the ghost hunt of your life.
Luigi is frightened the first time he lays his eyes on this huge mansion,
and when he steps in, it gets just even worse for our beloved friend Luigi.
This nutty professor offers infromation and a vacum cleaner to help Luigi
rid the ghosts that haunt Luigi's Mansion and thus starts a great game of
epic porportions...

L U I G I ' S  M A N S I O N  Q & A
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Welcome to Professor Demon's Q & A part of his _good_ FAQs!  You can email
me with your questions too at: vampiro_07@hotmail.com
Q: Are you REALLY not nuts, I mean you're writing a FAQ for a game called
"Luigi's Mansion"!
A: No sir ree, I am not crazy, and if I was, would you be reading this on
GameFAQs right now?  But now that you think of it, we're all a little crazy
in one way or another...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Q: No really, are you crazy?
A: NO!!! I am not crazy, and if you ask that question again, I'll be forced
to cry like a girl!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Q: Okay, okay, settle down tiger.  Where can I get my own copy of Luigi's
Mansion? (if it actually exists that is)
A: [Growling]  Yes...it...does...exist...you...can...buy...a...copy...of...
Luigi's...Mansion...at...Electronic...Bountique...or...Wal-Mart...Future...
Shop...or...your...local...electronics...store
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Q: Will Luigi's Mansion only be about slaying ghosts and stuff?  'Cause that
doesn't really sound like a good game.
A: Actually, it is about slaying ghosts, but searching for each of the ghosts
can keep you busy for four hours of continuest play, plus several bosses are
also in the works, just like any other Shigeru Miyamoto game.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Q: I'm wondering why they don't just make a game for Mario and he searches for
his brother, and _he_ rids his mansion of ghosts, just like any other traditional
Nintendo game.
A: Actually, simply because Nintendo have been receiving a lot of letters
talking about how come Mario keeps getting the spotlight.  And "Mario's Mansion",
it just doesn't have the same ring to it, right?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Q: How much does Luigi's Mansion cost?
A: 74.99$ Canadian in Future Shop, but a lot of places might be more cheaper.
So, before you buy, shop around.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Q: How is it even possible to get a copy of this game?
A: I was lucky enough to be able to camp near the Future Shop because I live
kind of near (like two blocks) =)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Q: How many levels are in Luigi's Mansion?
A: There's a first floor, a second floor, a third floor, a roof and a basement.
That comes to five(5) levels for you to conquer.
...wow, answering those questions was kind of tough.  Again, you can email
me your question at vampiro_07@hotmail.com

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controls
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analougue stick
----------------
This makes Luigi walk, run and even tiptoe.  To perform the
walk, just slightly press the analouge stick in a direction.  To perform the
run, push the analougue stick to the farthest possible.  To perform the tip-toe,
really, really, really, slightly, press the analougue stick in a direction.
Camera stick
------------
Originally, this stick is designed to allow you, the player to switch the
camera angles around, but in Luigi's Mansion, there's an exception.  In this
Gamecube launch title, the camera stick is designed for Luigi to aim where
he wants the flashlight and the Poltergust 3000.  This is crucial to capture
the ghosts that lurk the mansion.
A button
--------
The main action button of the game.  Use it to open doors, tap walls,
and to move or shake objects.  If you're not near an open door, a wall, or
an object, you'll make Luigi scream out: "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaario!!!"
B button
--------
When holding down the B button, you'll shut off the flashlight that Luigi
depends so much on, leaving the poor guy alone in the dark *duh-duh-duh*.
You can use this to your advantage though, you can easily startle a ghostie.
To do so, when you know you're near a ghost, quickly release the B button
to stun the ghost in this room.  Poor ghost, he never saw it coming.
X button
--------
By holding down the X button, you'll toggle on the Game Boy Horror, Exploration
mode.  Why should we use the Game Boy Horror you say?  Well, you can use this
to look at something closely or maybe you just want to look at the mansion
with it's beautiful graphics.  For some ghosts, you'll need to look at their
hearts to learn how to deafeat them.  The Game Boy Horror is also neccessary
if you want to find the hidden rooms with some extra cash, a.k.a, $_$, a.k.a
ching-ching!
Y button
--------
By pressing the Y button, you turn on the Map screen.  Press up or down on
the analogue stick to see cycle through the floors available, and press left
or right on the "A" stick to rotate the map.  Press the A button to zoom into
a location and press the B or Y buttons to put away the map.
R button
--------
The R button switches the Poltergust 3000 on allowing you to capture ghosts
or rake in the items.  Hold down the R button for rapid-fire old-school vacuming.
Z button
--------
By pressing the Z button, you'll switch on the status screen.  Doing this is,
yes, you guessed it, also useful!   In the status screen you can check out
the items you've located, cash you've "earned" and as well as check out
info on the portrait ghosts you've captured.
START button
------------
Yes, you've guessed it, press the Start button to pause the game.  Umm...you
can use this when emergencies for the washroom break in, or you want to somethin',
etc., etc...
Boo Radar
---------
This small dot in the right corner of the screen will let you know when a
Boo is nearby. Boos will only appear in cleared rooms. If the Boo Radar
shows blue, there are no Boos in the room. If there is a Boo in the room,
it will show yellow. Boos hide in objects, so you'll need to move around
the room. When the radar flashes yellow, you are getting closer. When it
flashes red, you have found the Boo. Vacuum the object to flush out the Boo.
Note: The Boo Radar won't appear until after you've released the 50 Boos.
Element Counter
---------------
The Poltergust 3000 is a really good weapon for you to use.  It's a really
unique vacum because it can capture ghosts for you AND, that's right AND it
can be powered by three different elements.  The three elements are: water,
fire and ice.  By vacuming up the elements, you'll fill up your Element Cou-
nter.  When you dispel an element (for example shooting water out of your
Poltergust 3000) your element will eventually be used up and yes, that's a
bad thing.  While using an element, keep one eye on the counter so you won't
"accidently" use it up, and when you seriously need it, you won't have it.
Professor E. Gadd's Laboratory
------------------------------
When the game starts, you'll be in the Professor Laboratory.  You can think
the professor's lab. as the "Ghost busting Headquarters".  Whenever you
A: restart the game, or B: beat a boss, you'll be transported back here!
Here's the list of things you can do here
• Pressing Room - The Pressing Room is where defeated bosses are stamped
into portraits for your lovely Portrait Gallery.
• Training Room - Obviously Mario didn't hit the training room, or he
wouldn't have gotten lost in the mansion. Hone your ghost busting skills
here so you can tackle all the bad things that go bump in the night.
• Portrait Gallery - Check out the portraits you've found and see just how
many you have left to find.
Types of Ghosts
---------------
There are a few different types of ghosts. Each requires a different
strategy to beat. To beat any ghost you must expose their heart; then you
can suck them up with your Hoover. The trick is getting their hearts to
show.
Normal Ghosts - These ghosts can have some different looks to them, but all
are easily sucked up by Luigi's vacuum cleaner. Flash them with your
flashlight (sadly, there is no button that makes Luigi drop his pants) and
then turn on your vacuum cleaner. You'll need to keep the vacuum cleaner
aimed on them until they are completely disposed of.
Masked Ghosts - Some ghosts wear masks, making them a little tougher than
regular ghosts. The trick is to suck off their mask first. Once maskless,
they are just like regular ghosts and can be stunned by your flashlight.
Cash Ghosts - These are tough ghosts to nab. They hide in cupboards and
closets, waiting to scare poor little Luigi. You will have to flash them
quickly and then suck 'em up. They disappear fast so be on your guard
whenever opening a cupboard, cabinet, drawer, or closet. If you manage to
catch one, he'll leave behind goodies like gold, money, and gems.
Fire Ghosts - These nasty fellows have a fire protecting their hearts.
To beat a Fire Ghost you'll need to attach a Water Emblem to your vacuum
cleaner. This will let you spray water to put out the fire protecting the
heart. Once the fire's out, you can treat these babies like regular ghosts.
Water Ghosts - Like Fire Ghosts, these ghosts have protected hearts. Use
the Ice Emblem with your vacuum cleaner to chill out.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Luigi
-----
Why would the game be called "Luigi's Mansion" if Luigi's not in the game in
the first place?  And this time, Luigi is the playable character, not Mario!
Luigi, being the unique guy that he is, is even more unique as a main character.
how come he's a hero that's: a)afraid of the dark b)frighten by ghosts and
c)gets startled every single time someone...something touches him?  Even
though he's just like an average shmo, Luigi's is prepared for what's ahead.
Professor E. Gadd
-----------------
Professor E. Gadd is the nutty professor in this game, but he's more like a
mentor.  Professor E. Gadd offers information and your main weapon: a..vacum.
Nope, that wasn't a typo.  Professor E. Gadd supplys Luigi with the tricked-
out vacum to snagg the ghosts and rid Luigi's Mansion of the haunted madness.
It doesn't appear to be a great weapon and (if my active memory serves me
correctly) this is the first time in history that a video game character uses,
not a sword, nor a gun, to slay enemies but a Vacum Cleaner.
Big Boo
-------
The Big Boo from many other titles(notably Super Mario 64) has one thing in
his mind: vengeance.  Not only is he the leader of the Boos, but he's already
snagged one half on the dynamic duo known as "Super Mario Bros." and he's
out to snag the other half, Luigi, is victim number two, but will he suceed,
or get captured-into-a-vucum-cleaner trying?
Mario
-----
Not only is he not the main character anymore, but he took the role of the
"being rescued", Luigi is out to rescue his red counter part and he's going
to need your help doing it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Items
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Welcome to the item section!  I'm going to tell YOU every single item
available for you in Luigi's Mansion!  When searching for the many ghosts in
Luigi's Mansion make sure you search every nook and cranny in the Mansion
for items, too!
Poltergust 3000(the vacum)
--------------------------
Your Primary weapon against the lurking ghosts in your mansion, is your most
reliable.  You'll need this vacum to suck in each of the ghosts and take
retire them...permanetly.
Game Boy Horror(GBH)
--------------------
Professor E. Gadd will not only give you the Vacum, but he'll also hand over
the variation of the portable video system known as the Game Boy Color, the
Game Boy Horror.  The Game Boy Horror(GBH) will provide you with information
and an interlink connection with Professor E. Gadd.
You can use your Game Boy Horror to view a map of the mansion, see the immediate
area from a first person perspective and gather clues.  When the Boos escape,
your GBH[Game Boy Horror] will help you find them.
The Flashlight
--------------
Here's the secondary item of your aresnal, you will need the flashlight to
stun the ghosts in their tracks and then take them in with the Poltergust
3000.  The Flashlight is some what a bit more used than the GBH, making the
flashlight the secondary weapon.
Hearts
------
A lot of ghosts pack some really mean attacks, and that causes Luigi to reel.
Luckily, thanks to these helpful Hearts, you can heal the wound(s).  When
your heart meter is lowering, you can find big and small hearts to refill
that meter of yours, and that's something to be greatful for.
Cash a.k.a $_$ a.k.a ching-ching!
---------------------------------
It's an old tradition for Mario and Luigi to locate gold coins, but the stakes
just got a little higher in Luigi's Mansion.  The treasure that can now be
located in Luigi's Mansion include dollar bills, pearls, diamonds and even
gold bars!  This is just another reason to play Luigi's Mansion. :)
Mansion Keys
------------
Once you've conquered a room with a bunch of spirits, you'll usually earn a
useful item.  Most of the time you will earn a Key, allowing you to goto other
rooms in the mansion.  Remember to explore a lot, 'cause the former hero known
as Mario will need your help.
Saving Toad
-----------
Locating Princess Peach's assistant, Toad on several occassions on your twisted
quest.  Locate Toad to save your progress -- or non-progress to your GCN
Memory Card.  It's important to save often, in any game.
Shrinking Shroom
----------------
Touching these deadly, spotted mushroom thingys will cause havoc for Luigi.
It won't poision him, but it'll shrink down and that'll make Luigi lose his
ability to capture ghosts for a short period of time.  When you see one of
these things, keep from a safe distance until then dissapear.

a)Foyer
In the start of the game, you'll be in the Foyer point of Luigi's new
mansion, with only your trusty Flashlight and your determination to finish
this thing.  This level doesn't have anything for you do, so you should work
on some ghostbusting moves.  You can look around at your surroundings, and
practice using your flashlight (I.E. switching it off).  Do some callings for
Mario (but there will not be a reply from him).  Go around and check the locked
doors and scan the Foyer.  Now head back to the entrance, now, a key should
appear.  Grab it and run up the stairs and to the double doors.  Press the
A button to use the key and open the doors.  Now sit back and watch the cinema.
This cut-scene is about introducing a fellow named Professor E. Gadd who saves
Luigi from ghosts.  You'll now be taken to the Professor's ghost reasearching
laboratory.
b)Professor E. Gadd's Laboratory
Now that you've learned more about the whole issue with Mario and that
he's in some serious trouble.  If you want to even come close saving Luigi's
brother, you'll need some serious A+ skills.  So, let's get training!  The
professor will send you to the Training Room so you can get work your skills
up.  Now, to survive the challenges ahead, you'll need to train really well.
Some key things are: using your flashing your flashlight at ghosts will stun
them.  Once their heart is in your sight, use the Poltergust 3000 to capture
the ghosts.  After your short training is over with, the Professor will offer
to take you to the Portrait Room, or you can start with your journey and look
for your brother.
Look around in the portrait gallery and talk to Professor E. Gadd.  He'll
tell you about the twenty-two ghosts that escaped from their repsective portraits
Now that you've learned more about the background, you'd probably want to actually
do some playin' right?  Thought so.  Okay, talk to the professor and say you
want to go back to the lab.  He'll ask you where you would like to go here and
choose the mansion to begin the most anticipated quest of the season.

a)Foyer
Welcome back to your mansion!  Arriving here is your first test, conquering
what's ahead will be a little harder...OK let's get on with the walkthrough!
You'll see Toad crying as soon as you get it.  Watchout for the chandelier above,
if you step under it, it'll fall on you.  Talk to Toad to save your game.  If
you want, you can use your Poltergust 3000 to suck in the carpet so Luigi can
take a look at how good of a good-lookin' guy he is.  Now quikly run up stairs.
*ChaosDemon's One minute tip* Always remember to shake objects to reveal some
helpful items.  If you can't shake them, trying using the Poltergust 3000 on
them.  Shake anything from vases to drawers.
