It seems a lot of games were compiled at weird hours, not too surprising though. Crunch (unrealistically short development times) has been a major issue in the industry for years. Also, most creatives seem to have weird sleep schedules as well, working when inspiration strikes regardless of hour.

[@sarahiguess7110]

This video actually helped me with a childhood trauma I had. When I was 8 or so I stumbled upon the “depressed/possessed Luigi” rumor and the image of him like that TERRIFIED me. I’m talking ‘several nights where I slept with my full lights on sweating in bed’ terrified. Of course, as I grew older, I forgot about it, but whenever I saw that Luigi image it caused a fight or flight instinct in me. But after seeing this video, I was able to realize “hey, it’s not so bad, and is actually some cool history.” Idk if it’s because of your voice/editing, debunking the rumor, or just explaining what it really was that made me not afraid anymore, but thank you. Keep up the great work. I LOVE learning about betas and concepts for things.

This game had an impact on me like no other game I’ve ever played. I’m 24 years old and I remember playing this for the first time on GameCube. Every year, around fall time, I always re play the game. I’ve been doing it for years! I can’t say the same for any other game. What I can tell you about this game is I always felt like I wanted more… from the hidden rooms to the teleportation mirrors… I just remember discovering all these cool things and always wanted more surprises. The biggest thing was, I always wished there was another floor to the mansion or a way to walk around outside or to visit E Gadd at his lab. I wish there were more secrets in the mansion to uncover and every time I play this game I always try to find some new secret door or something even though I know it’s not gonna be there. If they ever re-make this game I’d love for them to add more of those elements. I played LM2 & 3 and it’s just not the same as those dark creepy halls.

[@pphead9960]

I never realized it but you just described what's been bugging me. LM2 and 3 were fine but nothing came close to the charm of the original. Whether it was the dank dark hallways or the ghost designs or maybe just nostalgia I always wanted more to do in it. It was perfectly creepy without scaring me. The sequels just seem too cartoony to be creepy.

[@CodyBPyrotechnics]

@@pphead9960 agreed. I think the biggest issue is the lighting differences between the games. In LM3, the tone of the game is too bright and “happy”. I felt SAFE playing LM3 no matter where I was in the hotel. In the original Luigi’s mansion, there was lightning sounds, dark hallways, and even that part where the mansion loses power and the game forces you to go to the basement and turn it back on. I know this sounds crazy but that was TERRIFYING when I was a kid, but in a GOOD way. The game had a way of scaring me but also getting me hooked on it.

[@pphead9960]

@@CodyBPyrotechnics the fact you made it to the basement as a kid would of been insane to me. When I was a kid I stopped playing when I got to the coat room the first time cus it was so creepy.

Okay, so I don't know if anyone will read this or even care, but I found an old ign article dating back to October 13, 2000, and it talks about Luigi's Mansion. It says that the number of players is...2. This could be at a point where the 2-player mode was being worked on, so that's what ign thought was going to be in the final game. Then again, ign did have a habit of getting literally everything else they predicted in the article completely wrong, saying stuff like, and I quote, "Nintendo insists that the game is merely a technical demo. IGNcube thinks there's a lot more to the story, though. Our general theory is that Luigi's Mansion is not just a demo or even its own game, but rather what we saw was part of the new Mario title." This, of course, was entirely untrue. Luigi's Mansion actually DID turn out to be it's own game, what a surprise! But, here's where things get interesting. The article goes on to mention stuff about the canceled Super Mario 64: Part II, where they say this, "The rumor about this game was that it featured a gigantic world map, perhaps similar to Super Mario Land and Super Mario Bros. 3. It was even said that Nintendo was exploring the possibility of having more than just two playable characters." This sounds oddly familiar, doesn't it? Almost like a very basic description of Super Mario 3D World! Does this mean that plans for 3D World can be traced back to the late 90's, or was ign just making stuff up? Who knows? I just thought it was kind of cool. Edit: Sorry about that, guys! I thought I had the link to the article in here, but I guess I forgot to put it in!

Though i think instead of a life meter, a scared meter would have been a better idea, the more damage Luigi took, the closer he was to run out of the mansion scared silly, thus ending the game.

When E. Gadd talks about how he lives in the mansion and how it was speculated that his Lab was inside the Mansion, Maybe that’s what inspired the idea of the Lab Inside in the Last Resort in Luigi’s Mansion 3.

I have seen a lot of videos on the development of Luigi's Mansion, and I have done plenty of research on the topic, as the game is one of my favorites of all time.

"the game was finished at 3am" "this file was edited at 1am" yeah, probably whatever timezone beta64 is in, since theres a huge timezone difference from america to japan it was more likely done some time in the afternoon

He probably knows that, but don't forget that dummy enemy in Final Fantasy (Forgot the number). The Japanese text in one of the descriptions translates to "This translation is killing me!

On the small changes on the story: I remember watching an interview with, of all things, a guy who was one of the original developers of World of Warcraft, and probably one of the best things he said there was simply "the lore is the first thing to change." So, things like "but mansion was supposed to be an illusion" makes way more sense when you realize that story is by far the easiest thing to change out of anything in making a game.

Anyone ever realize in the beta the rectangular box around the time that flashes around and around is actually a ghost sensor that tells you which direction the ghost is in by flashing in the direction the ghost is in?

[@benlink202forever]

Fun Fact: all of the music in Luigi’s Mansion is synthesized. Even the orchestral main theme

[@DollarTaco]

I was curious about some of those scrapped sound effects, so I did some experimenting. The sound at 57:53 is clearly very slowed down speech, so I sped it up by about 250% to hear it at a more discernable speed. Turns out its just a male voice blabbering like "blahbleuhblehblahblah" with a wavery filter over it to make it wobble up and down in tone. The sound at 58:04 is a female voice sped up slightly and cut off a bit while being played repeatedly. It sounds like something from an official recording like you might hear at the beginning of a pre-recorded message of a phone hotline or something, but she's saying in a very upbeat tone: "Welcome to-". And the last sound after that, I couldnt decipher. sounds like a voice with several filters put over it and then paulstretched slightly, but its definitely something being played once and then played once more in reverse. I think sound design stuff like this is interesting and I find it fun to try and decode some of the ways they make these sounds. You never know if you'll find some sort of neat easter-egg hidden in altered sound effects like those

[@dementedpeep]

32:30 I think the reason luigi starts shivering is you were originally supposed to be placed outside the house, near his labatory entrance once climbing the ladder than you could walk all the way to the house. And from the house to the labatory, it would make sense since every other door in the game is openable, and they put a ladder. Luigi would be shivering once he was outside, so maybe that part of the code got left.
