Luigi's Mansion Arcade - Full Game Playthrough

A longplay for Luigi's Mansion Arcade, released in 2015 by Nintendo and Capcom.
The game is based off Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon, which makes sense considering that came out 2 years prior. It features the same ghosts and locations and even some ScareScraper exclusive ghosts later in the game, which I think is really cool.
The gameplay is pretty simple. Luigi moves automatically whereas the player controls the Poltergust 5000, which can be used to obtain treasures and defeat ghosts.
The game is notably pretty difficult, giving the player only 2 hearts. This makes sense considering it's an Arcade game though.
The game even features unique boss fights, although it uses the same bosses from LM2.
There are 3 levels in this game:
Gloomy Manor: The starting mansion. It's the only mansion that let's you pick a path. The boss is "The Brain" ghost in the Piano Room.
Old Clockworks: The 2nd level in the game. The bosses are "the three sisters", who oddly enough appear in Haunted Towers in the 3DS game.
Treacherous Mansion: The final level and King Boo's home. Here you'll fight some unique ghosts...and that's basically it. No puzzles really. At the end you fight King Boo who is pretty fun tbh.

I love how when Mario finishes a game he stuffs his face with cake or something. But when Luigi finishes a game he just takes a nap.

Luigi "after using my vacuum against hundreds of ghosts, im going to nap for a while and do it again in a loop" Mario: "that's nice"

[@DiamondDude-fo3ku]

I actually played it for the first time at Dave and Busters yesterday, we did 2 player mode, and we got all the way up the The Treacherous Mansion, and defeated King Boo. Not a bad version of Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon for the 3DS in arcade form 😄👍🏼

tbh, it would've been nicer if Capcom pulled randomly from the 5 mansions available in Dark Moon and had more branching paths, but they did good for what Nintendo let them do!

One time I played this game at Dave and buster’s and after I was done playing it I think my phone must’ve slipped out of pocket while playing this and I lost my phone and I was freaking out and I couldn’t find it anywhere and I started to cry until someone was nice enough to give it to the lost and found as soon as I went to the lost and found and I got my phone back, thank god nobody stole it.

Yo, I played this Arcade game a few days ago! I felt so happy to find this in an arcade building.

[@Star_Mans_Legacy]

Tbh. I think Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon had the best ending than the other two in the series ( The other two so far. ) Because there were so many heart warming moments in it. And Dark Moon was just a Master Piece, though it was more Puzzle like, still a great game. And the best ending in my opinion...

[@thejbirdtm3331]

I agree dark moon deserve more love it's a really great game

[@liamnebula]

it is the best for wholesome things but it will never ever have the same dreadful horror the first game did..

I think LM2 HD could use these models instead of changing the artstyle, you guys already have a high quality Luigi right there!

[@melonoshi]

It kinda does look like they used it. certainly doesnt look like luigis mansion 3 luigi

[@leebydeeby]

I remember playing this last year at Dave & Buster's! The rattling of the controllers (when you pick up coins) was definitely very distinct and jarring, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and wish I could go back and play it again, but the current circumstances kinda prevent that... :/

It's basicly dark moon vr so the 2nd thing u said is more accurate

For real though, the first game was really scary. If they made another one of these arcade games, it would be with that.

[@mr.eyeballs2307]

Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon but: 1. There's only 3 Mansions to explore. 2. The Mansions are short. 3. You move automatically slow. 4. The boss ghosts are in the wrong places. 5. The boss ghosts and King Boo getting sucked into the Poltergust 5000 looks terrifying. 6. You can use the Strobulb on King BOO.

[@xinpingdonohoe3978]

Ignoring the Possessors. The first, third and fifth Mansions all had Boffin bosses: three Boffins, the Boffin Elder and a Strong Boffin. You can't have Boffins for all three bosses in this game. That's why the Three Sisters are in a different Mansion. Also, it being The Brain makes it more interesting than a regular Boffin.

Kinda funny how King Boo has more health in this game than he does in the actual game.

[@Erik_Emer]

Usually in Luigi's Mansion, sucking up multiple ghosts sometimes gives hearts, so the only way to stay alive is to be good. But not having hearts and expecting players to be 90% perfect at the game or expecting them to pay to continue is use a dick move.
