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.

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. 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...

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.

[@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.

[@user-br2hb4vr9x]

That's why I dislike arcades, because you have to pay. That's why I bought the 2DS version

[@Aircraft1606.]

Things that make this Arcade version of Dark Moon different from the 3DS version 1.every boss is in the wrong place For example the Twin Sisters are Residing in the Haunted Towers in the Arcade version the Twin Sisters reside in Old Clockworks. 2.Why is every boffin boss a normal boffin instead of a Brain Boffin? 3.why isn't Haunted Towers and Secret Mine included? 4. Game is way too short 5.why Does the King Boo Final boss take place at the Terrace? Instead of King Boo's illusion? 6.Where in the Mushrooms is Mario? I'm guessing this takes place after Luigi Defeated King Boo and Mario Returned to His home In the Mushroom Kingdom Instead Luigi saves a ghost dog that caused Him trouble throughout his adventure 8. Some parts of the game are absent The intro cutscene is strangely absent Luigi does not have the Poltergust right away
