Luigi’s mansion 3 is straight up one of my favourite games ever just cause of the endless amount of charm that’s injected into every facet of it, not to mention the awesome locations, soundtrack and bosses. It’s my personal number 1, and my favourite game from my favourite video game character.

In a way, Luigi is incredibly brave. Sure, he gets scared by everything, but every time he gets scared, it's to the exact same extent. It may seem cowardly that a falling pot scares him, but the fact that an eldritch god would elicit the same reaction is astounding.

[@nutball3756]

Luigi's Mansion was never open world

[@XWNORST]

honestly, i was disappointed with how dark moon turned out, but i just chalked it up to being made by a different developer, so i gave it a pass and it turned out alright, mechanics aren't really something you need in a horror game, which is what I'd call the original luigis mansion, whereas the newer more cartoony ones are closer to a spooky game, where it's more silly antics rather than genuine fear of some horrific graveyard shadow that's come to life out of rage. all in all though, 1 has to be the best, 2 is pretty good, but with 3 I just couldn't stand it, idk maybe the overemphasis on "haha dog" just ruined it for me

Therefore, released during the event were several games, collectibles, and downloadable content with Luigi as the main focus. The Year of Luigi was originally announced during the February 2013 Nintendo Direct and in early December, Reggie Fils-Aime stated that it would continue into 2014, which was confirmed by Satoru Iwata in the Nintendo Direct on December 18, 2013[2].

The Luigis Mansion Games are definitely the BEST Luigi Games

[@beepsparks2835]

This is probably biased because it was my first Luigi’s Mansion game, and I developed a HUGE OBSESSION over it over the summer, but Luigi’s Mansion 3 is my personal number 1, as I had an extremely fun time playing it, enough to the point of going out of my way to get all the collectibles and A rank before I even beat the final boss. Along with that, even when certain floors (like Floor 10) got long an annoying, the anticipation for the next boss always kept me going. Also, each puzzle is just wonderful and every boss has so much charm and personality, some little details even hidden in their fights, for example, the first boss in the game, on floor B1, most players would finish it in less than a minute, but if you stick around, you’ll notice that Steward will hide behind one of the objects, and peek out to look at you before picking up another suitcase. Also, I’d like to say that the fact that there is an original song for EACH bossfight is amazing, I love when games have separate boss themes for each boss, and since this game has so many, you have to give it to the devs for making so many songs for their bosses. And the soundtrack absolutely slaps, sometimes I’ll just listen to one of the boss themes and have a fun time while I’m doing something, heck, sometimes I’ll even draw some of the bosses, as their designs are quite fun to draw, Steward and Amadeus Wolfgeist being my favorite bosses in the game to draw. But yeah, I love Luigi’s Mansion 3, and its an absolutely fun experience and the bosses make the game even better, probably the only bosses I didn’t like as much as the others were King Boo (due to it being difficult for me to get the bombs into his mouth, and to pick up the bombs in general), Chambrea, Serpci, and Polterkitty.

And I know people say the first game is open, but it kinda isn’t. You go to a room, defeat the ghosts, and go to the next room. It isn’t that much more open than 3.

In fairness, it’s not like the original game’s bosses were that much better, if at all. Those were pretty straightforward and basic for the most part and the final boss was an outright improvement in DM. LM3 is the only one in the series that has consistently good bosses, I’d say.

[@Cakepan_Doughboi]

@@CK-iv1lq I can't speak for 3 cause I haven't played it yet but the original's bosses had a lot of personality and charm and they never felt frustrating to fight at least to me.

[@CK-iv1lq]

@@Cakepan_Doughboi Boolossus was incredibly frustrating because of how the Boos he splits up into keep moving away from your vacuum. Getting those last few ones was quite annoying. But the rest of them weren’t really frustrating. They were just very, very basic for the most part. Nothing quite as egregious as the staircase right from DM but none of them stand out on gameplay alone. As far as the key bosses go, Chauncey was nice enough but a bit repetitive, and Bogmire (though his design was cool) was even more straightforward. He only has one real attack. Boolossus was actually an interesting battle on paper but it could have been a little less obnoxious as I noted. Van Gore was just an enemy gauntlet (so kinda like DM’s clock tower boss but less interesting because it didn’t have the clock hand gimmick), but the final boss was quite solid… just not as good as DM’s. Of course, there are numerous portrait ghosts throughout the mansion, but I wouldn’t consider many of those actual bosses. Some don’t ever attack you and even when they do, it’s usually just one. Of course, a few of them (namely the fat one, the twins, the toy soldiers, and a handful of others) are actually full-fledged battles, but they don’t make up a majority. The bosses in the original game certainly win out on the charm element and it annoys me to no end that DM didn’t follow up on that, but as actual gameplay experiences, they’re just too straightforward and basic. Now, DM has its own issues as far as bosses go. The spider boss was good but the manner of defeating it was a little vague at times. The staircase boss was complete garbage and absurdly easy compared to the rest of the mansion; should’ve been a plant or something. The clock boss was just an enemy gauntlet. The ice boss was honestly great conceptually but they could have toned down the difficultly a bit. The knight boss was great, and the final boss even more so. And the minibosses were generally serviceable if not that special (except for the last two Poltergeist bosses).

I wonder why Dark Moon wasn't simply called 2 in the US

[@Kaise3_9666]

Something that I related just now: In the Luigi’s Mansion games, to communicate with E-gad you use previous devices as a visible easter egg. The Game Boy in the first Luigi’s Mansion. The original DS in Dark Moon. And even The Virtual Boy in Luigi’s Mansion 3; or as I would like to call it Luigi’s Hotel.

I don’t understand how people complain about Lm2’s exploration there’s a mission in every manor that opens the entire place for exploration Also in my opinion maybe nostalgia bias the lm2 combat is way funnier than lm3

[@felipemiotolindo]

Oh dark moon, my fav game of all time, not even kidding! This was problably the game that i played the most, i 100% it, and dont regret. The joy this game gave to me (and still does) is incredible

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

I know Dark Moon is far from perfect… But it gave us the Luigi’s Mansion franchise back so I can’t be too hard on it. If Dark Moon didn’t exist, who knows if we ever would have gotten Luigi’s Mansion 3? And who knows? We may get more LM games down the line since Nintendo finally accepts the fact that we love this series.

[@roadsignaluk4592]

in the end of Super Luigi Bros, the reason why Mario is at the end with Peach is because Bowser kidnapped both Mario and Peach (probably)

[@asc3nded397]

I never understood why people didn’t like Luigis mansion 2. I thought it was an absolute blast and I personally much prefer it’s graphically design than the design of Luigis mansion 1

[@espurrseyes42]

It's too cartoony compared to LM1 (which was notably more serious and scary), and the mission system makes the mansions less interesting. And the mansions in general aren't as good as the one mansion in LM1 that had a reason for existing beyond being needed for gameplay and felt less like your average Mario level in LM form and more like an actual mansion that people live (or lived) in. It just had way more personality and depth than any of the Dark Moon mansions.

[@absolea4676]

@@espurrseyes42 Too cartoony is really personal I for example love cartoon designs ! The mansion in 1 may have been really realistic and charming but really there wasn't that much to do. 2 and 3 have a lot of differents mechanics and the always changing environment enable to have more interesting gameplays. As for the missions. Well I didn't find LM1 that much open to be honest. People calling 1 an "open world" are definitly wrong for me. It has nothing to do with games that let you explore the world freely. It is really linear and you really feel that the "roam around freely" thing is just a facade. You still must go from A to Z while passing by B, C, D etc in order.

[@espurrseyes42]

@@absolea4676 There's plenty to do in the LM1 Mansion. There's like 15 Speedy Spirits and 10 or so Gold Mice, some of which require you to find hidden cheese. There's hidden gems including the plant in Area 2 you need to water in that Area and the next 2 Areas to get the highest value gem in the game. There's a few completely optional bosses you don't have to fight. There's TONS of things to scan that Luigi can comment on as well as some bits of lore ranging from info on the Portrait Ghosts (that sometimes serve as hints) to a piece telling you about the cheese mice. There's a whole Hard Mode for replayability. And speaking of replayability, since the game is so short (you can reasonable beat it in a single night, coincidentally the same amount of time the game takes place in), you can run through it multiple times to try and break you high score or even do a Zero Money Challenge if you're up for that. LM1 at least has the decency to obscure its linearity by having the path you take be very non-linear. LM1 is like Genwun to 4 PKMN: The overworld looks very open, you wind up cutting a line of mainquesting short to run off elsewhere to continue the mainquest, there's some optional areas you can mess around with, and you can even tackle certain bits of required game out of order. It's no BotW, but it's certainly better than doing mostly on rails missions that barely let you deviate from the main path and explore (which is made counterintuitive by the ranking system). The LM1 mansion FEELS open and explorable, and that's what counts.

[@buddygass3728]

@@espurrseyes42 honestly always hated the way the ghost looked in the first game and the mission system I never even really noticed to be that big of a problem

I played LM2 first. While I like it, it's my least favorite due to not having ghost bosses

Luigi's Mansion 3 is one of the most charming games I ever played. It's absolutely hilarious and is brimming with personality

[@broodrooster06]

Haven't watched the vid yet, but luigi's mansion 1 should be 3rd, 3 second and dark moon 1, imo. ( you can replay missions, unlike luigi's mansion 3 and has better missions and graphics then 1.)

[@brockwee]

1 is the best, 3 is second, 2 is the worst.

[@NotScared]

To me 1) 3 2) 2 3) 1

[@TheRealJangjuviusJohnsonIII]

You know I've never seen Luigi mad in a game like he's always either scared or just portrayed as a goofy brother in games and I've just always wanted to see Luigi mad in a game due to something happening like Mario dying in some way or like in a Mario and Luigi game when either brother is knocked out then the brother who is still conscious gets a boost in attack and that's how they make Luigi mad in some way

[@zabooka]

Luigi seems to be doing pretty well compared to Mario. He has a mansion, he’s taller, and Mario is just running around the sewers in search for coins. Luigi may have a huge fear of ghosts, but at least he has a good life. Great job, Luigi! Keep it up!

Techically Mario & Luigi: Dream Team is a Luigi game. Mario is there yes but even he takes a secondary role to Luigi since he gets the most focus and development. Hell all of the main field moves in the game revolve around using Luigi

[@itzyaboibamer1610]

I think that I prefer dark moon over three. But I do think that number one is the original.

[@Pairofscissorspng]

2: That's because they wanted the original game to have 3d effects, what I don't understand is why they didn't release in 2015
