Is it Possible to Beat Luigi’s Mansion if You Clone Luigi?

Luigi's Mansion 3 just released for Nintendo Switch! But, unknown to many people, the original dual adventure between Luigi and Gooigi started in a much earlier form way back on the GameCube. An unfinished hidden multiplayer exists in the original Luigi's Mansion and trying to beat the game while in this mode is a bit complex. So, is it possible to beat Luigi's Mansion if you clone Luigi? We're about to find out! And we're definitely in for a ride...

I’d say the way that the functionality derailed towards the end, including the lack of dual compatibility on certain actions (correct me if I’m wrong, but it looked like a lot of the final floor portrait ghosts didn’t require using both Luigi’s to accomplish a task) sort of implies where the multiplayer eventually had to be scrapped during the development. Either due to lack of time or the inability to resolve these problems during testing.

[@Yesterdays.Answers1217]

Totally agree

[@shatteredrubyheart9082]

to Be honest I think one of the main reason's it got scrapped at a certain point was well think about it for a second if Mario is trapped who else would have went to the mansion with Luigi? yeah you could say some different colored Toad or something or Daisy but we all know Nintendo would have never done that so yeah to be honest that to me is the biggest reason that is my opinion though

Luigis mansion and sunshine are my fav

[@TheSefirosu200x]

In order from best to least best but still great, the top five GameCube essentials are: Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, Metroid Prime, TLoZ Twilight Princess, TLoZ Wind Waker and Luigi's Mansion and, yep, Luigi's Mansion is on that list, so this checks out! Edit: However, Prime and Prime 2 are 500% better on the Wii.

[@theradman9478]

player 2 can actually enter doors fast you need to be lined up with the doorknob in the front and the seam between the door frame and the door you can go through quickly the side is harder and almost impossible to get through the door by winging it. Hope this helped - TRM of the luigis mansion speedrunning community

[@pewdiepiedaniel]

At my work we have the Luigi’s Mansion arcade game. It’s a full immersive black box you sit in and use actual real poltergusts. It even has feedback you feel in your hands and you get a first person perspective inside the mansion. It even has 2 player mode. No modding needed. It’s incredibly fun having grown up with Mario and even thoroughly completing Luigi’s Mansion 3. If you ever get the chance you HAVE to play it. It’s a completely new experience

[@thecomicsario]

OHHH, SO HERE'S WHERE THE SECOND LUIGI FROM MARIO GALAXY CAME FROM

The door glitch can be solved by adding the Unlock All Doors action replay code. Just gotta be careful to do things in exact order otherwise the game breaks (boos will despawn after being found). Also, when P2 is low on heath, exit the game and reload as player 1 only and get health. Save and Reload the game again with 2 players and P2’s health is restored!

I can confirm that it’s possible to beat the game with 2 Players. Me and my friend are doing a play through on my channel.

[@noname-jt6kl]

Hey swanky, I think I know why the second Luigi can't open doors very well. Since the objects in the room unload, the door doesn't work properly if player one leaves due to being partially unloaded. This is why it works fine if player 2 enters first and then player one follows, as the objects are still loaded.

Hey swanky I just wanted to let you know I absolutely love all the content you create and thumb up everything you create. You deserve so much more for the effort you put in! Keep it man! :)
