About this game
Luigi searches the Last Resort hotel for his missing friends, working through its differently themed floors. Flash the Strobulb to stun a ghost, catch it with the vacuum, and slam it onto the ground. The same equipment helps investigate rooms: attach a Suction Shot to an object and pull its rope, or reveal invisible objects with the Dark-Light. Gooigi changes how you tackle obstacles. His soft body passes through iron bars and dangerous traps, but water makes him dissolve. Switch between the two characters in solo play, or share their roles in local story co-op. Completed floors remain available for further treasure hunting.
Collected in series
Luigi’s Mansion sends Mario’s nervous brother into haunted buildings to catch ghosts and untangle their puzzles. A flashlight, a ghost-catching vacuum and a close look at suspicious furniture turn each room into a little investigation, with plenty of comic surprises.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A good fit for players who enjoy inspecting rooms and using tools to solve problems alongside ghost-catching action.
The vacuum’s combat and object-manipulation functions suggest an adventure built around trying things on suspicious surroundings. Gooigi adds a separate question: which character can reach the next obstacle? Players who enjoy this kind of spatial problem-solving may appreciate the opportunity to revisit floors for treasure.
Strengths
- Using the same equipment for ghosts and furniture can make exploration and combat feel connected.
- Distinct Luigi and Gooigi abilities give local partners a concrete reason to coordinate.
Weaknesses
- Gooigi’s vulnerability to water can interrupt exploration for players who prefer to keep using one character.
Who it is for: Players who like environmental puzzles, searching rooms for hidden objects, or cooperating through complementary character roles.
Play notes: Story co-op divides control between Luigi and Gooigi; Gooigi still dissolves in water.

| Dimension Stunning and capturing ghosts sits alongside pulling furniture and revealing hidden objects. That combination may suit players who like experimenting with equipment as much as reacting to enemies. | Reviewed | 8.8 / 10 | Not provided |
| Dimension A haunted hotel with changing floor themes gives Luigi’s rescue mission a concrete setting. Players drawn to exploring unusual interiors may find that premise especially appealing. | Reviewed | 9.7 / 10 | Not provided |
