Now Viewing: luigi's_mansionTag type: Copyright Covers images that reference this Mario spinoff. It was released in 2001 for the Nintendo Gamecube as a launch title. Despite being a Mario launch title game, it is not a platformer and is a comedic horror game, though Super Mario Sunshine, which was a platformer, came out a year later. As a launch title, the game was designed to highlight the Gamecube's capabilities and there are plenty of special lighting and particle effects in the game. It is Luigi's first starring role in an official Mario game. Luigi discovers a strange mail that claims that he has just won a mansion in a contest, but Luigi has never entered said contest. Luigi heads to the mansion in the mail and discovers, to his dismay, that it is haunted. To make things worse, his brother Mario had gone before him and is trapped within the mansion. By midnight, Mario will be possessed by ghosts. Luigi is terrified, but does his best to swallow his fears and rescue his brother with the help of the Poltergust 3000, a vacuum cleaner designed to suck up ghosts and created by the eccentric Professor E.Gadd. Luigi must gather up all the ghosts in the mansion. There is also plenty of money for Luigi to collect. At the game's end, Luigi will purchase a new home based on how much money the player collects. The game is notable for establishing Luigi's more cowardly characterization in contrast to Mario. It also introduced King Boo as an antagonist. King Boo has reappeared in other Mario spinoffs and will return in this game's sequel. Luigi's Mansion has been included as a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The entire mansion can even be destroyed although it will be instantly rebuilt after a while.
