Several times throughout the game, you’ll be given a cutscene that usually involves a ghost terrorizing poor Luigi. Luigi’s Mansion 3 just oozes with personality. This could be used as a form of crowd control, but it really helps create a more action-packed encounter with spirits. This does 20 damage normally and can be used to attack other ghosts. When the meter is full, you can smash “A” to slam the ghosts onto the ground. There’s so much that can be done now that it’s almost overwhelming, but the game slowly eases the mechanics in without any tutorials that overstay their welcome.Įven sucking up ghosts has a new mechanic. That dark light returns, but he now has the ability to jump into the air and knock out everything around him, shoot a plunger and then suck it up to pull something, or create a Gooigi clone that can be controlled by another player or switched to in order to enter drains or slip through gates. In Dark Moon, he gained the ability to use a dark light to uncover hidden objects. In Luigi’s Mansion, he only had the ability to suck up ghosts, flash his light, and blow air.
Of course, I haven’t even talked about how much more decked out Luigi’s arsenal is. Even if I didn’t feel like there was a benefit, I still went out of my way to suck up every item and squeeze through every pipe. That didn’t stop it from being satisfying when you uncovered a secret wad of cash. Gadd shop early on, there isn’t much use for it during gameplay. While you can spend the money in a small E. Like other Luigi’s Mansions, you collect money as you play. Each floor has its own set of gems, and uncovering all of them on a floor unlocks an achievement, but it doesn’t feel like going after all of the gems leads to a fantastic reward, so at times I felt like I was wasting my time looking for them. However, it’s worth coming back to these floors later, as you’re sure to uncover Boos or gems. These floors are actually thinly disguised levels, as there isn’t a way to travel between them besides the elevator. Luigi’s Mansion 3 has a smarter approach to this while making it feel like you’re exploring one giant area, though this time the mansion is actually a large hotel.Īs you progress through the game, you’ll obtain elevator buttons that allow you to go to different floors. While Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon took a more level-based approach, it arguably lacked some of the spirit the first game had by not allowing you to explore a large mansion however you wanted. Finally, our main bro in green has returned with arguably the best entry yet, Luigi’s Mansion 3.
AND YET IT MOVES WII WAD SERIES
While they eventually followed up the 2001 classic with 2013’s Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, the series has been in stasis since, save for a lightgun-esque arcade game. Even now, it’s hard to replicate its style without completely ripping it off, and that’s why no one has tried yet. When it came out, the first Luigi’s Mansion was one of the most unique games I had ever played.
