Overview
Description

Luigi steps out of Mario's shadow and into a spooky mansion filled with ghosts. Armed with a flashlight and the Poltergust vacuum, he must capture mischievous spirits while searching for his missing brother. The game blends adventure, action, horror, and comedy in expansive 3D levels. Guided by Professor E. Gadd's inventions, players navigate eerie rooms, solve puzzles, and uncover secrets. Luigi's timid bravery creates a charming, family-friendly haunted house experience that rewards exploration and clever ghostโ€‘catching tactics.

Step into the shoes of Luigi in his very first starring role in a platform adventure, set within the world of New Super Luigi U. With Mario nowhere to be found, you must navigate over 80 brand-new, fast-paced courses where every level challenges you with a strict 100-second timer and Luigi's distinct physics, featuring high jumps and unique slides. Enjoy high replayability as you master each demanding course alone or with up to five players, including the invincible newcomer Nabbit. Whether playing via the downloadable expansion or the standalone physical release, share your triumphs with the community and help Luigi finally save Princess Peach's captured castle!
