Game Description
Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon for the Nintendo 3DS continues Luigi’s unlikely career as a ghost hunter, sending him into a series of haunted mansions packed with puzzles, secrets, and mischievous spirits. Equipped once again with Professor E. Gadd’s upgraded Poltergust 5000 vacuum, Luigi must track down pieces of the shattered Dark Moon, an artifact that once pacified the local ghosts but has since left them hostile. The game combines humor, atmosphere, and clever exploration to create a spooky yet family-friendly action-adventure.
Unlike the original Luigi’s Mansion, this installment expands the formula by giving players multiple unique mansions to explore, each with its own themes, challenges, and supernatural inhabitants. The stereoscopic 3D visuals heighten the haunted settings, while creative ghost designs and puzzle-filled environments make each encounter feel fresh. Its blend of exploration, combat, and puzzle solving delivers one of the most polished handheld experiences in the Nintendo 3DS library.
Critically acclaimed for its charm and depth, Dark Moon solidified Luigi’s role as more than just Mario’s sidekick, carving out his own sub-franchise within the Mario universe. Collectors prize this title not only as a high-quality exclusive for the 3DS, but also as the middle chapter in a series that connects the GameCube original with Luigi’s Mansion 3 on Nintendo Switch.
