For me, the moment I realized Luigi's Mansion 3 was god-tier was during the disco floor. During the fight with the dancing ghosts, if you look closely, you can see Luigi snapping his fingers to the music, despite how scared he looks.
@@erikbihari3625 honestly, disco was always a real bop, I still think it sucks that it fell outta touch at some point. But I guess the 2000s were too edgy for that, folks don't dance at discos and nightclubs anymore, they shamble around to mid music with cups on their hands.
I always thought it was hilarious that Luigi could call out for Mario like he doesn't know where he is, _immediately_ after seeing him trapped as a painting.
Eh, I don't get that vibe in the slightest, but hey, go with whatever rationalization works for you. Doesn't hurt nothin' to think of it in a way that makes sense to you.
45:10 I kinda like that fact, that Gooigi is made of ectoplasm and coffee and even tastes like it, which I feel like relates back to Super Star, since E Gadd had that coffee shop that we never saw again, which could point to a coffee addiction maybe which could kinda explain his weird inventions that come in handy, especially considering his sudden career in ghost busting would require him to stay up at night
The coolest part about the 3DS version of Luigi’s Mansion is how it’s technically a separate event taking place in an alternate timeline due to LM2 E Gadd sending a beta version of Gooigi to the past
@@mattygee6852 Luigi’s Mansion 3DS had a multiplayer co-op mode where a second player could play as Gooigi. The ingame lore reasoning for this was that E Gadd from the future (his video feed shows it’s during the events of Dark Moon) sent Gooigi back in time to his past self to outsource testing of Gooigi’s capabilities
@@saml302 forced backtracking with the cat? yeah that was probably my biggest complaint too - it was fun ONCE, but then got really annoying. otherwise a great game and EASILY a candidate for the best looking game on Switch.
Dark Moon is the only Luigi's Mansion game I've ever played and I loved it as a kid, I just couldn't get enough of it. I remember me and my cousin always playing the multiplayer at every family gathering. Those were some fun times.
Love how he talks about the ending of LM2 and the reunion between Mario and Luigi being sweet, but doesn't even mention the reunion scene in LM3 which had me in tears bc seeing Mario that excited and proud of his brother was something special
Luigi is maybe considered to be the "Player 2" for Mario, but when it comes to dealing with new challenges and foes that he needs to overcome, Green Mario proves that he is doing good in the game so he's doing good in life.
Luigi's Mansion 1 is really difficult to watch someone new play. I watched a friend play it and the game had absolutely no mercy on them. I had no idea the game could be so punishing and difficult! They ended up not finishing the game unfortunately.
Also if you’re one of those people that expect people to 100% it like “oh they missed a speedy spirit” or “oh they missed getting a gem” or “oh they missed watering the flower”
what I always found interesting about Luigi's mansion 3 is the stakes got raised way higher with princess peach the toads and Mario all being made into paintings meaning it became a much bigger rescue mission for Luigi, also Professor Egat tries to tries to bail after luigi freed him from the painting, until Luigi explained to him the situation that the stakes were much higher.
I find it funny how egadd isn’t rlly an ally as he cares about himself more can’t forget how he made bowser jr’s paintbrush in sunshine he can play for both sides
I feel like you undersold the ending to dark moon This was during the time of luigis year where its just pure luigi celebration. You got dream team for the rpg series, a new super mario bros gane but it was entirely luigi themed And then this game with mario as soon as he got out of the painting saying "Luigi! You save a mario!" "I... I did it?" "Way to go, heh your number one!" "Aw..um--- thank you mario-" MY HEART COULDNT BEAR IT---
I remember when I bought Luigi's Mansion 3, I was dressed in my halloween costume. I then drove 1.5 hours to visit my sisters, still in costume, where we planned to marathon the game, on our own systems. We ended up just playing Mario Party 6, and called it an early night, but it was still a great experience. 10/10
King Boo is that kind of villain that is a threat when he does things himself. I can imagine a title where King Boo is sick relying on others to get Luigi, and a main mechanic of the game is evading King Boo who decided to take matters into his own hands. That would be metal
You can even see it in 2 that King Boo doesn’t care about his subjects anymore as in 1 where he tells them all to flee and hide After 2 defeats he doesn’t care about world domination anymore he just wants Luigi gone and when he made that giant painting he doesn’t care if he goes down with him that’s how desperate he is
No lie, i rewatch this retrospective often even as the three seperate videos. Yours and caddys takes on 3 especially are loads of fun to enjoy and listen to over and over
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I actually really enjoyed the clock "boss" in Dark Moon; I know that it was just an enemy gauntlet, but I love clock imagery in general, and the sound design - such as the hands "slamming" into place - was so good imo
Did this last night. Really hated it. There are lots of parts of this game I never want to do again so I've let go of the idea of 3 starring everything but many parts still I do enjoy, enough to want to see it through anyway.
I think Luigi's Mansion 4 should take place in a village, where you could go to several places which would be large areas with lot in them to explore: Spooky School. Haunted Campsite in middle of a dark forest. Abandoned Amusement Park Train Station with a ghostly Train ride. Possessed Art Gallery Church and a cemetary. Ghostly Toy Factory. Harbor with haunted ships. Townhall.
@@onepunchman4444 Luigi's mansion 4 should take place in Twilight Town from TTYD, because it just sounds soo awesome.Luigi, Doopliss shenanigings, am I right? He does not visit Chapter 4 at all, we could even see Vivian and it just fits the atmosphere of the franchise soo well.
29:25 You actually can call Mario's name, it just isn't until you find out that he's been kidnapped. It's pretty late in the game sure, but I always thought it a nice attention to detail that fit with the games story.
20:25 Since he took care of ghosts last time... That's what Luigy gets for being competent, others starts to rely on him and drag him to do their dirty work. But it is good, bercause it let him grow and come out from Mario's shadow.
I added this video to my "watch later" list yesterday, when I watched it earlier I noticed the "unlisted" sign underneath, now I know why :) Loved this compilation, keep up the amazing work!!
Luigi’s Mansion is my favorite game franchise of all time, and Dark Moon is my favorite game ever. I got my 3DS and my Switch because of this franchise. And the arcade game is fantastic. Long Live Luigi’s Mansion
I never got the complaint Dark Moon felt less “lived in and natural” E Gadd said in the first game the Mansion suddenly just appeared a few nights ago. The Mainson in the first game is even more fake than the ones in Dark Moon
I think its more about the fact that the first game was very committed to the atmosphere and the bosses which the next two games lost. Although the third game tried to bring it back but ultimately it's just way too bright and cheery for me.
still honestly a perfect way to celebrate luigi’s 40th anniversary this year, since nintendo probably wont do much for it (hopefully im wrong but we’ll see)
Then again, Nintendo did have to suffer a *456* Million dollar loss from the anniversary, so chances are their probably just put Luigi related items in the Nintendo NY store and call it a day.
My daughter and I replay Luigis Mansion 3 every Oct. We need more games in the series! The first game was actually what got me to buy the Gamecube as a kid.
One of my favorite aspects of 3 is the pure tension in the story. All the ghosts feel like they're out to get you as opposed to attacking you just because you're there and trying to get them, and King Boo being more so an ever-present threat instead of a mysterious force pulling the strings is very welcome and adds a lot to the character with his whole thing being revenge now that he's been thwarted twice, and actually seeing all the characters in portraits on the game over screen amplifies this so much. And Luigi being as timid and wet cat as ever makes his journey so much more fun because of how anxious he is, and the finale is so much more impactful too! I can't wait to see what they do with this series next!
41:08 the fact that Luigi here actually is sad from what he has done make me feel so much regret (and i think its actually the only time he his sad when doing that Oh yea! after catching a ghost)
It's complicated. I really hate a lot about this game, but enjoyed its highs so much that overall I really like it, but just won't play it again, probably.
I think for the third game they could of kept King boo hidden and have us think Helen gravely as the main antagonist. Like she tells us to capture the portrait ghosts to save the hotel but we are deceived by each capture weakens the seal on King boo’s portrait.
I thought i had gone crazy. I saw this video in my feed while at work and figured oh cool i watch this when i get back home. Got home, it was nowhere to be found. Felt gaslighted
Blame it on me and a few others. We kinda called him out for this one glitch where he says "There are cutscenes abound with a ton of minor voice acting" twice in a row
Like the game's not even that old and they're already remaking it for some reason I don't understand. Also wouldn't that mean that the Switch is still missing the original game?
@@bland9876I’m guessing they skipped the original since it technically did get a remaster on the 3DS, but it’s still odd they didn’t just do a remastered collection since people have been asking for the original on switch for so long
@@Glitchyy07 Nintendo likes to give us the bare minimum That's why we didn't get the original Mario versus Donkey Kong game and only the Game Boy advanced one. If they had had both games remade for $60 I would have picked it up.
32:20 btw that arcade game is easily one of the best arcade games of all time. My only complaint is it being brutally difficult with just one player (though that’s to be expected from an arcade game) and it not explaining the bomb mechanic well enough. Other than that it was easily the most fun arcade game I’ve ever played.
I remember when I first played dark moon and got to the ice boss fight, it took me like 10 try’s to hit that final panel, like it was so annoying to do. Than I didn’t even finish the game since the last level was too hard untill 2 years later when I revisited the game.
Ah Loogi’s Spookhaus… endless memories of my first video game triumph. Melee & Partio Mario may have been my first intro in games, but Loogi made me love them
Luigi’s Mansion 2: Dark Moon in my opinion had better music but Luigi’s Mansion 3 was so good. The graphics, the cut scenes, the open world vibe. Amazing! And ofc the original game was classic! But Dark Moon was fun.
I always had a theory regarding Luigi's Mansion and the final ghost Vincent Van Gore. His paintbrush I always wondered is the same one that Baby Bowser carries with him in Mario Sunshine. Since Baby Bowser mentions a man in a white coat gave it to him. What if E Gadd gave Baby Bowser the prototype of Vincent's paintbrush?
I feel Dark Moon tried too much. Whereas LM3 was a comfortable return to form. I kinda wish dark moon didn't have a mission system and played more like it's predecessor
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 I'm not sure where I stand. Dark Moon was the first one I played so I have a bit of a soft spot for it. Definitely had one because it was on the 3DS and was designed with short play sessions in mind.
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 You have to realize that it was also on the 3DS, which isn't the strongest system out there. Its structured the way it is for a reason.
@@Irreve-rsible but... The og LM was remade for 3ds. It didnt have a mission structure like Dark Moon. The missions were unnecessary. Keep the multiple mansions but remove the missions
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 True, but that's also a much older game being ported, that also runs on a bad framerate if I am correct. I just think it may have compressed it some if they did such.
@@isuckatusernames4297Luckily it is getting a full remaster on the switch next month. Even though sadly I believe it’ll stay mission based. But I also love 2, and am definitely excited to play the entire game this time on my Switch.
29:24 Correction, he calls out Mario through out the entire game, when you finally get Mario back, he stops saying Mario since there is now no point in him calling out for Mario anymore, which i think, personally, is a neat detail showing that Luigi doesnt needlessly call out Mario after hes been saved [Though being unable to call Mario out when you felt like it after beating the game is still dearly missed in the back of my mind] I played this game in my childhood, ive always wanted Luigi's Mansion, but since i didnt have the Gamecube, i settled for Dark Moon, and i will proudly say i played the HELL outta that game! XD Edit: TO BE FAIR, i didnt watch the whole way through lol
I will admit when it came to 3 the museum level with the constant thunder and the looming T-Rex skeleton gave me so much anxiety. I knew the SECOND I pulled the curtain back and saw it at the end of the hallway that it was going to be the boss and I was so scared to fight it.
I'm of the opinion that the first game is still the best in the trilogy. Sure, the future games had better mechanics, bigger scale, more characters/cutscenes, etc. But the 2nd and 3rd game lacked something that made Luigis Mansion what it was: Atmosphere. Neither of the sequels had as much of a dark and foreboding atmosphere as the first luigis mansion, and it was amazing as a kid.
I liked how stressful and challenging Dark Moon was at time. Especially Paranormal Chaos. That level had me SO stressed and frustrated, but was so satisfying to complete.
@@msthecommentator2863you mean El Gigante? Yeah that was fun. Strange idea to set the game in Spain especially with Luigi being Italian but it paid off. Ballsy to put so much blood and gore in the game too.
About that "King Boo isn't a surprise" bit in the second review: It's called dramatic Irony. When the audience knows something that the characters don't, it's fun watching them try to make sense of things.
I’m surprised he opened the Dark Moon segment with the music from Paranormal Chaos, but didn’t mention it when he mentioned the game’s music. In my opinion, that particular song perfectly fits with the intensity of the level it’s assigned to.
I wouldn't be surprised if Luigi's Mansion 3 started as a remake of Luigi's Mansion for switch, but it just eventually evolved into it's own game, hence why the real remake was released on 3DS, which was clearly at the end of it's lifespan.
If I’m honest, I like both King Boo designs. The Luigi’s Mansion form is when he’s after Luigi in particular, the regular Boo with crown form is what he does when addressing general foes, and the Sunshine one is a copy created by Bowser Jr.’s brush.
Seriously, though. Luigi's Mansion for the GameCube is still the best in the series. 3 is a very good sequel, 2 is terrible. But the sequel ghosts are too generic. Everything in the original is just perfect. Character designs, music, the mansion, the battles. 10/10. Next Level Games really looked at the original and said "how can we make this worse".
I know this is 3 weeks late from upload, but you can pump the vacuum every 10 boo HP in LM1 to keep them relatively in place. Makes getting the boos less tedious but it never gets brought up as a game mechanic.

If you ask me, I think that the animators who worked on Luigi’s Mansion 3 should be the ones who work on the animation from now on

@@saml302 forced backtracking with the cat? yeah that was probably my biggest complaint too - it was fun ONCE, but then got really annoying. otherwise a great game and EASILY a candidate for the best looking game on Switch.

32:20 btw that arcade game is easily one of the best arcade games of all time. My only complaint is it being brutally difficult with just one player (though that’s to be expected from an arcade game) and it not explaining the bomb mechanic well enough. Other than that it was easily the most fun arcade game I’ve ever played.
If you liked the second game, get ready for the remake on the switch
This video was so good, I think I’ll watch it a second time.
I remember when I first played dark moon and got to the ice boss fight, it took me like 10 try’s to hit that final panel, like it was so annoying to do. Than I didn’t even finish the game since the last level was too hard untill 2 years later when I revisited the game.
I literally never died once when i first played it. I was 11 i think
Ah Loogi’s Spookhaus… endless memories of my first video game triumph. Melee & Partio Mario may have been my first intro in games, but Loogi made me love them
Luigi’s Mansion 2: Dark Moon in my opinion had better music but Luigi’s Mansion 3 was so good. The graphics, the cut scenes, the open world vibe. Amazing! And ofc the original game was classic! But Dark Moon was fun.
You can scream Mario’s name in Luigi’s mansion dark moon once you discover mario has been captured by king boo
Nevermind
I always had a theory regarding Luigi's Mansion and the final ghost Vincent Van Gore. His paintbrush I always wondered is the same one that Baby Bowser carries with him in Mario Sunshine. Since Baby Bowser mentions a man in a white coat gave it to him. What if E Gadd gave Baby Bowser the prototype of Vincent's paintbrush?
Considering we suck up said paint brush and it’s in van gore’s painting probably not but I can see egadd being inspired by it
29:25 I could've sworn that you could call out for Mario at one point. Maybe it's once you discover he's been kidnapped.
He does call out Mario once you find out he was kidnapped
18:25
"Except the number 3"
Any who is a fan of valve’s games: **Panicked screaming**
To repeat my hot take from yesterday: Dark Moon is criminally underrated
I feel Dark Moon tried too much. Whereas LM3 was a comfortable return to form. I kinda wish dark moon didn't have a mission system and played more like it's predecessor
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 I'm not sure where I stand. Dark Moon was the first one I played so I have a bit of a soft spot for it. Definitely had one because it was on the 3DS and was designed with short play sessions in mind.
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 You have to realize that it was also on the 3DS, which isn't the strongest system out there. Its structured the way it is for a reason.
@@Irreve-rsible but... The og LM was remade for 3ds. It didnt have a mission structure like Dark Moon. The missions were unnecessary. Keep the multiple mansions but remove the missions
@@DirectorOfChaos9292 True, but that's also a much older game being ported, that also runs on a bad framerate if I am correct. I just think it may have compressed it some if they did such.
I played dark moon a lot as a kid. 4 to 5 playthroughs. I love it. And i think it had something to do with me prefering luigi over mario
only antdude would reupload a compilation of reuploads
Gotta say watching this retrospective gave me a new appreciation for Luigi’s Mansion 3 although Dark Moon will always be my favorite
Potential name for Gooigi Antdude: Antgoode
And now months after this video comes out, the second game in the series, dark moon is getting remastered for switch. Hooray!
luigi's mansion 2 is still my favorite game, I grew up with it ans still remember alot of moments in the game
And 3
@@NickMario1 3 is also pretty good, but now I'm waiting for a remaster of 2 where you cna explore the entire mansions in 1 go.
@@isuckatusernames4297Luckily it is getting a full remaster on the switch next month. Even though sadly I believe it’ll stay mission based. But I also love 2, and am definitely excited to play the entire game this time on my Switch.
29:24 Correction, he calls out Mario through out the entire game, when you finally get Mario back, he stops saying Mario since there is now no point in him calling out for Mario anymore, which i think, personally, is a neat detail showing that Luigi doesnt needlessly call out Mario after hes been saved
[Though being unable to call Mario out when you felt like it after beating the game is still dearly missed in the back of my mind]
I played this game in my childhood, ive always wanted Luigi's Mansion, but since i didnt have the Gamecube, i settled for Dark Moon, and i will proudly say i played the HELL outta that game! XD
Edit: TO BE FAIR, i didnt watch the whole way through lol
Was this to fix that editing mistake where you said a line twice? Or was this to fix that editing mistake where you said a line twice?
Dam, can't believe that the retrospective got a day 1 patch
After he said that "Halloween is finally here" i actually checked the calendar because last halloween was last year after all
I still remember, as a kid, watching a gameplay of the gamecube Luigis mansion and even now I still love it
I feel like in the next game, as you said, they should drop King Boo’s thing for paintings. Instead, they should just make him want Luigi DEAD.
Ahh yes..... a Halloween so good we have to experience it in January.... twice
So nice ya gotta post it twice ❤️
I will admit when it came to 3 the museum level with the constant thunder and the looming T-Rex skeleton gave me so much anxiety. I knew the SECOND I pulled the curtain back and saw it at the end of the hallway that it was going to be the boss and I was so scared to fight it.
Fantastic first game. Good enough sequels. I wish they would make an LM4 that has more of the first game's Vibes
Luigi's Mansion 3 is fantastic too, imo.
It doesn't capture some of the same charm the original does, but it has a lot of its own charm.
I'm of the opinion that the first game is still the best in the trilogy. Sure, the future games had better mechanics, bigger scale, more characters/cutscenes, etc. But the 2nd and 3rd game lacked something that made Luigis Mansion what it was: Atmosphere. Neither of the sequels had as much of a dark and foreboding atmosphere as the first luigis mansion, and it was amazing as a kid.
i need whoever drew the gooigi in the thumbnail to know that they have singlehandedly given me enough serotonin to keep me going for months
I liked how stressful and challenging Dark Moon was at time. Especially Paranormal Chaos. That level had me SO stressed and frustrated, but was so satisfying to complete.
I just finished luigi's Mansion 4. It was amazing.
The part where you had to help Polterpup out of that trap so he could help you with a later boss fight was such a cool addition
@@msthecommentator2863you mean El Gigante? Yeah that was fun. Strange idea to set the game in Spain especially with Luigi being Italian but it paid off. Ballsy to put so much blood and gore in the game too.
For me dark moon was the best luigis mansion game
I just clicked on this video and I already love it
I love how these games help make Luigi his own character, other than a taller, faster, jumpier, clumsier, and greener version of his brother.
Funny to remember that Luigi got his standalone series *after* Yoshi, Wario & Donkey Kong
About that "King Boo isn't a surprise" bit in the second review: It's called dramatic Irony. When the audience knows something that the characters don't, it's fun watching them try to make sense of things.
0:42 just realized I have the same ikea desk he used to have, nice
“Halloween is finally here”
Me watching this in january:
I’m surprised he opened the Dark Moon segment with the music from Paranormal Chaos, but didn’t mention it when he mentioned the game’s music. In my opinion, that particular song perfectly fits with the intensity of the level it’s assigned to.
I wouldn't be surprised if Luigi's Mansion 3 started as a remake of Luigi's Mansion for switch, but it just eventually evolved into it's own game, hence why the real remake was released on 3DS, which was clearly at the end of it's lifespan.
27:17 I love that you don't even have a 3DS cartridge in your system while you're talking about Dark Moon.
Your personality is naturally entertaining for hours!
OMG I love this rhythm heaven Tshirt !!
Can someone tell me the song name at 0:13 please
E gadd’s lab theme
@@SmileyFaceCentral lol thanks
I dang near died laughing and became a ghost in these games when he said that thing about NitroRad being a lesser version of AntDude 😂💀
27:15 that little King Boo jumpscare startled the shit out of me when I first played Dark Moon, however many years ago that was.
Yeah same, pictures moving is always scary
I think its a good idea to stream twice a week,gonna watch it!a good mix of retro stuff and new games is what i like to watch
Halloween 2019 was the only night I DIDN’T go out trick or treating cos I was busy playing Luigi’s Mansion 3.
If I’m honest, I like both King Boo designs. The Luigi’s Mansion form is when he’s after Luigi in particular, the regular Boo with crown form is what he does when addressing general foes, and the Sunshine one is a copy created by Bowser Jr.’s brush.
Seriously, though. Luigi's Mansion for the GameCube is still the best in the series. 3 is a very good sequel, 2 is terrible. But the sequel ghosts are too generic. Everything in the original is just perfect. Character designs, music, the mansion, the battles. 10/10.
Next Level Games really looked at the original and said "how can we make this worse".
thank you for the repost I loved it so much first time
This is epic
I know this is 3 weeks late from upload, but you can pump the vacuum every 10 boo HP in LM1 to keep them relatively in place. Makes getting the boos less tedious but it never gets brought up as a game mechanic.
Even though I watched last night, I'm still gonna like, comment, and have it on in the background for the support 😁
37:19 bro even luigi was terrified of the glitched walk's immense power
The luigis mansion arcade game is what got me into loving this series. So fun!
The 3rd instalment is the best, I had so much fun with this game. Luigi is scared but brave :)
