About Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD:

FRIENDLY GHOSTS TURNED FIENDISH? Sounds like a job for Luigi!  – The magical Dark Moon that hangs over Evershade Valley seems to calm the ghosts that live there. But when it suddenly breaks apart, the once-friendly ghosts become unruly! Luigi must stumble into action and find his courage to restore the Dark Moon to its rightful place in the sky.

  • PICK THE MISSIONFollow leads across a neighborhood of haunted mansions to find the missing shards of the Dark Moon. With a little help from Professor E. Gadd, you can pixelate from his bunker to your destination and get started! (Luigi will…probably be OK on the other side.)
  • SOLVE PUZZLE-Y MANSIONSEach mansion has a distinct vibe and tricky puzzles to solve. You’ll have to use your noodle to find your way through.
  • BATTLE GHOSTSEek! They’re everywhere! Stun ‘em and suck ‘em up to defeat them.
  • DISCOVER TREASURES – Use the awesome air-blasting abilities of the Poltergust 5000 to turn every room upside down and build your fortune. Spend it on equipment upgrades and stuff!

 

WELCOME TO EVERSHADE VALLEY (BWA-HA-HA!) –Explore every nook and cranny of these haunted mansions to find the Dark Moon shards.

  • GLOOMY MANORThe first stop on Luigi’s haunted-house tour. Professor E. Gadd had been observing the ghosts living in Gloomy Manor when, suddenly, the Dark Moon broke into pieces.
  • HAUNTED TOWERSThese remarkable towers are built around a colossal tree. The original owners had a liking for gardening and exotic plants, which are now growing out of control.
  • OLD CLOCKWORKSThis factory once produced the world’s finest clocks and time-measurement devices. Readings indicate a Dark Moon shard rests at the top of the Clock Tower.
  • SECRET MINE Some determined geologists started a mining operation in these snowcapped mountains. But when the ghosts started moving in, they got scared and abandoned it.

 

  • GEAR UPUse your superpowered ghost-hunting tools to explore the mansions of Evershade Valley.
  • POLTERGUST 5000 An upgradeable ghost gobbler. Its suction and air-blasting functions are useful for more than just paranormal combat, too. Use it to solve puzzles, find treasures, and move things around!

  • DARK-LIGHT DEVICE Shed some light on mysterious hidden objects and make them reappear.
