Poor Luigi. Even his own game is categorized as a "Mario game."

I'm absolute favorite feature of the game along with the humming is the "Mario" button. I mashed the hell out of that thing through the whole game as if I thought MAYBE just MAYBE he might hear me. Mario? MaaaaarrrriooooooOOO!?

Yeah, everyone using the lighting glitch to make theories about Luigi hanging himself always bugged me. I mean, the table's shadow is hovering too. Did it hang itself? Did it not like its life? Could it not pay rent in time? Did it go through a divorce, and lose custody of its kids? That's the real mystery about the glitch.

Unless, of course, you read "Born a ghost" as "Was stillborn"...

Luigi's Mansion is, in many ways, the real Mario is Missing.

"Speak not my name for I am TaBOO"

(scans lion statue) "This is the kind of thing I would put in the bathroom."

"When there's something strange , in the neighborhood , who you gonna call , LUIGI "!!!!

finishing off with the scariest game of all

You can do horror games all year for all that I care.

My favorite touch about Luigi's humming is that the lower his health gets the shakier it actually is.

You forgot one other character trait for Luigi.

Funny note about the birds in the intro:

Maybe it’s just me but I think Luigi’s Mansion uses it’s short length to it’s advantage, you can beat the game over and over to see if you can beat your best score in total treasure collected! At that point it almost becomes like an arcade game... at least that’s how I’ve always seen it.

I've always referred to Luigi's Mansion as "Silent Hill for kids." Glad to see I'm not the only one who made this connection.

I remember playing this game as a kid, and legit being freaked out by some things like the butler. As a kid, I thought it was chasing me down, and I left that hallway and hid upstairs as fast as I could. I also being creeped out by all the bosses, and mashing the call Mario button. The thing that I realized about dark moon is it doesn't have nearly as much of a creepy vibe, but more of a cartoony feeling.

Luigi's mansion dark moon was fun, but honestly the fact that they cut down the ghost variety and replaced with those generic ghosts that possess objects (its a good concept and they did some good things with it, but having ALL bosses be them isn't very interesting). It does have a lot of cool puzzles and new mechanics, and the idea of going to various mansions is really cool too, but it feels like overall it lost some of its character and atmosphere in exchange of more polished gameplay. I do like king boo's new design, really sets him apart from the pack.

With Luigi's Mansion and Survival Horror: I would actually argue it essentially is a survival horror game, just a very defanged one. It has the basic features of one, and even the tone is somewhat spooky.

It is actually not the first time that Luigi had a personality, in Paper Mario you can read his diary and know what he is thinkimg about Mario's adventure and stuff

I loved Luigi's Mansion because it was so different for any Mario game before, also it fleshed out Luigi's personality too.
