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.

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.

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

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

i love how Luigi walks around in darkness and silence humming the theme song. srsly Luigi's Mansion is a perfect game.

The retrospective was so good that he had to upload it twice.

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

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.

This series is one of the reasons why i love Luigi so much as a character... thank you Nintendo!

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 think that the fact he uploads like once a month but still has a good fan base is proof that it’s quality over quantity

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.

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 really wish Nintendo would rerelease Luigi’s Mansion in widescreen like they did with Super Mario Sunshine with Super Mario 3D All-Stars

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

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

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

Dark moon is my first Luigi mansion game and I defend it from anyone who dares calls it trash

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.

im excited to see the dark moon remake its my favourite game in the seires

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

Ah yes, it's October 115/116th, spooky season in full swing. (Time zones always make things more complicated)

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 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

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.

One time I went to Vegas and beat the whole thing of the arcade version. Definitely a highlight in my life

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

"Us Americans are terrified of numbers, except for 3" Gaben: DID SOMEBODY SAY 3!?

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.

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)

Antdude intro is so good... Glad to see another video! Lets be honest, Luigi has (way) more character then mario, he should get more spin off games

Antdude: talking against dark moon Also antdude: has dark moon wallpaper on computer

Bro had to upload 3 videos twice. That proves how much he cares about his work.

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)

luigi's mansion 2 is still my favorite game, I grew up with it ans still remember alot of moments in the game

You can scream Mario’s name in Luigi’s mansion dark moon once you discover mario has been captured by king boo

I wish every game had a Mario button. Sometimes when I'm playing a game I find myself just wanting a silly little button to press.

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.

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!

"Halloween is finally here~" Out of context from the original upload date, this is still delightfully on brand. 🤭

In Dark Moon, Luigi does have a chance of calling for Mario after he's seen him in his portrait

I don’t know why I haven’t noticed this, but Luigis mansion 3 finally turned the s and n in the title to ghosts

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 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

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!!

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.

Potential name for Gooigi Antdude: Antgoode

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?

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.

Fun fact, Luigi's animations in Dark Moon (and I THINK 3 as well) were heavily referenced from Mr. Bean.

To repeat my hot take from yesterday: Dark Moon is criminally underrated

I just finished luigi's Mansion 4. It was amazing.

18:25 "Except the number 3" Any who is a fan of valve’s games: **Panicked screaming**

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.

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?

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.

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

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

This video was so good, I think I’ll watch it a second time.

Dam, can't believe that the retrospective got a day 1 patch

And now months after this video comes out, the second game in the series, dark moon is getting remastered for switch. Hooray!

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

I presume Dark Moon is the way it is due to it being on the 3DS. People still play 3DS scarescraper, by the way.

“Halloween is finally here” Me watching this in january:

Fantastic first game. Good enough sequels. I wish they would make an LM4 that has more of the first game's Vibes

Ahh yes..... a Halloween so good we have to experience it in January.... twice

Gotta say watching this retrospective gave me a new appreciation for Luigi’s Mansion 3 although Dark Moon will always be my favorite

After he said that "Halloween is finally here" i actually checked the calendar because last halloween was last year after all

So nice ya gotta post it twice ❤️

Funny to remember that Luigi got his standalone series *after* Yoshi, Wario & Donkey Kong

thank you for the repost I loved it so much first time

I still remember, as a kid, watching a gameplay of the gamecube Luigis mansion and even now I still love it

Halloween 2019 was the only night I DIDN’T go out trick or treating cos I was busy playing Luigi’s Mansion 3.

"Why is it not on the switch?" Perhaps because the GameCube was originally going to be 3D so putting on on a console that can do that was the best course of action. At least to them

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.

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.

I love this trilogy of games! Very fun and "unique" gameplay!

OMG I love this rhythm heaven Tshirt !!

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.

27:17 I love that you don't even have a 3DS cartridge in your system while you're talking about Dark Moon.

Pretty good to watch!

This was so nice, I love these games!

If you liked the second game, get ready for the remake on the switch

wow i rememebr back when luigis mansion 3 was revealed, i was very excited to know the title, and then the title is just "luigis mansios 3" i was like "oh really well ok then" but then it showed "(working title)" and i just thought to myself "oh nice its just a beta title!" and it wasnt a beta title after all

20:58 Thank you Ant Man, it did make me chuckle

Already watched the original upload yesterday, have no idea what changed lmao

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

With Luigi’s mansion 3, I played through the whole game 2p with my friend, honestly some of the best memories we’ve made together

Your personality is naturally entertaining for hours!

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.

Ooh another LM retrospective at 2am!

Even though I watched last night, I'm still gonna like, comment, and have it on in the background for the support 😁

This is epic

I was a BEAST at the arcade machine. Always made sure to play it when I saw it

I just clicked on this video and I already love it

Even better the third time around

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

Luigi's mansion 3 is so beautiful and has so much personality I love it
