Summary

  • Morty, from Luigi's Mansion 3, is an unexpected and hilarious homage to film directors.
  • While we think that Neville himself isn't a big deal, he gains extra points for the books he reads.
  • We love Mr. Luggs from the original game because of how he died in the first place: eating himself.

Poor Luigi gets a bit of a raw deal. While his brother Mario is jetting off to sun-soaked tropical islands, zooming across breathtaking galaxies, and schmoozing monarchs from every corner of the continent, ol' Green Stache is stuck ridding dilapidated buildings of the undead. Armed with naught but a vacuum cleaner, to boot.

10 Silliest Moments In The Luigi's Mansion Series That Helped Break The Tension

Luigi's Mansion has some eerie moments at times, but the lighthearted nature of the games evens 𝔉it all out.

With that being said, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Luigi's Mansion franchise has played a big role in rocketing Mario's overshadowed sibling back into the limelight. His quests into these crumbling, haunted locales are made a little lighter by the kookiness of the spooks that dwell within; sometimes, they're even helpful! Other times... not so much. Here's a look at the best ghouls the plumber's sucked up.

A quick heads-up: this list will feature endgame spoilers for all three mainline Luigi's Mansion games. Though they're not exactly steeped in Pulitzer Prize narratives, if you're just embarking on your ghostbusting romp for the first time (perhaps via Luigi's Mansion 2 HD on Switch), exercise caution!

10 Mr. Luggs (Luigi's Mansion)

A True Role Model For Us All

Mr. Luggs in Luigi's Mansion

According to his GameBoy Horror description, Mr. Luggs, a connoisseur of all things edible, ate himself to death... and then kept going. And going, and going, well into the afterlife, where he subsists on unlimited quantities of grub. To be honest, that's the way we want to go.

Luggs is unique in that he's one of the few boss ghosts in Luigi's Mansion 1 that you have no obligation to engage with. He just sits there, munching away, and won't bother you at all. Should you choose to antagonise him, he's a multi-stage puzzle boss – first, you've got to dispatch his waiters, then suck up his remaining nosh, before finally dodging his acid reflux fireballs and introducing him to the Poltergust. Bon appétit!

9 Neville (Luigi's Mansion)

The Bookish Father

The first boss ghost in Luigi's Mansion, Neville.

As the first boss ghost in the game, Neville puts up precisely zero resistance. He just sits there, thumbing through his book, until he decides to yawn – at which point, he lets his guard down and becomes vulnerable to the flashlight. Frankly, he doesn't deserve such a fate, but he's harbouring a mandatory key... so tough luck, Nev.

By himself, Neville wouldn't be too memorable; but once you've eliminated him, you can have a look through his collection of books to find some amusing reads. 'Darkness is Their Cheese', by a bloke named C. Parmesan, is the undeniable standout.

8 The Three Sisters (Luigi's Mansion 2)

There's Three Of Us, Just Three Of Us

Luigi's Mansion 2 Three Sisters fight

Luigi's Mansion 2 is perhaps a bit scanter on unique ghosts than its cousins, preferring instead to focus on fleshing out the regular 'mooks' you hoover up en masse. That's all well and good in terms of the game's personality, but it does make the boss encounters feel few and far between. The Three Sisters fight in Haunted Towers, then, is a nice surprise.

This Bowser-busting duo has been ever⭕ywhere from outer space to the Olympics, but where did they come from?

Somewhat morbidly, you take these lasses on in the very graveyard they were buried under. Lucinda, the smallest sibling, is zippy and likes to hide behind her mirror. Belinda's rocking a snazzy purple cap, while Herlinda, the heftiest of the trio, will take some time to wear down, what with her 150 HP. When together, they're a formidable adversary, and a highlight of the campaign.

7 Chauncey (Luigi's Mansion)

This Is Why Proper Parenting Is Important

Chauncey in Luigi's Mansion

Chauncey is one horrifying little bugger. Nintendo took no prisoners with the first major boss of Luigi's Mansion 1, chucking you into the oversized crib of an undisciplined, dead-eyed tater who'd like nothing more than to smoosh you with his toys. Also, he enjoys screaming directly into the camera.

The music devolves into haunting screeches, and the background looks like something Pink Floyd would animate after a plate of edibles. There's just something inherently unnerving about children in dingy environments, but it makes it all the more satisfying when you nail Chauncey in the face with one of his own balls and take him down.

6 Polterpup (Luigi's Mansion 2)

There's A Good Boy

Luigi and Polterpup in the basement of the Last Resort

Well, they can't all be evil. Polterpup, a charmingly rotund canine ghost, lands squarely on the 'chaotic good' end of the spectrum, desiring only to cause benign mischief. Throughout the story of Luigi's Mansion 2, he impedes Big L's progress by swiping keys, breaking doors, and running off with vital intel. Though you'll hoover him up several times, E. Gadd's vault can never seem to hold him for long.

Once the Dark Moon business is settled, Polterpup appears to beg forgiveness from Luigi, whose big heart wins out as he takes pity and adopts the wee pooch. In Luigi's Mansion 3, the two are inseparable, with the pupper even assisting his master's efforts against newcomer Polterkitty. Cat, meet dog!

5 Boolossus (All Games) ꦫ ꦗ

You Just Can't Keep A Big Boo Down

Boolossus in Luigi's Mansion

King Boo notwithstanding, Boolossus is the closest thing Luigi's Mansion has to a mainstay antagonist. He's not really a 'character', per se, instead being an amalgamation of individual Boos that combine to form a single giant one. In the first game, you'll fight Boolossus on the mansion's balcony, with you needing to pop him apart and freeze each constituent Boo (a tedious and interminable process.)

If you love Mari๊o but hate jumping, you are about t﷽o be eating really good.

In the sequel, he pops back up in the Treacherous Mansion, now with an updated model more closely in line with your average Boo. Once again, you'll need to break him into pieces, this time via a spiky train, to see him off. Finally, he's the ultimate boss of the ScareScraper multiplayer mode in 3, requiring the combined efforts of several Luigis to bring down.

4 Morty (Luigi's Mansion 3)

Spielberg Never Had To Deal With This

Morty in Luigi's Mansion 3

Another example of a friendly ghost, Morty is something of an auteur. When you reach his floor, he's mired in the complexities of movie-making, and he enlists Luigi to play the starring role in his action flick. It quickly becomes apparent it's a Godzilla knockoff, as he stomps his way across a model city and contends with miniature tanks.

When the shoot is in the can, Morty graciously hands over the elevator button for the next floor – and in fact, sucking him up is completely optional, as he retires to his editing room. Unfortunately for him, though, there's an achievement associated with capturing him. Them's the breaks in the movie biz.

3 Bogmire (Luigi's Mansion)

Part Bog, Part Mire, All Spooky

Luigi's Mansion Bogmire fight

Bogmire is an enigmatic ghost – even by the standards of the undead. Very little is known about him or where he came from, as he's non-humanoid in appearance and the only explanation the GameBoy Horror can offer is that he was somehow "spawned from all the mansion's fear and despair." Well, that clears it right up.

In order to tackle Bogmire, you've got to figure out which of his clones is the real one. Once you've done that, it's a matter of sucking up one of the phonies and blasting it into Bogmire's face to make him vulnerable. Take careful aim, because he shrinks smaller and smaller the longer the fight drags on.

2 Hellen Gravely (Luigi's Mansion 3)

Talk About Your Abhorrent Admirers

Hellen  Gravely angrily looking at Luigi

Before Luigi's Mansion 3, the established formula of the series was that King Boo was the intelligent chess master, while all his subordinates were thick as a plank. Not so with Hellen Gravely, the first instance of an antagonist on equal footing with the Boo upstairs himself. Introduced as the prim and proper proprietor of the Last Resort hotel, her mask soon slips.

Mario RPG is the best Mario.

As her not-at-all-subtle name indicates, she's got nothing but pure malice bubbling under the surface. Hopelessly in love with King Boo, she enacted the entire scheme to lure in Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach in hopes of getting his attention; but once he rebuffs her, she flies off the deep end and attacks. Her fight is one that demands quick reflexes, and she's a fearsomely built-up foe.

1 King Boo (💫All Games)

Royalty Among Boos

Luigi Being Chased By King Boo In Luigi's Mansion 3.

Really, now: who else did you expect to top the list? King Boo is to Luigi as Bowser is to Mario – an endlessly recurring nemesis who can't fathom why they keep being beaten by a tubby mustachioed plumber. He attempts increasingly complex revenge plots, but as sure as the sun rises and sets, each one of them topples before Luigi.

You can see his seething rage building with each new installment in the series, making him a phenomenal foil as you wonder what ridiculous lengths he'll go to next to try and eke out a win. Granted, he would have succeeded ages ago if E. Gadd's technology hadn't kept pace with all his new tricks; perhaps in Luigi's Mansion 4, he ought to go for the good professor rather than wasting his time on the Mario brothers? Villains never learn...
