I always wondered why Nintendo never continued the Luigi's Mansion series in the same fashion as the first one
Luigi kills a baby’s ghost again, as the baby just sleeps.
*_think about it_*
Luigi doesn't kill anyone or anything in the mansion he only captures them saying he kills is the dumbest thing anyone could say because 1 it would go against luigi's character and 2 he was only in there to save his brother and besides you cant kill whats dead
@@Tsuyuri193 so trapping them in a painting forever is not killing them?
@@bowser_the_flamingshell a ghost is dead and trapping something that's dead in painting its a dumb argument to say it kills them because the ghosts can't die twice
@@Tsuyuri193 so what happens with a boo when it meets a super star in mario maker?
@@bowser_the_flamingshell I guess it just disappears...but a super star is different.
FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES
Agree with what?
@@The_Markimator Luigi Mansion is the scariest Nintendo game
@@ilan_profile I've always though the first one was the scariest, the only thing that comes close is the "Distant Piano" theme from Luigi's Mansion 2/Dark Moon
@@cbell1446 I was talking about LM games...
SpeedGod lol 😂 ‘s ok
Zelda: Ocarina of Time was pretty scary. Majora’s Mask was steeped in dread. Wind Waker also had some scary moments.
Smfsableye Don't forget Twilight Princess. I still remember that The Arbiter's Grounds were making me feel unease.
Ocarina was not scary it just had a lot of scary stuff in it like wind waker but even more
@@littlelinkg4514 yeah, Majora’s Mask is definitely the scariest. Even if nothing particularly scary is happening, the threat of the moon is always there… The tension never goes away, and seeing the townspeople react in so many ways to the impending doom is disturbingly realistic and truly puts you in Links shoes by making you *want* to help them. What a masterpiece of a game.
None of them were "scary", but they had some darker moments for sure.
Wind Waker? I mean both Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were scarier then it honestly.
The game over cutscene on luigis mansion is terrifying😖😖
They scrapped because it too scary
@@classicsonicfan64 It was only for a trailer not a Game Over Screen
Be more specific are you talking about the Beta or the Final game?
@@Flare8295 Beta
I remember people would always say "Wow, Luigi's Mansion is actually kinda scary". Because you really didn't expect it, which made it even scarier. Luigi will always be my favorite Nintendo character because we got through that creepy old mansion together.
I thought Majora’s Mask was the most unsettling Nintendo game
I found it more depressing than scary (except for Ikana valley and Castle and Stone Tower Temple) 😭🤧
It's a shame that this game is kind of forgotten about. Its deserves way more attention.
The backstories for some of the Portrait Ghosts where horrifying...
👻
I have one thing to say.
Why did he say the outside theme was a piano when it was a harp?
Ikr! I love that purple dude at the grave alot too because you didnt know his backstory. Plus he was the creepiest boss.
Uhhhh
He was not scary.
The bosses and ghosts don’t scare me, just the Atmosphere and Backstorys to said ghosts and the ghosts themselves in that it appears that they were once alive but King boo made the mansion so what.
*Were
Luigis mansion 1 has always seemed like a project Nintendo took very seriously, at least in my eyes. This games is easily in my top 15 maybe even top 10 games
Agree!
The fight with Madame Clairvoya scared the hell out of me. After you give her all the items, she starts choking herself. Scariest part for me. Sorry about my English, I’m still learning.
Your English is actually better than most people's who have it as their first language 😂
BlueBoi Animates thanks 😊
zathaniel thank you 😊
I thought she lets Luigi capture her (because her assisting role is finished, and more importantly, she wanted to return to her painting because she missed being in it), but as a sort of challenge.
Also, she's my favorite Portrait Ghost!
Ridley12 she does. When the battle starts, I always thought it looked like she was choking herself. Sorry about my English
One thing puts this game above other nintendo titles:
The power outage/blackout portion. I had to stop playing when i was 6 cause it terrified me so bad😂
I'm surprised you didn't mention the baby ghost, Chauncey, he was the stuff of absolute nightmares!
And also, the very beginning of the game, when you blow out the candles, and the paintings come to life to talk to you, that was really creepy.
Luigi's Mansion 2 had its moments tho, like going down deep under the clock factory and enocountering mummies for the first time scared the shit out of me as a child, the Mine was scary too, but I do agree the first game was scarier
This is a first. I remember being a 6 year old kid being scared of LM1 then a couple months later LM2 came out and I was so disappointed… just felt like a generic puzzle game.
Honestly the only part in lm2 that I found remotely creepy was the head moving doll but that’s it. It lacked the atmosphere the first one had.
the outside theme was actually played on a harp
Luigi's Mansion has always had this... eerie vibe. like, the way the ghosts look to how the layout on the menu screens look like something out of an outdated website from the 90s, and even how Luigi himself looks. and all the darker implications like Chauncey's situation and how all the ghosts were once living people, and don't even get me started on the beta and lost stuff like the chef ghost. that's why i love this game so much, you get to experience all the fear that Luigi goes through, it's so creepy and even flatout terrifying in some parts, it's brilliant, really. Luigi had an awesome first main game!!
It's so scary that I couldn't even get past the first room you enter without shitting your pants.
And I was 5 when I first played. That ghostly giggles gave me the ghastly fears. *SHUDDER*
As a young adult with a small-ish fear of the dark, this game still scares me a bit, but not as much as when I was a pre-teen/teen (that blackout part, though; I really don't like it.)
Yeah I thought that part of the game was one of the scariest, but is also why I think the first one is the best one. It felt more emotionally challenging to get through verses the sequel.
I'm sad they tried to get rid of the original atmosphere in exchange for wacky new locations. Don't get me wrong I love dark moon and 3. But number 1 just feels different.
While I like 3 for it's wholesome cutscenes with Luigi, I wish that and dark moon were scarier.
Luigi's Mansion is scary
You're talking about how the mansion is an old run down house from a long time ago but I think you forgot about the fact that in the story the mansion literally just appeared out of nowhere a few days ago.
This game never scared me but it is a cool game.
It scared mostly cause the spooky music that I loved though.
I was 5 when I played and I was so scared. I remember begging my mom
To play while I watch because it was too much for me lol
It scared me so much as a little kid
Same here
You mentioned how the portrait ghosts are out to get Luigi and kill him for no reason, you do remember most of them are minding their own business but Luigi has to provoke them is when they harm him right?
PT DEMO ..... Now THAT was Scary and deranged
What about The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess? Those games are even scarier!
There more dark then scary
@@WailingGecko exactly
No Zelda majora's mask is if you look into everything deeply like when a deli said that u look like his lost son when u where the deku mask thats because skull kid took the life force out of a young deku and at the beginning of the game you can see his remains and at the end you see the father sad by his remains
And also the sound when link puts on a mask is horrorfying
switch milk I think by scary he means which game gave the most jumpscares, whereas majora’s mask just had a very dark, sinister tone
I agree
Majoras mask wasnt exactly realistic while creepy mansions are.
LM takes the cake.
Majora's Mask:Am I a joke to you?
*Shivers in giant moon and final boss Majora*
Benjamin Miller shivers in most of the side details that are in the games.
But what about Eternal Darkness?
Majora's Mask was dark, but not scary.
Nah. LM takes the cake.
People call the boss ghosts from Luigi’s Mansion 3 portrait ghosts but they’re not actually portrait ghosts. I get they have the simple more humanoid design and they’re bosses but they never came from or was put in a painting. Instead they’re just called Boss Ghosts, because when you look at the ghost collection, and there’s these 4 different categories of ghosts. 1 is Regular Ghosts 2 is Boss Ghosts 3 is Rare Ghosts and 4 is Boos. (Probably in wrong order but the 1st is just Ghosts.)
Luigis hotel is scarier it has classic scary scenes and just have natural scary things that kids in general are scared of
I also love how when the music is going on in some rooms you can hear a ghost humming along with luigi.
Luigi's Mansion: I'm the scariest Mario game!
Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time and Super Paper Mario: Hold our beers!
I'd say Partners in Time is the most scary and dark game
@@wert556 why? What happens?
SPM scary? LOL!
@@jvbs7193 well the only scary thing I remember is that shroobs are actually toads who have been captured and have their lives sucked out of them and sometimes killed. It's pretty disturbing, but I think SPM is more scarier.
As a kid the clockwork ghosts scared me, mostly because of the fear of failing because I was outnumbered
I still like this game more than the new ones. They don't have the same feeling. Overall LM 3 missed an opportunity to make the hotel scary and it could've been so much cooler. Not to mention there is lack of character in the bosses. In the first Luigis Mansion, each boss had character and a backstory of how they died. In the new games they lack that. They arent interesting and it takes away the experience of who you're fighting.
I don’t think the light coming in from the windows is too bad, I think it actually makes it feel more eerie
Remember when the first time you discover mario in the painting through a hole in the well ? Geez it gave me chills :o
I did get quite freaked out in Luigi's Mansion when the power went out, LOL. But, playing Earthbound at 10 years old and going through Prince Poo's "training" was disturbing on a very deep level.
Love the intro!!!
It hurts me so much to see how they have changed Luigi’s mansion, I played it as a kid and I loved it so much cause I was so scared to play it! One thing I love the most is the music the soundtrack isn’t big because most of the game is filled with ambience and it’s TERRIFYING! I am still scared of the cut scene where Luigi opens the door, or when you walk around the mansion and it’s super silent and u hear stuff around u. It was perfect and nailed it all together! I wasn’t ever the biggest fan on the mechanic on how to catch the ghost, they fixed it in the newest one so it’s a bit easier to figure out but still. Love u Luigi’s mansion 1 u will be the thing I fear for all of my life!
Agreed, the ambience and setting along with the lack of guidance really sets the mood for the original much better than the followup games. Felt like they tried to make it more accessible for younger audiences, which is understandable but still pretty disappointing. Also, those door opening cutscenes really got me as a kid too lol
I remember finishing Luigi's mansion along time ago on the gamecube
0:35 That and maybe Metroid Fusion. I mean come on, you can't argue with that terrifying close up of SA-X's eyes.
I think luigis mansion dark moon is the creepiest luigis mansion, luigis mansion one was more of just an introduction to the series because you expected most of the jumpscares, dark moon wasn't as scary in the beginning but near the end it got horrifying, the part that most scared me was when king boo jumpscared you on the camera image as you don't expect it at all because you think your safe in the bunker
It's also cool that instead of just one mansion you traverse multiple ones
Luigis mansion 3 wasn't more of scary but more unique as each floor had a theme
i completely disagree with this
I don't agree that dark moon is the scariest but i will agree that some moments did give me chills and a scare
Like king boo jump scaring you in a photo you mentioned because i was not expecting it at all
Or that time luigi opens the door to the final mansion only to see darkness, and when he turns around king boo appears gazing down at luigi, and disappearing when luigi looked back inside that gave me real chills
I always thought the mansion is even scarier when the lights are turned on.
Why ?
@@spacewanderer9 Because the music stopped and it was just Luigi humming.
It is strange I know, but it somewhat felt even more isolated and scary to me.
I love Luigi's Mansion and The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask! Best Halloween Nintendo games.
I'm 16 and the ghosts popping out still make me jump
This is an excellent breakdown of why the first game was absolutely incredible. That noise the fat guy makes used to scare me shitless, and just about every aspect of the idea of “things that go bump in the night” and capture that fear of the unknown. The blackout is easily the greatest part of the game. Amazing to think we will probably never see anything like it again to be honest. Just like MM and the 3 day cycle. Something very unique but doesnt fit well with that broader market etc
Another thing that made this game creepy was the incomplete rooms, that have no music but you can faintly hear the ghosts chanting the theme song.
Also there will never be another boss like bogmire. He had a good balance of being terrifying yet badass at the same time.
Love the intro nintendoland
"The ghosts are so angry at luigi and try to kill him for no reason"
Luigi to the ghosts: *Opening the curtains to disrupt their makeup, hitting with a punching bag, hitting them with pool balls or balls of yarn, interrupting a lovely couples dance, blowing extremely cold air on one in the shower, making it...too hot by starting fires?, spraying water on their beds, sucking their food away*
Wait if there’s a baby ghost then
Ever heard of twilight princess
Samus: I have the scariest game over scene.
Luigi: Hold my beta!
I wish that Nintendo would make another Luigi’s mansion game, in a realistic gigantic mansion, bigger and scarier than the original
Ironically, the original was going to be scarier, but was toned down by the time the retail version came to be.
The original prototype had the actual chance to be scary. The final retail version on the other hand is mostly just creepy.
Sorry Buddy, but Nintendo has changed since the Gamecube era, and they won't reach that level again with a Luigi's Mansion game, that's why Luigi's mansion 2 and 3 are more family friendly.
@@tidepoolclipper8657 Yes, the beta was more Scarier than the final product.
GameCube games just are the best Nintendo games of my generation I think. Mario sunshine, luigis mansion, wind maker, double dash, pikmin games. There’s more probably but yeah
interesting. I love this series
Seems like someone forgot about Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
There's a goddamn roach on my screen!
Or fatal frame
They really should do another Luigi’s Mansion like the first game. Use the N64/GameCube era design for Luigi, keep it very dimly lit, bring back that dynamic dust effect, and bring the portrait ghosts back in the same capacity. Also, ditch the strobulb and bring back the pressure-sensitive vacuum.
OMG YOU POSTED ON MY BDAY
Yesssss
Majoras Mask and Twilight Princess are the scariest Nintendo games maybe until Tears of the Kingdom with the doom of the world and Ganondorf.
Loogi mansion is rated 18+ thoooooo
:O Very Scary
My childhood agrees
I now agree
And now someone else agrees
I don't know if I would outright call Luigi's Mansion the scariest Nintendo game. Sure, it's got some creepy moments, but there are other Nintendo games out there that far outclass Luigi's Mansion in terms of horror. You have Majora's Mask, many installments in the Metroid series (especially Metroid Fusion and Metroid Prime 3... the GFS Valhalla in the latter was like something straight out of Dead Space), EarthBound (Giygas alone is horror territory)...
Not to mention the one horror game Nintendo actually DID make, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. That game was TWISTED.
Also I have played all of them. The first didn't scare me because I played it in the morning all the time. The second scared me even though it isn't scary because I played it at nightime. The third was meh with lighting and was a good game but not scary. So Yup
that's because Luigi's mansion 2 and Luigi's mansion 3 don't try to be scary like the first one, they want to be more family friendly.
So I don’t know much about the original game because I never got it nor got the 3DS remake but I did watch videos of it before knowing about Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon and buying it. But I went on a little field trip to Wiki and some TH-cam Let’s plays and I noticed that (everyone probably already knows but for those who don’t or don’t remember,) the paintings of people and the portrait ghosts are the same. BUT here’s what’s interesting to me. I don’t know if anybody ever had a idea who owned the Mansion besides King Boo but at the cutscene where Luigi is being threatened by the paintings after blowing away the purple candles but I thought the painting with the candles was the ghost at the library. But actually it’s the Artist Ghost. (Forgive me for not remembering the names or learned more about them from the Wiki) Not only that but almost everyone has a picture of themselves before being a ghost. Not to mention the funny descriptions of the ghosts I believe is how they died. Wether killed or simply dead or died due to a paranormal unknown reason like Sue (little ghost girl). I wondered if these ghosts used to live in the Mansion but here’s a problem. The Mansion itself was explained by E Gadd that a few days ago it appeared out of nowhere. So maybe the ghosts didn’t live in that mansion but was asked to help King Boo with his schemes? It kind of reminds me how the Boss Ghosts from Luigi’s Mansion 3 are set up. Not all of them obviously died in a hotel or did die in one. Like McFrights didn’t have a modern or a non vintage hotel back in medieval times. (If he’s a ghost from that time.) Getting back to Luigi’s Mansion, I wondered if the Artist Ghost is the leader of all the ghosts in the Mansion. This made me also wonder if he created all the portrait ghosts, because it would make sense if the Mansion that came out of nowhere needed Ghosts. Maybe King Boo created the Ghosts? Or maybe he just mind controlled them kind of like how he destroyed the Dark Moon in Luigi’s Mansion 2 in order to make the ghosts go berserk or like how in Luigi’s Mansion 3 the Gem from his crown shattered and the Ghosts now became friendly. His Red gem could maybe have made the Ghosts and Portrait Ghosts become dangerous? After doing some research of the original game (didn’t bother for the 3DS remake because it’s probably the same.) I knew That Luigi’s Mansion 3 had a lot of Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon elements but I never knew that it also had Original elements as well. For example there’s no level selection that way you doN’T hAVe To DEleTE THE SAVE FILE TO MAKE A NEW ONE IN ORDER TO REPLAY EVERYTHING AGAIN!!!! But at least the series is very cool! I also hope if they make a 4th game, they make levels just like Luigi’s Mansion 2. And of course make the scare scrapper single player if needed. On the Idea videos I wish I can give more ideas if I and we fans can do that but I can’t reveal all of them because we know there’s a thing called Art Theft. Yes I’m talking about you who steals ideas and other stuff you crooks. (Seriously it’s not a joke)
When I first saw Neville I was like "Fuck yeah! Nigel Thornberry is in this game!"
I feel like Dark moon and Luigi's Mansion 3 played it too safe when it came to creepy. Which is why I prefer the first game. The ghosts had a darker backstory to them. Also the dark rooms enhanced the scare factor with the ghosts. Having an uneasy feeling while getting through a level and combating ghosts made me feel like I achieved getting through something like that till the end as a kid.
The Beta Game over screen is really scary
From day 1 of development luigis mansion became less darker, it started as a sequel to sm64 and is now a game of its own.
That sequel was planned to be a more grown up version that’s dark, the current version of the sm64 sequel is is a very dark game that ends with a grave saying innocence, refencing the fact that at the time of the gamecube people wanted more mature games, like cod series. For ps2 and original Xbox
Tbh I was always scared when a ghost pops up. It was like being jump scared in….fnaf especially when I’m the hallway those dang hanging ghost. I can only imagine if they kept the bashers in (beta ghost that literally jump scares you)
This game was the origin of my game-related anxiety. 😂
I got the 3ds rmake
Ive beaten this game 3 times its quite incredible ALL ASPECTS and playing it at niggt is creepy at night even as an adult.
It does practically talk about ghosts anyways so I would agree so myself.
Partners in Time- "Am I a joke to you?"
There's very few games i enjoy more than Luigi's mansion. What a damn masterpiece. Hopefully the "hanging luigi" glitch isn't brought up.
Fun fact, this is the only game in the series to be labelled as a horror game. I'm not kidding! When I go to wiki's most label it: Action & Adventure & Survival Horror, while the sequels are only Action and Adventure (Ok Luigi's Mansion wiki labelled Dark Moon as Horror but Wikipedia for example didn't include it like the first game). Of course the third game was only Action & Adventure on both wikis.
I love this game and the music
Still to this day my favorite Nintendo GameCube game ever! The 3rd game on switch was good but doesn’t have the same creepy charm and music
Its actually earthbound for many reasons... Main one being the final boss called giygas! Also if you search up who is the strongest nintendo video game villan he is top!
ROXAS CRUZ I’d also argue some of the Metroid games. Some of the aliens are too weird and honestly somewhat scary
@@jackb1272 i agree
When you get game over screen a Luigi looks dead creeped me out in my first play through
Majoras Mask is a contender.
Boolasus was very scary, but Chauncey was TERRIFYING
Luigis mansion is my favorite game of all time it is so scary ❤️
Luigis Mansion should’ve been on 3DS & Nintendo Switch like Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
Hey theory idea, how does Paper Luigi know about Luigi's Mansion in Paper Mario N64? It wouldn't make sense, as the Paper Mario series obviously isn't in the Real Mushroom Kingdom. (Yknow, where the Mario Platformers happen, also the Mario and Luigi series) Speaking of the Mario and Luigi series, in Paper Jam, it is shown that the Paper Mario series exists within a Magic Book, and that same game (Paper Jam) is the first time that the PM Universe collides with the M&L Universe, as far as we know. So, with that said, how does Paper Luigi know about Luigi's Mansion in Paper Mario N64, before anyone could've possibly known about the Real World?
eternal darkness my bro
Luigi’s mansion 1 is so eerie
I wish we had a dark mode in LM3. and a more solo-friendly scarescraper
A dark mode? I remember that Luigi's Mansion 3 has a brightness adjustment.
@@wogardrodriguez9699 yeah it does. I was thinking like a super dark mode. Almost like a power out scene that occurs from time to time or the game is legit. Dark. Also you can't adjust the brightnest in handheld mode
@@EthanMastercrafter Oh, I understand.
@@wogardrodriguez9699 no problem my friend. Glad I could clarify things
I'm not gonna lie Luigi mansion 1 is pretty disturbing, not only the game over beta version gave me goosebumps the first time, but yeah I agree that the game is sooooo silent most of time.... It makes you feel one the ghost that it's trapped in the mansion. Also the voice of the bosses are a bit distorted (examples like the first baby one or the fat ghost) and their backstories are actually creepy.
Remember the safari ghost rumor
I love the original. I like the gallery from the remake better though. If they had the original version with the EU hidden mansion and the remake gallery on the Switch I would die happily.
I'm I the only one that got nightmares about the ds new Mario bros
Meanwhile Ju-On the Grudge for the Nintendo Wii is being forgotten.
The only thing I thought was scary was Mr. Luggs bro those sounds he made were creepy I will never like those sounds.
If a remake of Luigi's mansion 1 made specifically for adults was created it would probobly be one of the scariest games ever.
I thought that he would include the attic where, when the lightning strikes Luigi's shadow shows that he hung himself in the background
Nintendo flat out admitted it was a lighting mistake; especially since the camera apparently acted like a light source. In the 3DS version, this was fixed.
Question if anybody wants to do it for fun. Which is scarier? Luigi’s Mansion or Luigi’s Ghost House from Nintendo Land? Ok probably some arguments coming in just because everyone forgets that others can have their own opinion too but what makes the Luigi’s Mansion mini game in Nintendo Land scary is that the music, (well most of it is actually based off of Luigi’s Mansion 1 and not Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon) and the Ghost. Because that a player is controlling it, and if you’re a Luigi, you don’t know what will happen or comes up next even with the vibrations on the Wii remote to alert you a ghost is coming towards you.
Wrong the scariest Nintendo game is any paper Mario game because imagine how many paper cuts still gives me the huge shivers to this day
The only reason why i think any paper mario games are scary is because of river Twygz bed
I like this video!😃
the scariest part of luigi's mansion in my opnion are the music and the sound and the game over screen
