The Follow Up Video is finally here! th-cam.com/video/hReJnkk8dNU/w-d-xo.html
Do not point anything out anymore! I've addressed everything.
also in the final boss the music has the shifting sand land sample if you listen hard enough
I didn’t read it
@Jimtheson76 didn't i say in the video "that or it could be referring to the unused beta galleries"
Outside of the mansion was probably brought up bcuz of egadds ladder and being almost able to exit his lab unfortunately the game was rushed
And they never added an open world outside area
(Just a thought)
It was rushed in Japan and America i hear which is way the pal version has alot more
@@TeamRocketAgentSilver Also as shown in that one Swankybox video there's that walkable tunnel shaped section out of bounds.
I never knew about the "Hey Luigi, What's the hold up?" thing. It is now my favorite Easter egg to ever exist in a Mario game.
When I was little I thought he was saying "Hey Luigi! OWOWOWOWOWOW"
I just heard it when I was next to the well a few minutes ago
LMAO I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Ha! That's actually pretty funny!
I can't be the only one who tried vacuuming all the dust in a room, swear i spent an hour or so trying to see if i could make it clean
i kept vacuuming at a light in the F1 hallway to the left of the Heart door since luigi keeps looking up. it the light outside the wall of the hidden (or secret, whatever it is) room.
That was when I was little.
Lol
Sorry for commenting so late, but this is so hilarious that I had to just say 😂
My adhd tho- I would ALWAYS GET DISTRACTED BY THE DUST.
The daisy poster isnt made up, it’s an unused asset that was a poster of daisy from Mario tennis for the n64 I think.
I thought that one was pretty well known
I didn't know about this. Mainly because I'm not a huge fan of the mario series. I don't hate it but, I rarely played a mario game or a luigi game
@@Twinklethefox9022 how
Yeah, that’s right. I knew about this fact from Beta64’s video on this game.
@@thenexva
I learned from Tetrabitgaming, they’re pretty similar content wise
I've played this game countless times and I've never heard of Mario yelling "What's the hold up?". Damn. XD
The audio is very quiet, and you typically have to stand still for a little while near the well to actually trigger it. I didn't even understand what he was saying as a kid.
That's probably the most annoyed I've ever heard Mario.......I love it.
I'm gonna go into the 3DS version right now to see if I can hear it(I was replaying the game anyway since I love it so much). It may take some time since I'm only in the second area at the point where I have to catch boos to progress but, I'll get back to you.
Edit: I heard it! it's very very faint, but it's there!
Same
One thing which you missed was the mansion's true orign. You see, in the earlier builds of Luigi's Mansion, it was stated that the house was an old tourist attraction rumored to be haunted and E. Gadd (his name still Doctor Egad) was living all alone there. This would also explain the portraits and photos of the ghost's living selfs. Also, pretty good video.
What? They cut the green toad? Well, guess it ain't easy being green after all...
Take my like and leave
🚪 there’s the door
"I guess you just can't plan for this sort of thing..." is a real quote from Luigi when inspecting those gravestones, if my memory serves me correctly. I played the game recently and I distinctly remember this. Good video!
I'm pretty sure the "time limit" rumor on the iceberg also comes from a line starting "You only have one night to save Mario." from the US commercial.
this is honestly the most interesting correction i've been given! i never even considered commercials and i didn't find anything about that, so thank you so much!
I thought it was because the beta had that timer on the GameBoy Horror
@Cody Welborn I know but people mistook it for it being "you have one night to save him" because we knew so little about the demos way back when, that's where the game over screen theory came from, that if you didn't save him that sequence would come up
It's just something that circulated as a theory for a while, same way as hanging shadow Luigi
Beta 64 actually discovered that the supposed “game over cutscene” was only made to get people to buy the game, kinda anticlimactic, I know
I've always found the 24 hour time limit rumor interesting bc like, when I was a little kid unaware of the internet I remember having a dream where Luigi got locked in a closet by a couple boos and was begging to get out before the clock struck midnight bc if he didn't, the mansion would disappear and him and Mario would never be seen again
When I read the final part I heard the gaster vanish sound in my head lmao
" I guess you just can't plan for this sort of thing..." is said after Luigi scans one of the tombstone where the skeletons appear outside in the graveyard. Very good video, though!
What does it means?
I found a new function with the game boy horror in Luigi’s Mansion, but from the remake, when you scan any furniture that has a boo hiding inside of it, there is a sort of cool text that says: Got something.
@@VioladorDeAncianas47 Common thing people say about death
@@VioladorDeAncianas47 luigi is saying you can’t really plan for a funeral, since death is (mostly) unpredictable
I'm gonna say the "Astorlogy room" and "Outside the mansion" are references to SwankyBox videos. He's done a few cool videos on Luigi's Mansion and those were subjects of some of those videos.
"Totakeke" preceeds Animal Crossing actually. Seems to be the real-life nickname for Totaka since that name was also the way to access Totaka's Song in Link's Awakening for the Game Boy. Totakeke is also KK Slider's name in Japanese and some of the other Animal Crossing localizations (such as the Spanish one)
Actually, I think the “Daisy Poster” is referring to a picture of Daisy from the Mario Tennis games found in the games files, it was an unused asset likely meaning that Daisy was suppose to be in this game but never actually made it in. Look up Beta 64 on TH-cam I think he goes more in depth, again I think this is what they where referring to for the Daisy Poster just thought I’d let you know 🤙
the daisy picture was most likely just a placeholder
Very good video, keep up the good work, we both have something in common, we love Luigi's Mansion to death :D
Since I owned the PAL Version I never even knew that there were huge differences in the other region's Games! Interesting :D
Cheers and all the best^^
thank you so much! it really is crazy how different the versions are lol
you guys got the best version. I feel robbed
@@m00teronyoutube remember mario 64 iceberg during summer good times
When you talked about the reddit post describing the Safari Ghost, I had to look at the video and make sure that post wasn't done by me.
It wasn't. But I thought it was because I remember the Safari Ghost too, and I remember everything the same way that reddit user does! Heck, even down to the fact that my mom remembers him too.
My mom is the one that fought him, and in my case, she lost to him badly. She went downstairs to grab some ice from the tea room, thinking it would help catch him, but when she went back, he was gone. We never saw him again.
That's eerie; I even remember having to shake the deer heads and him getting angry for touching his things. I know it's supposed to be impossible, but Mandela Effect, I guess.
I’m no expert, but I suspect that the “lost galleries” refer to the the unused early versions of the portrait room found in the files.
I didn't see this in my recommendations, I searched for it 😊
tHe MaDlAd!1!!
I found this in my recommendations
I got it in my recommendations. I like icebergs
It was in my ha
For outside the mansion part! There’s a cave system that wasn’t model but it’s solid to walk on. You can find videos for it
I love how the first game despite seeming so small still has all these new weird things to see everytime you replay it; and I'm glad to see someone who appears to really care talk about an iceberg and do a follow-up. Do think you could've gone more in depth for some entries.
The Daisy poster was simply a test image for things that could be sucked off of walls by Luigi.
“I couldn’t find anything for this one” explains 98% of this video
i guess that means i'm a lucky guesser lol
@@m00teronyoutube ...okay?
Pretty much, this is was researched rather poorly.
@@m00teronyoutube I mean, a lot of the answers which you had “no answer” for are a TH-cam video search away. Watch one Beta64 video and you’ll have a significant number of your answers solved for you already.
@@georgie984 don't care
Chuggaconroy. An amazing youtuber that’s been in the game a long time and is the reason I got into video games in general. Has great playthrough of this game and shows off a few Easter eggs. I remember watching it when I got home from elementary school many years ago.
Hello! This iceberg was made by one of my friends CoolPlum64, I even helped make a few entries, if you have any questions about particular entries don't be afraid to ask!
October 30th 2000 build?
@@WalnutSquatch that was just one of the cryptic things we added to make is spoooooky
I think there might actually be an build from that date we might not know about
Ngl, I’m a little confused about some of the placements in the iceberg. Like for example, the Astrology room secret passageway was bottom iceberg even though the point of the bottom level is that there’s little to no evidence/it’s much more obscure of a secret, yet it’s more like a secret level type of shenanigans by the looks of how to get there. There’s also the other stuff like the pikmin Mario model that have little to no relation to Luigi’s Mansion. I’m a little curious on why you and plum have added those two (examples)/made those choices?
(Sorry if I sound rough btw, not my intention)
@@GOFFBITZH666 I assumed the Pikmin Mario Model implication is that the model was an early version of the Luigi’s Mansion Mario model, that was removed from LM but somehow made its way into Pikmin.
"luigi's hung shadow" sounds like it might have meant....er, something else
LMFAOO
It meant a camera glitch
Luigicide
While I can’t provide a link (there were several videos in that area, and I can’t remember which one it is), the whole “I guess you can’t plan for this sort of thing” like IS In the game if you scan one of the graves.
TheRunawayGuys did a play through of Luigi’s Mansion and the guy playing it went and scanned the graves and that line popped up, so I can confirm It’s existence.
Unless I’m remembering wrong, but you can check it out for yourself if ya wanna be sure.
It’s always nice seeing a new iceberg video for a game I love come out!
Well very disappointed on this iceberg there was more discontinued development choices in this then theories and rumors but still great vid
The Death of Bowser is just referring to the Fortune Teller Ghost’s prediction about Bowser and how it was impossible for him to be there because of his defeat. This could imply during the last adventure that Mario went on that Bowser got seriously injured or died. Some people in the comments saying Paper Mario, I think it’s referring to Mario 64. People lean to the him dying because he is only a puppet in this game.

i love iceberg videos, and i love this video!
so much effort put into it
Kinda wish there was a cutscene in the beginning showing King Boo free the ghosts and capture Mario.
Luigi’s Mansion was the first game I ever played/owned, so it’s one of my favourites. Cool iceberg video!
"i guess you just can't plan for this sort of thing..." is what luigi says when you take a picture of bogmire's tombstone after beating him.

solid video. it sucks that so many of these icebergs are made with like 0 evidence or anything to back up the points. It's probably because it's one of the early 'spooky' games with internet creepy pastas.
Nice video man! Luigi’s mansion is one of my favourite games so it was nice seeing an iceberg on it. Even if some of the entries were a bit of a let down.
The safari room boss ghost was popularized by Chuggaaconroy in his let’s play of Luigis mansion. In episode 11 at around 5:00, he talks about the “unused” ghost. In his collab on the channel “The Runaway Guys” they played the game and in episode 21 at around 4:00 he talks about what he said in his earlier let’s play.
Two things to update with this video. If you watch TRG you’ll know that back when Let’s Player Chuggaaconroy played through the game a viewer would message him about the safari ghost. Still being relatively new to his work he didn’t fact check and said it in a video. THIS is the the start of the Safari Ghost rumour. As well, during the TRG play through they see the ‘You can’t really plan for this’ dialogue.
You did a very good job with this!
I think that “Outside the mansion” just refers to the forests and such that are unreachable due to the game’s boundaries.
I also believe that “Bowser’s death” refers to the theory that King Boo is the ghost of Bowser, and the reason that he uses a Bowser body in the final battle is because he is possessing his former body.
Great video!
Good video! I like learning hidden stuff from my favorite games 👍
I’ve been discovering a lot of small channels lately and i have to say, they have the best content
10:13
About the coin, I once heard in some unused content video that the coin is out in there because somehow, if it was to be removed, the whole game would break
Have you heard of the hidden cave in the courtyard? Swanky box did a video on it, you were actually supposed to go in a cave that did have ghosts in it, so you kinda were able to go outside, it's actually still accessable, just walk against a wall in the courtyard and boom, you're in the hidden cave!
Nice video man! Came up in my recommended
Nice
Time to be added to the video game iceberg playlist!
E.Gadd's true intentions is interesting because he traps the spirits of formerly living people into portraits for his own personal amusement. The process is extremely painful, as shown by the fortune-teller who was ready to go back to her portrait, but had a change of heart when Luigi started to vacuum her up, and on top of that it makes sure that the spirits never get salvation.
I think this is my favorite video on youtube. I love everything about this
love this video, *starts a new subtopic on certain part of iceberg* couldnt find anything on it.
i'm so glad you love it! ❤️
Feels good finding a small creator in your recommendations. Good work man
bowsers death is mentioned by the furtune teller "but he was soundly defeated by mario" soundly defested usually means dead
Luigis mansion is one of my favorite games of all time. It just has a charm that no other game has IMO
The lost galleries are actually just many early builds of the gallery room, some with major or minor differences. There’s videos of them being used via action replay, since the builds are still unused in the files.
The reason the attic and basement halls never light up is because hallways light when you beat the area boss, so when you beat King boo the hallways are likely classified as lit but you never see it
Nice video, man. You deserve wayyyy more subs.
This channel should have 5k subscribers at least, your videos are good
Fun fact about The Safari Ghost: someone told the lets player Chuggaaconroy about that rumor, and since Chuggaaconroy is famous for informing people on hidden secrets and cut content, he passed that information off in his let’s play. Unfortunately, this was before he started doing more research on stuff so Chuggaaconroy accidentally became a source for this ghost supposedly being real. His own let’s play is pretty old now, but he brought this up in the let’s play on TheRunawayGuys (a channel where he does let’s plays alongside ProtonJon and NintendoCapriSun)
I am am gonna say it but others probably already have.
The mention of Daisy in the iceberg is talking about an unused picture in the files of a render of Daisy from Mario Tennis. It is most likely a test image as it would have no use as a portrait.
"Death of Bowser" propably means that the actual bowser is dead and that King Boo uses his dead body as a disguise. Means that every bowser after Luigis Mansion was actually King Boo himself
I have a really weird story with Luigi's Mansion. I remember that I first saw the game when I was really young at my grandparents house. A person brought his Gamecube to the house and showed it to me but the game seemed a lot different than how it actually is. I remember a game where we had full camera control, a much darker tone and vibe and completelly different areas (like a large corridor and a big staircase) (the art-style, E. Gadd's gallery and poltergust were present in the exact same way, though). When I played it I remember thinking that it was odd that they made a game about Luigi after playing Super Mario 64 from my cousin's console. Years after I remembered the game and thought that it didn't exist and was all a dream since the whole experience felt oddly off but to my surprise when I searched it up the game existed but it looked drastically different from what I remember. I asked my cousin about it (the one who had Super Mario 64) since I thought he was also the person who brought that game to my grandparents house but to my surprise he said he never had a Gamecube and he didn't even hear of the game. Now I'm left with these questions forever: who owned that game and brought it to my grandparents' house and why was it so different from the original version? Maybe it was my young mind thay saw it with a different tone but I remember vividly that corridor and staircase nowhere to be seen in the actual game. We might have another personalized story to uncover here with my experience along with the "ghost hunter" story.
The daisy poster is a unused Image of Daisy in the game Files
Also I believe it’s from Mario tennis well one of them
i remember reading on the mario wiki that in one of the first rooms there's a bunch of portraits that talk to luigi iirc, and in the trivia section of the article it says these portraits may have been the ghosts when they were alive. i think that's what it's referring to.
I think I can clarify a couple if the points on the iceberg:
- The unused Mario 64 sound effects were probably used to test the audio capabilities of the GameCube. If I remember correctly the final version uses the sound effect for when you obtain a Star in Super Mario 64 when you retrieve Mario's lucky Star in the Observatory Room.
- The Daisy poster probably refers to an unused image of Daisy left in the game's code, the image originating from Mario Tennis. Again, it was most likely used for testing purposes.
- It was originally intended for Luigi to freely roam E. Gadd's lab and enter the Training Room, Gallery, and leaving the lab, but was probably cut due to time constraints, which may explain why Luigi can still interact with the ladder and why it still has functionality.
Actually about the “I guess you can’t plan for this sort of thing”. I vividly remember my sister being stuck at the graveyard and getting this message. Her play through wasn’t too long ago but even then my memory could be playing tricks on me...
TTYD, Pikmin, Melee, Animal Crossing, Mario Sunshine, Wind Waker, Path of Radiance, Wario World, Double Dash, F Zero GX, Metroid Prime, ETC
So many classic games on the Gamecube
Saw the iceburg photo on Reddit the other day and this just got recommend 😳
The Daisy Poster is a render of Daisy in Mario Tennis left in the game. The image in the same format of the poster you can suck up in the Bathroom.
I dont know if anyone has mentioned it yet but back when photography was starting to be popular, they would take post mortem photos becuase it would sometimes be the only photo of that person to taken and possibly Chauncey was a still born which would be why he said he was born a ghost and the picture exists.
4:01 I always heard that, and for years I could never tell what Mario was saying there. Very interesting!
Outside the mansion is referring to the point in time in development when Luigi would be able to go into the forest for a very small part of the game, but was scrapped.
Great vid, but the daisy poster, from my understanding is a framed picture with daisy artwork from mario tennis for the n64 that resides in the mansion in ( if I remember correctly) the music room.
edit: just found your redo vid and would like to apologize for inadvertently contributing to the daisy poster spam, didn't see your comment
I'm not sure if the "Outside The Mansion" is referring to this, but in Swanky Box's "The Deleted Cave in Luigi's Mansion", it turns out that there is a hidden cave on the left side of the courtyard that would lead to the graveyard. This was blocked off and replaced by the doghouse having a warp hidden inside of it, although the tunnel is still usable if using cheats.
Very good iceberg my man.
5:29 Laughs in Dolphin and Moded Wii
As a note, if the remake for this video hasn't come out yet, for both "Outside of the Mansion" and the "Astrology Room," they might both be referring to the loading sector when you shoot the moon, there was supposed to be more to the backside of the mansion and a connection point to the 2nd Chapter boss instead of going through the dog house, but it was all scrapped during development and the areas behind the fenced areas of the "backyard" were used for loading and unloading specific areas, as in the far right side of the area being used for loading the bridge and moon with the star. There have been videos talking about this, and the evidence is there, just unfortunate that it took a whole nother game 13 years later to go through with it.
Also the mario model for Pikmin was leftover data from Mario 128, a supposed sequel to Mario 64 that was in the works, but was scrapped in favour of Pikmin and left in the source code, it has nothing to do with Luigis Mansion, it's just there for all time.
The “outside the mansion” refers to a room in the woods that isn’t accessible in game. Some people speculate it was going to be used for a woods themed part of the backyard
12:55 Aw man, I could've been in Luigi's Mansion.
Chauncey being born a ghost is more than likely censored wording for the fact that a baby died and became a ghost.
At 5:52 all your need to do to see this dialogue is to just take a picture of any of the gravestones in the cemetery.
The reused sm64 samples is talking about that sound when luigi pick up a mario item and the sound was used from sm64
That's so cool. Luigi actually has a cannon house. It may not be the most expensive but its the most cozy looking one.
6:53 Every copy of Luigi’s Mansion is personalized.
I remember the Safari ghost too, I remember him shooting at you and having a hat and safari outfit on, while also being blue like they said.
The icebergs are my new favourite infomeme.
the Daisy poster refers to the Daisy image found in the game files. the render is from Mario Tennis 64
The original Animal Crossing came out only in Japan for the N64 in 2000 while the worldwide Gamecube version was released in early 2002. That might also explain why they removed Totaka's Song, it would've only worked for the Japanese playerbase.
Fun fact, the tech demo of luigi's mansion was just that, a tech demo, Nintendo had no plan to make a game out of that but seeing how well the demo was received the game started production based on that demo.
3 things I want to mention:
Early Mario Model (Pikmin): Is probably here because in Luigi's mansion, You can watch a Pikimin Trailer. Don't know why it's left over in Pikimin though.
Bowser's Death: In Paper Mario for the N64 [Which Foreshadowed Luigi's Mansion (Luigi's Diary comes to mind) So this also is a reason it's on here] At the end, bowser falls of his castle in the air, Falling to his doom. When scanning I think the star to Madam Clairvoya she says that King Boo has revived Bowser.
Elvin Gadd's True intention: I think it's something about the fact your capturing ghost who just wanted to live a peaceful after life and Egad put you up to this and also you are robbing them of their riches. Which is illegal. So Egad can be a rich stealing man while also torturing ghost who did nothing as Luigi does the "Good Thing" he couldn't do because he's to old. Not that he wants to be in prison or anything.
Your voice makes for great unintentional ASMR.
When he said maybe king boo can trap people in paintings with Mario trapped in one when in the third it is shown he can and no reference to the chef in the third during the chef ghost part
1:49 Well, it is important to keep in mind that Luigi's Mansion was a launch title for the Gamecube and no one outside of Japan would have played Animal Crossing (Animal Forest) as it started as a Japan only N64 game. So, it would have been weird to reference an easter egg related to a game that no one outside of Japan would have played.
I always assume Mario was tricked into jumping into the painting, like 64, and got trapped.
I think the “outside of the mansion” means that there was something else planned for the outside of the mansion. I remember hearing that there is a area where you could walk around near the grave yard. Or maybe the front of the mansion.
I have a theory that Shiver burned the mansion down. There's an unsettling line in the game that is said by the hiker in the cold room. He says something like "people who start fires in this mansion better be ready to pay the consequences!". This ghost is extremely hostile, which shows that he has a lot of anger about someone starting a fire. This is because he died when the mansion burned down. But who could have done this? Shiver of course! The butler. This senile old man would have had access to the materials needed for the arson. Remember what he says about Melody and his passion for her? Lots of burning, and scorching.. So, in a bout of extreme rage and senility, he could have set fire to the whole mansion.
8:25 Ok so on my small resolution-ass CRT tv as a kid, it was never clear what the "space sphere" was so clearly. And the way the camera/cutscene zooms in and emphasizes made me think it was some surprise? So obviously not the moon, what's special about seeing the moon in a telescope?
My conclusion evidentally, was that it was Earth, some illusion to feel disassociated? And as such, the dozens of times I replayed it as a kid. The part where you blow it up always made me feel a little melancholic/as close to existential as a 3rd grader can get lmao
I think maybe the reused SM64 samples one was talking about how SM64DS reused the Luigi's Mansion sample and was phrased badly but I could be wrong
1: Luigi definitely says "I guess you just can't plan for this sort of thing..." I was the type of kid who would scan everything and try to read anything and everything. He definitely said that. I played this game a ton up until about 2/3 years ago when both my wiis stopped working (one due to a power surge and the other stopped reading discs.) As soon as you got there, I thought "Oh yeah, he does. I remember that."
2: What kind of freaks me out is that I specifically remember there being no safari ghost. I've played this game for as long as I can remember even though I sucked at it as a kid. I never fought a ghost in there. But the strange thing is, when that Reddit post described how the safari room ghost looked, I could envision it perfectly. Not in the way that I have a visual mind, but it seemed so familiar. My only explanation for this is that I somehow heard this before and forgot and so the image of the hunter stuck with me. But it just kind of freaked me out because when I got down to the description of him, it was crystal clear and I could see him in game just like it was a memory. I don't remember battling any safari ghost. I could always ask my brothers and see if they remember since they were older than me at the time (I was about 5 and they're both 3 years older and 6 years older than me.) Now if they remember then that will freak me out.
3: About the Totaka's song played by Melody, I swear I can remember playing at some point where that was included. At least when I was much younger. Seeing the box in the video reminded me of it. But playing it in my high school years, of course I never encountered this. I'm sure though that I'm just remembering wrong, but it was so weird seeing it because it seemed so familiar.
4: Excellent video! It was wonderful to watch you go over this. Also, I never knew about Mario saying that outside the well. As I said, I've played this since I was young (and I'm usually one to notice all kinds of noises since I have sensitive ears/struggle with sensory overload), but I never knew. I guess little me and eventually older me just never paid attention well enough. But it was for sure fun seeing you go over this!
There is actually living versions of the ghost in the pictures around the game in many of the rooms, we see Neville and he twins, Chauncey, Slim, Sue Pea, and even Spooky along with others if you look hard enough
Love the video! Any idea when the follow-up video might come?
not too sure at the moment, i have to rewrite the script but the overall video making won't take too long, so maybe by next week?
