* Since neither of them are to be seen in the GameOver cutscene, one can only shudder to imagine what became of Gooigi and the Polterpup in that scenario.

* Let's hope Gadd puts every countermeasure he and Luigi can think of on King Boo's container, because considering he gets more and more psychotic with each game because of {{Villainous Breakdown}}s, if he gets out again, he'll be absolutely ''feral''.

They still get counted within the ghost vault, so probably not.


* If you slam ghosts to 0 health, they just explode into orbs of light that disappear. Are they DeaderThanDead? Even worse if you subscribe to the interpretation that they were brainwashed by King Boo's crown gem.

** All of the themed floors in the mansion seem appropriate to the setting of a haunted hotel (the pirate-themed restaurant has a ghost ship and the desert suites are themed around pyramid tombs, after all) except the dance hall... until you realize it's disco-themed. Ever heard the phrase "[[DiscoSucks as dead as disco]]"? That would adequately describe the clientele for this floor. The dancers also perform a synchronized dab move, which might invoke the idea of it being a dead meme.

** Chambrea is kind of annoying, since you have to chase her around the floor, interrupted each time she moves... but it makes perfect sense that the location of a fight against a maid would be ''multiple guest rooms'', since going from room to room is how maids do their job, and it ties perfectly into the classic trope of ghosts going through walls.
** How exactly did Hellen Gravely bust King Boo out of containment? [[AbsentMindedProfessor E. Gadd]] obviously forgot to get rid of the "Release Boos" button seen at the end of VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon.
** When the Mario Bros. reach the roof of the hotel where Peach's portrait is, Mario absolutely ''panics'' upon seeing what happened to Peach. Seeing how Peach is kidnapped [[OnceAnEpisode every other week]], this should be no big deal, so why is Mario panicking now? Because for once, there is ''nothing'' he can do to save her, but Luigi can, and that's why he frantically begs Luigi to help her. In addition, Mario knows that when Bowser kidnaps Peach, he at least knows that [[NeverHurtAnInnocent Bowser would only hurt her]] [[VideoGame/SuperPrincessPeach if she directly]] [[VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld interferes with his plans]] [[VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash or Bowser isn't himself]]. King Boo, being TheUnfettered and with a hateful grudge, probably ''would'' hurt Peach if it was what it took for him to win.
** Most Boos, including King Boo himself in ''[[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon Dark Moon]]'', stop moving and hide their face when the player approaches them. But in this game, King Boo never hides his face, not even during his boss battle. He's so pissed off at Luigi continuously foiling his plans that he managed to get over the inherent shyness of his kind.
** E. Gadd states in his [[AllThereInTheManual research journal]], after the web page showcasing it is updated for ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', that the ghosts of the original ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' have an energy that's "structurally different" than that of the Evershade Valley ghosts of ''[[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon Dark Moon]]''. This is to be expected, actually, given the ghosts from the first game were [[MookMaker creations of Vincent Van Gore]].
** While it may seem unnecessary that the elevator buttons magically screw themselves into their proper sockets every time Luigi tries to install one, this is obviously some sort of foresight on ''someone's'' part, be it King Boo, Hellen Gravely, or even the ghost minions responsible for snatching the buttons in the first place, to prevent [[LoopholeAbuse Luigi from just screwing the button into the 15th floor's socket]], [[DungeonBypass and thus immediately reaching Hellen Gravely's room]].
** The hotel is called the ''[[MeaningfulName Last Resort]]'', and in the final bossfight, King Boo decides to just make a huge painting to trap everyone in the hotel in a last-ditch attempt to kill Luigi. It's his last resort.

** King Boo imprisons Luigi in a painting when you get a {{game over}}, even in cases where [[NotEnoughToBury there wouldn't be any Luigi left]], such as the spiked wall trap in Castle [=MacFrights=] and the ceiling traps in Tomb Suites. So does King Boo frame Luigi's ghost?

But [[CowardlyLion Luigi]]? Other than King Boo, most people tend to underestimate his capabilities due to their initial impressions of him being that of a weakling, and thus don't take him as seriously. And even though the employees do realize that he's caught onto their plan, they don't view him as being a threat because none of them have had any prior experience dealing with his brand of bravery and skill. [[UnderestimatingBadassery This ends up working to their detriment once he shows that he's more capable than they realize.]] Tellingly, the only person who doesn't fully fall into this trap is King Boo, since he's the only one who ''knows'' that Luigi is dangerous if he gets the chance, and it's only due to his arrogance that keeps allowing Luigi to beat him time and time again.

Hellen Gravelly shows herself to be competent enough to capture Mario, Peach, and the Toads. Yet she and her employees don't seem to be capable enough to capture Luigi, despite the odds being so stacked against him. But it actually does make some sense, because the one big difference between between the former and the latter is that the former (with the exception of the [[LovableCoward Toads]]) have shown themselves in the past to be formidable, or at least a high priority target for any number of reasons.\\
