Each level also contains a hidden Boo to capture, and getting them all in one area unlocks its secret mission.

You'll need to check out the enclosed instruction book if you want to know about this.
** There are also many of the gem locations, which range from 'fairly well hidden' to 'absolutely insanely out of the way'. The best known example is in Gloomy Manor, where one gem is gotten by examining a suit of armour to make its helmet fall off, then shooting it at a certain painting. The helmet only falls off in two missions; the third one and the secret one. The painting might only even appear in those two as well. Good luck figuring that out!

Endless also ends up coming under this, since it seems to start off on hard mode difficulty and end up being as tough or even more so than expert by about the 10th floor.

* ThePiratesWhoWontDoAnything: The first mission in the Haunted Towers is called "A Job For a Plumber", and indeed, Luigi has to restore the water supply to the mansion to complete the mission. Of course, the way he does it -- fighting ghosts, monstrous crows, and [[ManEatingPlant Man-Eating Plants]] -- isn't the type of thing you learn for such a profession. Professor E. Gadd's statement after finishing the mission implies he doesn't know that Luigi is actually a plumber by trade either.
* PreFinalBoss: Luigi face the Tough Possessor to retrieve the final shard of the eponymous Dark Moon, and then King Boo who aims to turn him into a painting like he did with Mario before.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: Luigi has to fight Greenies possessing suits of armor in the Treacherous Mansion; in most cases, he has to defeat them by knocking them over, causing the armor to break apart and making the ghost vulnerable. However, in the BossBattle with the Tough Possessor later, it can possess two -- and then three -- suits of armor at once, and if Luigi knocks only ''one'' down, it will put itself together quickly.

Sand can be absorbed with the Poltergust 5000, but there are other dangers to watch for (such as ghosts disguised as mummies). The boss is the Overset Possessor, which takes control of the topmost floor's clock.

* SongsInTheKeyOfPanic: The game does this all the time. The bonus missions all have three versions of the theme, with the last being at three times the speed to go with the increased number of ghosts and tense atmosphere. And the bosses do this too, with the last phase having super sped up music to go with the TurnsRed feel. There's also the 'you are going to die soon' music used in the multiplayer's Rush Mode, which feels even more urgent as the timer goes down. The one odd subversion is the Tough Possessor fight, where the music actually slows right down for the final phase to go with the AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever feel.
* StompyMooks: The possessed suits of armour controlled by the Tough Possessor are like this. Their maces hitting the floor when they attempt to hit Luigi only make things even louder.
* SuperSpit: Gobbers' main method of attack is spitting goo at Luigi. It damages you if it falls on top of him, or it can fall on the floor, which you can slip on.
* SwallowTheKey: Luigi has to deal with the playful yet mischievous Polterpup, who eats the items he needs to progress in [[RuleofThree three different levels]]. Each level ends with Luigi finally capturing Polterpup after traversing the entire area and chasing the dog throughout said area. The first two times, Polterpup manages to escape captivity, thus setting up his additional appearances, but after the third time, Luigi gets the dog sealed up for good.

At some points, the game features {{Escort Mission}}s where you need to [[PhantomZonePicture rescue E. Gadd's Toad employees from paintings]] so they can be pixelated back as well. However, you still need to escort them to specific points so they can be pixelated out, a problem Luigi doesn't have to deal with. E. Gadd tries to justify it by saying he can't pixelate two characters at the same time, and you need to escort the Toad to his own Pixelator Screen before Luigi can get teleported out, and this is a Voodoo Shark in two ways. First, at no point is it explained why E. Gadd can't simply pixelate them one at a time. Second, the final escort mission has you rescuing two Toads, and they use their Pixelator Screen at the same time.

Once you finally get to the top, the boss ghost clearly has a sick sense of humor, as it possesses a flight of stairs to fight Luigi with.
* AchievementMockery: The multiplayer mode gives achievements to everyone at the end of each level, based on what they did the most of or did particularly well. Anyone who doesn't get any other type of award gets one of a few mocking achievements, such as 'Prettiest Wallflower' and '[[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Mostly Harmless]]'.
