History WMG / LuigisMansionDarkMoon

More specifically, the Polterpup that Luigi is rivals with [[spoiler: before eventually befriending]] is the ghost of the Poochy that was best friends with Yoshi back when the Mario Bros were babies. Considering that dogs age and die faster than humans (With most breeds only having a maximum lifespan of 10-13 years), it would be unlikely to see Poochy in his living state when the Mario Bros are adults. Polterpup's friendly behavior towards Luigi (As well as probably Mario) could actually be that he remembers the baby he and Yoshi worked together to reunite Baby Mario with. Not to mention that both characters look very similar to each other.

* The gold banana-shaped thing on the rear balcony of the Treacherous Mansion is shown to be [[spoiler:a base for a portal between the Mushroom Kingdom and the ghost dimension]] in one of the game's final missions. The owner of the Treacherous Mansion, being a globetrotting collector of just about anything, brought this thing home without knowing what it was and had it affixed to his balcony, inadvertently providing the ghosts with a portal into the valley, which, given the presence of such horror cliches as a house with a graveyard in the backyard and a factory built over an ancient tomb, was the perfect haunting ground.

Besides getting out of the painting he was inside of in the first game, all of his...''[[MoralEventHorizon remarkable]]'' actions were after he (re?)achieved his glowing crown. It's relatively easy to assume that the crown is sentient and was [[BrainwashedandCrazy manipulating]] King Boo to become an OmnicidalManiac ''just'' to spite Luigi], à la [[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand Kirby's Return to Dream Land]].

[[AC: VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon]]

[[WMG: Boos on their own are basically harmless.]]

[[WMG: Boos are cursed.]]

[[WMG: There will be a [[{{Wutai}} Japanese or Eastern]] based mansion...]]

[[WMG: Release Date]]

[[WMG: Who's the girl next door, living in the haunted mansion?]]

[[WMG: King Boo's crown will be worth two gold coins in this game as opposed to one.]]

[[WMG: At least one pre-final mansion will feature Luigi finding an imprisoned Toad]]

[[WMG: The mansion from the [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion first game]] will appear as either the final mission or as a bonus mission]]

[[WMG: King Boo destroys the Dark Moon]]

[[WMG: The Dark Moon is not a RestrainingBolt]]

[[WMG: Totaka's Song is hidden somewhere in the game]]

[[WMG: E. Gadd's bunker and all his fancy new equipment was funded partially by a portion of Luigi's treasure horde from [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion the first mansion]] and partially by finances generated by [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Starbeans Cafe]].]]

[[WMG: It was the owner of the [[VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar Enigmansion]] that bought the King Boo portrait from E. Gadd.]]

[[WMG: Is it me..]]

[[WMG: Relating to the theory above: Much like how Boos are the ghosts of deceased Mario Baddies, Polterpups are [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland dead Poochies.]]]]

[[WMG: There is an independent, unspoken horror story behind the Haunted Towers]]

[[WMG: The haunting of Evershade Valley is entirely the fault of the owner of the Treacherous Mansion]]

[[WMG: What happened to Luigi's original mansion?]]

[[WMG: There was an EldritchAbomination underneath Evershade Valley.]]

[[WMG: The Dual Scream introduced in this game and the handheld Professor E. Gadd uses in VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime are one and the same.]]

[[WMG: (Continuing an above WMG,) King Boo was the original owner of Treacherous Mansion when he was still alive.]]

[[WMG: King Boo's crown is a sentient ArtifactOfDoom.]]
Besides getting out of the painting he was inside of in the first game, all of his...''[[MoralEventHorizon remarkable]]'' actions were after he (re?)achieved his glowing crown. It's relatively easy to assume that the crown is sentient and was [[BrainwashedandCrazy manipulating]] King Boo to [[spoiler:become an OmnicidalManiac ''just'' to spite Luigi]], ala [[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand Kirby's Return to Dream Land]].
* Original poster: According to King Boo's clear SanitySlippage in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'', the sentient crown is slowly shifting from merely taking control of King Boo to driving him to the path of becoming a frothing, feral lunatic. Not to mention, the crown's gem in the first game was ''red'' as opposed to the sequels where it was ''purple'': meaning that some unknown evil had seeped its way into the crown between the first and second games, and thus King Boo never knew until he put it on. And since [[spoiler:he lost the gem again in this game and is seen with it again in the third game]], it could even be assumed that King Boo is ''addicted'' to the crown and hasn't realized it.

[[WMG: Luigi [[AllergicToEvil subconsciously sensed King Boo]] [[spoiler:spying on him in the pixel stream.]]]]

[[WMG: King Boo is aware of [[FourthWall the other side of the this world]], and I don't mean the after life.]]

[[WMG: Evershade Valley is some kind of purgatory and the ghosts represent the people inside said purgatory]]

[[WMG: Redoing missions is possible in-universe thanks to time travel.]]

[[WMG: The Evershade Valley-ghosts are unique life forms instead being undead in the traditional sense.]]

[[WMG: Gooigi will be added to the Switch remaster.]]
Since both Luigi's Mansion 3DS and Luigi's Mansion 3 featured Multiplayer in the main story, it's quite likely it will also be added to this game. Especially since the Switch can run it just fine and Gooigi had been created during the events of Dark Moon.

[[WMG: Gooigi will be added to the Switch remastet.]]

All ghosts aren't immune to physical abuse, though.

More specifically, the Polterpup that Luigi is rivals with [[spoiler: before eventually befriending]] is the ghost of the Poochy that was friends with Yoshi back when the Mario bros were babies. Considering that dogs age and die faster than humans (Only living to be 10-13 years max for most breeds), it would be unlikely to see Poochy in his living state when the Mario Bros are adults. Polterpup's friendly behavior towards Luigi could actually be that he remembers the baby he and Yoshi worked together to reunite Baby Mario with. Not to mention that both characters look very similar to each other.

The remake of ''Luigi's Mansion'' proves that E. Gadd can Pixelate things across time, as he does so with Gooigi. Therefore, when you select a completed mission, he's sending Luigi back in time to when the mission took place. He even addresses the fact that the Tough Possessor battle was a do-over after the fact when you redo that one.

* Original poster: According to King Boo's clear SanitySlippage in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'', the sentient crown is slowly shifting from merely taking control of King Boo to driving him to the path of becoming a frothing, feral lunatic.

* Gobbers were, as you'd expect, very greedy people in life, because of them being fat in-game.

It is possible that he was a regular person who became a globetrotting adventurer and collected multiple artifacts and mementos. One day he brought home something that was cursed, so after he died (possibly he was murdered by someone who wanted hi wealth?) he became King Boo. Also, the mansion is certainly old enough for a couple centuries to pass at least, and the "strongest paranormal readings ever recorded" would make much more sense if that's where King Boo LIVES (well, exists).

** This would explain Professor E. Gadd's confusion at the three sisters suddenly becoming violent, considering what he says about the Dark Moon. If it was a RestrainingBolt, then E. Gadd would most likely have noticed the sisters were at least a little bit eccentric before they ended up in Dark Moon Valley, and if they weren't like that before, then why would it turn them evil unless your theory was correct?

Knowing that someone is controlling Luigi, King Boo decided to have a little fun messing with the player, that's how he and the Ghosts know what to steal, damage and sabotage anything the player needs to do. This also explains how he manages to pulls a TrickBoss on E-4 (making E-4 look like the end world boss instead of a normal mission like it actually is).

** Jossed. Unfortunate, but ultimately expected since Ashley only ever appears in the WarioWare franchise.

[[WMG: The mansion from the [[LuigisMansion first game]] will appear as either the final mission or as a bonus mission]]

[[WMG: E. Gadd's bunker and all his fancy new equipment was funded partially by a portion of Luigi's treasure horde from [[LuigisMansion the first mansion]] and partially by finances generated by [[MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Starbeans Cafe]].]]

That's why he kept cowering every single time the Pixelator was used and shivering anxiously when rematerializing. Well, that and probably all the talk of "largely untested" and "hope all your pixels make it back".

[[WMG: Boos on there own are basically harmless.]]
* Besides the things they're seen doing on behalf of king boo we have yet to see a single boo in the Luigi's mansion series do anything remotely hostile. Boos for the most part seem to be lazy hovering jerks who'd rather hang around and scare people most of the time rather then cause any real dangerous trouble. King Boo just happens to be a psychotic lunatic among them who either convinces or scares them into obedience. Really everything they do can be explained by either room for personal gain, satisfying a grudge, or fear/loyalty regarding King Boo.

* At some point Boos became cursed, no matter how good there plan is if it's evil they have to leave a way for someone to defeat them. It's a compulsion they can't resist. Now king boo the smartest among them may be able to obscure his weaknesses but at the end of the day he still always seems to lose by his own hand.

... with samurai and ninja ghosts, as well as ghosts based on Japanese Mythology. It will also parody japanese horror movies and games!

*** His crown isn't a Dark Moon piece though... in fact, it's never explained ''what'' it is, much less where he got it.

** Alternative theory, rather then restraining the ghosts or being the source of there sentience it acts as a sort of balance keeping ghosts stable by spreading negative treats or tendencies around to everyone(ghost) for example the greenies without the moon are very mischievous but not hostile in of themselves and the slammers are somewhat volatile, violently so. By spreading negative qualities out to the whole group and adding a bit of everyone else's positive qualities the whole group becomes more manageable which benefits the whole lot of them. Geenies mischief is more docile, the slammers become less violent and less destruction occurs to there mansion homes on the whole.

* The Enigmansion owner then hung the portrait up at his skilift as a decoration and left it alone from there. Finally away form the professor, King Boo took this moment to escape his portrait and trap the mansion owner at his work desk, while his guard was down, in it. He remained trapped in that canvas until Mario and Kersti came along and paperized him out, and the sneak attack allowed King Boo's involvement to remain a secret. King Boo also sicced his 50 Boos from the original Luigi's Mansion and 50 others (totaling 100) on the Enigmansion itself (without showing his face, again to keep his return a secret for the time being). Gadd eventually came along to find the Enigmansion in its current state and created the Book of Sealing based on the principals of the Portrificationizer, trapping the Boos inside it (where, of course, they remained until Kamek came along) but remaining blissfully ignorant to King Boo's involvement until he revealed himself during the Dark Moon fiasco.

Or does polterpup look more like a boo than a regular ghost? Then there's the fact that he causes you more trouble than any other ghost bar King Boo...

* The gardener built their underground lab to prove their mettle at plant-breeding. Being a little ... unstable, their experiments were rather out of the ordinary.

** Semi-Jossed: Which mansion Luigi got after the original game is actually [[DependingOnTheWriter Depends On The Writer]] - This game portrays his Mansion as the one he got within the D rank, but the A rank mansion actually appears in one of the VideoGame/MarioKart games.

** where is it then?

* They both appear to be based upon the original UsefulNotes/NintendoDS model, and hints in the prologue imply the events of this game predates ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga''[[note]]which, in turn, comes before ''Partners In Time''[[/note]] due to the professor mentioning that he hadn't seen Luigi in a long while. Therefore, it's not much of a stretch to think that these two are the exact same devices.

[[WMG: There was an EldritchAbombination underneath Evershade Valley.]]

* No, think about it. There are two mansions, what looks like a hotel mixed with a greenhouse, a mine and an old clocktower. It probably used to be a large town of some kind until ''something'' woke up and sent everybody mad. They started killing each other, which explains all the ghosts, and that left all the various locations empty of human life.
