Professor Layton has been asked to investigate mysterious happenings in the city of Montdol, where a gentleman wearing the eponymous Mask has been wreaking havoc on the town.

That is, in the present, anyway. The game also has segments involving a high school age Layton, whose experiences in the past are key to solving his present mystery.

Please place series-spanning examples on the main ''Franchise/ProfessorLayton'' page.

!!This game provides examples of:

* ArtEvolution: Outside of cutscenes, characters are actually modeled in [[CelShading cel-shaded]] 3D. Understandable, considering [[Nintendo3DS the platform]].
* BackToBackBadasses: Lando and Layton are shown doing this in the second trailer.
* CelShading: Done in order to simulate the hand-drawn look of previous Layton games while taking advantage of the new hardware.
* CoolHorse: Layton rides one in the most recent trailer. (Though we don't really know much about the horse yet, it automatically qualifies for the trope because...come on, it's being ridden by [[MemeticBadass Professor Layton]].)
* CoolMask: The Mask of Miracle allows the wearer to ''turn people to stone and control gravity.''
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Officer(?) [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Bluemile/Brummel/BURUMAIRU]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Lando]]
* FunnyAfro: Layton in the flashbacks.

** The game's AnimeThemeSong "Mysterious Flower" is the first song in the series to have any English in it save the title of "iris".
* KillerApp: Was this for the 3DS upon launch in Japan, outselling Nintendogs, Street Fighter, Ridge Racer, and Samurai Warriors games.
* NiceHat: Played straight during the sequences taking place in the present, [[ClothesMakeTheLegend of course.]] This trope is also averted during sections taking place in the past, as Layton doesn't have his famous hat yet. He ''does,'' however, have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKvlpUd7Xx0 THE COOLEST AFRO OF ALL TIME.]]
* RealSongThemeTune: "Mysterious Flower," which is a slightly edited version of a song by Japanese singer/songwriter Yumi Matsutoya.
* TakenForGranite: The trailer shows a lot of people turning to stone.
* TeenGenius: Layton, during flashback sections.
* TheUnreveal: After the credits, [[spoiler: Descole is unmasked by Broneph, but Descole's servant throws a [[SmokeOut smoke bomb]] and saves him before Broneph (and the player) can see his face.]]
* VideoGame3DLeap: ''Two of them''! Not only is this the first Layton game for the Nintendo3DS, it's also the first to feature rendered characters and environments.
