Line #187 WMG/LuigisMansion3


1	[[WMG:The final boss will be Princess Daisy, possessed by King Boo.]]
2	It would be the ultimate cruelty to Luigi--having to fight his one true love.
3	* Or perhaps Mario could be the one being possessed? Having to fight his brother after going to all the trouble of rescuing him before would be just as sinister.
4	** Jossed. It's just King Boo. Again.
5
6	[[WMG:The final battle will be against King Boolossus.]]
7	King Boolossus will be a fusion of King Boo and Boolossus with King Boo in control.
8	* Jossed... But you were on the right track. Boolossus is the boss of the Scarescraper after all.
9
10	[[WMG:Daisy will be involved Maybe as a co-op player]]
11	Yeah a long shot. But with the inclusion of a two player co-op for the first game on 3DS. There is a slight chance Nintendo could come around to letting her be a player two characters for this ghost stopping adventure. Considering Luigi's mansion is back in the public spotlight and her now playable in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', it could be likely?
12	* Jossed - see below.
13
14	[[WMG:If not Daisy, then another Mario character could be Luigi's co-op parter.]]
15	For example it could be Waluigi could getting his turn in the spotlight, Professor Elvin Gadd could help Luigi in the field, Nabbit after the Mansion's treasure, one of Gadd's Toad assistants, Metal Luigi from Smash Bros or Gooigi.
16	* Confirmed as Gooigi.
17
18	[[WMG:Mario, Peach, and Toad will be playable.]]
19	This is Gamexplain's theory based on the four photos in the lobby of the hotel.
20	* Expanding on that, the mansion will be divided into four areas like the first game. Mario, Peach, and Toad have all been trapped in portraits that are hung up at the end of each area. Luigi will free one of them after defeating an area boss. In an [[{{Irony}} ironic twist]], Peach will be the first to be rescued, and Mario will be the last to be rescued. Each character will have their own special ability:
21	** Peach can float in the air for a short period of time after her poltergust lifts her up.
22	** Toad can run faster.
23	** Mario can go up higher with his poltergust.
24	*** All Jossed.
25	Also...
26
27	[[WMG:Daisy is the game's DamselInDistress]]
28	Hellbent on ruining Luigi's life, King Boo has also captured Daisy and turned her into a portrait. She's the final person Luigi needs to rescue. To expand on the first WMG, King Boo will trap Luigi, and [[InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn Luigi alone]], in Daisy's portrait where King Boo will possess her and force Luigi to fight her in a nightmarish final battle. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Finishing the game will unlock a co-op campaign where one player controls Luigi and the other controls Daisy.]]
29	* Co-op is already Luigi and Gooigi, so that last part is most likely Jossed.
30	** Completely Jossed.
31
32	[[WMG:King Boo's plot was AFeteWorseThanDeath.]]
33	Going by the pizzas everywhere, King Boo hosted a fake reunion party/vacation for Mario and pals, then sent a legion of ghosts to kidnap them. Luigi immediately recognized the HellHotel for what it was and faked being sick or late, and thus he's now the only one not in a portrait and using the latest Poltergust.
34	* Reunion party? Reunion for what? [[Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow The Super Mario Bros. Super Show]]?
35	* From the looks of things, all four of them arrived at the same time. Doesn't mean the plot is as suggested though.
36	** New details from the official site somewhat Jossed this some more - as apparently it's not King Boo who brings the group here, but whomever did was doing so to help King Boo.
37	** Turns out, Gravely (the owner) invited the group to the hotel so that King Boo could capture them, so the AFeteWorseThanDeath part is confirmed, but the rest is Jossed.
38
39	[[WMG:The bosses will be possessed Mario characters.]]
40	The abducted Mario and friends will be taken over by their own Boo guards and forced to fight Luigi in dark parodies of their norma thematics (Mario's possessor will be huge and PlayingWithFire, Peach's controls a GardenOfEvil, etc). The final boss will be a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind when King Boo tries to take over Luigi and uses the Poltergust against him.
41	* From the Nintendo Treehouse segment, it seems this is Jossed - in fact, one boss is a ghost in a monster outfit which Luigi and Gooigi have to work together to defeat to appease the ghost film director in order to progress.
42	** Fully Jossed
43
44	[[WMG:King Boo's crown will be worth -1 coins in this game.]]
45
46	* Nope, it's worth absolutely... Nothing! So Jossed.
47	** Though at least in Dark Moon, Luigi kept the crown, even if it meant nothing for the in-game currency. Here, [[spoiler:it flat-out disappears into nothing!]]
48
49	[[WMG:[[VideoGame/NewSuperLuigiU Nabbit]] will also make an appearance.]]
50	If playable, he specializes in collecting collectibles. He cannot attack enemies, but in return, he cannot be damaged.
51	* Jossed
52
53	[[WMG:In an ironic nod to the original ''Luigi's Mansion'', King Boo will be the BigBad / FinalBoss' MonsterSuit.]]
54	Although, due to his ghostly form, it may be a holographic suit or a magical representation of him.
55	* Jossed. It's the real King Boo, with no monster suits.
56
57	[[WMG:Gooigi will make an appearance/be related to Luigi's tank of goo backpack]]
58	Smash did tease the new Polutgust ahead of time after all it only makes sense that the sudden appearance of a giant wad of emerald goo in the remake of an older game might be related to the tank of emerald goo in the sequel. It would also make sense if the plot included Gooigi being trained in the past during Dark Moon as a reason he's being added to the Polturgust now instead of in Dark Moon.
59	** Adding to this, ''Smash Ultimate'' reveals that the new Poltergust model is designated "G-00", "Goo".
60	*** COMFIRMED!
61
62	[[WMG:This game will contain a few sarcastic [[ShoutOut references]] and [[TakeThat Take Thats]] at VideoGame/HotelMario.]]
63	"If you need instructions on how to get through the hotel, check out the enclosed e-manual."
64	* This trooper hasn't seen any at all through his playthrough, so most likely Jossed.
65
66	[[WMG:[[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey Bonneters]], or ''the'' Bonneter, Cappy, will get a nod.]]
67	They're a pretty significant ghost race introduced to the Mario universe, so maybe they could be Gadd's assistants or just have a FreezeFrameBonus background appearance as Luigi is exploring and investigating. Otherwise, they could appear in a graphic on something or be alluded to in dialogue.
68	** Seemingly jossed, unless such a reference is just really really well-hidden.
69
70	[[WMG:{{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}}'s prediction for the plot setup will be true.]]
71	In his words, before a third game was even rumored: "If [''[[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon Dark Moon]]''] happened all because E. Gadd had a garage sale where he sold off the painting of King Boo, I'm calling it right now. ''Luigi's Mansion 3'' is only gonna happen because he sat on the remote one night and hit the Boo [release] button."
72	* Or he put something on the switch.
73	** Jossed. Apparently, it was Gravely who freed King Boo instead of E Gadd doing so. Sorry, Chugga...
74
75	[[WMG:We're going to get some ''Film/TheShining'' references or other hotel based horror jokes.]]
76	''The Shining'', ''Film/{{Psycho}}'', and others. Take your pick.
77	** Confirmed. The fire helmets in Paranormal Productions are emblazoned with the number 237, the infamous room from ''The Shining'', and the carpet pattern in that film is referenced by the hallway rug in the Twisted Suites.
78
79	[[WMG:Ride/TheTwilightZoneTowerOfTerror will get a Shout-Out.]]
80	In the form of an EvilElevator that will transport Luigi to AnotherDimension as well as the hotel's various floors.
81	* Well, the elevator is how he gets from floor to floor. Only time will tell if it also leads to another dimension...
82	** Nope, it doesn't. So Jossed, sadly.
83
84	[[WMG:There will be references to other horror games.]]
85	Particularly indie ones. Considering the official ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' content in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', they might consider making a quick reference to some indie horror games. Maybe Luigi will encounter some [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys spooky animatronics]] or [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine watch some black-and-white cartoons]]. It doesn't have to be licensed or anything, but Nintendo has been acknowledging indie games more and more lately.
86	** None of those show up as bosses or normal ghosts, so Jossed.
87
88	[[WMG:There will be more character-based boss ghosts.]]
89	To expect the admittedly jarring level of realism of the first game' Portrait Ghosts is unrealistic, but they could easily go with more abstract human caricatures like the Three Sisters to use as regular minibosses. It's a hotel setting; that's practically begging for colorful resident ghosts, given all of the guest rooms and event spots within the hotel.
90	* Seemingly confirmed!
91	** Completely confirmed. Many of them are hotel staff, but some just seem to be there for the themed rooms they're fought in.
92
93	[[WMG:The hotel will have a [[TheCasino casino area]] somewhere, if not TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon.]]
94	While casinos and hotels often go together (in high-class hotels, at least), casinos are sometimes associated with King Boo as well, such as the PlayingCardMotifs in the first Luigi's Mansion and King Boo being fought in the hotel casino in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''. Since this game is in a hotel again, this might be a great opportunity to make King Boo, or maybe other ghosts, TheGambler again.
95	* Part of the hotel's exterior, near the top, has neon and other colorful lights, and definitely looks like it could be the exterior of a casino. And with the return of unique ghosts similar to the Portrait Ghosts, maybe we'll get a new gambler ghost.
96	* Partially Jossed. As shown [[https://youtu.be/VzG8w9skKjQ?t=77 here]], at least part of the neon area is actually themed after a nightclub, complete with a disco floor. There may still be a casino room somewhere, though.
97	* It's worth noting that the King Boo in ''Sunshine'' isn't the same King Boo and actually has a different name in Japanese.[[note]]King Teresa in the ''Luigi's Mansion'' games and Boss Teresa in ''Sunshine''.[[/note]] So the connection wouldn't be as strong for the Japanese audience.
98	** Fully Jossed. None of the hotel floors are casino-themed.
99
100	[[WMG:Halfway into the game, ''Bowser'' will have a supporting protagonist role.]]
101	Having known that Mario, Luigi, Peach and the others would come to the hotel tower, Bowser wanted to take the opportunity to take it over and imprison everyone inside...but instead finds ''himself'' locked in.
102
103	With Bowser Jr. having been sealed inside of a painting, Bowser was the only one able to escape the now utterly insane King Boo's clutches: but now he has no choice but to perform another EnemyMine with Luigi to save his son and the others, [[NominalHero even though Bowser would only care about saving Peach and Jr.]]. If not sharing the deuteragonist role, Bowser could even be a second playable character - fighting the ghosts with his brute force and fire breath.
104	* Alternatively: King Boo captured Mario, Peach, and the Toads as part of a deal from Bowser. Bowser's intention was to let King Boo keep the Mario Bros. and the Toads while Bowser gets Peach's portrait, where he will release her and marry her. That way with the Mario Bros. out of the way, there would be nobody stopping him from marrying Peach and taking over the Mushroom Kingdom. Unfortunately for him, King Boo ultimately betrays him and seals him too, along with Bowser Jr., inside of their own portraits where Luigi must save them.
105
106	** Both Jossed. Bowser doesn't play any role in the game.
107
108	[[WMG:King Boo has officially lost his mind.]]
109	After having been imprisoned, ''twice'', it is very safe to assume that King Boo is pretty much done with any subtleties and is just wanting to destroy Luigi in the most horrific ways imaginable. And considering that he had ''tried destroying the universe and beyond'' in ''Dark Moon'', imagine the depths he would stoop to now if his demeanour is already this angry and malicious.
110	* Considering how he acts when he sees Luigi for the first time without the Poultergust? Most likely.
111
112	[[WMG:It will fix all the mistakes ''VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon'' made]]
113	It's unknown at this time if there will be a ranking feature, but this will likely avoid the situations the previous game had.[[note]]Of course, since Next Level Games is developing this one as well, no one can really tell.[[/note]] Among other things:
114	* It won't tell you how much damage you took.
115	* There won't be a part where there's a random path, with a ghost laughing at you as fall helplessly back to the start.[[note]]This really did happen in the previous game. Furthermore, the "correct" path was random every time, so even a guide won't help you with this part.[[/note]]
116
117	** For what it's worth, going back to a single free-roaming location rather than several mission-based locations seems to be an attempt at addressing THAT particular complaint, as well as having humanoid ghosts that the prior title lacked. Correcting issues with ''Dark Moon'' seems to be a priority.
118
119	** Confirmed. Your ranking is entirely based on how much money you collect as you play, just like the first game.
120
121	[[WMG:This game will at some point have a non-ghostly or unpossessed enemy and/or boss that cannot be sucked up to take advantage of the suction shot mechanic.]]
122	This theory goes off the new mechanic of the suction shot: It allows Luigi to break physical objects, and draw items away from ghosts. A potential extension of breaking objects would be a boss or enemy that's not a ghost, or simply a possessed item. This type of foe wouldn't be likely to give up it's ghost unless it's body is too badly broken, or it was forced out. This theoretical enemy or boss could be some type of sentient and malfunctioning machine, or something like a possessed suit of armour. Although we don't know where they'll fit in what we know, we haven't seen all the floors yet, so the first type could appear in a workshop, or even in E. Gadd's new base, while the second type could pop out from anywhere. Although it's unlikely due to potential problems for new players, this type of opponent would be a surprise and able to encourage the use of the new suction shot move, and a boss using it as a key weakness would be an interesting challenge for both old and new players.
123
124	* Confirmed! An early boss can only be harmed through the Suction Shot, and a few others also need it before you can start to catch them.
125
126	[[WMG:The Portrait Ghosts from Luigi's Mansion will make a cameo appearance.]]
127	They will appear as portraits around the hotel or photos of previous guests.
128	* The music hall themed floor, which has a poster resembling the mad piano from ''Mario 64'', is also a great opportunity to give Melody Pianissima a potential comeback, or at least a cameo. She's a fan favourite after all.
129	** Sadly, not this time.
130
131	[[WMG:The final boss is Not King Boo...]]
132	Okay, so this is a theory based on a very large strawgrasp based on the appearance of King Boo in a couple of trailers. In previous games where he was the main antagonist, he was concealed in the trailers, and never made an appearance, let alone two. Something about his appearance in these trailers feels like Nintendo is trying to draw the fanbase's attention to him... And therefore off whoever the real villain is this round. There is also the fact that the mysterious antagonist has captured multiple innocents as well as Mario, and imprisoned them without seemingly having a target. There has never been any evidence that King Boo knows about Princess Peach, or her relationship with Mario, so why would he capture her? Besides... It would be just too predictable to have to face him once again.
133
134	The trouble with this WMG is who would replace him? A king of ghosts would feel like a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to the king of Boos, so it would have to be either a new character ghost, or somebody we've met before. A non-ghost boss would be hard to fit into the setting, unless he had the ability to disguise himself, meaning that they're unlikely to happen, but you never know.
135	* Split the difference: They'll bring back Dry Bowser (undead version of a previously-existing character) as the final boss.
136	** Jossed. It's King Boo.
137
138	[[WMG:The final boss will be a duo of King Boo and another, possibly non-ghostly character.]]
139	This theory is again a strawgrasp based on the fact that it feels like we're being drawn away from the real villain. As we've seen King Boo, and he seems to have completely lost his mind, he may be vulnerable to a new character taking advantage of his grudges to bear out one of their own: Why would King Boo bother capture everyone, when he could just deal with Mario like he's done in the past? Working off the evidence in the above WMG, it could be said that he's having influence from an unknown villain applied to his plan, making it possible that there's somebody we don't know about pulling the strings this round. This could be very, very interesting indeed if it's true, since we don't know what their motivations are to get at the heroes.
140	* The other villain will be revealed as Bowser.
141	** To be more specific (and more fitting for the theme of the series), he will appear as Dry Bowser.
142	*** Jossed.
143
144	[[WMG:There will be a circus or carnival-themed area, and with at least one ghost clown.]]
145	Considering that the MonsterClown trope just keeps getting more and more prevalent in media, maybe they'll do a more silly take on it? (On the other hand, ''VideoGame/YoshisCraftedWorld'' had some monster clowns played [[SurprisinglyCreepyMoment surprisingly straight]].)
146	** From the preview of most of the floors - which this trooper assumes is Basement 1 or 2 through Floor 12 - none of them are themed like that. Unless one of the currently as yet unexposed floors is that, which this trooper feels is unlikely, this will most likely be Jossed.
147	** Yep, it's Jossed.
148
149	[[WMG:The purple-skinned woman who invites the heroes into the hotel is working for King Boo, but will make a HeelFaceTurn.]]
150	Also, if it wasn't obvious, she's probably a ghost.
151	* Well, given how she speaks in the trailers, she sounds a lot like one. And given everything she's done so far, this trooper suspects that she might be the one to set them up ready for King Boo to go after. Also, her name is Hellen Gravely... Make of that what you will.
152	** The magenta skin, layered voice, and vitality status of the rest of the hotel pretty firmly establish she's a ghost. Promo art of her without her glasses shows she had pupil-less yellow eyes as well. Calling this confirmed.
153	** Her name is Hellen Gravely. [[DarknessVonGothickName She's totally a ghost]].
154	*** Confirmed for working with King Boo. Jossed on the HeelFaceTurn.
155
156	[[WMG:Alternatively, King Boo [[TheStarscream will be usurped by Hellen Gravely]]]]
157	It will turn out that Hellen's mostly working with him to open a chain of hotels across the world, but she gets frustrated and upset with how he keeps using her staff as [[WeHaveReserves undead shields]]. Eventually, near the end, she turns on him, calls out his behavior - and also reveals that King Boo is such a BadBoss [[TheDogBitesBack she's won over the Boos]], who help knock him out and stuff him [[LaserGuidedKarma into a painting]]. She then possesses the Last Resort itself [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever to attack Luigi]], wanting to keep the portraits of Mario and Peach as tourist attractions for the Koopa Troop ([[EvilIsPetty to laugh at]]).
158	* Given how she calls King Boo her love? Possibly Jossed. Although that is while he's nearby, so she could just be saying that so that he doesn't suspect a thing...
159	** Yep, jossed indeed.
160
161	[[WMG: The hotel was not the only illusion.]]
162	When Luigi and his friends arrive at the hotel, we can see that Hellen has a decent disguise but the staff? They are literally wearing paper masks that anyone could see through! They were probably disguised through the same magic that hid the true form of the hotel in their eyes and it's just shown as masks for comedy's sake.
163
164	[[WMG:The final boss will be...]]
165	* King Boo
166	** Confirmed.
167	* Hellen Gravely
168	** Jossed, though she is the penultimate boss.
169	* [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs King Boo and Hellen Gravely]]
170	* A possessed Daisy
171	* King Boolossus
172	* King Boo as a MonsterSuit
173	* A DualBoss against King Boo and another character (Hellen or Bowser)
174	* An entirely original character
175	* Vincent Van Gore
176	* Waluigi
177	* [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam Antasma]]
178	* Bowser and/or Dry Bowser
179	* A BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind where King Boo tries to control Luigi
180	* A warped EnemyWithin of Luigi that King Boo creates
181	* Gooigi - either an EvilCounterpart or him being BrainwashedAndCrazy
182
183	[[WMG:Going off the "King Boo is possessed" theory, he is FightingFromTheInside.]]
184	As stated in my ''Dark Moon'' WMG, the reason why King Boo is so unhinged in that game - as well as this one - could not be on his own volition, but due to an unknown evil possessing his crown between the first game and the second (hence its color change from red to purple, and the red crown not being retconned out in the [=3DS=] remake of the original game) - which could be why he ended up trying to ''destroy the whole universe just to get back at Luigi''. Here, while he does not try to destroy the universe, he does do quite heinous things, deeming his minions worthless and trying to suck up the entire Last Resort - with everyone in it. However, he does make a CallBack to his rant on how Luigi sucked up his fellow ghosts; back when he still bore [[AFatherToHisMen his fiercely loyal-to-subjects personality]]. To top it off, his MesACrowd attack shows his clones taking on a similar appearance to his design from the first game - also before he was corrupted. Which means, at the end, King Boo is starting to ''very slowly'' fight off whatever's possessing him. Which could be...
185
186	[[WMG:[[VideoGame/SuperPaperMario Dimentio]] was possessing King Boo.]]
187	As a last ditch effort before his demise, Dimentio had used the Chaos Heart's power to send his soul outside of the ''Paper Mario'' realm and into the main ''Mario'' dimension, to try and find a 'vessel' to possess in order to try to destroy the universe once more - and thus, he found King Boo's crown jewel to be the perfect one, capitalizing on his hatred toward Luigi and mitigating whatever redeeming qualms he has for his own benefit. And while King Boo's finally showing resistance, it isn't quite enough just yet. It doesn't help that King Boo seems to continue putting on his haunted crown, [[ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil although it isn't hard to speculate either.]]
188
189	[[WMG:Regarding the different kinds of Game Over possibilities in the game...]]
190	...both how King Boo captures the remaining people and why he turns to the player and laughs changes.
191	* If you let Luigi get caught during the prologue, he's laughing because you helped Hellen's plot go smoothly, just as she intended. King Boo is happy with her as a result, and may make her his second in command.
192	* If Luigi runs out of life before freeing E. Gadd, he's possibly laughing at the fact that without E. Gadd's help, Luigi is useless. He does berate Hellen a bit for letting Luigi escape at first, but he points out that capturing that annoying scientist first paid off, so she still becomes his second in command.
193	* If E. Gadd is freed, but Luigi loses to the Steward in B2, both Luigi and E. Gadd are easy pickings to be stuffed (back) into paintings. Hellen also still becomes his second in command
194	* Once the Lab is setup, if Luigi gets a Good Night outside of the below events, King Boo most likely finds the Lab after capturing Luigi and does what he does during the start of the final boss - except sticking E. Gadd and any Toads there into separate paintings. The odds of Hellen becoming his second in command depends on how many of the key bosses Luigi had defeated.
195	* If a ghost successfully captures a Toad while Luigi is escorting them back to the elevator, while Luigi is trying to find them, he gets ambooshed - either by some ghosts, or by King Boo himself - and stuffed into a painting, because there's no way King Boo would keep the recaptured Toads anywhere but with him. The rest are caught the same way as mentioned before.
196	* If Hellen, when she fights Luigi herself, defeats Luigi, she would stuff him in a painting and gift him to King Boo. The King would clearly accept it, but would then task Hellen with proving herself by catching the rest of the group before he could forgive her.
197	* If Hellen is defeated, but Luigi doesn't follow Mario and ends up being taken out, King Boo would stuff him into a painting, before using said painting to lull Mario to the roof, where he would be recaptured, along with the Toads and E. Gadd like explained above.
198	* While this trooper hasn't seen what the Good Night screen is like if you lose to King Boo, he suspects that if Luigi loses by running out of health in any of the three phases, King Boo will simply stuff him into the painting with Mario and co. Running out of time in the final phase... Unless King Boo moved out of the way, it'll mean that Luigi, King Boo ''and'' The Last Resort would end up in the painting, making it a PyrrhicVictory for the King. If he does though, it'll just mean he's not in the painting of the group and the hotel.
199	** Unfortunately, turns out the Good Night ending is the same there, a clear case of GameplayAndStorySegregation. That is, unless a future patch adds in a new game over screen for that...
200
201	[[WMG:Dr. Potter was the original owner of Haunted Towers from Dark Moon.]]
202	Both Haunted Towers and the Garden Suites and filled with all sorts of bizarre, dangerous plants, so there might well be a connection.
203	* If not the owner, he was probably the gardener who created the weird plants in his lab.
204
205	[[WMG:Johnny Deepend is related to Biff Atlas.]]
206
207	[[WMG: Although unseen, Luigi had released and made peace with the Portrait Ghosts of the first game, giving them the Rank A mansion as their new home.]]
208	This is why both Rank A and D mansions are seen outside of their original game; the latter belongs to Luigi while the former belongs to the ghosts. Both sequels end with Luigi on good terms with the ghosts of the game, with Luigi repairing their Dark Moon in the second game and helping to completely rebuild their destroyed hotel in the third. Given there appears to be a trend here, the trend may have already started between the first and second games, with Luigi rebuilding the first game's mansion for his former enemies. Despite being called "Luigi's NEW Mansion", Luigi lets the owners of the original it replaced keep it.
209
210	[[WMG:The reason Polterpup doesn't have the pupils in his eyes is because...]]
211
212	...the Last Resort is outside of the range of the Dark Moon. Remember, the Dark Moon only covers Evershade Valley and the surrounding area, and Luigi's D Rank mansion is close enough to the Valley to be in range. And Polterpup has grown so used to Luigi and co, plus, unlike other ghosts in the valley, (who were under King Boo's control) he only was a nusiance to Luigi who didn't attack him, and even could help him out if Luigi had a Gold Bone but ended up falling asleep.
213
214	[[WMG:Hellen Gravely sent Polterkitty to steal the elevator button acquired from Morty, because she saw Morty willingly give it to him.]]
215	Tracking Luigi's progress from the surveillance room, she refused to let Luigi get off that easily when her screens showed Morty just handing it over. And so, Polterkitty was sent to swipe the button and further hinder Luigi's progress.
216
217	[[WMG:The Boss Ghosts' causes of death]]
218	Come on, they're ghosts. Yes, it's morose to think about death in a Mario game, but so long as we're making Wild Mass Guesses here, we may as well speculate what caused each of these phantoms to join the land of the dead in the first place. Any ideas?
219
220	* Clem:
221	** Probably some kind of machinery-related death. Perhaps the machine had NoOSHACompliance, or maybe he was disregarding safety guidelines out of laziness.
222	* Steward:
223	** Tried lifting luggage that was just too heavy and either got crushed or fatally injured his spine or something similar.
224	* Chef Soulfflé:
225	** He could have slipped on a puddle of grease that someone forgot to mop up. Or perhaps a kitchen fire.
226	** Or maybe [[WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}} a food critic gave him a particularly cruel review,]] leading him into a DespairEventHorizon.
227	* Kruller:
228	** Shot when trying to stop a robber without having any real training for that kind of situations. He is actually a pretty nice person when not under King Boo's control and had no idea about Gravely's evil plan.
229	* Amadeus Wolfgeist:
230	** [[Theatre/{{Amadeus}} Murdered by whoever's the Marioverse's counterpart to Antonio Salieri.]]
231	* Chambrea:
232	** Tragically killed by a hotel guest that mistook her for a thief when they returned to their room and caught her admiring something they had brought with them.
233	* King [=MacFrights=]:
234	** He was never a real king or knight, but a Fast Food mascot who died in an embarrassing accident while in costume.
235	** The whole floor seems like a cheesy tourist attraction, so maybe he was a performer playing the role of King who died in a Medieval Times-esque jousting show when the weapons turned out to be all too real.
236	* Dr. Potter:
237	** Eaten or constricted by one of his own plants.
238	** Or maybe [[Music/RedVox his entire garden turned against him and buried him alive.]]
239	* Morty:
240	** Died in a studio fire. Or maybe one of his movies bombed so badly that he was DrivenToSuicide.
241	* Ug:
242	** Eaten by a dinosaur. (Yes, I am aware that dinosaurs and cavemen didn't exist at the same time, but there are living dinosaurs in the Mario universe, as [[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey Odyssey]] has shown)
243	* Serpci:
244	** She's an actual ancient queen and was poisoned by a relative who was after her throne, the poison, of course, being a venomous snakebite. She only haunts the hotel because Hellen Gravely bought her sarcophagus.
245	* The magician trio:
246	** Died in a magic trick GoneHorriblyWrong.
247	* Captain Fishook:
248	** He's a shark, so maybe he just got caught by a fishing boat.
249	** Or he was a pirate that was forced to walk the plank and got eaten by sharks, and took the form of a shark post-mortem.
250	** Or he was killed in a duel with [[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Jonathan Jones]], who then took his place as captain.
251	* Johnny Deepend:
252	** He could have drowned after getting caught on a pool drain, ''Franchise/FinalDestination''-style.
253	* DJ Phantasmagloria:
254	** Committed suicide after realizing that [[StealthPun disco is dead.]]
255	** On the other hand, she could have gotten [[ManOnFire burned alive]] after her club turned into a [[VisualPun literal]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG8TyIEAqps Disco Inferno]]. [[spoiler: It'd also explain her afro wig, in that her original hair was all burned off during the fire]]
256	* Hellen Gravely:
257	** She lives on the top floor of the hotel, so maybe she [[DisneyVillainDeath fell off the balcony.]]
258	** Alternatively, considering she's a King Boo LoonyFan, she may have been [[ILoveTheDead an undead worshipping]] Main/{{Cult}}ist, who proceeded to [[HumanSacrifice murder most if not ALL of her own staff]], and then [[MurderSuicide killed herself]] to [[RitualMagic transform her hotel into a haunted deathtrap]] [[{{Yandere}} befitting her "beloved" King Boo]].
259	* Polterkitty:
260	** Was Hellen Gravely's cat in life, and starved to death after Hellen died.
261	** Or, considering it has [[BakenekoAndNekomata multiple tails akin to a nekomata]], it's possible that it was DeadAllAlong, and [[PetMonstrosity Hellen purchased the already-a-ghost Polterkitty]] as part of her [[ILoveTheDead obsession with the supernatural]].
262
263	[[WMG:Amadeus Wolfgeist was the original composer of the famous Library Piano tune from ''[[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon Dark Moon]]''.]]
264	Wolfgeist has a player piano in his dressing room that plays that tune when repaired. And the fact that he's clearly meant to be a piano composer makes it likely he wrote that song himself. The Poltergeist of Gloomy Manor who plays it is most likely a fan of Wolfgeist's work.
265
266	[[WMG:Luigi's Mansion 4 will take place in the TV World]]
267	Luigi will have to venture into the TV World and explore several (obviously toned-down) parodies of famous horror movies to rescue his friends.
268
269	* Why restrict it to just movies? Why not horror media in general? Admit it, exploring an {{Expy}} of the [[Series/StrangerThings Upside Down]] and facing off against a blatant parody of [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Mr. X]] as Luigi would be awesome.
270	** Fighting a blatant parody of [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry an L5 Patient]] will be [[BlackComedy horribly hilarious!]]
271
272	[[WMG:The next model of Poltergust will use [[AllYourPowersCombined all the features of the previous models]]]]
273	Except for trading the 3000's [[MakingASplash Water Element Medal]] for a [[ShockAndAwe Lightning Medal]] [[note]]The [[AnIcePerson Ice Element Medal]] will take over the role of putting out fire[[/note]], just for the sake of completing a [[FireIceLightning set]]. It would also have some unique features of its own, of course.
274
275	[[WMG:The gems on F7 (the Garden Suites) are made of leftover pieces of the gems on other floors.]]
276	Gems naturally have very rough shapes, and need to be cut in order to look more appealing to humans. Some of the gems in the hotel, such as the ones on F4, F9 and B2, have very irregular shapes, meaning that lots of rock had to be cut out. The gems on F7, on the other hand, are made of smaller pieces of other gems. Whoever cut the gems must've used leftover pieces of other gems to make them.
277
278	[[WMG:King [=MacFrights's=] original name was [[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} "King MacDeath"]]]]
279	But Nintendo thought it was too morbid/scary and [[ExecutiveMeddling asked Next Level Games to change it.]]
280
281	[[WMG:The Boss Ghosts' (sans the BigBadDuumvirate) stance with Luigi post-game.]]
282	While they were initially all against Luigi, he did rebuild their hotel. And all except Hellen Gravely, Polterkitty, and King Boo are free. However, their differing personalities and, in some cases, personal goals, mean they'd have varying standings with the plumber in green.
283
284	* Clem:
285	** Probably not that fond of and still a jerk to Luigi.
286	* Steward:
287	** Intimidated by but respectful towards Luigi, especially since his job at the hotel is probably everything to him.
288	* Chef Soulfflé:
289	** Will probably [[NeverLiveItDown never fully forgive Luigi for ruining his meal]], but he does love the new kitchen he and the other protagonists built for him.
290	* Kruller:
291	** Probably has no beef with Luigi at all, considering Kruller was [[JustFollowingOrders only doing his job]] and seemed to mistake Luigi for a mall theif. Probably gets along fine with him after he learns what Luigi was doing, ''especially'' after they rebuild the hotel.
292	* Amadeus Wolfgeist:
293	** Probably displays a fair amount of respect for Luigi for [[DefeatMeansRespect being able to best him]], and probably happy to see Luigi took lessons from [[VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon another ghost pianist]].
294	* Chambrea:
295	** Like Steward, probably intimidated by but respectful toward Luigi due to him saving her job.
296	* King [=MacFrights=]:
297	** Respects Luigi, but out of embarrassment over his defeat refuses to admit it.
298	* Dr. Potter:
299	** Is a jerk through and through, and he probably hates Luigi, rebuilt hotel or not. If the theory that he is the Haunted Towers gardener is correct, he'd probably ''really'' hate it if he heard Luigi was mucking about in his old lab.
300	* Morty:
301	** Of course, Morty loves his big-time movie star, whether or not Luigi captures him. Though if he did, that might still make things awkward between them.
302	%%* Ug:
303	%%**
304	* Serpci:
305	** She also respects Luigi [[DefeatMeansRespect for his capacity to actually best her]], admiring his strengh and nobility.
306	* The magician trio:
307	** They're more or less cool with Luigi now, but they are ''definitely'' not above messing with him with their magic still now and then.
308	%%* Captain Fishook:
309	%%**
310	* Johnny Deepend:
311	** Probably begrudgingly admits he underestimated how strong the little dude is.
312	* DJ Phantasmagloria:
313	** Probably chill with Luigi now and more than happy to invite him back on the dance floor another time.
314
315	[[WMG:King Boo will come out again and trap everyone in paintings for real]]
316	King Boo takes everyone prisoner, making sure to recapture Mario, Luigi and E. Gadd to prevent them from throwing any light into the future. He moves on, taking capture of every single person he comes across. Toads, Yoshis, even Donkey Kong and his family get imprisoned in King Boo's paintings... except for one person. One who he ignored, [[JokeCharacter because that person was so weak it wasn't worth using a painting on them]]. One person who is left behind, and must take a level in badass, free everyone and stop King Boo.
317
318	''[[AscendedExtra Waluigi]].''
319
320	[[WMG:Most of the boss ghosts altered their floors to fit their own preferences]]
321	We know from the beginning of the game that the ghosts can alter the look of the hotel, making from pleasant to creepy, but that was only a minor change. My theory is that other floors have been altered to the point where they no longer resemble their original forms.
322
323	The obvious thing you'll notice is that the floors are all different sizes and shapes and don't really look like they could all be stack one on top of the other.
324
325	The other thing you'll notice is the surprising shortage of gest rooms. I mean seriously, what kind of hotel prioritizes entertainment over guest accommodation? The Magician floor especially. Why can't the pianist and the magicians share a stage? I think that the Magician floor was a normal guest floor, but the Magicians altered it to be magic themed, and moved all the rooms around.
326
327	Also the pyramid floor looks really out of place. Again, probably a normal guest floor altered by Serpci to look like a tomb. Same with most of the others.
328
329	[[WMG:Nikki, Lindsey and Ginny are somehow related to the portrait ghost family from the first game.]]
330	They all have 100hp each, and look similar to some of the family. the only difference is that most of the portrait ghost are blue, whilst these three are purple, but there could be a number of reasons for this (I just can't think of any).
331
332	[[WMG:King [=MacFrights=] was initially going to be known as King [=MacDeath=].]]
333	It's the more natural option for the pun on "Macbeth" that the game was going for, so it seems likely that it was going to be such before it was determined the name was too explicitly dark.
334
335	[[WMG:The Boss Ghosts from the original Luigis Mansion were significantly stronger but less varied then the new ones.]]
336	Either because the new ones are BrainwashedAndCrazy courtesy of King Boo and thus not normally hostile or being several decades newer they aren't as supernaturally powerful on average as the ghosts from E. Gadd's gallery. Given Luigi has repeatedly bested stronger opponents King Boo and Hellen Graves went for greater variety of powers or traps over raw strength having weaker but more varied and numerous force. Notably though Nikki, Ginny, and Lindsey are the strongest being able to create a pocket dimension when they worked together just like Chauncy, Bogmire, Boolossus, and King Boo.
337
338	[[WMG:Nikki, Ginny, Lindsey AND Wolfgesit were actually working with King Boo on their own, only joining Hellen Gravely due to aid them too.]]
339
340	I mean, who's to say that they could be ghosts that, despite given the chance of being redeem, they would reject it just to still aid King Boo? (albeit, in a less "biggest fan" way like Hellen was going with). Or, that they were evil before and no matter what luigi does to the hotel wouldn't change their disposition towards him?
341
342	I mean, when you look at their floors in the hotel, it's means they do share a bit of ties with King Boo.
343
344	On Wolfgeist's floor: The Great Hall's Elevator hall, when coming near the Concession Stand, we can see a Boo-shaped "door" that when interacted, its takes you to the stand. It's funny that this is the ONLY Boo-related furniture (except for the everything in Hellen Gravely's floor) that is shaped of a Boo, right? Who's to say that Amadeus Wolfgeist was a composer for King Boo's orchestra before the king was trapped in the painting during the first game?
345
346	As for the mage triplets? Well, they manage to pull on very realistic illusionary powers, far beyond your ordinary stage magician variety… Who's to say that they didn't learned from King Boo himself, being a "master of illusions"? (whatever it was when the sisters where alive or after king boo was freed in dark moon is unknown… but if it was after dark moon but before the game, King Boo would be a bungling teacher at best and a "yeah, yeah, here's how you can improve your skills, now LET ME IN PEACE SO I CAN FINALLY HATCH A SCHEME TO TAKE LUIGI OUT OF MY UN-LIFE, PLEASE!!!" at worst.) As well, their ability to cast illusions around their floor would be in a way to get the attention of King Boo so they can also get their praise too, just like Hellen herself (albeit, it would be praise of a master towards its students instead of a looney fan to its idol).
