Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, also known as Luigi's Mansion 2 in Europe, is an exciting video game made for the Nintendo 3DS console. It is the second game in the Luigi's Mansion series, following the first game released on the Nintendo GameCube. This game was first released in Japan on March 20, 2013, and then in North America on March 24, 2013.
Story of the Dark Moon
The game's adventure begins in a place called Evershade Valley. Here, a special object known as the Dark Moon shatters into many pieces. When this happens, all the friendly ghosts in the valley suddenly become mean and wild!
Professor E. Gadd, a clever scientist, needs help. He asks Luigi to find all the missing pieces of the Dark Moon. Luigi's mission is to put the Dark Moon back together. If he succeeds, the ghosts will become friendly again, and peace will return to Evershade Valley.
How to Play the Game
In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, players control Luigi as he explores different haunted houses. There are six unique mansions to discover, each filled with secrets and ghosts.
- Exploring Mansions: Luigi must search every room, looking for hidden items and clues.
- Catching Ghosts: Luigi uses his special ghost-catching vacuum, the Poltergust 5000. To catch a ghost, Luigi first needs to stun it with his flashlight. Then, he vacuums it up until its health runs out.
- Using the Nintendo 3DS: The game uses the Nintendo 3DS console's special features. Players can tilt the console to look around or aim Luigi's Poltergust. This makes exploring the spooky mansions even more immersive.
