== Story ==
=== Opening ===
Luigi, deep within Boo Woods, has gotten completely lost searching for his new mansion that he won in a contest. He didn’t enter any contest, however he wanted too excited by the thought of having his very own mansion that he didn’t think about it. Before this, though, he had invited his closest friends to go there and celebrate with him. His brother, Mario. His friend, Yoshi. And the Princess, Peach.
Once Luigi finds a clearing in the forest with the mansion in the middle, the player takes control of Luigi. He can explore the outside of the mansion, with Boo Woods acting as the borders. There is a shack outside that the player cannot enter yet, but will eventually be the location of E. Gadd’s Lab. Once inside the mansion, Luigi sees a key fall to the floor after something picked it up. He uses it to enter the Parlor. There, he gets ambushed by a ghost!! E. Gadd, and old ghost catcher, attempts, and fails, to catch the ghost. He rushes Luigi and himself back to his lab. E. Gadd explains how he saw Luigi’s friends enter the mansion, but did not see them come back. He also says how the mansion wasn’t there last night, and that he suspects his escaped portrait ghosts were freed by some sort of ghost, and are now hiding inside the mansion. Once Luigi goes through training, he can go back to the mansion
=== Area 1 ===
Inside the mansion again, Luigi can explore various rooms. Once he finds a key to the Study, E. Gadd calls Luigi from his Game Boy Horror explaining how there are Portrait Ghosts somewhere nearby, and that they are more tricky to take down than regular ghosts. Their hearts need to be exposed by solving some sort of puzzle first.
Luigi can then find the two Portrait Ghosts in Area 1, Neville, and Lydia. After obtaining a key from the Master Bedroom, Luigi hears cries from the Nursery. Once entering the room, Luigi will encounter the first Boss Ghost. They are Portrait Ghosts with immense power. In the Nursery is Chauncey, a one year old ghost who hates grown ups. After catching Chauncey, Luigi is called down to E. Gadd’s Lab.
=== Area 2 ===
After returning to the Mansion, Luigi will now have access to the first floor rooms. There, he can catch more Portrait Ghosts, like the Floating Whirlindas, Shivers, Melody, Mr. Luggs, Chef Pepper, and Spooky the dog. Luigi can also encounter the Freaky Fortune Teller, Madame Clairvoya. Madame can inspect dropped items from each of Luigi’s friends. Mario dropped 3 items, while Yoshi and Peach dropped 1 each. In area 2 you can find only find Mario’s Hat.
Luigi also sets free 50 Boos around the mansion. After a room has been cleared of all ghosts, a Boo could be hiding in it somewhere. E. Gadd adds the Boo Radar to the Game Boy Horror, allowing you to track Boos.
In the Boneyard, once Spooky has been defeated, you can get behind the fence into Boo Woods. After following a long trail, you get to the Cemetery. After defeating a few Skeletons, you will encounter the next Boss Ghost, Bogmire. After he is defeated, you will be brought back to E. Gadd’s lab to turn all the ghosts you caught into portraits.
=== Area 3 ===
After returning to the mansion once again, you will have access to the rest of the second floor. However, in the Courtyard, in the Well, you will find something peculiar… it’s King Boo’s secret altar! You can’t get in, but you can peek in and see… Mario! However, he has been turned into a portrait. There are many portrait ghosts you can catch in Area 3, such as Biff Atlas, Miss Petunia, Slim Bankshot, Nana, Henry and Orville, and Ghoulileo.
After finding Mario’s Star from the Observatory, Peach’s Crown from Henry and Orville, Yoshi’s Fruit from the Projection Room, and Mario’s Letter from the Courtyard, Madame Clairvoya tells you that Bowser is within the mansion somewhere! She also begs that Luigi brings her back to her portrait, since she is a Portrait Ghost too. 
Madame Clairvoya gives you the key to the Balcony, where you will find the next Boss Ghost, Boolossus, a trusted servant to King Boo. Boolossus was also the one that set all of the Portrait Ghosts free after King Boo set him free. After Boolossus is defeated, he drops a portrait of another one of Luigi’s friends, Yoshi. With Yoshi found, E. Gadd calls you back to the lab to not only turn the ghosts back into their portraits, but also return Yoshi to normal.
=== Area 4 ===
Area 4 begins with you going back to the Balcony, where you try to unlock a door, however, there is a blackout due to a lightning striking the mansion. E. Gadd calls and explains how the Breaker Room, a usually unlocked door, is seemingly locked now. He believes a ghost named Uncle Grimmly stole locked the door and has the key, as he lives the pitch black setting of the blackout, and wants to keep it that way. During the blackout, ghosts will overwhelm you, and you more often then not will just have to run from ghosts if you want to live. Uncle Grimmly is hiding in the Mirror Room, and after you get back into the Breaker Room, the blackout event ends.
There are more Portrait Ghosts other than Uncle Grimmly, such as the Clockwork Soldiers, Sue Pea, Jarvis, and Sir Weston. In the Gallery, a room in the Attic, you will encounter the next Boss Ghost, Vincent Van Gore. The first phase of the boss is like any old Portrait Ghost. He sends out many ghosts while painting another picture in the background. After all of his ghost paintings are gone, he reveals that the painting he was painting is a portal. Once teleported to the boss arena,, he sends out even more ghosts and attacks you at the same time. Once he is defeated, he drops the key to the Secret Altar. He also has the portrait of Princess Peach, who is saved by Professor E. Gadd.
=== Ending ===
Headed back into the mansion for the last time, you are on the hunt for Mario’s portrait. You remember that Vincent Van Gore dropped the key to the last door in the game, so you go there. Inside is King Boo and Mario’s portrait. After defeating King Boo, the mansion disappears, but is rebuilt by Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and E. Gadd as a home for Luigi with all of the treasure he found within the ghostly manor. In the post game, you can either explore Luigi’s new home, look at the paintings of Portrait Ghosts (And relight them), or check out the Hidden Mansion, a hard mode with a new-ish story. (It’s mostly the same, except King Boo is mostly just getting revenge by kidnapping Mario and the others once more, and there are more ghosts + portrait ghosts have more health than before)
