A Luigi’s Mansion (BlueKraid)

A Luigi’s Mansion A fan game and critique on Luigi’s Mansion 3 for the Nintendo Switch which is awesome! But here’s how it could be better.
*Floors need to be more Metroidvanian and encourage back tracking with later abilities and upgrades to the Poltergust G-00. Not one or two visits and that’s it.
*More upgrades and abilities ie bring back the elemental ghosts from the GameCube game! Also encourage backtracking and more labyrinthine floors by mandating the use of these elemental powers. Ie spiderwebs to burn, ice to freeze, water to put out flaming doors as well as basic locked doors.
* Get rid of nonsensical themed floors. Ie Castle MacFrights. How many five plus star luxury hotels have an on site medieval re-enactment fair? And why would it be on the sixth floor and not at ground level?! And why does this floor have sky when there are floors above it?!
*Make Mario, Peach and the toads playable.
*Make Oogtar Ratgoo a playable and rescue-able character caught by King Boo.
*Bowser as a boss.
*Clever puzzles, not, Dark light this. Strobulb that... by all means keep us having to go back to using those skills but not every flipping conceivably locked thing!
*More ghost types. Why does Dark Moon have more basic ghost types in one player mode than this?! Bring back the Creepers, Gobblers and Boffins!
*Be more scary, and not just jump scares!
*Less stingy on the hearts or make the ghosts less cheap with their attacks! Being pummelled while wondering what just clobbered me is not fun!
*Make Mario’s capture a shock and not right after the prologue “Huh duh! I turned Mario into a painting again!”
== Main characters ==
*Luigi.
The younger and taller brother of the famous Mario Mario. Works as a plumber be side his brother in Brooklyn he also plays tennis, golf, soccer and many other hobbies. Easily frightened of most things especially ghosts, he has got braver over the years and made a name for himself as a ghost hunter or ghostbuster. Tall and wears green, often calling for his brother or screaming at ghosts. You play as him.
*Mario
The Red garbed hero himself the Super Duper Mario! Luigi’s older brother. This time he takes second fiddle to Luigi as he gets captured once again by King Boo. 
You’ll find he can be quite the glutton...
*Peach, Princess Toadstool.
The Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and Mario & Luigi’s friend and possibly Mario’s girlfriend. Isn’t he dating Pauline?!
She regularly gets captured and kidnapped. This time round is no exception. You’ll find her room is painted pink to her royal request and she takes a lot of luggage with her on vacation... Also she likes to have formal tea and tea parties.
*Princess Daisy.
Ruler of Sarasaland. Luigi’s girlfriend. Why the flip is he lonely in this game? Oh, he has that annoying Poltapup for company? No he has a love interest too! Come on Nintendo!
You have to rescue her too. Her room is a sunny yellow and she likes to have tea too.
*Yoshi
Mario and Luigi’s gluttonous pet dinosaur. Eats things by grabbing them with his tongue. He can lay things he has eaten into eggs and throw then. He can also become big egg and roll around.
He gets captured too.
His hotel suite is built to resemble a dog house with a wooden interior and a simple bed with a water and food bowl. 
*Poltapup
An annoying ghost puppy from the last game that is friends with Luigi. Revives you if you have a golden bone and tells you where to go next but won’t let you backtrack. Turn him off in the options menu to rectify this so you only have to see him when he revives you.
*Toad
A small cute little mushroom man and Peach’s manservant. Even more frightened of things than Luigi, shamelessly replaces Oogtar in the Super Mario 3 cartoon. As such the cave runt dislikes him.
You have to rescue him too as he is not the save point anymore. Imagine if you couldn’t save until after Amadeus Wolfgeist?! Luckily you save at the plentiful Gadd Inc technology filled save rooms.
* The other, colour hat toads.
Ie Blue Toads, Yellow Toads, Purple Toads etc. Fills up Roster slots we could have had Oogtar and Daisy in! Damn it! You have to rescue these clones of Toad so they can continue to waste roster slots in future games and not just be alternative skins or outfits!
*Oogtar Ratgoo. 
Annoying loud mouthed cave boy that’s not canon and only in the cartoon version of Super Mario World. However I am a huge fan of him and love him, platonically. Calls Yoshi Dino dude and Mario Plumber dude. He hates Toad for replacing him in main canon. Toad wishes he would quit whining and jabbering and learn proper grammar!
Speaks in bad cave man grammar and talks about what he eats for breakfast ie “Oogtar eat X, for breakfast.” Acts as the dude in distress and butt monkey as Yoshi or the others have to rescue him from something.
And of course you’re gonna have to rescue him from a painting.
*Prof. E. Gadd.
Your mentor, advisor and resident mad scientist. Once you rescue him from a painting in the ball room in the mezzanine and retrieve his luggage he acts as your hub in the basement to return to. As well as save at and fill your gallery with new ghosts etc. Contact him at anytime via the VB, later you can warp to and from the lab and back to wherever you left so you don’t have to go all the way back to an elevator.
Talks in quite frankly weird gibberish and has a weird taste in food and an unhealthy obsession with ghosts.
*King Boo.
King of Boos and the main antagonist. Really hates Luigi and E Gadd for constantly capturing him and his Boos. The final boss.
*Helena Grave.
Owner the Last Resort hotel and the secondary antagonist. Boss of the Master Suite.
*Other guests.
Ie My character Oscar Tamaki and Toon Link are on vacation too. Some guests are ghosts!
== Enemies ==
*Goob.
The third iteration of the basic ghost after the Greenie and the Orange/Gold Speeder Slightly more lightheartedly mischievous than the outright malevolent Gold Puncher but villains through and through unlike the brainwashed Greenies. A small blue ghost with not much health. Tiny Goobs have no HP and are sucked up instantly, however that’s because they spawn in larger numbers. Some Goobs, like the Greenie, get clever and wear masks, sunglasses or hold a shield making them harder to stun. Find another way to...
*Hammer.
The third iteration of the Blue Twirler after the Slammer. Big red and angry, this square shaped ghost has two tails and a lot of health! The big hefty guy.
*Oozer.
Like a cross between the Hider in that it hides in things to toss stuff at you but may leave its hiding spot to punch you like the Pink Punchers.
*Sleeker. 
Purple and sneaky like the Sneaker and grabber it specialises in becoming invisible and sneaking up on you to scare you! However a shine of the Dark Light forces them to become visible.
*Hugger. 
Like the Creeper and Grabber it grabs Luigi. This time by hugging him. Rapidly tap to break free of this green coloured overly friendly ghost.
*Gobbler.
Fat and spits goop to block doors until you suck it all up. Don’t waste time doing so until you catch this fat yellow spirit.
*Trapper.
Orange ghost with two blue tongues. If it grabs you with its tongues it spanks you.
*Ancestors. 
The previous iterations of the four main types of ghosts. King Boo’s ghosts are big pudgy hands and fangs. The grabber, a thin vampiric ghost wraps you up with its tail and drains you life, the creeper engulfs you in its goop like body. Smaller ones can only engulf your foot. The Hugger hugs you. 
*Boo. 
Basic Boo buddies. Vacuum their tongues to drain their health. They look funny when stunned/dizzy.
*Portrait ghost/Boss.
Bosses and mini bosses. They aren’t as easy to defeat...
*Vermin.
Rats, Spiders, Bats and Crows. Sometimes ghosts, sometimes alive. A strobulb flash kills them. Gold versions drop money.
*Bomb ghost.
A small red spiked ghost that can’t by sucked up because it explodes, hurting you. Found in dark corridors to keep them interesting.
*Ceiling bomber.
A ghost with zero health that drops from the ceiling and drops a bomb on you! Found in Dark corridors
*Celimg Surprise.
A ghost that drops from the ceiling to scare you! Found in dark corridors.
*Bowling Ghost.
Tosses a bowling ball at you. Found in dark corridors.
*Orbs. 
Those blue tiny round ghosts that appear when you make something visible again with the dark light. I call em orbs after orbs (Orbs of light ghost hunters see in photos that they think are remnants of spirits in this world.)
== Items ==
*Heart
Restores health. Keep it topped up or it’s game over!
*Coins
Money in its lowest value. Gold Mushroom Kingdom coins.
*Gold bars.
Worth more than coins.
*Bill notes. 
Worth more than gold bars.
*Gems.
Very rare and very valuable. When you get one Luigi will be pleased and has to celebrate.
*Key.
Some doors are locked. Get keys to unlock them. The eastern Mezzanine halls are locked instead of having a plunger shot blockage to stop you running the floor clean of pickups and area gems early and that’s another thing give us something else besides tokens to unlock concept art and music please!
*Elevator Button.
Opens a new floor. Defeat the floor boss to get it. Some floors have more than one boss.
*Heart Container.
Increase maximum health by 100 points. Found in safes, chest etc.
*Golden bone.
Polterpup revives you when you die.
*Poisonous Mushroom.
A bad item. Shrinks Luigi temporary so he can’t use the Poltergust and speaks in a squeaky voice when you tap the D pad to call for Mario. I missed these even if they spawned at annoying times like during a portrait ghost capture!
*Boo Bomb.
Explodes and damages Luigi. Spawned by some ghosts.
*Bomb.
Longer fused so you can suck them up with the Poltergust and launch them back at ghosts or at debris blocking some doors.
== Upgrades/Abilities ==
* Torch
find in E Gadd’s car in the garage. With the Strobulb stun ghosts with a flash. Simply shine about to burn away the harmful darkness. Hold R to turn it off if you’re feeling suicidal.
* Poltergust G-00
The latest model. Your bread and butter for catching ghosts by sucking them up. Found in E Gadd’s car in the garage along with the torch. This model has an ability that allows you to butt slam by tapping Rz and Lz at once. Use this to go through fragile floors.
*Strobulb.
Allows you to flash ghosts stunning them. And activate Strobulb locks (A green circle glowing thing on some doors and chests and safes.) Find in the wine cellar of B1 floor on the opposite wall of the door to the garbage but halfway down the corridor. However upon getting it prepare to fight your first ghosts! Three Goobs, then two Goobs. And of course you’ll need the Strobulb to get out as the door from inside this room is locked with a Strobulb lock.
*Dark light Device.
Shines ultraviolet light to reveal ectoplasm left by ghosts and force invisible things back into solid visible form again. But you must suck up the tiny blue orbs first. Also use this upgrade to free things from special Dark Light paintings, ie money, area gems, your trapped friends.
Find this in a strobulb locked safe in the Storage room on 2f.
*Suction shot.
Obtain automatically after freeing E Gadd from the painting in the Ball Room. Fire a plunger on a rope to grapple and pull things out of the way or swing them about to smash glass or fragile cracked stone objects, ie that stupid unbreakable pillar with cracks in the garage.
Aim it directly up to launch a grapple rope to swing from to swing across gaps. Because it’s a grappling hook Nintendo... make use of it...
*Gooigi tank.
Tap the Right stick to summon a green gooey gelatinous clone of Luigi to help you out. He can walk through grated or barred barriers or ooze through floor grates. He is also indestructible to spikes and arrows. However water will melt him so keep him away from water.
Obtain when you return E Gadd’s suitcase/Luggage from 5f to him.
*Fire medallion.
Tiny fire spirits spawn from fire to give you fire as a flamethrower that you can shoot with Lz whenever you need fire when there’s none to burn webs, thorny vines, melt icy barriers on doors and burn fake doors. Found in boiler room on 1f colonnade. 
*Water medallion. 
Tiny water spirits spawn from taps and water fountains and lawn sprinklers to give you water to shoot with Lz when there is watering cans about to put out fires and water plants.
*Ice medallion.
Tiny ice spirits spawn from freezers, open tubs of ice cream and other very cold things ie air conditioners. Suck one up to have the ability to shoot an ultra cold stream with Lz to freeze water and other fluids so Gooigi can walk across, also some water is too deep for Luigi to walk through.
*Super Suction.
Needed to use certain electric sockets to send a power surge into them to unlock things etc Get the green musical note gem on floor 4. Found in the stables of 6f. Because waiting until floor 12 is really stupid! Invent more power ups Nintendo...
Your suction stream is stronger too, with a longer range and stronger pull and lightning arcing about inside the gust funnel. Basically it looks really cool and you’ll tear apart walls and rip through anything!
