Luigi’s Mansion
Luigi’s Mansion (2001)
Luigi wins a mansion in a contest he never entered so he informs Mario and they agree to meet up at the mansion that evening. Luigi follows a map to the mansion located in a dark forest but can not find Mario so he enters the mansion alone. He is attacked by ghosts but is saved by Professor Elvin Gadd (E. Gadd) who deters the ghost with the Poltergust 3000 vacuum cleaner.
Professor E. Gadd explains the mansion is supernatural in origin and only appeared a few days prior. He saw Mario heading towards the mansion, but has not seen him since. E. Gadd entrusts Luigi with his ghost-hunting equipment, the Poltergust 3000 and Game Boy Horror communication device, as the latter re-enters the mansion to find Mario.
As Luigi explores the mansion, he discovers that it was created by King Boo to shelter the now-freed special ghosts that E. Gadd had previously captured and turned into paintings with a large machine dubbed the "Ghost Portrificationizer". King Boo subsequently sent the false notification of Luigi winning the mansion to lure the brothers into a trap.
Luigi recaptures the escaped ghosts, 50 Boos, and discovers that Mario has been trapped inside of a painting by King Boo and held captive in a secret ritualistic altar in the mansion's basement. Luigi defeats King Boo and frees Mario.
In an epilogue, as a sign of gratitude towards Luigi for all his help, E. Gadd has a new non-haunted house for him built on the former site of the mansion.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 (2013)
Professor E. Gadd has been researching ghosts in Evershade Valley, with some assistance from his friendly Greenies. When King Boo appears and shatters the Dark Moon, breaking it into 6 pieces and scattering them to each mansion of the valley, the once friendly ghosts become aggressive, forcing E. Gadd to retreat into his Bunker.
While relaxing at home, Luigi is teleported by E. Gadd via the Pixelator into E. Gadd's Bunker to search for the scattered pieces of the Dark Moon and solve this problem. E. Gadd equips Luigi with the Poltergust 5000 and the Dual Scream (a modified Nintendo DS). E. Gadd also utilizes the Parascope to help search for the Dark Moon pieces.
Luigi explores the Gloomy Manor not far from the Bunker, the Haunted Towers found in a forest, the Old Clockworks found within a nearby desert, the Secret Mine found in the snowy mountains, and finally the Treacherous Mansion found above a ravine with the ocean around it. Luigi battles a variety of ghosts including the Possessor ghosts, upgrades his Poltergust 5000 with the Dark-Light Device, recovers pieces of the Dark Moon, and rescues E. Gadd’s Toad assistants.
After defeating King Boo and saving Mario, Luigi and the Toads rebuild the Dark Moon, and the ghosts in Evershade Valley return to being friendly again. Luigi befriends the Polterpup.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 (2019)
Luigi, Polterpup, Mario, Princess Peach, and a trio of Toads visit The Last Resort, a luxurious high-rise and Art Deco-styled hotel nestled in a mountainside area, for a vacation. After arriving and settling in, Luigi wakes up during the night to find the hotel transfigured to appear haunted and the others missing. He discovers that the hotel's ghostly owner, Hellen Gravely, lured the group there as part of a trap by King Boo, whom she idolizes and had freed from Professor E. Gadd's custody after his recapture in Luigi’s Mansion 2. King Boo announces his plot to take revenge on Luigi and his friends for his past defeats by imprisoning them in portraits, but Luigi narrowly escapes to the basement through a laundry chute. With the help of Polterpup, Luigi explores the basement and comes across E. Gadd's car in The Last Resort's parking garage and finds his latest Poltergust G-00 inside it. Using the device, Luigi finds E. Gadd's Dark-Light Device and uses it to free him. Setting up a portable laboratory in the garage, E. Gadd explains how he was also tricked into visiting the hotel and taken hostage by Hellen, who then plundered his latest ghost collection to staff the building. Believing that Luigi's friends are likely trapped on the upper floors, E. Gadd recommends that Luigi finds the elevator buttons for the upper floors that had been taken from the main elevator. While exploring the floors, each featuring a different theme to them, Luigi is supported further by some of E. Gadd's latest creations – the Virtual Boo communication device (a modified Virtual Boy) and Gooigi, an ectoplasmic doppelgänger of Luigi who serves as the professor's ghost-catching protégé. Left without any other choice, Luigi begins his search for the missing elevator buttons in order to visit each of the Last Resort's many floors.
Coming across and defeating a variety of different ghosts throughout the hotel, Luigi reclaims the elevator buttons and rescues the Toads. Eventually, he reaches the top floor where he confronts a furious Hellen and manages to defeat her before rescuing Mario. Luigi then follows him to the roof where they find Peach's portrait. Upon freeing her, the group is confronted by King Boo who prepares to imprison them and their allies in a single portrait. After being inadvertently saved by Polterpup at the last second, Luigi, aided by Gooigi, finds himself forced to defeat King Boo once again. During the battle, King Boo enlarges the portrait's frame in an attempt to pull in The Last Resort with Luigi still on the roof. Luigi soon triumphs over King Boo and manages to recover the portrait moments before the whole hotel crumbles to the ground from its endured strain. After freeing his friends from the portrait, the ghosts Luigi had captured escape from their containment in E. Gadd's now-destroyed lab and attempt to attack, but they suddenly become social when the jewel from King Boo's crown vanishes, suggesting that they were all brainwashed. E. Gadd, seeing the ghosts upset over their home's unintended destruction, elects for the group to build a new hotel, while the recaptured King Boo is returned to his custody alongside Hellen.
Depending on how much money Luigi collected throughout his adventure, the new hotel, which has been remade in E. Gadd's image, will be different in size. After the grand re-opening, Luigi and his friends return home.
