Editing Luigi's Mansion (section)

==Plot==
Luigi is notified about winning a mansion in a contest he never entered. He informs Mario and they agree to meet up there that evening. Luigi follows a map to the mansion, located in a dark forest, and finds it more sinister-looking than the supplied photo. With Mario nowhere to be found, Luigi enters the mansion alone. He encounters a ghost, which attacks him, but is unexpectedly saved by a diminutive and elderly scientist who unsuccessfully tries to deter the ghost with a vacuum cleaner. They escape as more ghosts appear and the scientist introduces himself as Professor Elvin Gadd, or E. Gadd for short. He explains the mansion is supernatural in origin and only appeared a few days prior.<ref name="Instructions"/><ref>{{cite video game|quote='''E.

As Luigi explores the mansion, he discovers that it was created by [[List of Mario franchise characters#King Boo|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 Mario Bros. into a trap in retaliation for the Boos they defeated in the past. Working his way through each of the darkened floors, halls, and locked rooms, Luigi recaptures the escaped ghosts 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. While recapturing the last of the ghosts, Luigi finds the key that unlocks the altar's entrance and confronts King Boo, who, now disdainful over Luigi capturing his minions, pulls Luigi into the painting. Using his illusionary powers within a [[pocket dimension]] inside it, King Boo creates a suit-like replica of [[Bowser]] to combat Luigi.<ref>{{cite video game|quote='''King Boo:''' Don't imagine that I'll flee... I'll fight you like a true Boo!|title=Luigi's Mansion|developer=Nintendo EAD|publisher=Nintendo|date=November 18, 2001|platform=Nintendo GameCube}}</ref> Using the replica's abilities against it, Luigi is able to force King Boo out of it and capture him. Returned to the real world in the aftermath, Luigi finds Mario unconscious but still trapped within the painting, which he triumphantly carries out of the mansion.<ref>{{cite video game|quote='''E. Gadd:''' Luigi, you did it! Truly remarkable, my boy! I supplied the Poltergust 3000, but you ran with it all the way to the top, sonny!... What's that? You found King Boo? He jumped into a painting of Bowser, you say? He even blew fire at you?|title=Luigi's Mansion|developer=Nintendo EAD|publisher=Nintendo|date=November 18, 2001 |platform=Nintendo GameCube}}</ref> Returning to E. Gadd's laboratory, he informs Luigi that the mansion has ceased to exist, due to it being an illusion, as they turn King Boo into a painting along with the last of the recaptured ghosts. Using the Ghost Portrificationizer's reverse function, Luigi frees Mario from his painting.<ref>{{cite video game|quote='''E. Gadd:''' ...Right, well, anyhoo, Luigi! Grab your brother's painting and bring him to the lab!... I'll get the machine ready to return your brother to his former state, all righty?|title=Luigi's Mansion|developer=Nintendo EAD|publisher=Nintendo|date=November 18, 2001|platform=Nintendo GameCube}}</ref> 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, with its size determined by the amount of treasure collected during the game.
