Luigi's Mansion was a Nintendo GameCube launch title. It was released in North America on November 17, 2001. This is the second game that stars Luigi in the leading role (the first being Mario is Missing!). Luigi's Mansion is a Player's Choice title.
Story
Luigi has just won a contest he did not sign up for. His prize: a mansion! Obviously thrilled about his good fortune, Luigi writes to his brother, Mario. In his letter he invites Mario to meet him at his new property and celebrate.
Upon arrival at the mansion Luigi becomes terrified. Mario should have already gotten here, but he's nowhere to be seen. Also, man is this one spooky place!
Luigi enters the mansion calling out for his brother and is promptly attacked by a ghost. He is then saved by a strange old man wearing a white lab coat and thick glasses. This small man sucks the spector up with his mysterious vacuum. Luigi and the man escape to a lab located just down the hill from Luigi's newly acquired mansion. The man explains to Luigi that his name is Professor Elvin Gadd and that he had gone to the mansion to study his favorite subject, ghosts. Luigi tells E. Gadd that Mario, his brother, has dissapeared somewhere within the mansion. Being the kind hearted man that Professor Elvin Gadd is he decides to help Luigi by giving him two unique inventions - the Poltergust 3000 and the Game Boy Horror. Later on the professor reveals a third invention - the Portrificationizer. With this machine Luigi can transform captured specters into paintings.
Now it's up to Luigi to kill up the ghosts that inhabit his mansion and save Mario.
