  • Hello everyone! It's been a while since my last iceberg video (Super Mario Sunshine), so I thought I'd give it another go with a really well put together Luigi's Mansion one that I found on IcebergCharts. The list contains 219 entries on 6 different levels, so I think it's enough information to be crammed into a game like Luigi's Mansion. Regardless of that though, I hope you guys enjoy it.
    About Luigi's Mansion:
    Luigi's Mansion is a 2001 action-adventure game developed and published by Nintendo. The game was a launch title for the GameCube and was the first game in the Mario franchise to be released for the console; it was released in Japan on September 14, 2001, in North America on November 18, 2001, in Europe on May 3, 2002, and in Australia on May 17, 2002. It is the second video game in which Luigi is the main character instead of Mario, after Mario Is Missing!. Players control him as he explores a haunted mansion, searches for Mario and deals with ghosts by capturing them through a vacuum cleaner supplied by Professor E. Gadd. (via. Wikipedia)

    Errors:
    The Hidden Mansion IS in all regions, it’s just that the PAL one is much better. All America got were ghosts with more health and a stronger Poltergust. PAL on the other hand got a lot more changes that I won’t get into
    E.Gadd says at the end that all Luigi’s hard work lasted only one night
    Luigi’s Mansion 64 could refer to the ROM hack, or that Luigi’s Mansion started on the 64DD in 1999, but that didn’t last long
    SM64 audio sample refers to how when you collect one of Mario’s items, the star collect sound from Mario 64 plays
    I have no clue about the crows but I think it might be how they appear in the one cutscene and never again
    Not an error, but the biography of Sue Pea is really depressing
    My guess for the 3DS Box Art is that they updated the Luigi model, but not the ghosts model
    There was an unused multiplayer mode that was recently found. Maybe that’s where bMario was going to be used
    The first person view from the GBH can be seen in the same magazine the Safari Ghost rumor came from. It’s either on the same page or the one next to it
    Luigi’s shoelaces never appear in any game again
    There’s no official answer to how Mario was captured, but a video by ZoomZike used evidence from the game to try and figure it out
    I’m pretty sure the reason the larger gallery exists is because they were testing room scales. Even if the room itself is longer, the collision is the same as the final
    Area 4 darkness refers to how the hallway in Area 4 can never be lit up
    Why would King Boo plant more of Mario’s items that would help Luigi? He probably did bring spares
    Something about Bogmires origins, and I don’t remember where I heard this, but I remember hearing that Bogmire is a creation made up of fear, more specifically, the fear of others
    Real Money refers to how usually we see only Coins in the Mario universe, but this is one of the only times we see stuff like dollar bills and gemstones for currency
    I have no clue what Fire Tornado is
    Living Spooky refers to how in one of the rooms (Lydias, I think?), there’s a framed picture of Spooky when he was alive. I don’t blame you for getting this wrong, because the source didn’t include it
    Beta64 said it took 6 months to program the dust, so either you’re wrong or he is. I’m leaning towards Beta64 being wrong, because it’s hard to argue against game files
    I would bring up other things like Elemental Blast and how I did actually hear something in the Toad theme right before the song looped, but other commenters pointed those out. Overall, this was a great iceberg. my compliments go to you 👍

      Thanks! I appreciate hearing feedback from people, it means more to me than people think. Unrelated to this video in specific but I’ve thought about making addendum videos with full corrections or added context, as my older vids get a lot wrong at times, and I’ve since gotten better at researching and what not. There’s only a couple of things in the iceberg vids that actually embarrass me that I got wrong, but it is what it is as nobody is perfect

      Added correction, Real money, I’m pretty sure refers to the fact that the money found in the fake mansion is real, which is why Luigi builds a new one in its place depending on how much money he finds. This is what I always heard about this point at least.

    1:06:34 Wait, how is it an obscure theory that King Boo is the one who sent the letter telling Luigi he won the mansion?
    He pretty much confirms this in his final speech.
    King Boo: "...Seriously, though, who would actually believe that mansions get given away in contests?! Talk about stupid! What do they feed you Mario brothers anyway... gullible soup?"
    Why would he say this if the letter was actually real?

    I believe that unused "poisoned" animation is actually a choking animation. You know, for when the grabbing ghosts grab you. They probably thought it looked a little too violent, so they made a new version that looks more like Luigi is struggling to get the ghosts off of him, rather than him actually having his windpipe throttled.
    This would also make sense because some of the grabbing ghosts don't even do damage to you when they grab you, they only hinder your attacks, so it would make sense to have a more tame animation for that.

    In my opinion, the crows are a symbol that Luigi's entering the range of the mansion's illusion. Since they don't reappear anywhere plus the fact that they're live animals compared to the ghost rats and bats seen in the mansion, the crows signify to the player narratively that you've crossed the line into the supernatural.

    Great Video!
    1:08:03 For the “fire tornado” entry, my guess is that this entry is talking about a visual flair that appears during the King Boo/Bowser fight. If you pay attention to the background scenery during the fight, you can sometimes see a fiery vortex move about. While this can happen multiple times throughout the fight, the vortex is pretty brief and can be easy to miss. That’s my guess for that entry.

    My theory for why Bowser Jr. got the magic paintbrush is that he already had the bandana that turned him into Shadow Mario, so E. Gadd thought he was Mario.
    Or Bowser Jr. only thinks Gadd "gave" him the brush because he likes to think of himself as the good guy and in reality he never got permission to take it.
    Or he's just straight up lying. Wouldn't surprise me.
    Or maybe E. Gadd simply didn't think Bowser Jr. would be a bad guy, since they didn't know each other, and maybe Jr. pretended to be nice, and so Gadd thought he could trust the young fella.

    The thing about Gadd is, he's not evil. He's just not nessicarily good either. He only cares about his inventions and experiments. He sees everything Luigi does as purely a test of his inventions, which is reflected in some of the things you'll hear him say after missions in other luigi's mansion games. He's always really quick to shower his inventions with praise while disregarding those around him. Here's a couple examples:
    After the Bogmire fight: "Even if that lightning had cooked your goose, the Poltergust 3000 would be perfectly fine!"
    LM3, when first rescued: "You want to save your friends, you say?" *Throws head back dramatically and groans*
    LM2, after the mission Double Trouble: "I really haven't been paying attention to what's been going on up there... I thought a ghost had somehow snuck through with Toad, so I socked him in the nose! He'll heal up eventually."
    He's also constantly talking about forgetting his toad assistants. He has no problems throwing Luigi into dangerous situations, but he also never really leaves Luigi with no options. In fact, the entire Dark Moon game was started by Gadd literally abducting Luigi against his will. True, it ended up being a good idea to do, since Mario was captured, but there's more! In the security pictures that the toads give you throughout the game, he sees Mario's hat in the painting and doesn't recognize him until most of the painting is visible in the last image. This shows how little he pays attention to other people.
    Him giving the brush to Bowser Jr was just another of his experiments. He got to test both the brush and the FLUDD at the same time while not having to put in an ounce of work himself. He does the same with the Poltergust, Dark Light Device, Stryobulb, Gooigi, and even his E-Gates with Luigi throughout the course of the three games.
    I think Gadd is merely a psychopath, incapable of feeling emotions or real connections to people. Not an evil one, just one that only finds meaning in life through his inventions.

    Replying to the question at Minute 51:32
    Personally i don't feel like Egadd orchestrated the whole plot of Luigi's Mansion by reviving King Boo (Tho Sunshine is entirely his fault). In the game it is said that the mansion is basically King Boo's plan to take revenge on both Mario, Luigi and Egadd all combined, Mario & Luigi most likely becouse of the multiple instances of Mario defeating him (It's not confirmed but i believe he's the Big Boo we fight on both SMW and Mario 64 since King Bob Omb is just referred as Big Bob Omb on the same game) and Egadd becouse he captured Boolossus just days prior.
    Egadd still is a neutral character tho, still felt like clarifying this point, good video still!

      @nan0smm646 2 месяца назад +6

    Great video, as a massive Luigi's Mansion GCN enthusiast, it was great learning some things I actually didn't know somehow.
    I also gotta say, the audio cues were a very nice touch. The way you would segue showcasing a song into it being the bgm track, or subtly changing the bgm after showing a song or sound was a great change of pace and probably one of the most unique qualities i've seen in an iceberg video, since most of them just tend to stick with one bgm per layer. Fantastic editing choice.

    I remember seeing the beta Luigi's Mansion game over screen and being so terrified of it that I tried to play it, but ended up just staring at the console menu for about an hour because I was so scared that it was still in the game
    Also, I'm pretty sure I know why the Sitting Room is so unsettling. The room is designed more like an actual room in a house rather than a game level, and that makes it strangely nostalgic, especially with the flower wallpaper and couches being something you would find in, say, a grandparent's house. This nostalgia is warped by the overall creepy nature of the game, the graphics that remind you it isn't real, and the ghosts in the room.

      The Sitting Room has no 'aura' at all to me. I don't get it, at all. It's a bit out of place because of how colorful it is, but that's not creepy. I could probably think of 15 rooms that are more unsettling than the sitting room. It's one of the most average rooms in the game, aside from the Anteroom.

    39:14 Something interesting is that both houses are missing the stone fence but comparing the two, the Mario Kart (Rank A) is more closer to it's buding desing then Dark Moon (Rank D) yet the Dark Moon (Rank D) is built on the ground simular to the original, unlike Mario Kart (Rank A)...
    Another possibility is that Luigi had enough for both the Rank A manison & the Rank D house (considering the Rank A different location).
    or another way to explain both mansion existing would be the Hidden Mansion.
    42:20 Hold it for amoment, it was discovered in the code that multiplayer was actually being worked on in the original game (While it does cause some issues, it is still somewhat work)
    50:30 has also happened in Mario Party & even Luigi Mansion 3 with him selling known haunted stuff

I'm glad to see that there's not that many things that were not inaccurate, but regardless of that I'm going to have a pinned comment with constantly updated context, like how you mentioned in your discord that the chandelier only drops before defeating Chauncey. I definitely should've known that. Glad you enjoyed the video though :D

    1:10:23 When you think about it, it's not totally unfounded that Luigi could see lightning from every room in the mansion, assuming the whole building is an illusion. However, given the history of stuff in the mansion, namely the portrait ghosts, it's hard to know for sure whether the mansion truly is an illusion. E. Gadd doesn't really seem like the most trustworthy guy, and if I remember correctly it's only him that claims the mansion is an illusion.
    Regardless, it's interesting to think about, although it's probably just an oversight by the devs.

    • @nonnoumby
      @nonnoumby Месяц назад

      IIRC before they turn Mario back EGadd mentions that the mansion disappeared after King Boo was captured, and that's why they used the money to build an actual mansion for Luigi, confirming it was an illusion all along.

    While I don't doubt the Crows were just included in the intro to add to the spooky ambience, if you are looking for a more significant symbolic meaning to them, there is some substance to look a bit deeper into.
    Crows are often used as a symbol of death, as they are scavengers who eat dead animals. Their presence could be seen as foreshadowing of the fact that the mansion is filled with the ghosts of dead people, or that Luigi is following the map to what is supposed to be his death.
    Crows are also infamous for stealing shiny objects. That could also mean their presence foreshadows the vast amounts of gold and coins within the mansion.
    Lastly, crows are incredibly intelligent birds. Perhaps the crows already know what's going to happen?

    • @jstr6522
      @jstr6522 19 дней назад

How can SML1 & 2 be set way after Bowser is dead when characters like Daisy and Wario appear in games which have Bowser clearly alive? Wario is even in the DS remake of 64 which i'm pretty sure that game would take place way after SML2 after Wario went through character development.

    Fantastic video, I was hoping for today to be a productive day with sitting down to get some homework done, but as soon as I saw my Iceberg in a video I knew I had to sit down and watch it immediately
    Never thought something I worked on in between my High School classes would be turned into an hour-long video. When I finished this Iceberg in 2022, I had actually started writing a script for a video explaining it, but I never finished it with finishing High School and now starting College. But now I can put that idea to rest seeing as someone made it. Still in awe
    Though that being said, I really didn't think someone was gonna make a video explaining it, I've been meaning to go back and add a few things that I had learned, but more importantly, make it more professional by adding more explanation to the entries and deleting a few.
    I'm a Luigi's Mansion 1 superfan and there were many iceberg charts of it but none of them had a full list of most of the game's knowledge. All had scatter shots of info when I was like "What about this?"
    Not only that but I wanted to add a few entries that I had seen nowhere or no one was talking about.
    I would have loved to help you with this video, and explain a few things/had my input
    A few times I was like "No no, you had it right the first time" or "Yep you got it, even though I didn't provide an explanation on site. (Which I'd been meaning to do lol)
    My Twitter and Instagram are both also Maddosshmillmore. I'd love to talk about this experience and explain entries that may got misunderstood.

    I never found the controls of the 3DS remake to be bad. On the contrary, the fact that you can hold a button to switch between sidestep mode and standard mode adds a ton of flexibility in the movement. Plus, there are gyro controls that let you easily aim up and down, which is very useful. The only downside is the lack of analog triggers, meaning you can only shoot your elemental attacks at a consistent rate.

    Great video, I would like to add another entry to the Iceberg since zi always found it funny:
    In the Italian boxart, one of the selling points talks about the ghost Ciro (a common italian name), but in the game there is no ghost named Ciro. It is believed that it was a early name for Ombretta (Bogmire's italian name and means Small Shadow) since Bogmire is the ghost shown in the screenshot with that caption.
    And I also don't think this mistake was ever fixed even in subsequent reprints of the game, like the Player's Choice edition

    I have a theory about the mansion being burned down. The background of the King Boo fight shows the mansion when it was burning down. The graveyard is where the people living there were buried, and it’s next to the mansion because they valued it so much that they never wanted to leave, not even when they were dead. It’s also why the mansion isn’t real, it’s been burned, and the version we see in-game was a twisted recreation made by the ghosts.

    As someone with a few of the luigi's mansion sets; they're pretty neat! the start element for 'em (functions like the start-a-course warp pipe) will make the luigi's mansion theme play rather than the regular overworld music from the original SMB., plus you can use it (or the pipe) together in a course to give yourself more time (every extra starting element with a unique code tile will add another 30 seconds or so to the course timer when scanned) to complete your course. As for the poltergust it's also a little fun, the "button" on the front of it to make it suck will press down on an extra pin on the figure (they have 6 pins that the different "suits" press down on; this is how they know what powerups are which ones) and it's the only way (besides a power star/starman/whatever you wanna call it, the twinkly little thing that makes you invincible, we all know what I mean) to defeat ghost-type enemies (including boos! besides the old king boo. not sure about the new king boo with the actual accurate design, i don't have that one. yet.)

    The CreepyPasta about the King Boo and Bowser theory was always the reason why I believed it and excluding the Mario 64 and Paper Mario bits, in Luigi's Mansion, it pretty much makes sense. When talking to Madam Clairvoya, I think about the star, Clairvoya says she sees a "hideous" form of Bowser and of course the final boss battle where King Boo is basically using Bowser's corpse. Discounting the spin-off version the only time we see King Boo (gem crown) Bowser is never seen in the same place, it's only the gemless King Boo.

    @maestro9765 16 дней назад

    Great video! But I have noticed a couple of minor mistakes that I wanted to point out from my own research:
    11:51 That image of Luigi entering the mansion is ripped straight from the E3 trailer, but with a grainy filter and hue change
    13:37 This happens both when the room is dark and lit, the clip shows the chandelier falling with lights on
    20:50 The Hidden Mansion mechanic is present in all versions of the game, but only in the PAL is it mirrored as well as feature the Poltergust riding mechanic during Boolossus fight. Also, in the PAL, you can only earn rank A in the Hidden mansion. The regular mode simply doesn't contain enough treasure for rank A to be possible.
    25:23 The idea that Luigi's mansion lasts one night is also referenced by E Gadd at the end of the game, he says something along the lines of "and you managed to do did it in one night!"
    39:43 It was without any doubt a test poster, the file name is literally "test".
    45:43 It was from a screenshot from Nintendo power. The same issue that featured the claim about the safari hunter ghost.
    52:42 This actually refers to that you never see Area 4 with lights on. Because it's the last area, so once you clear it you beat the game and never see it again, hence you only ever see Area 4 in darkness, unlike the previous 3.
