​In 2001, Nintendo surprised us with Luigi’s Mansion for the GameCube, where Luigi finally takes the spotlight. The story begins when Luigi receives a letter saying he has won a mansion in a contest he never entered. Curious and a bit scared, he decides to investigate, only to discover the mansion is haunted.

On his mission, Luigi meets the eccentric Professor E. Gadd, who gives him the Poltergust 3000, a modified vacuum cleaner to catch ghosts. Armed with his flashlight and the Poltergust, Luigi explores the mansion, solving puzzles and facing various ghosts to find his missing brother, Mario.

One of the biggest challenges is facing the Big Boo, a giant ghost that requires all of Luigi's skills to defeat. The final showdown with King Boo in the mansion's attic is epic, and after an intense battle, Luigi manages to save Mario.

Despite criticism for its short length, Luigi’s Mansion was a hit, praised for its gameplay, atmosphere, and music. It sold over 3.3 million copies and spawned sequels for the 3DS and Switch.

Luigi’s Mansion offered us a unique mix of humor and scares, marking Luigi's debut as a hero in his own adventure. Undoubtedly, a classic we will always remember fondly.​
