excited about winning he calls his brother Mario and asks him to meet him at the
mansion.  When Luigi gets to the mansion, arriving late, he finds that Mario is
gone and the mansion is haunted.

studies ghost.  He provides Luigi with the materials he needs to defeat the
ghosts inside the mansion.

    Go into the room behind the Parlor (the room you were in for objectives 2
and 3).  You'll be in the Anteroom.  There are a lot of ghosts in this room.
Defeat all of them and the room will light up.

        Objective #5: Defeat all the ghosts in the Wardrobe Room.
    Now go out the door on the left side of the Anteroom.  You'll be in the
Wardrobe Room.  Defeat all the ghosts in this room.  Open the wardrobe on the

    Now go back to the first room of the mansion.  Try going through the door up
the staircase that's on the left.  The Professor will call you.  He tells you
about ghosts you'll find ahead.  Go through the door and into the hallway.

        Objective #8: Get the key to the Master Bedroom.
    In the hallway, go through the first door on the top of the screen into the
Study.  In here is a portrait ghost.  These are special ghosts.  To get the
ghost to show his heart,  go vacuum the fire, making sure your back is turned to
the chair.  When the ghost yawns, turn and shine the flashlight on the ghost.
Begin vacuuming the ghost immediately.  Once it is defeated, you will get a key.

        Objective #9: Get the key to the Nursery.
    Now go back into the hallway and into the door on the top wall in the far

go through the first door on the bottom of the hall that you see.  In this room,
vacuum the rocking horse.  Then, vacuum each of the bears that the baby uses to
attack you.  Now vacuum up the ball in the room and shoot it at the baby by
releasing the R button.  Now the baby shrinks you.  Avoid the rocking horses.
Once the balls come, vacuum them and see which one you can grab.  Shoot a ball
at the baby to reveal it's heart.  Begin attacking it.  Once you kill it, open
the chest in the room to get the pink key.

        Objective #11: Turn the ghosts into portraits.

        Objective #3: Find the key to the Storage Room.
    Now go out of the Bathroom.  Go down, then right, then down.  Go through the
door on the right into the Ball Room.  In the ball room are three couples of
ghosts dancing.  Vacuum the ghosts.  When their mask flies off, shine light on
them and they will show their hearts.  Eliminate all six ghosts and a portrait
ghost will appear.  Wait around and these ghosts will show their hearts.  Vacuum

        Objective #4: Push the button in the Storage Room.

the Fortune-teller's Room.  Light the candles in the corner of the room and then
vacuum down the key from the top of the room.

        Objective #10:  Get the key to the Conservatory.
    Walking around in the hallway is a floating candle.  Light the candle.  Now
go left from where the Fortune-teller's Room is and go into the door.  Go down
into the next room.  When the ghost of the butler sits down, shine a light on
him and he will show his heart.  Vacuum him up and you'll get the key to the
Conservatory.

        Objective #11: Get the key to the Dining Room.
    Go to the upper hallway in area 2.  Go through the upper door on the left
side.  In this room, press A near each instrument to play it.  Once you are

(The correct answer is "water.")  Vacuum the sheet music she throws at you, then
vacuum her up and you'll get a key.

        Objective #12; Get through the Dining Room.
    Across the hall from the Ball Room is the Dining Room.  In it, absorb a fire
elemental in one of the corners.  Light the candles on the table.  Kill the two
butlers by using your flashlight then vacuum when they appear.  Then vacuum up
the food.  (I think I vacuumed it up, I might have just waited for the ghost to
eat it.)  Wait for the ghost to stop throwing fire, then vacuum it up.

        Objective #13; Find the Water Elemental Medal.
    Go beyond the Dining Room to the left into the Kitchen.  Make sure you have
a fire elemental in your vacuum.  First vacuum up all the pots and pans that fly

the fire in front of the door on the left.  Go through the door.  Now walk
around until the ghost of the dog starts chasing you.  Examine the doghouse with
A and a ghost skeleton will appear.  Defeat the ghost skeleton with your
flashlight and vacuum.  Then wait for the dog to begin chewing on the bone.
Shine the flashlight on the dog and vacuum the dog up.  Now examine the dog's
doghouse with the Game Boy Horror.  You will go into the doghouse and come out
in the graveyard.

        Objective #15: Get the green key.
    Now examine the graves.  Defeat the ghosts that come out.  Examine the grave
that lights up, and you will go into a boss battle.  Vacuum up the black ghosts
and shoot them at the purple ghost.  Vacuum the purple ghost after it's shot.
Repeat until you defeat the purple ghost and get the green key.

        Objective #1: Find Mario.
    Go to the hallway on the lower floor and go to the door with the weird wire
stuff over it near the Bathroom.  It will disappear now that you have the green
key and you can go through the door into the Courtyard.  Go to the right and go
down the well that you find.  Go to the right and you will be able to see Mario,
trapped in a portrait.

        Objective #2: Get the key to the Rec Room.

    Go to the far right side of the courtyard.  Go through the door back into
the mansion.  In the Rec Room that you are now in, you'll see a ghost lifting

    Go out of the Rec Room from the door on the lower side (bird's eye view) of
the room.  Go right and up the stairs.  Use a water element to get rid of the

on the symbol to go down to the table and get the Ice Element Medal.

        Objective #5: Get the key to the Billiards Room.
    Now grab an ice element from the bowl of ice on the table in the room where
you got the Ice Element Medal.  Go out of the room and to the left through the
door until you come to a wall.  Go up and through the second door on the left
and into the Bathroom.  Use the vacuum on the shower curtain and shoot an ice
element into the bathtub.  The ghost will show it's heart, and you can vacuum it
up for a key.

        Objective #6: Get the key to The Twins's Room.
    Across from the Bathroom is Nana's Room.  Go into it and press A at the
table with the basket of yarn on it.  The yarn balls will fall to the floor and
roll around.  Vacuum them up and shoot it at Nana, the ghost in the room.  As
long as you hit her with all three balls (if you miss you'll have to leave the
room then reenter), she will show her heart.  Vacuum her up for the key to The
Twins's Room.

        Objective #7: Get to the Observatory.
    From the left side of the hall (with Nana's Room and the Bathroom), go right
until you see a fork off the hallway going down.  Go down and through the first
door on your right.  Use a fire element to light all the candles.  Stand in the
middle of the star in the middle of the floor.  Once you can, go to the right
into the Observatory.

        Objective #8: Get Mario's Star.
    In the Observatory, look through the telescope.  Once you stop looking
through, you will find that the room has changed.  Go down and to the right.
Vacuum up the falling meteors and shoot one at the planet in the background.
Once you hit, you'll open up a path that leads to Mario's Star, one of the
belongings of his that you will need.

        Objective #9: Get Mario's Letter.
    Now go back down to the first floor and through the Rec Room out into the
Courtyard.  Here, check the mailbox that is in between the well and Toad's
hideout area.  You will find Mario's Letter inside.

        Objective #10: Get through the Billiards Room.
    Now go into the mansion through the door on the left side of the courtyard.
Go down in the hall and through the first door on the bottom of the screen going
right.  In this room, vacuum up the billiard balls once the ghost hits them.
Shoot the balls at the ghost.  Three will make the ghost show his heart.  Vacuum
up the ghost.

        Objective #11: Get Mario's Glove.
    Now go right from the Billiards Room.  Turn on the projector in the lower
middle area of the screen.  Go in front of the projector and watch the shadows
of ghosts on the wall.  Shine a light on the invisible ghost (using the shadow
to tell where it is) and defeat all the ghosts in the room.  You'll get Mario's
Glove.

        Objective #12: Get Mario's Hat.
    Now go to the lower of the two horizontal hallways in the first floor.  Go
to the left and into the Laundry Room.  Inspect the washing machines and you
will find Mario's Hat.

        Objective #13: Get Mario's Shoe.
    Now go to the main entrance area of the mansion.  Go up the stairs and to
the left.  Go down through the first door on the bottom you see.  In this room,
climb on top of the bunk bed and vacuum the device on the cealing.  It will
start spinning around.  Hold the C joystick left and watch Luigi spin.  As long
as you keep vacuuming, the device will spin.  After a while, get down from the
bunk bed and see if the twins appear.  If they don't, go back up onto the bunk
bed and spin the device some more.  If the twins do appear, they'll ask you to
play hide and seek with them.  Leave the room and reenter.  Guess some boxes to
see if they are in.  If you guess wrong, leave the room and come back in and try
again.  If you guess correctly, you'll fight the twins.  Vacuum up the devices
they are riding.  Then you'll be able to vacuum them up.  Once both are
vacuumed,
you'll get Mario's Shoe.

        Objective #14: Get the key to the Safari Room.
    Now go back to the main entrance area and through the door on the lower part
of the floor.  Go to the right and through the door on the bottom and into the
Fortune-teller's Room.  Examine the crystal ball with the Game Boy Horror and
then press A on it.  A ghost will appear and begin analyzing Mario's items.
Keep pressing A by the crystal ball until all five of Mario's items are
analyzed.
Once the fortune teller is done, she will reveal her heart.  Vacuum her up and
you'll get the key to the Safari Room.

        Objective #15: Get the key to the Balcony.
    Now go through the courtyard and Rec Room and up the stairs.  Go to the left
until you see a passage at the bottom of the hallway.  Go down and then to the
right.  Go up the stairs and open the lower door.  Vacuum the moose heads on the
middle of the back wall to reveal ghosts.  Defeat all of them and you will get
the key to the Balcony.

        Objective #16: Get the blue key.
    Now go to the left from the Safari Room, the room you should be in.  Go up
through the hallway to the door at the end of the hallway.  Go through the door
and onto the Balcony.  Go to the left and you will find a circle of Boos.  They
will talk and then attack you.  Lure the Big Boo to the statues.  Get it to poke
itself on the horn.  While doing this, you should absorb an ice element.  Once
the Big Boo hits the horn, it will pop.  Freeze the smaller Boos and vacuum them
up.  Keep popping the Big Boo and freezing and vacuuming smaller Boos until
there is one Boo left.  This Boo won't turn back into the Big Boo; you just have
to freeze it and vacuum it up!  You will get 15 Boos and the blue key for
defeating this boss.

        Objective #17: Turn the ghosts into portraits.
    Now the Professor will call you back to the lab.  You will turn all the
ghosts in your vacuum back into portraits.

valve.  Now go to the right and get the key to Cold Storage from where the
waterfall used to be falling.

        Objective #9: Get the key to The Artist's Studio.
    Now go out to the hallway and through the lower left door.  In this room,
grab a fire element and light the two fires in the upper left corner of the
room.
Melt the person frozen in ice by using a fire element to be able to vacuum him.
Vacuum him up for the key to The Artist's Studio.

        Objective #10: Get the key to the Secret Altar.
    Now go up to the Safari Room (before the Balcony).  Go into the next hall
and through the upper right door.  Defeat the trios of ghosts that come out of
the pictures, then vacuum up the ghost to get a key.

        Objective #11: Defeat King Boo.
     Go down to the basement into the hallway.  Go through the door at the end
of the hallway and through the door beyond that area.  You will enter the Secret
Alter.  Walk up to King Boo.  After some dialogue, you will fight Bowser.  When
Bowser rolls spike balls, vacuum one up by getting close to it.  Shoot it at
Bowser as he is getting ready to use his fire or wind attack.  If it hits,
Bowser's head will fly off, revealing King Boo, who is controlling the Bowser
figure.  Vacuum up King Boo while dodging the ice Bowser breathes at you.  Once
King Boo goes back into Bowser, repeat the process.  A while into the combat,
Bowser will put his head on backwards and stampede around for a while before he
turns his head the right way and proceeds with his normal attacks.  Once you
defeat King Boo, you will complete the game.  Congradulations.

the Guest Room.  In the sitting room, light the candles by the portraits and
defeat the ghost.  In the Guest Room, use a water element on the bed and the

-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~

    This section lists where you can find each of Mario's Possessions.  You need
to collect Mario's Possessions when you are in Area 3.  To view which of Mario's
items you have, press Z.

        Mario's Glove
    Go to the Billiards Room on the lower wall of the upper horizontal hallway
on the first floor.  (You'll need to get the key to this room by going to the
Bathroom and defeating the ghost on the third floor.  Look at the Portrait
Ghosts or Walkthrough sections for this information.)  Go to the right from the
Billiards Room by vacuuming the pool balls and shooting them at the billard-
playing ghost after he shoots the balls over the room.  Once you vacuum up the
ghost, go right to the Projection Room.  Turn on the projector and shine a light
on the shadows of the ghosts you'll see.  Use the shadows to determine where the
ghosts are.  Vacuum up the ghosts for Mario's Glove.

        Mario's Hat
    This item is found in the Laundry Room in Area 2.  Go to the left of the
lower hallway to access the room.  Mario's Hat can be found by checking the
washing machines.

        Mario's Letter
    Between the well and Toad's hideout in the courtyard is a mailbox.  Check
the mailbox to find Mario's Letter

        Mario's Shoe
    This item can be found in The Twins's Room.  (To get the key to The Twins's
Room, you must visit Nana's Room on the left side of the upper hallway on the
third floor of the mansion.)  The Twins's Room is up the stairs from the main
entrance and to the left.  It's the first door on the bottom of the hall.  Get
on top of the bunk bed and vacuum the device on the cealing.  While vacuuming,
hold the C stick left or right.  As Luigi circles, he should be making the
device spin.  Go down from the bed after a while.  If the ghosts of the twins
don't appear, go back up and spin the device some more.  If they do, leave the
room and come back in.  Find the twins in the boxes.  If you don't guess
correctly, try again.  Once you find both of the twins, they will attack you.
Vacuum up the machines they are riding to reveal the hearts of the twins.
Vacuum up the twins to get Mario's Shoe.

        Mario's Star
    This item is found in the Observatory beyond the Astral Hall on the third
floor.  The Astral Hall is off of the hall connectiong the upper and lower
horizontal hallways.  Look through the telescope then go to the lower right
corner.  Vacuum the shooting stars and shoot one at the planet in the
background.
Follow the path you've created to Mario's Star.
