Luigi’s Mansion 3 is the culmination of everything the series has been building toward. Developed by Next Level Games (who also created Dark Moon), this entry takes place in a haunted hotel with themed floors ranging from medieval castles to disco party halls.
Gooigi Changes Everything
The biggest addition is Gooigi, a gelatinous clone of Luigi who can slip through grates, walk on spikes, and solve puzzles Luigi cannot. You can switch between them instantly or have a friend control Gooigi in co-op. This transforms the gameplay into something far more puzzle-heavy than previous entries.
Visual Showcase
Luigi’s Mansion 3 is one of the most beautiful games on Switch. The lighting, animation quality, and environmental destruction are stunning. Luigi’s expressions are incredibly detailed, and the physics interactions (sucking up tablecloths, curtains, and piles of gold) are endlessly satisfying.
Themed Floors
Each floor of the Last Resort hotel has its own unique theme and boss. From a pirate ship to a movie studio to an Egyptian tomb, the variety is exceptional. Every floor feels like its own self-contained adventure with unique puzzles and mechanics.
The multiplayer modes (ScareScraper and ScreamPark) add significant replay value, making this the most complete package the series has ever seen.
