Each mansion is filled with different gimmicks and puzzle elements, and exploring them can be a spooky challenge.''
 
 
 
==Story==
 
In Evershade Valley, Professor E. Gadd is busy researching with his ghost assistants when King Boo shows up and destroys the Dark Moon, the artifact that keeps the ghosts peaceful. Once they start wreaking havoc, the professor escapes and contacts Luigi, bringing him to his bunker, the valley also being covered in fog. Since the pieces have scattered all over the valley, Luigi must now go to each of the mansions and obtain the pieces of the Dark Moon in order to return Evershade Valley to normal.
 
 
 
==Gameplay==
 
While the basic gameplay has been carried over into this game, various new elements have been added. Luigi must use his Poltergust 5000 to capture the ghosts that have gone wild, though now Luigi must charge the new Strobulb in order to stun them. While the method to capture the ghosts is mostly the same, the player must press the A button after tugging on them enough to pull them in, and Luigi can now press B to dodge oncoming attacks. Normally, the B button is used for running, and the X button is used to look up. At the beginning of the game Luigi receives the Dual Scream, a device that acts as the HUD during missions and allows E. Gadd to communicated with Luigi. The health system remains the same, though now Luigi can obtain continues in the form of gold dog bones, which cause a Polterpup to revive Luigi if he loses all of his health.
 
 
 
''Dark Moon'' has Luigi traveling through five mansions, with a mission-based progression system. Each time the player clears a mission in a mansion, the next mission opens up. Each mansion also contains a Boo, which when captured unlocks a bonus mission. At the end of every mission, Luigi is graded based upon the number of ghosts captured, and the amount of gold collected.
 
 
 
In addition to the main game, from the bunker HUD players can access E. Gadd's vault to view their stats and ghosts collected as well as upgrade the Poltergust. Players are also able to access ScareScraper, the game's multiplayer mode in which up to four players must clear a certain number of floors by catching progressively more difficult ghosts.
