How Luigi’s Mansion’s Greatest Mystery Was Solved 18 Years Later
Hidden Multiplayer Breakdown & Gameplay ► • 2 Player Mode in Luigi...
The Luigi's Mansion Discord ► / discord
Luigi's Mansion 3 is right around the corner! But before partnering up with Gooigi to take on the hotel, there's something important we need to talk about: The time we all thought Mario was unlockable in Luigi's Mansion, and how 18 years later, we finally have the one clue we needed to put the mystery to rest. Beta Mario was truly the precursor to Gooigi... And what was found recently would have rocked our childhood. It's no longer just a Mario theory anymore...

I would have liked a Mario Mode that got progressively harder and the ending was Mario discovering Big Boo and getting trapped.
Yea it would be very cool and it was unlocked after beating the game and if beat Mario Mode you unlock Mário and is able to play multiplayer and play as Mario
@@mariofanflip1137 I mean come on Nintendo can’t even let Luigi have his own game dang
It would be cool if the title screen was "Mario's Mansion" and the game starts with Mario running to the Mansion during sunset. He runs around and of course gets trapped. The Camera zooms out from the Mansion and lighting occurs with the distant shouts from Mario. The title appears the same then a flash of lightning hits "Luigi's mansion" Is seen instead. The epilogue ends The screen goes black and the words Five hours later appear and the game starts with Luigi walking to the mansion.

the times Luigi saves mario Luigi mansion 1 2 and 3 and Mario is missing
This is why I've been obsessed with this game since childhood. Almost 20 years later and it's still so mysterious. Had no idea the PAL version's hidden mansion was flipped!!
“Mario is missing and we all know how that went” Mario got abducted
Wonder what happened when he was missing...
christian Rodgers King Boo made a robot Mario and made them lick eachother out. Mario now has PTSD
William See Wait Mario was abducted in Mario is missing he was also abducted in Luigi’s mansion So he has double ptsd
@@_radiance_ nah the PTSD cancels out. Basic math.

I can't be the only one who loves how dark Luigi's Mansion is. Not in forefront but more how they added humanoid ghosts who explicitly died. I just always thought that was super cool and really creepy, especially when I was younger.
This is what dark moon and 3 are lacking
@@javiersoto6523 I don't think they're bad games, just a different direction. 3 is adding portrait ghosts back and they look great.
@@javiersoto6523 from the looks of it, 3 will bring portrait ghosts back. Or at least that's what it seems from the few humanoid-type ghosts we've seen.
@@transorm987 I never said they're bad games, they just cant keep up with the first one. And yes thanks God 3 is bringing portrait ghosts back, but it follows more dark moon atmosphere instead of a dark and creepy atmosphere like the first one
Yes, most ghosts are caused by deaths.

I think that although the map of the game is very small, it is brilliant how much depth was still put into the game
Its almost Metroidvania-like
It's a bit like the concept of immersive sims, small in-game spaces by open world standards They're small, but dense with depth and detail. That explains it best IMO
This wasn’t Luigi’s mansion’s greatest mystery, the real mystery is why Luigi enjoys humping furniture

ngl bad joke
@@bitchhhoe I do, but i actually wanted to say it, since nobody did
@@frannielmartinez Oh, nevermind then
It’s weird that the US didn’t get a flipped map with heightened difficulty, I just assumed everyone had that
Anna Lolita Estelle Husband I actually didn’t know that that existed and I’ve been playing this game since I was a kid in US
Nathan Gurtcheff I’m definitely the opposite, we’ve always had the flipped mode on the uk - I certainly hope you get to experience it yourself sometime, it really is fun having that extra challenge!
was this included in the 3DS remake?, the PAL hidden mansion?
@@mr.vidjagamez9896 Yes, the 3DS remake has the PAL hidden mansion with some slight differences like no longer being flipped and not riding the poltergust during the Boolossus fight. It is still refreshingly challenging though if you're used to the regular mansion.

“Luigi is Missing” sequel we don’t need, nor do we want it.
Flyin' Steve righty’o
I would play only if your controlling the polterpup finding Luigi no one else
Yeah. The Yoshi's Island series already has that covered.
pretty much every Mario game ever xD
@Flyin' Steve *that and the original SMB64 and Super Mario Sunshine
*No matter what mansion Luigi buys, Mario always enters the mansion first.*
Luigis Manson was my favourite launch title for any console ever. Masterpiece.
This predated Super Luigi Galaxy by 6 years. Who would've known?
XD Ironically, I was playing super Luigi galaxy 2 earlier
Do you mean Super Mario Galaxy or am I missing a joke.
Texti You’re missung the joke
King D - Mind that would make sense.
@@Paramorem ya if you 100% the game with Mario you can replay the game as Luigi
I myself had a dream that Mario was playable in Luigi’s Mansion, only instead of sucking up ghosts, he could punch and kick them like in Super Mario 64.
That sounds like the best game to ever be created "mario hits ghosts only on nitendo gamcub"
tfw Mario is chad af but Luigi is a wimp
Or he could use FLUDD and spray the ghosts with water.
So long, eh, ghost!
Sounds like a good dream.

8:13 Actual start of the video.
thank you
Thanks, I have to look for a comment like this on every swankybox video
👌
It’s fake
Thanks
I always thought that Mario being playable or even a second player at all wasn't even thought of in the conception of the game. The marketing at least made me believe that they just wanted to make a game centering around Luigi to put him in the limelight. Nonetheless, very fascinating find.

This really brings a lot of things to light with consoles and their closed nature. If this was primarily a PC game, it would have been cracked wide open within days, and we could have had a working coop mod likely within a few weeks of release.

LM is a game you can come back to every year,and find 50 new things every time
I always play it in Halloween
Loved the video, definitely interesting to see some of the hidden thing in a game i hold dear to my heart
The cinematic shots you got of the mansion are incredible i could watch for hours
Didn't even realize there was such a lively Luigi's Mansion community. Here I thought you were the only one who truly cared about its hidden content the whole time. Love that this is playable with a mod now as such.
i bet if they had more time mario would be playable in the secret mansion
It took you 7minutes to say "we didn't know, we didn't have technology, we wanted to know, we stopped looking." Found myself very frustrated watching this. If the video had started 7m in, it would be an overall better watch. I felt like I basically learned nothing, and didn't want to finish the video. Idk how to be constructive about this, gl.
He basically stretched 3 mins into 10 mins......and i can feel that stretch
Welł he's giving a history of this mystery and how over time it progressed. If you're just looking for the solution, then yeah the rest of video is useless, but if you are like me and want more details then it's great.
@@PippyPipPip I enjoy history as well, this had very little to no substance. I can't recount details because I watched it almost a week ago now (i'm not re-watching it.) But my complaint was that it's very boring and felt like 7m could have been removed and the video would've improved.
Yeah this is my main complaint against this channel too. No matter how interesting or insignificant the topic of the video is it will always have multiple minutes of padding and filler scripted into it. It becomes very repetitive after a few videos, especially when a lot of it is just repeating the same sentiments over and over. A video about a few inaccessible coins can be interesting but it's not 9 minutes of interesting.
I like his voice so I honestly don't mind.
Nice, it's amazing to hear when people's determination led to uncovering the thing's game designers scrapped for future projects down the line! Good job, everyone that worked so hard, your hard work did not go to waste!

Great video, but constantly repeating the same sentence in different ways just to stretch out the run time is maddeningly obnoxious. Same reason the History channel became an unwatchable mess
Agreed.
Ikr he takes interesting topics and doesn't do them justice at all
Yes. The fact that he can't pronounce the sentence just takes the cake. Tag yourself I'm manschén
Why I hate a lot of KZheadrs.
@@unknownprofile7654 I miss when KZhead didnt pay people.
Everyone: we want a Luigi game!!!! Nintendo: ok ok calm down Everyone: YAY!!!! Nintendo a few months later: ok have this Everyone: how do I get Mario?
That's pretty cool that they considered multiplayer and split screen. And it's even better when you realize that they used these exact same mechanics for Gooigi (idk how to spell his name)
I love this kinds of things, discovering things in old games I mean. Remember how it took for people to finally figure out "The 10th enemy has the bomb."? That was discovered in (I think 2012) that's ~25 years, a quarter of a century, after the game was released.
One of the few things I've heard about unused content in Luigi's mansion is there's a PNG of daisy from the first mario tennis somewhere in the files The current theories say it was most likely a place holder and/or Luigi was originally going to save daisy instead of mario Which fits in nicely with marioB and the scrapped multiplayer
10:52 "unlike L is Real 2401, there was truth to this rumor" That line didn't age well.
These videos are educating me on things I never knew about my childhood games, thank you
And just in time for spooky month
yeah that is what i wanted Mario as a playable character
Then don't buy a game called (Luigi's) mansion if you want a Mario game simple my dude 😂
@@Beethoven2949 i wanted Mario as a playable character so i can call Luigi's Mansion "Mario's Mansion"
Carl Desrosiers Isabelle *Stupid*
This man is the greatest philosopher of our time
It’s amazing to see someone talk about the nostalgia of this game and the nostalgia of the L is real in a way that makes me remember my own childhood intrigue. The way I’d make up my own stories while playing through games, having favorite levels or rooms to explore and “hang out” in- I feel like we had very similar experiences with this game and other games like Mario 64. Thanks for an awesome video! I’m going to try to get my sister to play the 2 player mod with me next time she’s in town. Like you said, it’s like reclaiming a piece of childhood.
Huh didn't know the map was that small... It seemed so much bigger when I played it as a kid. It now reminds me of like a rated E Resident Evil and I love that about the game, I hope they keep that vibe in the upcoming one.
This video made me more excited for Luigi’s mansion 3!
Man, this is still a good looking game all these years later.
The mansion is small, however it is very compact. Technically 4 floors PACKED with stuff, and the boos really help with making each revisit feel fresh!
Very interesting. I found the video well done. Good job putting it together
everyone asks "where is mario?" but no one asks How is mario?
Blue the first JOE MAMMA
Mario’s doing well!
I'll do you one better. Why is Mario?

9:36 Huh, so E. Gadd is using the Poltergust as an actual vacuum
I have a theory; There was originally gonna be a flashback cutscene/realtime render of mario trying to catch the ghosts but king boo got him. Possibly during the fortune tellers info bites. They probably dropped them as it would be a lot of work for something that would ruin the reward of getting the first GC render on mario in the ending.
Why does he always say the last word of everyone of his sentences in a deeper tone? Anybody else notice that?
I didn't at first and now i can't stop hearing it
i love his videos but i cant stand his voice because of this
Damn you! I cant stop hearing it now.
Joseph Cruise it’s to create a tone or something I think. I’ve always kinda thought it was a bit strange.....
Probably cuts between audio, he probably records the sentences separately, not in one take
4:08 "It felt like something was missing." You mean... Mario is Missing?
I love the fact that if Mario was actually in the game no one would make a big deal about it but since he's not everyone freaks out and speculates. You only want what you can't have.
Cool, now I'm realizing this game is nearly 20 years old and I still think of it as not that long ago. Thanks a lot.
It has been 18 years? Oh my god I'm old

I wasn't born until 2004 so I don't have that much nostalgia.

Sir Kalilak actually?
Alternate plot: Peach's summer house needed ghost busters so she got Mario and Luigi on the job with the reward of Mario getting a kiss and Luigi getting one of his ghost busting service cards sent to Daisy
I run into these videos like all the time, and leaves me more curious about the topic
I'm glad someone solved this . Good video topic :)
They could have made a ton of bucks remastering this on the switch, and adding co-op
“Can I play as Mario” “can i play as Luigi? “Boi”
7:17 "Waaaah! WaaaaH! Mario, where are you? WAAAAH! Ahem, WHAT!?
For such a small game that I have beaten in a couple short hours 100% multiple times it’s amazing how deep the rabbit hole goes with all this game’s scrapped and hidden unused content
Repeating ang dragging on to reach that 10 minute mark GET ON WITH IT!
Interesting vid Swanky. Luigi’s mansion is the best game!
If the file exists on all regions that means Mario was probably used before luigi during development because he has no facial animations, which is something you would do after developing the gameplay mechanics. You would basically use a static rig and code the game around it until it comes time to polish by inserting additional animations. Multiplayer also supports this idea. Luigi's model is more refined like he was touched up during late development. It may also be possible that they used mario during the proof of concept stage when pitching the idea and then forgot to remove him, or like I said above.. developed the game primarily with his model only to replace it with a refined Luigi model..
First video game I ever played. I first started playing when I was 5 or six, I'm 20 now and although I've beaten it over 50 times, there's always some new mystery to discover.
0:12 why is there a yoshi egg at the entrence?
I'm pretty sure that's leftover footage from the video when they put Luigi's Mansion's map into Super Mario Galaxy 2 (I'll assume it's 2 [I can't remember lol] because I don't think Yoshi was in the first game).

10:36 What the heck is that Red Spikes things on Luigi's hat?
JMGO It’s Luigi’s hair standing up from Luigi’s scared animation. His model changed expression but his hat stayed on and he didn’t jump up. He probably behaved oddly because of the buggy nature of the multiplayer.

Super Mario 64: is Luigi here?? Luigi mansion: is Mario here??
Hey I was just playing the original like 5 minutes
Coincidences ? I don't think so!
@@clydepog8964 i think yes
Ago and i agree @Le Canard Blaze
Here's the thing about this mystery: Why would you ever want to play as the inferior brother, Mario?
mario and luigi are both superior in their own ways it just seems luigi is the inferior brother by looks
Exactly Dip Shit ( not an insult just saying your name
I think luigi's mansion origanal storyline was mario and luigi see king boo capture peach in a painting and take her to the mansion. They go inside without a second thought and meet egad. They then beat king boo and save peach, and everyone is happy, the end. I also think that Luigi's "Mario?" Call was meant as an in-game call to player 2, and mario had a call like "Luigi?" To call player 1.
I love that with SM64 for once the DS version of a game actually seemed to have more content (as opposed to the typical: far less content) than the main console version. Not only did it contain Yoshi plus M, L & W but also 8stars/course.
This reminds me of that Mario Galaxy 2 Splitscreem Mod that never got finished.
Mario 64: luigi was not playable Luigi's Mansion: Mario WAS playable Me: instant karma
Why when people discover things like this, it just amazes me so much? It’s just beautiful, the game we’ve been playing, it has a lot more than we think it does. So far this video has amazed me, like wow. Luigi’s mansion was being made for two players. I love these videos.
This is really surprising! A mystery I've never heard of before. Super cool!

What's with the massive preamble, I only came for the cut content. Now listening to: Swanky's hard on for Luigi's Mansion- take 20
I have no idea how or why but I had always vaguely remembered some ancient promotional footage of Luigi's Mansion showcasing multiplayer and Mario himself being playable too. Glad to see there's at least something that in the game's files that explain this super vague recollection that's been with me for several years now lmao
