Gameplay
Gameplay is very similar to the previous Luigi's Mansion, with Luigi exploring mansions, solving puzzles and defeating ghosts now with the Poltergust 5000. This game is much more detailed in solving puzzles requiring Luigi to explore an area for awhile. Now in this game, each mansion is divided up into missions with the final mission always usually being a boss fight.
As for controls, the player can use the R button to vaccum. Luigi always have his flashlight on but stunning ghosts in this game is much more different. After Luigi has aquired the Strobulb, the player can press and hold A to use the Strobe Light flash which is now required to stun ghosts before vacumming. The player can use the L button to blow objects from the Poltergust 5000 when some are sucked up. Boos in this game require a much more special way to get captured and they are, at many times, very difficult and tricky to capture. After Luigi recieves the Dark-Light from E. Gadd, the player can hold Y to cast a rainbow-like ray that can materilize Spirit Balls revealing hidden doors. Boos will eventually come out and Luigi must use the Dark-Light to see them then suck up the Boos by their tongues. The player can also tilt the 3DS to look around in the room. Also, the player can press X to have Luigi look up and press B to have him look down.
