#luigi's new mansion

Boo Woods' Location

So many people question where exactly is Boo Woods and Luigi's Mansion located at. People often look to the trees, dark cloud skies, and overall feel and assume it's located in the Koopa Kingdom/Bowser Badlands. But they overlook a key detail.

As established in a previous post, this Mansion from Luigi's Mansion was a created by the Boos, and after they were gone so too was the Mansion. Something to note is that upon the Boos being dealt with, Boo Woods' appearance changed with the dead trees disappearing and the skies clearing up.

When we see Luigi's new mansion in Luigi's Mansion 2 Dark Moon, it has a normal night sky with living trees and grassy surroundings. By extension if my fourth hypothesis about Luigi's new mansion is correct, then the one from Luigi's Circuit can also be used. We see in this one there are red mushrooms growing everywhere alongside living trees, and lots of grass. We also see a river, keep that in mind. Meanwhile places like the Koopa Kingdom rarely has grassy fields, living trees, clear skies, and the few mushrooms it has usually are not red.

So where exactly is Boos Woods, or was Boo Woods? I believe it's in the Mushroom Kingdom, particularly somewhere in the Grasslands. We know Luigi walks there using a map, which would imply he probably walked there from home rather than traveled. We also see the surrounding areas have clear skies and a grassy surrounding. And like I said if my hypothesis is correct then the addition of the whole place being grassy, with hills, trees, and red mushrooms growing everywhere. Then this more than likely takes place in the Grasslands. As what's noteworthy is both the map and Luigi's Circuit have a river present.

If we get our Luigi's Mansion movie, I'm very interested in seeing how King Boo's abilities would translate into a film format.

Bowser's abilities are pretty straightforward: strong, sturdy, has claws, breathes fire. Simple stuff. But King Boo? With that gem in his crown, his powers are kind of nebulous if not extremely OP:

Hyperrealistic Illusions

Telekinesis

Magical portrification

Materializing objects

Disappearing existing objects

Altering environmental physics

Self-duplication

Portal magic

Lightning

Altering the morality of surrounding ghosts(?)

I wonder if a movie would lay down some ground rules about the extent of what King Boo can do, or do something else to nerf him in one way or another.

He's-a Gone

Luigi time! To suffer, that is.

(CW: character death)

This is obviously a sort of comlementary piece to I Was-a Too Late. But it's more than just that as it also illustrates a certain fun, dark what-if idea I had. Please keep reading if you're intrigued!

Lore:

Luigi's Mansion, the first game. Everything goes the same as in canon until the final boss fight, when Luigi defeats King Boo in his Bowser costume. After King Boo comes out and Luigi intends to suck him in, the villain laughs and reveals the truth: Mario's painting was an illusion, so was everything Madame Clairvoya saw. All just to mess with Luigi. Meanwhile the real Mario wasn't just captured by the Boos, he was immediately killed by them on their King's orders. The only physical thing that's left of him in this realm is the five items Luigi found - hidden by the Boos for Luigi to find, another part of King Boo's sick game.

Luigi is able to finish the fight despite his shock and grief, fueled by the anger King Boo never expected from him. After getting out of the painting the plumber discovers that it is indeed empty, no Mario or anyone else in the portrait.

Heartbroken and guit-ridden, Luigi goes back to Professor E. Gadd's lab and gives him back the Poltergust 3000. He doesn't even want to stay long enough to see what is going to happen to the ghosts. Of course the Professor tries to offer some semblance of comfort, but we all know it's not his forte.

So Luigi leaves, only taking Mario's five items with him. He notices that the mansion has disapeared without a trace. The reality of it all finally hits him, and he practically collapses onto a nearby tree's large root protruding from the ground, putting down the precious items around himself, only leaving the matching red hat and the letter in his hands. He should have known something was off. After all, the Mario he saw in the painting was wearing his hat and both gloves.

Looking at all these items, to his growing horror he can't help but imagine what exactly might have happened to his brother and what his last moments might have been like. He hugs the hat to his chest and rereads Mario's note several times, knowing that the brief warning was his brother's last words to him.

Luigi can do nothing but cry for the beloved brother he couldn't save, desperately wishing it was his warm, living and breathing body pressed to his chest rather than just a couple of his belongings.

But Mario is truly gone, apparently having met such a horrific fate that not even a single part of his body is left in the physical world.

[Good night]

…I'll leave the rest up to your imagination ;) Sorry if I got carried away with my description. Occasionally even I enjoy being a little dramatic, though I'm no writer whatsoever.

Yeah, I'm not apologizing for making this one - I was nicer to Luigi than to his bro, at least here the Mushroom Kingdom and everyone in it (except for Mario lol) is still okay!

But alas,

You can no longer play as Mario

Rest in spaghetti, funny wahoo man.

@federthenotsogreat I'm tagging you because you said you wanted more Mario art like I Was-a Too Late, thought you might like this one too!

@drones-of-innocence Also tagging you because you were interested in my idea.

Edit: Tagging a few more mutuals who might want to see this based on their reaction to my previous angsty work just in case, feel free to ignore. Or ask me to remove the tag if you want, no problem.

between Dread continuing from a game on GBA (and really every game prior to that too) and Prime 4 continuing from 2 games on GameCube and Original DS, Metroid has the longest narrative endurance of any multi-creator series I've ever seen. Threads left in stasis decades ago when the series was shelved picked right back up once development resumes—an entire generation of developers later—like nothing ever happened

New pfp! 💚🤍✨

After sharing this post a couple of days ago and taking some time to make up my mind (indecisive Libra here ✌), I've finally decided to go with this adorable pic of Luigi and Polty resting together at the end of Luigi's Mansion 2 🥹 They just look so cute! 💚🤍✨

And, not gonna lie, I have to admit @itsavee4117's comment on the aforementioned post was what made me lean towards this option in the end 🤭 Not that I don't love the one of the brothers (like, I OBVIOUSLY do), but just, seeing how calm and peaceful Luigi and Polterpup look after everything they've been through warms my heart so much 🥹

Also, I missed having my beloved Green Bean as my pfp! 😄💚

Explaining the 2 Luigi's New Mansions + Googi Hypothesis

So in Luigi's Mansion after the Boos are defeated the Mansion disappears because it was a creation of the Boos. From here you can get any number of Rank Mansions for Luigi's new mansion that is built, depending on how well you did in the game. So in Mario Kart Double Dash on Luigi's Circuit we see Luigi's new mansion which is the one from the Rank A ending. Seems to be open and shut right? Well... not really. In Luigi's Mansion 2 Dark Moon we see Luigi in his New Mansion which is the Rank D Mansion? So what's going on here? Well I have a few hypotheses.

The first one is Luigi decided to build 2 Mansions and is living in one primarily. It's plausible but seems like an easy cop-out.

Another hypothesis is Luigi either had a D Rank Mansion and upgraded to a Rank A Mansion placing Double Dash after LM2DM. Or Luigi had a Rank A Mansion and downgraded to a Rank D Mansion. Both are possible but seems a bit complex.

The third hypothesis is the Rank D Mansion is the one from the canon ending, while the Rank A Mansion is a prop created for the Double Dash event. The creation of props and buildings for karting and sports events is not uncommon, and we even see it happen for the original Mansion created by the Boos. We see one in Mario Power Tennis, Mario Super Sluggers, Mario Kart Double Dash, and Mario Kart DS.

Now for the fourth and final hypothesis, and the one I think is what happened. So in the Luigi's Mansion 3DS game and extra bit of plot is added to the game. A future Professor Elvin Gadd sends Gooigi back in time to the events of Luigi's Mansion, to learn from Luigi. So as established in a previous post, time travel alters the past and present. So what I believe happened is the act of sending Gooigi back in time changed the past, and thus what Rank Mansion Luigi gets. This could explain why there is 2 New Mansions, one is from before Gooigi went back in time, the other is from after he went back in time. Side note, I like the attention to detail of E. Gadd still having access to time travel.

Concept art for a game that will only ever exist in my brain

[galaxygermdraws]

I finally beat LM3. Took...well it came out in 2019 and I restarted it sometime last year so. I’ve had the game for a while heh. Anyways I beat it and drew this. Also Robo Mario design because I miss him and in my head he and Gooigi are like brothers. I mean they basically are.

You're the Inspiration - Chapter 17

Attempting to pull away from the conversation, she looked back about the beautiful island. She noted a few sleeping piranha plants in flower beds and wandering goombas as well. Her hand clasped to her chest, she tried to keep her distance even if the goombas were staring rather alert in her direction.

“I am going to assume the Whomp King doesn't have control over these minions, huh?”

King Boo floated past her, as if encouraging her to follow him up the nearby path that would lead to the fortress ahead. “He does to a degree, but it’s because I am here they won’t try anything clever.”

Noting the intense glow in the king’s eyes, the goombas nearby scattered the second they saw it. It allowed for the two to traverse up to the castle looming overhead. A few idle thwomps remained locked in place just over the road leading there. She couldn't deny it was a bit unnerving walking under them, as she knew all too well that they could slam down and crush anybody weak enough if they wanted.

But whether they too knew better or the Whomp King demanded they stay still, it was hard for her to say. Soon the two were standing before the marvelous structure.

It was a beautiful stone castle with red roofs and spires. The windows were made of stained glass, making her curious how a being of stone would be fine to live in such a fortress. As the two made it to the front of the building, she found King Boo just floating there—staring at a wall.

“Something wrong…?” she asked, finding it odd he was looking at nothing.

“Move aside,” he ordered, but she could tell it wasn't directed at her but something else. “He should know I am here, unless your leader failed to deliver that message.”

It was there the stone wall came alive. The eyes and mouth of a whomp appeared on the building and a low grunt of sorts could be heard. If it wasn't a king before it, the being probably would have spoken back in retaliation, but it knew better. 

Hand to her chest, she recoiled as she was not expecting a whomp to just seemingly appear from the building wall itself.
