Luigi's Mansion 4: The Lone Ghost

Plot
One day, Luigi received a letter. The letter was sent by Hellen Gravely, the owner of a cruise ship that crosses the seas. When Luigi opened it, he discovered that it was a special invitation! "''Congratulations, Luigi! You are the lucky winner of a free stay at a world-class resort cruise, The Final Destination. We look forward to dazzling you with first-rate hospitality and service. Please be sure to invite any friends or family you'd like to bring!" -Hellen Gravely'' Luigi was overcome with excitement at the letter and rushed to go on the cruise alone. Soon, he departed for the cruise ship.

Upon arriving at the harbor, Luigi was strangely warmly welcomed by Hellen Gravely herself! Afterward, he was shown to his rooms. Luigi notices a locker room that has two lockers in it. Each locker holds the Poltergust G-00 and the Poltergust 3000. Little did he realize it was all a trap by Hellen Gravely to revive the God of the Mirrors, Leinth. Awakened in the night by the evil laugh of Hellen Gravely and King Boo, Luigi found a hotel swarming with ghosts and demons. Not only that, but the toads who got on the cruise ship in secret have all been sealed away, and it turns out the lockers that hold the Poltergust G-00 and the Poltergust 3000 have been broken. Will Luigi be able to rescue his trapped friends and escape the cruise ship in one piece, or will they be stuck on the boat sailing the haunted seas forever

Luigi
Luigi is a heroic, kind, and sensitive character. Luigi is optimistic, cheerful, quiet, and kind-hearted, like his brother. Still, unlike Mario is most shy, fearful, and can be goofy and naive at times, Luigi aspires to be like his brother Mario and become the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. However, during the nightmare sequence, Mario ignores him when he gets the award for Mushroom Kingdom Hero. Luigi did not get a medal, either. To make matters worse, Mario and his friends make fun of Luigi and proceed to Laugh at him. Mario ignores him and even pushes him down the stairs whenever he goes downstairs and during "Super Mario levels."

Gooigi
Gooigi reappears in Luigi's Mansion 4, where the player can use him to reach certain areas that Luigi cannot reach, such as areas behind bars, past spikes, or through grates. However, he melts if he touches water and disintegrates if he touches fire. Gooigi is unable to open doors, although he can still insert keys in them to unlock them. Gooigi can also vibrate when Luigi is near a door and enters a room where a Boo is hidden; the closer Luigi is to the Boo, the more Gooigi vibrates.

Gameplay
Luigi's Mansion 4, plays much like the three previous entries in the series, returning to a singular setting much like the first game while featuring a variety of themed rooms akin to the second game's cruiseship, allowing the player to re-explore already completed rooms. The Poltergust 3000 retains the basic qualities of the two previous vacuums, as well as the Strobulb item and the Dark-Light Device,

ScareScraper
Like its direct predecessors, ScareScraper also returns, allowing for up to twelve-player co-op multiplayer (via six Luigis and six Gooigis) to clear either 5, 10, 15, or 20 or a random amount of floors between one to twelve, with a one, three or five minute time limit for each floor, except the Rooftop, which has a time limit of roughly two, six or ten minutes. The mode also features procedurally generated floors, with different challenges on each floor such as Capture the Ghosts!, Find the Toads!, and Collect the Money!. It acts very similar to its prequel appearance, though adds new abilities and functions such as the super suction, super strobe, a red siren trapdoor detector helmet, voice chat, and the Blackout.

Little Carnival
A multiplayer party mode where two teams called Team Luigi and Team Gooigi consisting of Luigis and Gooigis respectively, set to compete against each other in over 12 minigames.

Dialogue
Dialogue in Luigi's Mansion 4: The Lone Ghost, differs from Nintendo's previous franchises. This is the first Luigi's Mansion video game whose cutscenes feature actual dialogue spoken by the characters themselves. You are presented with paraphrases of your available dialogue options on a "conversation wheel". For example, one choice may appear as "No! I need my brother, and I know my brother Mario needs me", while another option may appear as "You're right! I have had enough of the Mushroom Kingdom putting me down, making fun of me, and casting me out like I am non-exeistent".
