All Working Luigi's Mansion Cheats - GameCube
Hints
Move map
Press [A] on the map screen to zoom in. Then, use the [C-stick] to scroll around the floor that you are on.
"A" rank
To obtain an "A" rank, get all the gold mice, catch all the blue ghosts, get both gold diamonds, and collect as much money as possible. You need $100,000,000 to get an "A".
Finding Boos
You can capture the fifty Boos that were let go at the start of the game to get a large diamond. To do this, use the Game Boy Horror in Boo sensor mode. Boos tend to hide in rooms with lights. Search all locations within such rooms. A blue Boo sensor light indicates that there is no Boo present. A yellow Boo sensor light indicates that a Boo, Booball, or Bomb is near. A red Boo sensor light indicates you are directly next to a Boo, Booball, or Bomb. Get the Boo sensor to be red, then turn on the vacuum or press [A] to examine the target object. If Booball appears, leave it alone to send it at a wall. Run away if a bomb appears.
You can only find Boos in rooms that you have lit up. This is because the Boos draw their power from the darkness. After you find a Boo (in a lit room), it may escape to an unlit room. If a Boo escapes into a dark room, it will be much more difficult to capture because its HP will drop much more slowly. This is because the Boos are stronger when they are in the dark.
To start capturing the Boos, you will have to find them and release them. Go into the dancing room on the first floor. Then, go to the end of the room and take the door going north. You will be in a small room with a pile of boxes and chairs. Use the Game Boy Horror to go into first person mode and look on the south wall. You should see a button with a sign under it. Line up correctly and press this button. The wall will fall back and the room will be enlarged. You should now see a trap door on the floor and a poster on the wall. Vacuum up the poster and press the button that is under it. The trap door will open and a lot of Boos will appear. They will run away because they see the Poltergust 3000. You will then talk to Professor E. Gadd. He will tell you about them, and you can now start catching the Boos.
Boos types
There are four types of Boos: white, blue, red, and black with a yellow outline.
Defeating Bogmire
Vacuum all the goo monsters quickly, then vacuum a giant goo monster. Take aim and fire at Bogmire. No goo monsters will get in your way and he cannot shake you.
To get to Bogmire, you must defeat Spooky The Dog in the Boneyard by luring out Mr. Bones with the dog's barking. After defeating Mr. Bones and Spooky, there will be sparks coming from the doghouse. Press [A] to examine it Game Boy Horror mode, and a mini tornado will appear. Get sucked into it to be transported to the nearby graveyard. You cannot return. By shaking and vacuuming the tombstones, you will lure out a few Mr. Bones. These Mr. Bones disappear very quickly after being surprised with the flashlight; torching them with the nearby flame spirits could be easier. After you have defeated all the ghosts, knock around the other tombstones for some health. The big tombstone should glow. Approach it to be transported to Bogmire. Vacuum a shadow, while still holding [R], then fire it at the purple Bogmire and vacuum him up.
Defeating Boolousus
When you get a chance, try to locate one of the frozen unicorns at one of the end of the balcony. While he's chasing you, just run circles around the unicorn. He will eventually run into the spike and pop on his own. Be careful -- once the Boos are separated, you have to watch your back. They will run up behind you if you are not looking at them.
When you first start, turn on your Poultergust 3000. As long as you hold down the vacuum button, he will try to escape. You cannot suck him up, but you can restrain him and swing him around. Walk to the frozen statue and swing him into it. While you are swinging him into the statue, you should suck up an ice ghost. When he pops, freeze as many as you can because this is the only time they will just float around, not attacking or running. Try to get at least seven to ten of them. When you pop him again, wait slightly before freezing the Boos. They will stay in one spot for a moment. You can either wait until he tries to attack and dodge, then freeze them, or run closer to one and freeze him. Do not use an ice block. The last one is the trickiest. The view zooms in on you, making it so you cannot see him until he attacks you. However, you will have to wait until he attacks because you cannot see him very well. Note: After the first assault you pull on him, the Boos will run if you try to ice them. There are fifteen Boos in Boolousus.
After you poke him on the horse statue, grab the Ice power-up and turn your back to the Boos. They will form up and go for your back. Turn around and freeze them when they are about to strike.
Defeating Chauncey
After you defeat the Neville and Lydia, you get to Chauncey (the baby). You have to defeat him two times. The first time, you have to pick up the ball with the Poultergust 3000, aim, and press [L] to fire. Hit him and he will blab about his owee. You become small and he will be very big. He will throw rocking horses and balls. When all the balls are done bouncing, one will be stationary. Pick it up, aim, and shoot it at him.
Hit him with the ball and when you vacuum him up, attempt to pull him into a corner.
When you enter the nursery, there is a crib. When you look away, there will be a baby in the crib. Vaccum the rocking horse. The baby will wake up and ask to play. Grab the ball and release it in front of the baby. It will get mad and shrink you. Dodge the rocking horses, and when the balls appear, one will land on the ground. Grab it before it disappears and hit the baby with it. You should see a heart shape on its chest. Start vacuuming it up, and it most likely will escape. Repeat those steps until you catch it.
Defeating The Floating Whirlindas
Get close to them, with your back turned to them. When you see them let each other loose, turn towards them and vacuum them.
Defeating King Boo
Take Bowser's head off by shooting the spikeballs at him when he leans down to shoot fire. King Boo will appear. Press [L] and [R] and try to pull him back from the Bowser body. Practice on one of the higher number of heart power Boos that you find at the end of the game, since he has only 300 HP.
When you finally make it to King Boo, you will have to walk very close to start him talking. Instead, go directly to the right. You will see two vase-like objects with purple flames coming out of them. Hit them (to check inside) to find a gold bat in one and a lot of coins in the other.
Defeating Madame Clairvoya
You cannot defeat Madame Clairvoya unless you have retrieved all five of the items that Mario has dropped (Hat, Glove, Star, Letter, and Shoe), As you collect each of these items, bring them to Madame Clairvoya and listen to her speak. When you bring the last item, she will talk about Mario then ask you to vacuum her so she can go back to the peacefulness of her painting. Flash her with your light, then vacuum her up.
Defeating Melody Pianissima
Go to the music room with the key that you got from Shivers. Press [A] on all instruments except the piano. She will talk to you and send papers. Defend yourself by vacuuming them up, then vacuum her when she gets upset.
Defeating Miss Petunia
You need to spray the freeze on her, then vacuum her up.
Defeating: Mr. Luggs
Use our Fire element to light the two candles. Suck up his food with the vacuum. Ghosts will appear and serve him -- vacuum them up. When the food is gone, he will shoot fireballs at you. Dodge them and when he starts panting, vacuum him up.
Defeating Neville
To capture Neville, go over to the bookcase and vacuum with the Poultergust 3000. Books will fly out and he will go over to fix them. Use this opportunity to flash the light and vacuum him in. You still have to vacuum in 100 heart power. If you fail the first time, he will still not regain health. Repeat this a few times to vacuum him in.
Go to his fireplace and start to vacuum his ship in a bottle. When he yawns, his heart will show and that is when you can get him.
HInt: Defeating Sir Weston
Melt the ice cage that he is in with fire.
Defeating Spooky
Use the Water element on the green thing (seed) in the sand. Make Spooky chase after you and run to the plant. A skeleton will appear. Catch him then catch Spooky when he runs to the bone.
Defeating Vincent Van Gore
You have to defeat all the ghosts in the paintings first.
