TheGloomy Manor is alocation inLuigi's Mansion: Dark Moon andLuigi's Mansion 2 HD. It is the first mansion visited byLuigi. Gloomy Manor is similar toLuigi's Mansion fromthe first game in that it is a regular haunted mansion taking place during a storm. It is here that Luigi acquires thePoltergust 5000, theStrobulb, theDark-Light Device, and the secondDark Moon piece. The sub-bosses are threePoltergeists, and the mainboss is a giant purplespider that has been possessed by theGrouchy Possessor, which is located in theCellar. The manor has three floors and a basement and features five standard missions, a boss mission, and a bonus mission that is unlocked after the player collects all theBoos in the manor.

Not much is known about the Gloomy Manor besides that it is abandoned.Professor E. Gadd was using this mansion to observe theghosts before the Dark Moon shattered. During the time E. Gadd spent studying the ghosts, he made modifications to the mansion, running pipes and wires throughout it. A statue of E. Gadd can be found in the Patio, suggesting that he owned the mansion at some point.

Other appearances[edit]

Luigi's Mansion 3[edit]

The model of the Gloomy Manor

InLuigi's Mansion 3, there are several references to its predecessor, including a model of the Gloomy Manor found on the 15th and final floor ofThe Last Resort.

In the Master Suite's Library, there is a puzzle where the player must spin a pinwheel to spin around an area of the room to create the correct path. Among the choices is a side with a model of the Gloomy Manor and the Dark Moon above it. When the player first examines this, a short clip will play, with suspenseful music as the camera gets closer and closer to the mansion, only for aGolden Goob to pop out of it. It can be examined only once.

Portraits of the Gloomy Manor appear throughout the Last Resort, such as in the hallway on thefifth floor next to the entrance ofRoom 502, and on the left wall in theFalse Bedroom on the11th floor.

Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge[edit]

InMini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, the Gloomy Manor, as well as its surroundings, forms the setting ofMini Luigi's stages, contained in a world calledMoonlight Mansion. The dilapidated fish fountain at the left of the front yard, along with the polygonal alley, sharp bar fences, and light poles with rough spiraled designs, retrieves its decorative roles around the Gloomy Manor.
