Hit Rock Bottom, orD-2, is the second mission of theSecret Mine inLuigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. This mission is notable for introducing strong variations ofghosts.

Overview[edit]

Introduction to the E-Gates.

Like otherToads before, the ToadLuigi saved in theprevious mission brought back a security-camera image. AfterProfessor E. Gadd processes it, it shows several Boos trapping aSneaker, aSlammer, and aGreenie inside of red crystals. He then mentions the odd laughter Luigi was talking about, and wonders if it came from the Boos'leader, but realizes that the only way to be sure is to examine theCrystal Quarry.

Luigi getspixelated once again to the mine, and is sent back to theAirway in order to get to the bottom of the mine. Before he gets there, though, he notices a set ofgates that teleport him from place to place which were invented by E. Gadd (whom he also jokes about greeting his other hand). With the help of these gates, he arrives ata room that is nothing but a long slide down; once he gets to the bottom, Luigi realizes he is nearly at the bottom of the mine. He goes into theSmuggler's Hideout, a nearby room, and is attacked by a team ofGreenies and aSneaker. After this, he arrives at theShaft, which is a long elevator down, and he sees a Greenie, two Slammers, and aGold Greenie (only the Gold Greenie is able to be captured) holding large red crystals.

Once he arrives at theDeep Hall, E. Gadd calls Luigi and tells him that he is at the very bottom of the mine, and that the Crystal Quarry is somewhere nearby. After obtaining burning rocks and wood, Luigi melts some ice which was blocking a key, obtains it, and unlocks the door to the Crystal Quarry. Upon entering, he sees that the Boos and the ghosts trapped in crystals from the picture are still there, and the ghosts now have white stripes all over their bodies. The Boos flee, leaving Luigi at the mercy of the now strengthened ghosts, but not before taunting and scaring the plumber. Once he inspects one of the crystals, the respective ghost inside it flies out, attempts to attack Luigi, and once it is sucked up, the two remaining ghosts fly out as well. Once Luigi defeats all three, he is called back by E. Gadd, and the mission ends.

Objectives[edit]

Mission Goal:
The security image revealed strange events in the Crystal Quarry at the bottom of the mine. Get there as soon as possible, and figure out what the Boos are doing with the ghosts.

• Reach the bottom of the mine.
• Inspect the Crystal Quarry.

Boo location[edit]

This Boo is located in theChalet. If Luigi shines hisDark-Light Device where the rocking chair by the fire was,Spirit Balls will fly out, and once they are sucked up by Luigi, the Boo, named Booger (Boouncer in PAL versions) flies out.

Description[edit]

According to the Toad assistant, ghosts - Boos especially - have been very active in the mine. Perhaps that security camera photo will tell us what they're up to.
