Showtime (parsed asShow Time in the British English version) is the boss mission in theOld Clockworks fromLuigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Here,Luigi fights theOverset Possessor who possesses the belfry clock. Luigi can earn theDark Moon piece when the Overset Possessor is defeated.

Overview[edit]

The possessed clock in the boss fight.

This mission starts off withProfessor E. Gadd andLuigi inspecting an image theToad assistant brought back from the preceding mission. It reveals the Overset Possessor, ghosts such asGreenies, Boos carryinga portrait in a sack andKing Boo's shadow. After Luigi is done inspecting the picture, E. Gaddpixelizes Luigi to theClock Tower Gate.

In the Clock Tower Gate, Luigi should inspect a crack on the wall to reveal the numbers necessary to open the Clock Tower Gate: 7:30. Luigi should then insert the rotor and the clock hands on the gate, then turn the rotor to make the time match 7:30. This opens the door toMovements. If Luigi tries to leave the Clock Tower Gate at all, E. Gadd will contact him, demanding him to get to the top. In Movements, Luigi should spin the rotors on the wall to take him up Movements, which then lead him into theBelfry. Luigi should then walk through the Belfry, and into the ladder, where a springboard flings him into theBelfry Clock.

The Belfry Clock is where the Overset Possessor is fought, and for this particular fight, Luigi must fight off hordes of ghosts and other enemies. Prior to each horde appearing, the minute clock hand will temporarily glow red, and move in a clockwise direction. While glowing, the hand will damage Luigi if he touches it, requiring him to stand on the edges of the clock to avoid it.

The horde order goes as follows:

  • 1: OneGreenie.
  • 2: Three Greenies.
  • 3: Five Greenies.
  • 4: TwoSlammers.
    • Overset Possessor's first stage.
  • 5: NineBeetles.
  • 6: ThreeSneakers.
  • 7: Three Greenies with mallets and shields.
  • 8: ThreeMummies.
    • Overset Possessor's second stage.

Starting with the ninth horde, the minute and hour clock hands will permanently glow red for the remainder of the fight.

  • 9: Fourteen Beetles.
  • 10: FiveCreepers.
  • 11: ElevenRobombs.
  • 12: One Greenie, one Robomb, one Sneaker, five Beetles, one Slammer, one armed Greenie.
    • Overset Possessor's third stage.

Once Luigi catches the Possessor, the clock gets set back to 12:00 and the fourthDark Moon piece flies out of thePoltergust 5000. E. Gadd calls Luigi after that and brings him back to theBunker but not before a giant cuckoo bird from the clock startles him and chimes so loud that he has to cover his ears. As soon as Luigi lands in the Bunker, he pulls out the Dark Moon piece to clean it, which causes more fog to lift up around the mountains ofEvershade Valley revealing theSecret Mine.
