I couldn't finish the video for Halloween
Well that works for me so let's talk about this!
Luigi's Mansion man this one's a nostalgia trip
It's actually one of the first games I got with my Gamecube and that was my first console
So when I was playing it I didn't know that's not what games were
thought that was just like a regular game
I didn't know games were
JUMPING
SHOOTING
not WALKING
The story begins as many do -
Luigi opens a spam email saying he won a mansion in a contest he didn't even enter
I mean it's the 2000s. Mario, Luigi - They're simple European men that grew up in the 80s
So being the proud European immigrants they are, Mario's like
Don't worry Luigi, your big brother's got this!
Nice of the contest to invite us over for a mansion, eh Luigi?
Luigi?
It's been one of those days
Uh- oh *man stock scream SFX*
;)
All you know is when you start the game is that Mario said he was gonna be here and he's not
So the game designers got really in the head of the player
They asked themselves what
would be the one thing the player wanted to do to find Mario
*Luigi calls his handsome brother, Mario*
♫
*Luigi farts*
Luigi: Yeah well I didn't think it was so funny
Young me didn't know any better all I knew there was ghosts on the box and
that freaked me the hell out. Yeah I know it's not that scary but you know picture
me as a kid - I was inept with my gaming skill and above all that I didn't know
how textures/objects I didn't know those worked in games. For all I knew things
could transform into different shapes without me knowing. These all these walls are hollow
but to me in my mind any of them could have opened up at any old time with a ghost.
And that's what was scary. So let's get right into the game
OH - what are you configuring?
This is the first thing you see of him
this is your first impression - you're touching buttons without doing anything like really
you're touching my buttons by doing that
W-wait a minute...
IT'S DOLBY SURROUND SOUND!!! :D
*Tranquil Music*
So here we go, into the mansion and this gives me the
Hoo, this gives me the heebie-jeebies
The mansion Luigi's controls
Don't worry, your ability to climb stairs was not lost on me
This beginning area really sets the
tone of the game. Every step you take, every action you , do every knob you turn
is like slowly going to grab a boobie for the first time - yeah you know you're
hesitant you don't know if you're gonna do something wrong
and someone's gonna scream-
*Luigi pees his pants and screams*
Then... eh...
Professor E. Gadd - the weirder side of the Mario GameCube era of games
He's a dude that apparently has lived here his whole life and he studied ghosts and how to
catch 'em, though he does say that the mansion just appeared
I'm sure he's trustworthy there's nothing look into
E. Gadd ain't afraid of no ghosts
In fact, he's the real monster. He collects the souls of these ghosts
for what purpose? To turn them into paintings and put them in his gallery
and I guess I don't have options at this point but E. Gadd says he'll guide Luigi
through the mansion gives him the Poltergust 3000 and guides him through
a tutorial where
*Sexy Music Ensues*
um okay I was not expecting sexy music to play on a
controller screen but you know maybe was just a one-time thin-
*Even More Sexy Music*
This guy want Luigi's DINK
So after this guy nearly breaks the fly on his pants Doug wasn't
Hotel Mario: That wasn't so hawd
You can head into the mansion and start your adventure
*Ominous Music*
Luigi from the...
How are you-
*Alax Screams*
Time to catch some ghosts and this is the main mechanic of the game
You flash your flashlight on them, find their heart and begin sucking on their meaty Ghost Souls™
The game is split into four sections where you have to catch a portrait
ghosts - i.e. Souls™ that have not left the material world so they take refuge in
this mansion as a sort of cruel purgatory but then we suck them up put
them into portraits so they can't die for all eternity
*Children Cheering Happily*
But the basic way you play this game is you clear a room, lights go on, you get a key, you go find
another room. Rinse your hands and repeat
But sometimes it's not that easy it's
one of those older games where you have to talk to the right thing at the right
time go and grab the certain things so you have them for later. It can be
cryptic but that kind of fits the appeal of the game. When I think of a game in my
head it feels so big - so many rooms, so many places to walk - but in reality it's
actually pretty small and I think it's these inherent design choices that make
the atmosphere so unsettling and spooky.
Compare it to a game like Mario Sunshine
it's big, you can run around, you can swim, you can go anywhere, you talk to this guy
kick a fruit - and the music
The game feels happy and bright you know - it says what it is.
But then there's Luigi's House
The camera is fixed, the hallways are narrow,
Luigi moves slow.
The architecture of the place is old
And the music for the whole game is
*Luigis Mansion Theme*
He hums it, the ghosts BLU-LU it ...
Luigi what are you -
Luigi I know it was a stressful night my kids are watching!
In terms of music, there's very little.
It more relies on ghost sound effects ambience to really
make you feel like you're in that mansion taking each and every step
Honestly the part of this game that scared me the most wasn't the ghosts
that popped up - it was the mystery that laid beyond each door because you
couldn't see into the next room you didn't know what was there and it was dark
So you really did feel like Luigi where he's going to grab the door knob
very slowly scared he grips
he's like *Alax Girlishly Screams*
Ah..there's so many memories I have with this game
from the odd room where you flip on the ceiling to that one room that's totally
upside down. And then there's that one time where-
LIGHTNING STRIKES
I think the power went out
The thing that hit me as a kid was actually this room.
If you tried to head to the final boss area before you've completed the
certain requirements, King Boo appears before you he insults you and then he
pushes you back to the start of the mansion.
Yeah I didn't like sleeping anyways, whatever.
Another thing that's fun in this game that's totally optional are the
treasures they're hidden all over the mansion with different requirements on
how to get more and there's a different rank at the end of the game that tallies
up how much he collected and shows you the mansion Luigi builds.
This is an A-rank - ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
The treasures in the mansion are real but the mansion itself isn't real?
OH I can't see ya cus' the money's in the way
*Drake's "the Motto" faintly plays in the BG so lightly it doesn't warrant a copyright strike.*
So yep, this is the game
You hump treasure chests, you get gems. you get keys, you suck on some meaty ghosts
And you go save Mario.
This all culminates with the finale - you collect all the ghosts in the mansion and head to King Boo
Oh yeah - Mario? He was trapped in a painting the whole game - very suspicious.
It's actually pretty poetic five years ago Mario's jumping into paintings killing many of
his enemies now his enemies have undone Mario by his own hand
Utter hubris Macbeth.
Turns out he also has Bowser there and then sucks you into the
painting and I have a little theory about all of this it's not actually
Bowser's - It's King Boo putting some sort of trance on Luigi bringing his worst fears to life.
Getting trapped in paintings, losing Mario and fighting an unkillable Bowser.
But when all is said and done you suck up King Boo and Bowser and save Mario.
Luigi: Hey Mario, you want heeeaaad
Mario: Shut the *** up Luigi.
Y'know, the ending scene is just so touching
You put Mario through the machine here like I don't know if this
gonna work and then you hear a KERR-PLOP and Luigi's like...
*Mario Music*
*Sad/Happy Music*
Seeing Luigi cry those tears of relief
That is just the most real
Most human emotion the Mario Brothers have ever shown.
If that's not a 10/10 ending, I don't know what is...
*Even More Sexy Music*
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Hey, the powers back! Wow what a relief!
However don't you think it's kind of weird that E. Gadd built Luigi
a completely new mansion - almost like he was obligated to do it like he had to do
it for Luigi for some reason
Oh don't worry Cat,
this isn't some dumb theory.
THIS IS FACT!
While we're on this let's dig a bit deeper
E. Gadd tells us he's been studying ghosts for 20 years.
Yet that mansion just appeared a few days ago
Why would he be in this exact location
if the mansion just appeared?
And if the Boo are the ones that captured Mario
how is that even possible? They were trapped until Luigi let them out
The only person in the mansion before Luigi was E. Gadd
And if Mario was trapped in a portrait
who's the only person with a machine that could do that?
You're the only one that saw Mario going into the mansion
you are the one that had all these ghosts in your portraits,
So how did they escape?
Did you set all this up did you put every one of them in the mansion for Luigi?!
And I mean come on we all saw you looking at Luigi's ass!
Why does the GameBoy Horror have a two-way camera?
Why do you even need that you could just use audio?
And better yet why did you have this ready for when Luigi came?
And by the way stop suggesting Luigi goes washes up in the bathroom.
Why you want him to go take a shower so bad?
Why would E. Gadd go through all of this
kidnap Mario, set up this mansion, and then end up helping Luigi in the end
E. Gadd - explain yourself
*Sensual Funk Ensues*
Luigi: W-what?
Set up this mansion for you
Had to get you here some other way
I guess what I'm trying to say is
I want to be your boo!
Luigi: You kidnapped my brother to be with me...
I could spend all night long
A livestream with just Luigi's dong!
Luigi: I'm actually very tired could you let me sleep?
Let's go for a dance, Luigi!
You can give me a bubble bath!
I am approaching death quite soon so...
Let's make it quick...
Luigi: Alright, I'm leaving, Goodbye
Uh... **** you, this was horrible. Let's go Mario.
You have an nice ass-so
Let me touch your ass-ho
You have an nice ass-so
Let me touch your ass-ho
It's Alax on the mic and I'm here again
I'm no stranger to this type of thing

You guys helped me through day and day and out
I gotta go and try and work it out
T-shirts are gonna come out

10 Dollar, 5 Dollar, 1 Dollar
Everybody here holler
Thank you everybody who viewed the video
Watching till the end does more than you know
YouTube's algorithms not the same
But I gotta play the rhythm in the game
So here it is my very thanks
Thank you everybody I'll make it bank
I'm gonna be a famous type of dude
Whatever that means on a YouTube
But I'm gonna make it in this world so you can't say that you
watch someone get there and you could be inspired being fired
I''m gonna be an empire
So thank you I'm gonna say in the very end I don't know what else to say there
We kinda blew the end card as usual
Things don't pop up anymore thank you I'm out of here
