What it is

Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a family-oriented ghost-hunting adventure and a high-definition remaster of the 3DS game Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Playing as a timid Luigi, you explore a series of haunted mansions armed with a flashlight and the Poltergust vacuum, solving light puzzles and capturing cartoon ghosts by stunning and sucking them up. The tone is comedic and spooky rather than scary: enemies are goofy specters, hazards are mild, and there is no blood, gore, foul language, sexual content, or substances. An online and local cooperative mode called ScareScraper lets several players clear randomized floors together, but the game provides no in-game voice or text chat.

How it's framed

The game frames its haunted setting as lighthearted comedy-horror; ghosts are whimsical obstacles to be humorously captured, Luigi's nervousness is played for laughs, and there is no real-world occult imagery, moral peril, or menace beyond gentle startle moments.
