Product Description
Fantastic that you're interested in Luigi's Mansion 2 for the Nintendo 3DS! In this spooky yet oh-so-fun adventure, Luigi takes centre stage to explore various haunted houses and rid them of ghosts.

Luigi's Mansion 2 can be played on all
Nintendo 2DS (XL) and (new) 3DS (XL) systems, but not on the original

14 tips: 7 Personal tips - 4 Easter Eggs and Glitches - 3 SecretsPersonal tip:
Why is it important to look around carefully in Luigi's Mansion 2?
Of course, Luigi occasionally looks over his shoulder because he’s actually quite scared to wander through such a creepy mansion. If you also take a good look around, it will help you on your adventure in Luigi’s Mansion 2. Why is there a tear in the wallpaper? A fan and a crank, what can I do with those? Pay attention to such details. They could lead to treasure or help you progress in your mission. Naturally, there are 13 jewels to be found in each mansion. They are particularly well hidden, so try to find them all.
In the Dark House, check behind the curtains in the studio, thaw an ice block in the kitchen, or notice that a statue has disappeared from the courtyard. Each jewel you find can be viewed in K. Wibus' vault.
