So with out additional ado, let’s set our Poltergust’s strobe gentle to stun and get cracking, we could?
#1 Cruise Send
The most important possible factor with this one is {that a} cruise send is successfully a floating resort, so we concern it will merely rehash concepts observed in Luigi’s Mansion 3.
That mentioned, there is a sense of isolation that best comes if you find yourself caught in the midst of the sea, so we reckon Subsequent Stage can have a laugh with this. An enormous cruise send additionally has an entire bunch of distinctive spaces, together with its personal waterpark, health centres, promenades, and staff decks.
If a cruise send would not paintings, then an oil rig very similar to Nonetheless Wakes the Deep may well be an concept.
#2 Isle Delfino
A generic tropical island got here to thoughts first, but if we imagined Isle Delfino corrupted by way of darkness (much more so than in Mario Sunshine) and teeming with ghosts, we simply could not withstand. It could make sense, too, because the F.L.U.D.D. (Flash Liquid Extremely Dousing Instrument), similar to the Poltergust, was once invented by way of Professor E. Gadd.
The unique recreation performed round with the theory of manipulating components, together with water, so how superior wouldn’t it be if Luigi may temporarily change between the Poltergust and F.L.U.D.D. at the fly?
You want to even have ranges set in core Mario Sunshine places, reminiscent of Ricco Harbour, Bianco Hills, and in all probability most significantly, Pinna Park, ticking off the moderately evident selection of a haunted theme park for a brand new access.
#3 Bowser’s Citadel
Are we able to consider a state of affairs wherein Bowser, king of the Koopas, enlists the assistance of Mario’s brother for a Citadel-wide exorcism? Heck yeah, we will! Peach’s Citadel is usually a possible contender, however truthfully, that is a lot more attention-grabbing.
We have now observed Bowser’s Citadel featured again and again over time in more than a few guises, however we have by no means in reality gotten a just right sense of its scale and magnitude. What higher approach to show off Bowser’s house than to provide us complete get entry to for Boo-busting functions?
The not likely truce may additionally lead to a couple attention-grabbing interactions with vintage villains like Iggy Koopa, King Bob-Bomb, and Bowser Jr.
#4 Village
When floating the theory of possible settings, probably the most first issues all of us agreed on was once that the collection more than likely had to ditch the titular atmosphere for one thing extra bold.
So, what about a whole haunted village? If you happen to’ve ever performed Medievil, we are pondering one thing alongside the strains of the ‘Sound asleep Village’ degree; a Lovecraftian location full of intriguing homes, retail outlets, parks, and spooky colleges. Despite the fact that we would even be rather desirous about a extra picturesque, geographical region village like the ones in Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy. “No success catchin’ them ghosts, then?”
Transferring to a location like this would possibly necessitate evolving the two.5D ‘diorama’ setup of the former video games right into a full-on 3-d explorative enjoy. We might be completely wonderful with that.
#5 Coconut Mall
Ah, curse you Daybreak of the Useless for turning buying groceries department shops into the easiest atmosphere for horrific situations. We are best kidding, we like it.
However sure, whilst Luigi’s Mansion 3 had its personal flooring devoted to resort retail outlets (wherein it cleverly took inspiration from Resident Evil‘s vintage locked-door / themed-key setup), a full-blown Coconut Mall loaded with distinctive shops and eating places could be superior to discover.
You want to lengthen it to the workforce spaces, together with loading bays, giant ol’ business elevators, parking so much, and extra. Granted, there is a threat right here of proscribing the prospective environmental selection with a shopping center, but when Useless Emerging can do it, then so can Luigi’s Mansion.
#6 Area!
Ok, listen us out in this one. [But in space, no one can hear yo—I’ll see myself out. – Ed.]
We are sure some other people scoffed on the concept of Mario heading into area when Tremendous Mario Galaxy was once first introduced, however why now not let Luigi mission to the a ways reaches of the sun device?
In all probability he unearths himself misplaced in a sprawling area station stalked by way of malfunctioning robots and frightening ghosts of former astronauts. Anti-grav sections may drive Luigi to make use of the Poltergust as a thruster pack and propel himself round.
Plus, we’re going to take any alternative we will get for Rosalina and Luma cameo!
#7 New Donk Town
What is that? A complete village is not rather bold sufficient? Smartly ok, let’s opt for New Donk Town then.
We are imagining a full-blown Ghostbusters-inspired state of affairs right here with spectres roaming the streets, red slime flowing via sewers, and a large Keep Puft Marshmallow Guy smashing his manner via structures. Ok, that may well be just a little too identical, however you get the theory.
Naturally, a city-wide emergency necessitates radically other way of traversal and exploration. May Luigi have his personal Ecto-1-style automobile? Perhaps E. Gadd may whip one thing up, or serve as as a taxi motive force of types.
Both manner, completed proper, this might in reality raise the collection to a complete new degree.
#8 Tremendous Nintendo International
We discussed Pinna Park within the Isle Delfino access however what if Nintendo simply went complete meta and presented a fictional, haunted model of its real-life Tremendous Nintendo International theme park?
It would have a identical opening to LM3 wherein you discover the park all through the day and make allowance the ones folks who have not had an opportunity to talk over with in genuine lifestyles to get a really feel for it. Then, evening descends, ghosts upward push out of the bottom to take over Toadstool Café and Mario Kart: Koopa’s Problem, and it is as much as you to wash issues up sooner than visitors arrive tomorrow.
#9 Deserted Jail
Now, we are not pondering of the rest rather as oppressive as Silent Hill 2‘s Toluca Jail, however we reckon an Alcatraz-inspired deserted jail facility could be beautiful superior.
You want to also have some form of time shuttle setup wherein you rescue a more youthful model of E. Gadd from the confines of his mobile. Doomed to a lifetime of imprisonment for his Document Brown-inspired whimsy, E. Gadd’s ramblings about ghosts in the end come true; however whilst the cowardly guards and inmates flee in terror, Luigi steps as much as save the day.
So the ones are our concepts for possible places in a hypothetical Luigi’s Mansion 4. Expectantly we may not have to attend too lengthy to listen to about what Subsequent Stage Video games has been operating on. A brand new Luigi’s Mansion would most likely be centered for the approaching Transfer 2, so we have were given top hopes for a brand new access.
Now, the one factor left to contemplate is which console Luigi will probably be the usage of to keep up a correspondence with E. Gadd. Up to now, he is had the Recreation Boy Horror, the DS (Twin Scream), and the Digital Boo. A Transfer Fright, in all probability?
You should definitely go away a remark down under on the place you need Luigi’s Mansion 4 to happen. If in case you have any concepts that we have now not discussed above, then we would love to listen to ’em.
