Mario's Story in Luigi's Mansion

Regarding the boos "trapped" in the storage room, here's what I had to say to others: "When Luigi reaches the storage room and releases King Boo along with the others, one boo says "Oh ho! It's Luigi! Look, guys! Luigi's finally here!" That last part is ESPECIALLY important! "Luigi's finally here"? As in, they were waiting for him in hiding? This makes it quite clear that King Boo's plan after capturing Mario was to lay hidden under the storage room and rush Luigi with his minions the moment the hatch was opened. The reason why they didn't rush him as planned was stated a couple lines later: "What's on his back...? It's... E.Gadd's Poltergust 3000! Everybody scram!" They knew they stood no chance against that device, so the strategy that they used on Mario quickly crumbled when used on Luigi."

Nope. Here’s what probably happened... Mario: Oh hey! It’sa painting! Wahoo! Adventure! “Mario 64 entering painting sound” King Boo: That was easy...

“Nice of King Boo to invite us over for a free mansion, eh Luigi?” “I hope he made lotsa spaghetti!”

Due to the glove being sweaty, I'm going to say he didn't leave the spares–but that he actually changed in to the spares and went to sleep in a bedroom while his hat was being washed. As it looks like late at night during the entire game, it is likely that it was after nightfall when Mario showed up. K. Boo tried to capture Mario in his sleep, but he woke up due to being a light sleeper, running off, power star under his hat. Everything else lines up well enough.

This video is way better than it has any right to be. Nice work

Wish the 3DS remake of Luigi's Mansion added a mission or DLC that showed what happened to Mario before Luigi arrived to the mansion

Nintendo be like “Uh...yeah sure that’s definitely what happened.”

5:34 you had an opportunity to use the hotel mario clip...

This is incredible. That "mailbox" looks a lot like a birdhouse 🤓

8:06 He knew Luigi would come to get him out. When you enter the well, right before partially emerging through the lion mouth, you can hear him shout “Hey, Luigi! What’s the holdup?!” in quite possibly his first ever piece of dialogue.

In LM 3, we can see that the at first, the hotel looks very attractive and friendly. Perhaps the same thing happened in the original Luigi’s mansion

I love the mod of a playable Mario & sprite visuals you used in the story telling, its small details like this that keep me invested in these types of videos! I wish we got a perspective from Mario's story finding the mansion in the game, this fits that gap very well! :D

This is a nicely written fanfiction. It makes Mario look like a loving brother towards Luigi and makes him somewhat cool, like how he runs fast from King Boo, or how he puts his faith in Luigi.

The reenactment reminds me of Danganronpa

I actually really love the idea of Mario hiding the powerstar in the observatory under a spell so the boos couldn't get it. It actually gives a lot of credence to how the room is completely inaccessible (if you try to enter the room before beating the previous room, it'll endlessly loop). Cute idea.

4:36 Love the letter.😂

Honestly, with all the theories of mario being a demented, abusive, sociopath, its nice to see a theory where he did all of this out of suspicion and to warn his brother

Woah! I never really understood how Mario got captured in Luigi's Mansion, but I think you might just have hit it spot on! Great job!

I love how this makes sense and keeps Mario's overprotective brother trait due to baby ptsd with him using his knowledge and always choosing to rush ahead to make sure things are safe for his brother. Tbh ya gotta love how Mario and Luigi always care about each other to a point where they prioritize each other's safety over everything else. Like how in the Mario and Luigi series they always freak our and drop everything to find and make sure the other is okay and then they go back to their mission. And I know this old but I agree with your other Luigi's mansion video it's wholesome moment and I love it just adds more to their relationship and how much it progresses in the games especially in the Luigi's mansion series like in 1 he's scared and holding out so he can save Mario then in Luigi's mansion 2 he's annoyed that boi caused E-gad trouble and he's gotta fix it only to be surprised to find Mario was captured again and then at the end he just gets angry with boo and starts pulling the vacuum with more force, then Mario tells him he's the best which is extra wholesome. But Luigi's mansion 3 has the most thought out story, sure it's simple and obvious but relationships Luigi has with the other characters, and the little things he does randomly really finalizes his character, he laughs and is scared but at the same time he's angry that boo duped him again and this time brought all his friends here with him, so angry that he just beats up the ghost to capture them except for the director he's chill. Then when he easily saves Mario he forgets about Peach which boo obviously knew would happen which this adds to boo as well showing that he truly study both brothers and knew Luigi would save Mario so he captured the princess someone Luigi considered somewhat like a sister and someone Mario liked in order to tear them apart but Mario's refusal to leave really showed how well he knew his brother to the point he had to lead him to Peach so they could save her together.

There is also the fact the ghost paintings in the first area alluded to the fact that Mario was also in the room as well, adding a bit more credit to the theory.
