Luigi's Mansion: Premium Deluxe

A large Luigi's Mansion overhaul with an in-game options menu, widescreen, new enemies and areas, achievements and unlockables, and it runs on a real GameCube too.

What it is

Premium Deluxe is a big expansion of Luigi's Mansion led by Portable Productions. Instead of fixing one way to play, it adds an options menu to the game so you can set the rules yourself: difficulty, an overhead meter, chest style, a mirror mode, how mushrooms and the Poltergust behave, and whether pickup animations and story events play or are skipped.

What's new

  • New enemies and areas in the mansion, including new ghost encounters.
  • Secret unlockables and achievements to chase.
  • Widescreen support with a proper wider viewport.
  • Reworked and skippable events, plus many smaller improvements.

The project is meant to work on original hardware as well as on emulators.

Credits

LMFinish wrote the toggle menu, widescreen and much of the code, CoNesTra did event skips and revamps, gamemasterplc the widescreen viewport and save screens, with art and layout help from TheHappyFaceKing, Slugmotif and GadWorks.

Playing it

The mod is applied to your own copy of Luigi's Mansion following the instructions on its GameBanana page, which also has the overview video and update history.
