Legacy
Luigi's Mansion introduced two new characters, Professor E. Gadd and King Boo.
E. Gadd has reappeared in other Mario games, such as Mario Party 6 and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. E. Gadd may have also made the paintbrush that Bowser Jr. uses and F.L.U.D.D. in Super Mario Sunshine. King Boo appears in other games either as a boss (Super Mario Sunshine and Super Princess Peach) or a playable character (Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Super Sluggers).
Luigi's Mansion has reappeared in other Mario games, usually acting as Luigi's home stage. It appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart 7, Mario Power Tennis, Mario Kart DS, Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Mario Super Sluggers, and Mario Sports Mix. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a Luigi's Mansion stage is unlockable. It can be destroyed when characters hit a set of pillars, but it can rebuild itself later on. There are also some stickers and trophies based on the game.
The game has achieved a level of cult status, with fans creating homage/parodies of it; such as the YouTube "Luigi's Mansion" series. A sequel was revealed at E3 2011 for the Nintendo 3DS, and demonstrated as Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon at E3 2012. The sequel was delayed and is being released in the first quarter of 2013.
The ghosts in Luigi's Mansion have made appearances in other Nintendo games, such as Mario Party 8 and Wii Party.
This is a game in which it was released one day before the release of the GameCube.
At E3 2012, Nintendo introduced the Wii U launch title Nintendo Land, which hosts Luigi's Ghost Mansion, a multiplayer mini-game based on the original Luigi's Mansion.
