Ah, Tomb Suites. That sounds interesting, doesn't it?
Yeah. Have you guys ever seen The Mummy?
I have. Both versions, actually.
And have you guys seen the Indiana Jones franchise?
Yep. The first one was the best, in my opinion.
It's a shame that Luigi didn't bring any khakis along.
Luigi in khakis? Now that would be a sight!
Oh, yeah!
Great—now I've got the image in my head!
...
True to its name, Tomb Suits was modeled off an ancient Egyptian tomb, with many rugs depicting the artwork of the era festooning the walls. Platters of fruit were stacked on one table, and the room was lit with the glow of torches.
Gooigi stopped Luigi as he moved forward. "Wait," he said. "I smell something."
He stepped onto a triangle in the middle of the room, which depressed. An arrow shot out from each of the four corners, embedding themselves into Gooigi. Calmly, Gooigi pulled out the arrows, the wounds closing almost instantly.
"This place is probably full of traps," said Gooigi. "We'd better keep our eyes and ears open."
"Amen to that," said Luigi.
Modern-day amenities such as lotions and towels were arranged on benches and recliners, reminding our adventurers that this was just a hotel floor with an Egyptian theme. There was even some rug art depicting Luigi, Poltergust and all!
"I don't think it flatters you," mused Gooigi.
Another piece of rug art depicted Luigi being startled by some ghosts.
"Wow—really?" huffed Luigi.
Before he could react further, some Goobs popped out of hiding and actually startled him!
Luigi whirled on the Goobs and stunned them with the Strobulb, swiftly defeating them with an assist from Gooigi. After the two uncovered a gem from inside a snake statue, they vacuumed up the piles of sand in their way and walked through a door to their left.
And they found themselves standing in front of an actual pyramid.
"What is this, Indiana Jones?" asked Gooigi.
"More like a cross between Indiana Jones and The Mummy," said Luigi. "Let's stay alert and be careful of the objects we interact with. We don't wanna accidentally unleash an ancient curse on the people we're trying to save, do we?"
"Nope," said Gooigi.
Luigi and Gooigi plowed through the sand with their vacuums, facing off against a gaggle of Mini Hammers and collecting treasure. Lots and lots and lots of treasure. At one point, Luigi noticed the sand-blowing machines affixed to the walls.
