He'd run away, never look back, if he didn't say the words. Those words are the only safeguard against the fear.

Super Mario had felt helpless three times, but that didn't make him any less of a hero.

Welcome to the Last Resort. You can check in anytime you like, but you can never leave. Things couldn't be better for the green-clad ghost fighter. His first two encounters with the paranormal have built him up into a stronger person. He has friends, a brother and an unofficial sister-in-law who care about him. His nightmares regarding his experiences have been few and far between. And now he and his near and dear ones have been invited to stay at a luxurious new hotel! Unfortunately, the promise of a few restful days' vacation turns into a fight for survival as Luigi's closest friends wind up in the sadistic clutches of the revenge-hungry King Boo. To make things worse, he's allied himself with an admirer who will do anything to prove her fanatical devotion to him! Luigi must strap on the Poltergust G-00 and fight his way up this haunted hotel in the hopes that he can put the kibosh on the Master of Illusions's endgame before it's too late. The good news? This time, he won't be alone.

Twelve years after his first ghost-hunting adventure, Luigi is called back into action when an artifact known as the Dark Moon shatters, putting his mentor, Professor Elvin Gadd, in danger! However, his quest to retrieve the Dark Moon pieces lands him in the crosshairs of an old foe who's Hell-bent on revenge. Can the man in green save Evershade Valley...and the world?

Luigi has supposedly won a mansion in a contest he didn't even enter. But this strange reward soon turns into a nightmarish death trap, a death trap which has also managed to claim Mario! Armed with only a flashlight and a mere vacuum cleaner, and with spooky spirits and a vengeful foe at his back, Luigi must risk his life to find his big bro before it's too late. Because he made a vow to Mario, and no haunted mansions or spooky ghosts will compel him to break it.

A rewrite of the boss and ending of LM3. As Luigi fights the king of all boos one more time, secrets and truths become told. A lesson being that even when you get rid of the hurt, the scars that carried that hurt never fade.

A novel. After mysteriously winning a mansion, Luigi must use his courage and his customized vacuum to fight ghosts and unlock the mansion's secrets in order to look for his brother who has gone missing. *** "...And the grand prize is... a big, haunted mansion?" Luigi isn't used to winning. So when he gets a mysterious letter claiming that he's won an enormous mansion, he naturally gets excited... but there's just one little catch. There's ghosts all over the place, and the house is haunted! To make matters worse, Luigi's older brother, Mario, was last seen going into the mansion and never coming out. Luigi hates ghosts - he's deathly afraid of them, in fact - but he soon discovers it's more complicated than that. According to a kind old scientist living nearby, the mansion doesn't even exist at all! It turns out that this inventor, Professor E. Gadd, has been studying the ghosts for some time - and passes on a useful weapon to help Luigi in his quest. The Poltergust 3000 is no ordinary vacuum: it's a wearable tool capable of capturing specters! Luigi isn't exactly known for his bravery, but he sets out into the dark house to discover the truth. Can he overcome his obstacles - including himself - and find Mario before it's too late? Based on the original Nintendo title. ~This book won first place in @ZoeSpook's Fanfiction Awards 2018 contest!~
