Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon -- Haunted Towers - B-4 Pool Party

Gadd has unscrambled the image Toad brought back. In it, we see a Boo handing a pink ghost a key that looks like it could open the Hollow Tree. Gadd's never seen the pink ghosts before. A couple of Boos are holding a painting that looks like a pair of shoes with legs. It also seems the Boos are encouraging bad behavior in the other ghosts. The image was taken at the Rooftop Pool, which is where we need to go.

Entrance
There's some coins in the purple plants in the planters. Check the tree on the right for a Gold Greenie.

Courtyard
There are two carnivorous plants here and no way to deal with them. Avoid them and go into the Tower Lobby.

Tower Lobby
There's a large red flower hanging from the ceiling. It will try to hurt you. Get close to it to make it slam into the floor, then vacuum it up. It will give you a little money. Go into the Plant Nursery.

Plant Nursery
There's a plant growing in the middle of the floor, and another red flower on the ceiling. Restore the treasure chest in the back planter for a lot of money. Near the right door is a valve. Spin it to get some water running and water the plant. It will grow into a plant that acts as a staircase, like in the Botany Lab. This leads to the Rumpus Room. Before you go there, go on the Skybridge and get rid of the red flowers for an emerald.

Rumpus Room
This is a child's playroom, and there's a large, creepy doll in the center of the floor. Restore the shelf on the right wall, near the door. The doll's head will turn slightly when you're in front of it's face. If you vacuum up the curtains, money will come out of the light. Walk around the doll so that her face follows you. This will make the head pop off and reveal an emerald. Look into the one lit window in the doll house. It will show a certain jack-in-the-box box rattling. Open it and there will be lots of Greenies in it. Vacuum them up. The door leads to the Family Room.

Family Room
There is a kitchen area and sitting room here. Restore a cabinet in the kitchen next to the sink for lots of money. Go into the sitting room. There's a missing portrait in the middle of the back wall. Restore it to make Boo B. Trap appear. This Boo has 25 HP. Go through the door on the left for the Solarium.

Solarium
We can't access the stairs here just yet. Restore the treasure chest on the table for an emerald. Near the treasure chest is a red ball like the one on the lawn mower. This makes the stairs appear. Go up the stairs, being careful to avoid the corner of the floor on the left closest to the screen, as it will drop down. The door leads to the West Bedroom.

West Bedroom
This bedroom is emptier than the one in Gloomy Manor. That is, until you spin the ceiling fan, which moves the wall back to reveal three beds and three Hiders engaged in a pillow fight. Pull off the bed sheets to find them. Once you find one, the beds will shuffle, so be sure you know where the other two Hiders are. Defeating all three will give you a key to the door on the right. This leads to the West Hall.

West Hall
We can't go through the back door, so leave through the right door to the Crow's Nest.

Crow's Nest
Go across the bridge and stun crows for money. Go into the Conservatory on the other side.

Conservatory
There are coins behind the organ, which is covered in vines. Use the balloon plant to ascend. Stay away from the center of the room, as there is a spiky chandelier. If you go to the right, restore the door to enter a special area with 8 Red Coins. You have 15 seconds to navigate the maze. Loop around the outer stairs, then finish at the top of the tall stairs. This will give you an emerald. As an extra challenge, pick up a yellow balloon to make a trail of coins around the chandelier. Get them all for a treasure chest with lots of money. When you're done, take a balloon to the left. Don't land on the rug, as it will drop through. Go through the door to the Crow's Nest and get the key from the painting. Return to the West Hall and open the door to the West Bathroom.

West Bathroom
A Slammer, two Greenies, and a purple ghost are here. The purple ghost will trap you, so use the Circle Pad to get free. Pull the toilet paper for an emerald. Check out the pool chair to go to the Rooftop Pool.

Rooftop Pool
Now that we're at the pool, we have to find the special key. Restore the frog statue on the left and it will spit the key into the pool. Go into the pool to get it. As soon as Luigi grabs the key, he knows he's not along. A pink ghost scares him and takes the key. There are about four of them. You'll see their movements with the ripples in the water. Once you defeat them all, the key appears on the diving board. Once Luigi gets it, a Polterpup appears, takes it away, then flings it out the window. Gadd's going to bring us back.

Clear Time: 35:07
Ghosts Captured: 17
Health Lost: 166
Treasure: 1384
Bronze Rank

Gadd says he can't find the Polterpup on the Parascope, but we must recover the key at all costs. The pink ghosts are called Sneakers and the purple ghosts are called Creepers.
