Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon -- Treacherous Mansion - E-3 A Train to Catch

Gadd's processed the security camera image, and it's the most recent one yet. This time we can clearly see the painting the Boos have- it's Mario. How this happened is unknown. There's a train in here, making this part of the Train Exhibit in the mansion. There's a miniature train model in the room. King Boo is also in the room, and we can see all of him, not just his shadow. He turns around and laughs, disrupting the image. There's a huge signal in the Train Exhibit. Gadd thinks Mario might be able to help us fight King Boo. Gadd gives us a makeshift rotor to operate the staircase in the Inner Courtyard.

Front Entrance
We land in the Front Entrance. We need to go to the Inner Courtyard. If you're looking for treasure, go through all the hallways and restore gargoyles for extra cash.

Inner Courtyard
Install the rotor and spin the staircase so it reaches the landing on the right. The door leads to the East Corridor.

East Corridor
There are coins on the ceiling and a trail of coins leading to a fake door. If you check it out, a Strong Greenie and some Creepers will appear. The door on the right that's not directly across from the door to the Inner Courtyard takes you to the Nautical Exhibit.

Nautical Exhibit
It's foggy in here. There's a Strong Slammer spinning a helm, which flips the part of the wall with the E-Gate. Blow air on the open porthole to close it, then vacuum the fog. You can now vacuum the Strong Slammer, along with the Strong Greenie, and regular Greenie wearing a dive helmet. Ignore the octopus in the corner: it will hurt you. Activate the E-Gate. Grab a bucket of water from the Dark Age and Jungle Exhibits and place it at the stern of ship, where the life ring is. The helm will move out of the way so you can go outside. The rest of the ship is outside, with a treasure chest containing a diamond. Flip the E-Gate it to the other side using the helm. This will place the E-Gate in the Study next door, which is where you should go.

Study
There's an invisible book on the table to the right of the E-Gate. Restore it and replace it on the bookshelf. A Strong Poltergeist will push the book off the shelf and take it away. Gadd calls and says we need the book to open the passageway. Gadd says the ghost's on the same floor on the west side of the mansion. There are balloon plants in the room. The ceiling's fairly low here, so why would they be here? They're here so we can get lots and lots of treasure. Grab a balloon plant and go through the E-Gate.

Dark Age Exhibit
Use the balloon to float to the second floor. To the left are some painting which give you lots of coins. To the right is a bed with a gold balloon plant. This will make coins appear in a Boo shape. Collect them all to make a treasure chest appear with Booreaucrat. Booreaucrat has 40 HP. Treasure hunter, read on. Those who want to complete the mission, skip ahead to the Inner Courtyard.

Front Entrance
Take a balloon plant here. Fly up to the upper level, where gargoyles are. There's an invisible one on the left that has lots of money. One on the right is holding a blue book. Take it to the Dark Age Exhibit and place it on the bookshelf for a diamond.

Ice Age Exhibit
The wooly mammoth has moved. Pull its tail to make the fish jump out of the water all at once for lots of money. Take a balloon here and float up. On the left side of the room is a gold balloon. Follow the trail of coins to make a treasure chest with a diamond. The air currents will make this a little difficult. There's an invisible treasure chest where the wooly mammoth used to be. It has lots of money.

Ancient Exhibit
There's lots of money here, so bring a balloon. At the very top is a trail of coins and gold bars. The treasure chest also has lots of money. The gold balloon will make rings of coins appear in the center of the room. Go in the opposite direction of the coins to collect them faster. The treasure chest has lots of gold birds that will give you lots of money if you stun them.

Jungle Exhibit
Bring a balloon here, as well. Float up near the river and go left. The gold balloon is here. There are four rings of coins all over the room. This will get you a diamond. The door on the left leads to the East Balcony, where there are gold frogs and a treasure chest with money.

Inner Courtyard
If you went treasure hunting, Gadd will call you to go to the Space Exhibit. Spin the staircase so you can reach the door on the left. The door leads to the West Corridor.

West Corridor
There are three Creepers here. Once the lights are on gold spiders will appear. The door to the Space Exhibit is invisible, so restore it. There are other places to explore, if you like.

Archive
The room's fairly empty, aside from four boxes. A laugh will come from them. Check the out in the correct order: lower left, upper right, upper left, lower right to make a Gold Greenie appear.

Aviation Exhibit
There's a hot air balloon and a model plane. Spin the propeller and follow the plane around for lots of money. Remove a ballast from the hot air balloon and a Strong Hider and two Strong Greenies will appear. Stun them immediately so you can vacuum all three at once. When you're done, remove the other ballast for a diamond.

Space Exhibit
The telescope is rattling. Check it out to see the Strong Poltergeist on another planet. When you're done checking it out, you'll find yourself on that planet. The rings will start spinning and the stars will start glowing. He'll throw one at you. Stun him when you can, and vacuum him up as much as possible. He'll make the rings spin faster, then make bombs come out of the planet. Avoid them. He has 200 HP. Once you defeat him, you'll return to the Space Exhibit with the book. There's an E-Gate in the rocket. If you pull the cord from the other rocket, a Gold Greenie will laugh at you. Get a piece of wood from the Jungle Exhibit, light it in the Ancient Exhibit, and use it to light the cord. The rocket will take off through the ceiling. Leave and return. The rocket crashed and the Gold Greenie is stunned. Take the book back to the study to put it on the bookshelf. The door to the Train Exhibit will appear.

Train Exhibit
There are two Strong Hiders and a Strong Sneaker here. Once you're done, use the Strobulb on the train engine for lots of money. Restore the missing piece of track and a train will appear. Hop aboard. It will take you for a loop on the track for a diamond. Check the miniature train model and you'll see lots of Boos around Mario's painting. Gadd calls, with an idea on how to get into the train model. He returns us to the Bunker.

Clear Time: 56:48
Ghosts Captured: 18
Health Lost: 126
Treasure: 2716
Silver Rank

Gadd assures us we'll get Mario back, but he thinks the painting would do well at an auction. There's a camera in the train model that we might be able to use to pixelate there directly. Of course, it's dangerous.
