This mission is unique to the Nintendo DS.
It's time to save Luigi! We have to be Mario for this mission. We go into Big Boo's Haunt and go up to the third floor using the Power Flower. Through the door we find the painting of Luigi. We jump inside and find ourselves on the carousel. We continuously hear Big Boo's laughter. A sign says "Big Boo's Haunt Eee hee hee... There are no exits. You may as well wander in here forever... Listen carefully. Can you hear me? If you find me, you're history. Eee hee hee..." There is a Red Coin in the carousel room. We will leave it alone for now, because we can't get all 8 at this point. There is a Red Coin mission in Goomboss Battle, but we can't them at this point either. There are four doors to choose from. If we choose correctly, we will see another area through the doorway and continue. If we choose incorrectly, we'll be sent back to the carousel to start over. In the carousel, take the door to the right. We walk into a gray room with four doors and a Mr. I. There are disappearing bridges to the center of the room and the other doors. We take the door to the left and find ourselves in another room with four doors. In the center is an item block, which we don't need right now. The floor tilts, so don't stand on it too long. We take the door on the right into a room with checkered platforms that move when we step on them. We get a 1-up on the way. We take the door on the left to continue. If you listen closely, the laughter seems to be coming from one side of the room, either the left or the right. We find ourselves in a gray room with a large dropaway bridge and three Boos. We run across it quickly, getting a 1-up in the process. At the end are a painting of Boo and more checkered platforms. We ride the checkered platforms to the top of the room, where there is a hole in the floor. We drop through to a room with a rug, checkered floor, a large mirror, and curtains. We can see Lakitu in the reflection. We approach the mirror and our reflection turns into Luigi! Big Boo, wearing a crown, appears beside us with a laugh. He says "Eee hee hee! I am Big Boo, the spookiest of all the spirits! I locked up the wimpy green mustache man. And I'll do the same to you! Eee hee hee! Since I'm a ghost, I can turn invisible in the mirror's reflection. You'll have to attack me from behind to defeat me. But you'll die of fright before that ever happens! And then you'll be one of us!" The battle starts. We take a hit from him, because he was invisible, but had a reflection in the mirror. We lined up the shot and ground-pounded him for the first hit. He fades into a blue flame and appears to us a little later, with no reflection. We easily get in the second hit. His reflection appears in the mirror and his shadow on our side. We get in the last hit and he vansihes, saying "Eee hee hee! You can never really kill a ghost! We always come back! See you again. Eee hee hee!" The key appears and our reflection turns back into Mario. The key is like the key we used to free Mario, but with Luigi's cap and an "L" in the head. We get the key and pose.
19 Coins, 6 Lives
Time to unlock the door to Luigi! We leave the courtyeard and go upstairs into the room with the locked doors. We approach the green door with the "L". We unlock the door, Mario walks in, a drum roll starts, and out flips Luigi, who flips his cap onto his head with a fanfare. We get a message: "You've rescued Luigi! Now he can pummel the enemies with panache! You'll see green caps everywhere. If you grab one in the course, you can turn into Luigi on the spot. As Luigi, you can run over water and slip through wire fences with agility." Welcome aboard, Luigi! You'll be a great addition to the team!
The next Star is Switch Star of the Bay.
