The other day I was watching a video about flash Mario games, and I remembered one specific game I had several years ago, I don't even know where did I get it, I guess it was in one of those CDs everyone had at the time which was full of flash games/animations, fail videos, Spider-Man wallpapers, and others. It was called Luigi's New Mansion, I have no clue of when it was made, but I had this when I was like 10 so it's pretty old. This is what I remember about it:
Graphics: It was a mish mash of graphics, the Luigi sprite was ripped from Super Mario World, but other graphics looked like they were made on Microsoft Paint
Music: Most of the music (at least for what I can remember) was taken from Mario games, though they sounded a bit different, so I don't know if it was a compression issue or if the creator kinda remixed them to make them sound slightly different
Controls: The controls were pretty basic, you moved with the arrows and I think you jumped with the space bar...? I'm not too sure about that. I think you also needed one more key but I completely forgot which one
Story: The game's plot is that Luigi (again, the sprite was the Super Mario World one) was walking around some green field or whatever, the music that played on this portion was the Flower Garden theme from Yoshi's Island, this one:
...but again it sounded slightly different. Anyway, he stumbles upon a creepy, realistic looking, extremely weird tiki mask (I remember which music played on this part, but I don't know its name or which Mario game is it from) and it offers Luigi to sell him a mansion for $100, and thus, the first part of the game starts. Your objective here is to collect $100, I think there was a time limit but I'm not sure about that. Instead of coins, the currency was represented on green bills, one bill equals 10 bucks, so you needed 10 bills to save up the $100, I believe there were more than 10 bills but again, not sure about this. The layout was pretty simple, with only like one or two bills tricky to get, mostly because of the controls, not because it was actually hard. The music on this part I believe was the obstacle course theme, also from Yoshi's Island, this one:
...although I'm not 100% sure about this one. When you finally get all the $100 it inmediately cuts to Luigi giving the money to the tiki mask with this fanfare from Yoshi's Island playing:
Now we're in the mansion, and as you probably guessed, the mansion is haunted with Boos (I believe the sprites were also from Super Mario World), the music on this part I think was the haunted house theme from Super Mario World, this one:
You're defenseless on this segment, so you can't do nothing but dodge the Boos. After reaching the upper part of the mansion, Luigi meets his new neighbor, Yoshi (I seem to remember that Yoshi looked pretty strange, so I don't think it was the Super Mario World nor Yoshi's Island sprite), who gives him a special gun to kill the Boos, so now you have to walk around the house again, this time to the lower part again, killing the Boos
And that's all I can remember. It was a extremely short game so there wasn't too much after that point. The ending was that Luigi gets rid of all the Boos and he's able to live a normal life in his new mansion. I tried to find a picture of the tiki mask but I couldn't find that exact mask. I couldn't find a screenshot of the game either. Finally, I think I might still have this, but if I do, it's stored in a DVD that might be all scratched and I don't even know if it exists. I might check those out later. But in the meantime, does anybody remember this game or where to find it? It's pretty crappy but I'd like to check it out again, for the sake of nostalgia
