Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon | March 24th NA, March 28th EU, March 20th JP

[VillageDweller]

Just finished the first mansion and played my first Wi-Fi session...
Yeah I was playing with a bunch of bishes who kept bumping into me or each other to try to get keys and stuff so they could get the rewards themselves.

On the first floor I sucked BUT THEN on the next 3 floors I wasn't spawned in the same room as the other 2 people so I got to get a lot of stuff without interruptions and basically took down some giant yellow ghost.
The top floor is hectic I don't think I even knew what was happening tbh

and the game was completely biased towards one guy because at the end EVERY TIME the reward went to him even if he didn't have the most ghosts or coins.
HOWEVER I came out on top and won. Hehehe.

Maybe he didn't know how. Great teamwork though, A+!

Well I wasnt going to go across the whole map to revive someone when there were still 3 ghost rooms on my side, and we only had 1:30 left.

 

[Mr. L]

Anybody wanna play some Hunter mode?

 

[Jake]

omg guys i can play it in 2 days ****

 

[Lord Of The Pootis]

I want this game but i also want something else

HARD TO DECIDE WHAT I SHALL COLLECT MONEY FOR!

 

[Mugh Hann]

Is it actually possible to complete a Thrill Tower game with all 4 players? Pink Luggy generally disconnects IMMEDIATELY after the game starts and the others tend to just leave over the course of the first few floors.
Also rug traps are the absolute worst ever i just want red coins help help dang it

 

[aikatears]

[ACking]

I'm trying to make this game last as long as possible or until AC new leaf comes out....

I haven't touched my game in weeks. xD for some reason when I play I press the buttons in a weird way and hurt the corners of my thumbs. ;-; I just got to the third mansion too. Want to see story but don't wanna spoil itttttt.

Last time I played I did some random matches over wi-fi in the middle of the night. Ended up playing with someone from japan to almost the 20th's floor of the scare scraper in hunter mode. I felt so bad when I had to quit because of my thumbs. I'd started the tower climb myself and I had to bail out because I didn't want to risk my thumbs being messed up again. xD

We'd started the tower with 4 members. They were blue. The Orange guy stopped doing anything after the first floor and just stood their motionless and the pink Luigi had no idea what he was doing and kept wandering into traps and wouldn't catch anything. Pink eventually bailed out around the fifth floor and orange finally vanished around floor 15. My Japanese companion would call me whenever he found ghosts so he and I just hung out following him the entire time. I think we only missed the red coins once.

Ugh. This game does NOT want to give me the three stars on C-1. I got the Boo, the gems, finished in 5:16, 13 ghosts, and 5 health lost, with 1,136 gold collected and it STILL won't give me the 3 stars.

I am having trouble on that too. -.-

Okay, I just got that one, but now I'm stuck on C-2. Go figure. It just does NOT want to give me the 3-stars.

The stars are calculated by the best scores in each one over multiple attempts, and not just one playthrough, right?

I thought it was just a single playthrough. I don't have anything to actually back that up though, just what I thought.

Stars are awarded for one play through and not a combination from different plays.

Here are some 3 Star ratings from those levels copied from IGN, that should help you to know what to aim for.

C-1

3 Stars - Time - 00:08:37, Ghosts - 13, Health Lost - 25, Gold - 1562

3 Stars - 10:45 Minutes / 13 Ghosts / -10 Health / 1539 Gold

3 Stars - 8:16 Minutes / 13 Ghosts / -25 Health / 1101 Gold

3 Stars - 12:02 Minutes / 13 Ghosts / -0 Health / 1356 Gold

C-2

3 Stars - Time - 00:12;27, Ghosts - 21, Health Lost - 70, Gold - 1515

3 Stars - 10:00 Minutes / 19 Ghosts / -20 Health / 1563 Gold

3 Stars - 14:21 / 24 Ghosts / -50 Health / 2386 Gold

3 Stars - 18:19 / 23 Ghosts / -50 Health / 2282 Gold

3 Stars - 14:08 Minutes / 24 Ghosts / -45 Health / 2839 Gold

3 Stars - 21:24 / 24 Ghosts / -130 Health / 2059 Gold

I found C-2 quite hard myself, those mummies did a lot if damage to me and that really affects your score.

 

[oath2order]

Yeah, I've been following on IGN.

I missed the hourglass thing and I also just found out about the golden spiders. Got a few more ghosts and 1,884 treasure. FINALLY three stars and now I can move to C-3

 

[oath2order]

Alright. So, I have now 100% completed all the mansions and got my two medals.

I eventually beat King Boo with the following stats
3 stars - 6:10 minutes / 1 ghost / -10 Health / 280 Gold

It took forever in the Treacherous Mansion. I love that mansion, but there was such a steep difficulty curve starting in E-3 and continuing to E-5.

All in all, a fairly fun game. I hated the balance beams in the Secret Mine. I forgot you could hold B to run across them and that's how it took me forever to get gold in all of those levels.

So yeah. Scarescraper time. Or not. I might put it off. I have one game left to beat on my backlog before NL comes out.
