5 Reasons Why Luigi’s Mansion Is Still Beloved Even Today

That Iconic Soundtrack (And Overall Atmosphere)

The Luigi’s Mansion theme song is synonymous with the GameCube. It’s reappeared in countless games, and if you asked any Nintendo fan to hum the jingle they’d gladly do it. When the music goes quiet and Luigi is all alone, he hums the tune nervously to add to the tension.

Lighting adds to the mood as well, as areas plagued by ghosts are dark as night and those that have been cleared light up. Still, even those lighted rooms feel kind of creepy… everything is just so perfectly placed it feels paranormal. Graphically Luigi’s Mansion holds up pretty well by today’s standards, and definitely is one of the prettiest GameCube games out there.
