The Courtyard (Japanese: 裏庭 Backyard) is an area behind Luigi's Mansion, visited as the first room of Area Three during the events of Luigi's Mansion.
Story[]
The Courtyard is accessed after defeating Bogmire. When first entering the Courtyard, Flying Fish and (despite there being no ceilings) Ceiling Surprises and Purple Bombers can be found here but can be sucked up to return the lights to the Courtyard. A Toad can be found nearby in an old cabin. This Toad saves Luigi's progress and tells him to go to the Bottom of the Well. On the way, Luigi inspected a birdhouse, which spat out Mario's Letter, the second item he would need to take to Madame Clairvoya.
The Courtyard has many crooked dead trees spread throughout it. Then (from left to right) there is a statue that looks like Slim Bankshot, a large fountain with plants surrounding it (the plants can be watered for money and hearts), a well which leads to the Bottom of the Well, a birdhouse which has Mario's Letter, an old cabin with a Toad inside it, and another statue. let it be noted that if you clear out all the ceiling surprises the area will become full of light and you will receive a chest.

Trivia[]
- If you say "Goodbye!" to the Toad, he'll say, "You're a true Mario brother!" and he'll give out a faintly heard "Mama mia!". He's likely being sarcastic.
- If near the well, Mario can be heard saying, "Hey Luigi, What's the holdup?"
- If you have the Ice Elemental Medal, you can freeze the fountain. However, that will prevent the water Elemental Ghost ghost from appearing. It'll return to normal after you go through two more rooms and come back.
- If you use the Game Boy Horror to look at the back wall of the mansion, you will see the same type of windows as in the Conservatory and the Rec Room. This is to be expected, as those are the rooms on the other side of that wall. If you look above these windows, you will see identical windows on the second floor. However, if you go to the corresponding rooms on the second floor (Nana's Room and the Tea Room) the windows on the inside are a different size and shape, being wider and more rectangular.
