History[]
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon[]
The Dark Moon resides in the sky of Evershade Valley, and it has the ability to keep all the ghosts that live in Evershade Valley in a peaceful state. Knowing this, E. Gadd used this opportunity to study his work with several ghosts called Greenies. However, at some point, King Boo arrives and uses the power of his crown to break the moon into six pieces, which covers all of Evershade Valley in a mysterious purple fog and turns the ghosts aggressive. E. Gadd is forced to flee the Gloomy Manor and calls Luigi to help him out once again, bringing the initially unwilling hero to him via a teleportation system known as the Pixelator. When Luigi meets up with E. Gadd in his bunker, he reveals he had found a piece of the Dark Moon, but it had been corrupted by some energy which disrupts its ability to pacify ghosts. E. Gadd uses a special machine with brushes to scrub the corrupting energy off the Dark Moon piece which clears away a part of the fog and reveals the Gloomy Manor.
Luigi sets out to recover the pieces and restore the Dark Moon, battling numerous ghosts along the way. With each piece obtained, E. Gadd removes corrupting energy which gradually causes the fog covering Evershade Valley to lift and reveals new mansions for Luigi to explore. The next five pieces of the Dark Moon are found to be guarded by powerful ghosts known as Possessors in each of these mansions. After Luigi collects the final Dark Moon piece from the final Possessor ghost, he is summoned back to E. Gadd's bunker. However, only the Dark Moon piece makes it back to the bunker after it and Luigi are pixelated. King Boo uses his power to drag Luigi into his own illusion. After Luigi defeats King Boo, the illusion dissipates and he frees his brother, Mario, who King Boo had captured. Luigi and the Toads then proceed reunite the pieces, restoring the Dark Moon and returning the ghosts to their friendly selves.
Luigi's Mansion 3[]
In Luigi's Mansion 3, on the 15F - Master Suite, a diorama of the Gloomy Manor with the Dark Moon above it can be seen. It can only be examined once, and during the time it is examined, a Golden Goob appears and scares Luigi. When King Boo is stunned in his battle, purple moons daze around his head, which heavily resemble the Dark Moon.
