Showtime, phrased as Show Time in PAL regions, or C-Boss, is the boss mission of the Old Clockworks, and the third major boss mission of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. In it, Luigi must fight against the Overset Possessor, who possesses a large clock atop the Belfry. The possessor will send various enemies in waves to fight Luigi. This boss is much like a gauntlet, and can be difficult if the player is not prepared or overwhelmed by enemies.
These missions do not have any Boos to collect.

Mission description[]
"We finally have everything we need to reach the top of the Clock Tower! But first, let's check the security image that the Toad brought with him."
Mission objectives[]
Overall Goal[]
- Open the Clock Tower Gate, and get to the top of the Clock Tower. Then find and retrieve the Dark Moon piece.
Other Goals[]
- Find and retrieve the Dark Moon piece.
Plot[]
E. Gadd and Luigi inspect a security image taken by the yellow Toad assistant. Upon viewing the image, they see ghosts and Boos in the Movements, alongside the Overset Possessor in possession of the fourth Dark Moon piece, a painting showing a familiar hat, and a shadow of a giant Boo with a large crown with an ominous purple glow coming from the very limits of the image. With all that information, the professor assumes that the ghosts in Evershade Valley, as well as the Boos, are working together all while being commanded by someone. Noting that their mission has not changed, E. Gadd hands over the clock hands to Luigi to go with the rotor in order to repair the Clock Tower Gate, and proceeds to pixelate him there.
After being sent to the Clock Tower Gate, Luigi must go to the clock face and put the hands on the face, and the rotor on the peg next to the face. After doing so, twist the rotor so that the clock reads 7:30 (the big hand pointing down the middle and the small hand pointing at the seventh marking). The gate will open, and Luigi can finally enter the Movements. To get up to the ledge, turn the small valves to raise the grated platform. Keep turning the valves (collecting treasure along the way) until you are able to reach the ledge. Go through the door at the top to enter the Belfry. Walk forward until a spring shoots Luigi up.
Luigi next to the Overset Possessor
When Luigi get shot to the top of the Belfry, he'll come out of the large clock face and have a harsh landing. When he closes the hatch, the Overset Possessor will come from behind and scare Luigi. He will then possess the clock tower, and make the hands of the clock spin around to read exactly 12:00. He will then go inside the clock.
Boss battle[]
Luigi in the gauntlet against 5 Greenies
This boss is split up into three phases, each with four waves of enemies. The clock hands will spin around to the next hour (from 12:00 - 1:00 - 2:00, etc.) until the fourth hour. After beating the fourth wave of the phase, the possessor will appear, and Luigi has the chance to attack. As the hands spin to the next hour, they can hurt Luigi. Luigi will have one "hour" on the clock to defeat the wave, and if he doesn't the wave starts over. However, Luigi can move the clock hands back giving him more time. Beware though, because he can also move them forward, giving him less time. A chart detailing the battle is shown below:
| Hour | Enemies |
|---|---|
| Phase 1 (Hours 1-4) | Only makes Luigi fight the ghosts. |
| 1:00 | One Greenie. |
| 2:00 | Three Greenies. |
| 3:00 | Five Greenies. |
| 4:00 | Two Slammers |
| After 4:00 | Luigi gets a shot at the Overset Possessor. Note that the two parts of the clock face will spin during the time the Possesser is out. |
| Phase 2 (Hours 5-8) | The clock face will be covered in sand, making it hard to move. |
| 5:00 | Ten Beetles. |
| 6:00 | Three Sneakers. |
| 7:00 | Three Greenies carrying hammers and metal shields. |
| 8:00 | Three Mummy Greenies. |
| After 8:00 | Luigi gets another shot at the Overset Possessor. |
| Phase 3 (Hours 9-12) | The clock hands will be burning, meaning Luigi cannot touch them. They can still be moved though. |
| 9:00 | Fifteen Beetles. |
| 10:00 | Five Creepers. |
| 11:00 | Eleven Robotic Bombs. |
| 12:00 | One Greenie, one Slammer, five Beetles, one Sneaker, one Greenie equipped with a hammer and shield, and two Robotic Bombs. |
| After 12:00 | Luigi gets to defeat the Overset Possessor and collect the fourth Dark Moon piece. |

Aftermath[]
Luigi returns to the Bunker and unloads the Poltergust 5000 of all the ghosts, including the Possessor, into the Vault, and proceed to purify the fourth Dark Moon piece, lifting more fog across the valley. E. Gadd assumes that the more Dark Moon pieces the duo uncover, the more he believes someone shattered the Dark Moon purposely. They both check the map to see another new location has been marked, known as the Secret Mine. E. Gadd notes it is the coldest part of Evershade Valley and hopes that Luigi brought his winter coat with him.
Trivia[]
- If Luigi tries to leave and not open the Clock Tower Gate, E.Gadd will call him 3 times telling Luigi to open the Clock Tower Gate.
- The Pixelator result screen is a darker shade of green and is missing its lighting frame. It is unknown why this happens.
