Luigi's Mansion

“Unbelievable,” Luigi huffed under his breath. “It’s a-like we were kicked back at the very start of our trip to rescue Mario and the others….”
“Kinda like the whole point of us being ‘sent back’ to Yoshi’s Island, then to World Seven and finally Luigi’s Mansion,” Yoshi replied flatly, knowing that, as Kamek had pointed out, he’d already given hints about the foes they were set to face and they had been too slow to figure it all out.
“You seriously didn’t see through my little hints?” Kamek said tauntingly, as if giving confirmation to Yoshi’s silent assumption....

Get out of Yoshi's body, you kingly pain in the butt!" Luigi hissed.
Yoshi (or rather, King Boo inside Yoshi's body) laughed. "Defeat me, and you'll be sure to get him back." The possessed Yoshi leveled an evil look at the green plumber. "But I wonder...can you defeat your own friend in the process?"
Luigi aimed the nozzle of his Poltergust at Yoshi—feeling uncomfortable as he did so; he couldn't imagine the thought of kicking the butt of the very person who kicked bad guy butt with him.
Calm down, Luigi said to himself, after all, it's not like that's really Yoshi, right? Deep inside him,...

“Bowser!” Luigi and Yoshi gasped in unison.
“Like no other,” the Koopa King said, as if to confirm their assumption.
The silence dragged eerily. It was hot, considering Bowser’s Castle had a reputation for being in a rather volcanic atmosphere. But despite the heat, and the constant surge of lava that occurred around the castle’s outside walls every now and then, the eerie silence made the whole scene seem rather…chilly for the heroes.
Bowser grinned evilly at the green plumber, causing Luigi to blink and suddenly shrink from the pose of where he stood.
“Hello, Luigi, I’ll...

Luigi sighed as he walked into the door. He could only think of Yoshi, his green dinosaur friend, back there. He thought of how brave he was, to put himself in between him and Kamek’s shot. Not just brave, utterly selfless—sacrificing in the place of a friend had always been considered a core act of nobility. He wondered idly what would have happened if his pal hadn’t done that….
Luigi shook his head. No, that wouldn’t have happened, he argued with himself. Yoshi gave me this chance; he knew that I’d have to face Bowser, he knew that it would have to be me who would face him in...

“What’s up, pal?” Yoshi asked in a hushed voice as he practically limped toward his equally battered friend.
“It’s all the same,” Luigi whispered, more to himself than to Yoshi; for all he knew, it was as if the green dinosaur wasn’t there. “Since the very beginning, it has always been the same.”
“What is?”
“The soil key-eyes monster back in Yoshi’s Island, Lakithunder from World Seven, King Boo from Luigi’s Mansion, and finally the labyrinth that required the jewel that got us past Bowser’s security system…”
“And…?”
“They all followed through the same...
