1. Prologue
[Luigi awakens underground, surrounded in the darkness by plumbing and confused about how he got there. He doesn't remember anything and while looking around is startled by a ghost, he runs screaming deeper for a pipe nearby.]
<Cue introductory room. Classic level design from Super Mario Bros. 1 (World 1-2) with added ghost chase. Attempting to take the shortcut earns Luigi a 1up. The pipe leads to the same room as the one below, however.>
[Luigi stops to catch his breath and feels his 2DS Thriller, given to him by Professor E. Gadd, vibrating as a familiar song plays. Luigi answers it.]
E. Gadd: Well, well, well, thought I'd lost you. The 2DS Thriller gets horrible reception down there. You appear to be in quite a lot of trouble, Luigi. Someone or something broke into my lab, no small feat mind you, and made a mess of things. You probably know well by now that the ghosts have been released once more. Yes, even King Boo and his minions are gone. I'd wager that they were behind your kidnapping. After vengeance, I'd assume. Don't worry, my boy, I will provide you assistance.
As for where you are now, you appear to be in a separate dimension, a giant maze crafted for your defeat by the spooks. Unfortunately I can do little for you until you find a stronger signal. Watch the signal bars on your screen for signal strength. For now, you must utilize your flashlight and use it to startle the ghosts. It will buy you some time. The flashlight has limited battery power, so you must use it wisely. If you run across any coins, I have modified your flashlight to use them to recharge. All of my inventions are environmentally friendly, after all!
I'd bet that the ghosts will take your flashlight from you and leave you vulnerable if you aren't careful, so stay sharp!
[E. Gadd signs off and Luigi puts the 2DS away.]
2. Signal Get
[E. Gadd is buzzing Luigi on the 2DS.]
E. Gadd: Luigi! You did it! The signal is strong enough for me to send you the Poltergust 3000! Set the 2DS on the ground and back up!
[Luigi sets the 2DS on the ground and backs away. A fanfare plays and the a portal is opened from it, bringing with it the Poltergust 3000. But it is caught in midair by ghosts and carried off. Luigi picks up the 2DS.]
E. Gadd: Oh dear! They remember the machine, you should have been quicker on your feet! Oh well... I'm sure you'll be able to find it if you open the item boxes. When you do you should remember how to use it, it's like riding a bike! There has been an upgrade though! My research indicates that these ghosts are made up of Eekto Matter, so I've modified the machine to harvest it from captured ghosts. I'd like for you to collect some and send it back to me for investigation.
[E. Gadd signs off and Luigi puts the 2DS away.]
