Luigi’s Mansion 3 Guide: How to Get Rank S

This portion of the Luigi’s Mansion 3 guide explains how to get s-rank at the end of the game. Like every other Luigi’s Mansion game, you’re given a grade at the end. In Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon you were graded on each level. But Luigi’s Mansion 3 works similarly to the first Luigi’s Mansion game. You’re not graded until the very end. While these results haven’t been thoroughly tested yet, here’s what we know so far.

Rank S: TBD

Rank A: TBD

Rank B: $62,000 — confirmed amount but the range is still unknown

Rank C: Under $30,000 — confirmed amount but the range is still unknown

Rank D: TBD

Luigi’s Mansion 3 Review

I’m looking forward to the new Ghostbusters movie coming in 2020, but I’ll be surprised if it’s as much fun as Luigi’s Mansion 3. The anxiety-riddled brother straps the vacuum pack back on for the first time since 2013’s Dark Moon for 3DS and headlines one of the funniest and most charming Nintendo games on the Switch yet.

Setting aside the nitpicking fact that Luigi and his friends are checking in at a hotel this time rather than an actual mansion, Luigi’s Mansion 3 had me smiling and laughing at its adorable sense of humor right off the bat. From Mario and Luigi’s goofy half-English, half-gibberish conversations to communicating with ghost-sucking vacuum backpack inventor Professor E. Gadd through a Virtual Boy (complete with a red-tinted interface and a joke about how “it’ll sell millions”), among other examples, Luigi’s latest adventure is downright funny.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 Guide: The Great Stage Walkthrough

This portion of the Luigi’s Mansion 3 guide contains The Great Stage walkthrough, all Great Stage gem locations (which cannot be completed until later in the game), and tips and tricks to defeat the piano playing boss at the end so you can rescue the trapped toad.

While The Great Stage is one of the smaller hotel floors, it has one of the harder boss battles in the game. Unlike the last few bosses, this piano player can’t be approached directly or immediately. Still, there are some attack patterns to learn and methods to try out that will have this classical musician switching to the blues in no time.

How to Find Boos

Note: the game will introduce you to the concept of hidden boos but a boo will never appear on the floor during a main objective. For example, if it’s your first time on floor 13 there will be no boo on floor 13. BUT if you’ve been to floor 13 before and return, the boo will be there somewhere.

Luigi’s Mansion 3 Guide: Recover E.Gadd Briefcase Walkthrough

This portion of the Luigi’s Mansion 3 guide contains a walkthrough for your first official objectives. After installing the elevator tracker, you’ll need to practice contacting Professor E.Gadd by opening up your menu and connecting to the Professor E.Gadd Hotline. Once that’s done, you’ll have your main objective: recover E. Gadd’s Briefcase.

These objectives will take you through the Basement (B!), Grand Lobby (Floor 1), and part of the Mezzanine (Floor 2). Near the end of this mission, you’ll have to defeat the Maid Boss who has swallowed Professor E.Gadd’s briefcase. After returning to the lab, Professor E.Gadd will give you the gift (and curse) of being able to summon Gooigi.
