Super Smash Bros. Melee

Luigi5 Super Smash Bros.

While Super Smash Bros. Melee doesn't directly feature any element from the Luigi's Mansion series, Luigi's portrayed here as a coward character, likely referencing his behaviour in Luigi's Mansion, and the game is also mentioned in his character trophy.

The game also features a Luigi's Mansion trophy, listed in the unrapresented series:

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

January 31, 2008

Luigi5 Super Smash Bros.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl features a stage based on the titular building from Luigi's Mansion. There also are four trophies (Luigi's character trophy and three other ones), a sticker and a music track from the game. Note that Luigi's Mansion is considered part of the Mario series in Super Smash Bros. games, so all this content is listed as part of the Mario series in the game itself.

Additionally Luigi received many new animations and voice clips referencing his coward personality as depicted in Luigi's Mansion. This includes the first and last poses of his up taunt, which reference the V sign when he grabs a key and a shock pose that bears resemblance to the cover art of the game.

Luigi's Mansion stage

The Mansion's exterior look.

Based on the titular mansion, it's unlocked after playing as Luigi three times in brawls.

The stage takes place inside a scaled down version of the mansion, but its exterior can be seen if all charachters are outside. The mansion has five rooms based on rooms from the original game: the Foyer (center), the Study (top right), the Nursery (top left), the Ball Room (bottom right) and the Kitchen (bottom left).

The stage also features four pillars that can be destroied causing the collapse of a portion of mansion. While it collapses Boos can be briefly seen flying away. Once its all collapsed, it magically rebuilds itself. This collapsing doesn't seem to directly reference the original game.

Luigi		NES Mario Bros. GCN Luigi's Mansion	Mario's younger twin brother. He's shy and quiet and overshadowed by his sibling, but he's actually quite talented. His jumping ability surpasses Mario's, and his all- around skills let him overcome any problem. He's a bit cowardly and really afraid of ghosts. Even so, in Luigi's Mansion, he was charged with cleaning up a whole house full of spirits.	Clear Classic Mode as Luigi
Poltergust 3000		GCN Luigi's Mansion	A vacuum cleaner developed by Professor Elvin Gadd of the E. Gadd Science Corporation. He gives it to Luigi, who uses it to trap ghosts in a haunted mansion after stunning them with his flashlight. It also absorbs elements like water, ice, or fire that it can then shoot out. An optional accessory to this fine product is a machine that converts the trapped ghosts into portraits.	Available in the Coin Launcher, Adventure and All-Star places, or given by Celebi
Luigi's Mansion		GCN Luigi's Mansion	A big, creepy mansion in the heart of a gloomy forest. It was given to Luigi, who found its many rooms (including a dining room, kitchen, rec room, projection room, music room, and tea room) were infested with ghosts. Luigi was supposed to meet Mario here, but his bro went missing. Not known for his bravery, Luigi gathered his courage and set out to explore his new home.	Available in the Coin Launcher, Adventure and All-Star places, or given by Celebi
Ghosts		GCN Luigi's Mansion	Ghost variations that appeared throughout Luigi's Mansion. They don't have the spectral power required to manifest any truly unusual ghostly phenomena, so they rely on such pedestrian physical methods as punching Luigi to frighten him. There are also some rare varieties that are very rich and drop a lot of coins.	Available in the Coin Launcher, Adventure and All-Star places, or given by Celebi

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and for Wii U

September 13, 2014 (3DS); November 21, 2014 (Wii U)

Luigi5 Super Smash Bros.

Being alternate versions of the same game, these two feature mostly the same content, except for stages and trophies and including some different modes.

The Luigi's Mansion stage returns from Super Smash Bros. Brawl only in the Wii U version of the game unchanged, but there also are some new elements.

Poltergust 5000

Luigi ready to use the Poltergust 5000.

Luigi returns as a playable character in the game, but has a new Final Smash move based on Luigi's Mansion, which replaces his Negative Zone move from the previous game.
The move is called Poltergust 5000 and has Luigi bringing out his signature Poltergust 5000 weapon from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and using it to suck opponents in, and then shooting them away. The move also sucks in surrounding items, and some of these are also shoot out, potentially damaging opponents.

Smash Tour

The Ghosts (Luigi's Mansion) item.

A new mode in this version of the game is Smash Tour, a board game-like mode where players move their Mii around a board and then battle opponents that they meet. The mode features various items in the form of trophies that players can pick up with various effects. One of these items is Ghosts (Luigi's Mansion), that when used allows the user to walk through stationary opponents without triggering a battle.

Trophies

The two versions of the game feature various trophies from the Luigi's Mansion series, or trophies that menion Luigi games as a source or in the description. They're once again all listed in the Mario category.

We included all the Luigi character trophies because his two main trophies in the Wii U version list Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon as a game source for the character, even though he's mainly considered a Mario character and his other two trophies don't list games.
The Luigi (With Poltergust 5000) trophy, being classified as "Fighter related" rather than "series related", is technically about the item Luigi uses in his Final Smash (the NTSC name is wrong, also based on the model), however the item's origin is obviously the Luigi's Mansion series, and also the reference to the Poltergust 3000 from the first game is worth noting.

Music tracks

Alongside the Luigi's Mansion stage, the Luigi's Mansion Theme track also returns from Brawl unchanged, but there are two new tracks, played on that stage:

• Luigi's Mansion Series Medley: a medley of pieces from the Luigi's Mansion games, including "Luigi's Mansion Theme" from Luigi's Mansion with "Catching Ghost" and "Mission Complete" from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

December 7, 2018

Luigi5 Super Smash Bros.

This game once again features a few content from the Luigi's Mansion series, but it's all listed as part of the Mario series in-game.

Luigi returns as a playable character and now has a new grab move where he uses the Poltergust G-00 from Luigi's Mansion 3 to shoot a plunger attached to a rope acting as a tether grab; this gives his grab longer range and contributes to differentiate even more Luigi from Mario. The new weapon is also used in his Final Smash, which is renamed accordingly from Poltergust 5000 to Poltergust G-00, although its effect is unchanged.

The Luigi's Mansion stage also returns basically unchanged from the previous game, but there now is the possibility to turn off stage hazards, which makes the pillars intangible, therefore making it impossible to collapse the building.

There also are four spirits and four music tracks from the series.

Spirits

The game includes four Spirits from Luigi's Mansion, one of them obtained by enhancing a different spirit, one summoning, and the last two are obtained by winning the respective Spirit Battle; these two can alternatively be unlocked by buying them from the in-game shop for 1000G.

The game lists the origin for these four spirits as "Luigi's Mansion Series", but when sorting Spirits by series they are still left with Mario spirits. The artwork for all four spirits is taken from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

Originally Professor Elvin Gadd was Spirit #119, Poltergust 5000 was Spirit #120, and King Boo was Spirit #121, however King Boo was moved to #49 with Update 1.1.0 so that he would come immediately after Boo, the spirit he's enhanced from, causing Professor Elvin Gadd and Poltergust 5000 (and all Spirits from #49 to #118) to be moved up one place.
