Parlor

The Parlor (Japanese: 居間 Living Room) is the first room accessed by Luigi in Luigi's Mansion.

Story
When Luigi first enters the mansion, he goes upstairs, where there are two doors that lead into the Parlor. The doors are locked. Luigi heads back downstairs, where he finds a Gold Ghost. It drops the Parlor Key, goes upstairs, and through the two doors. Luigi collects the Key and unlocks the doors to the Parlor.

Luigi enters the Parlor nervously, and a Gold Ghost then suddenly pops out, scares him onto the floor, and approaches him. The Gold Ghost is then suddenly sucked by a vacuum, revealed to be Professor E. Gadd and the Poltergust 3000; he attempts to capture the Gold Ghost into the Poltergust but fails. The Gold Ghost then vanishes.

E. Gadd briefly introduces himself and the haunted mansion to Luigi, and afterward, the same Gold Ghost and two others and approach Luigi and E. Gadd. They both flee to E. Gadd's Lab, where E. Gadd trains Luigi to use the Poltergust 3000.

After his training, Luigi re-enters the mansion and heads back into the Parlor. When Luigi puts out the six purple-lit candles in the room, the paintings get upset at Luigi, and the three Gold Ghosts pop out. He must vacuum them into the Poltergust 3000 to obtain the Key to the Anteroom.
