Luigi Mansion 3 Playthrough - Part 11 - Final Boss: King Boo + Ending

[peterswanson]

One of my favorite details about King Boo in this game is one I feel a lot of people miss. In the first game he boasts about fighting you like "a true boo" instead of fleeing before immediately hiding in a Bowser suit and letting it do all the work. In Dark Moon, while fighting you directly this time, he still covers his face when you look at him and only attacks you while you're back's turned. In THIS game, he actively attacks Luigi and friends in a rage and never once hides his face the entire game. He's so pissed off at Luigi constantly defeating him that he overcame the inherent shy nature of his kind.

God damn. Bowser may try to beat Mario all the time, but King Boo has a downright bloodthirsty, psychopathic *hatred* for Luigi.

The fact that king boo has the capacity to just grab the EGadd shelter, blow it up, grab the occupants and slap them in a portrait means he is never fighting luigi with full potential

[LordMetarex]

King Boo's dialogue is really intense in this game. Honestly, I can imagine him pulling out swear words/mature language if this game was not rated 7.

[asimpletaco]

Imagine being king boo for a moment. You’re trying to let the ghosts roam the world, and you’ve been stopped by a complete coward not once but twice, and is about to foil your plans AGAIN. I’d be just as pissed off as he is in this game lmao

Nintendo: *builds successful flagship franchise of jumping platforms revolving around a guy, has his brother who can jump higher than him be a sidekick, and then gives the sidekick a spin-off series where he can't jump*

I love how when king boo shows up peach spreads her arms as if to protect mario and Luigi. That's adorable and nice attention to detail


Also king boo looks permently pissed in this game lol

[lennydickson]

I love how in this version King boo almost always looked pissed, it’s like he’s so done with Luigi’s shit

[paper]

King boo looked REALLY depressed in that cage. If maybe he could just turn over a new leaf.

Never gonna happen, maybe

I honestly liked King Boo's characterization in Dark Moon better. He definitely came off as unhinged, even a bit Joker-esque there, while here, he's pretty flat as a villain. Here's the relevant part of his Dark Moon speech, so you don't have to look it up:

"Mwahahahaha! So what do we have here?"
"Why if it isn't my old pal, Luigi? Or is it Baby Luigi? I can't tell the difference."
"Hey, remember that time you trapped me in a painting for all eternity? Good times."
"But guess what? I GOT OUT! And now I'm painting the town red!"

Plus, King Boo's ultimate plan was implied to be way more dangerous in Dark Moon than in 3 - he was planning to _make the universe collapse by ripping a hole in the veil between life and death and overloading it with ghosts_ - man, that's dark!

My god, this game makes me feel old. My cousins 5 year old daughter was trying to educate me on how cool Luigis mansion is.. I was thinking to myself, “Child, I have known of the Boos since the days of Super Nintendo.” I was happy she was carrying on a family tradition.. I need to buy a Game cube again.

You know you're in for a wild ride when King Boo looks pissed off

[Linkfan]

These games are lowkey nightmare fuel. Getting trapped in a painting must surely be a fate worse than death, and King Boo is obsessed with killing Luigi at this point.

[PonandCon]

The animation from 2:59 to the Boss Fight is literally some of the best stuff in Nintendo history. Especially on Peach.

[fireflyrancher]

King boo is a little more scarier when he’s angry.

Luigi’s Mansion 4: King Boo is back

Luigi’s Mansion 5: King Boo Strikes Back

Luigi’s Mansion 6: Ok Luigi, no more

Luigi’s Mansion 7: No more..

Luigi’s Mansion 8: I quit.

Luigi’s Mansion 9


Luigi’s Mansion 10: I said I quit, no more.

Bowser, having lost to Mario millions of times: still hangs out with him


King Boo, having lost to Luigi two times prior to this: *hellbent on having reality collapse on itself*

[Mac]

I love how King Boo has so much expression in this game.

[tylerfindlay]

I like King Boo’s little “DAMN IT” whenever one of his attacks miss Luigi.

King Boo is the perfect nemesis for Luigi
