Luigi's Mansion 100% Speedruns are Surprisingly Complex

Luigi's Mansion 100% is one of the most intriguing speedrun categories I have ever seen. Over the years, it's become increasingly more complex and difficult in regards to routing and new optimizations at the top level.

In the Mario universe, 100g is equivalent to an extra life.

At the end of this run, Luigi will outlive all of his friends, family, and enemies by endless millenia. Days will pass for him like seconds. Kingdoms will rise and crumble. Oceans will dry. And eventually, there will be nothing at all...

Only Luigi.

I'd love to see the PAL-version covered and the craziness that is its hidden mansion. I grew up with that version and could honestly not believe at first how imo lackluster the hidden mansion in the other versions seemed in comparison from the perspective of a casual run. The new spawns, flipped layout and tweaks to the bossfights really mix things up a lot.

Fun Fact : Sitting Room Clip is actually not viable in PAL 100% because no mice actually spawn on the second floor where you do it for NTSC! PAL 100% is still completely inbounds and dupeless.

[WackoMcGoose]

...Oh thank goodness, I assumed 100% meant "collect EVERYTHING there is, and if you boop up a single Portrait Ghost and miss their Large Pearl, instant reset". I guess that would be a Max% run?

[MaxAutoAttack]

They're called "Neverdoors" because they always clip through the wall instead of using the door

[katieosadczuk]

Watching this at four in the morning and you said they used a mouse and I was like that’s not how Gameboys work. This is why sleep is important

[Gcever]

I was off tab listening and got jump scared by my own voice in the gold diamond clip lmao. Great vid.

[nicholaslogan]

I feel like I've never heard of this channel but it seems like the kind of thing I'd be into and I am already subscribed so

[MarioSMG]

Your Luigi’s Mansion videos are some of my favorite speed running videos! Excited for this one.

8:18 I absolutely love this edit, hilarious! And neat video, keep up the good work!

[AngelofGrace]

lmao I spent the first half of the video going 'huh, I swear diamonds weren't that rare, but it's been a while since I played, so maybe I can't remember that well'.
Then the reveal hit.

I have the theory that the programmers had a mistake when putting the value of red diamonds. I still can't believe one of them has the same value as a coin, considering that there are only 2 in the whole game and one belongs to the final boss.

[kaiirunz]

A small group of top LM runners did look into skipping the plant Gold Diamond RTA just a few months back...and to put it bluntly, we decided to assume you dupe EVERY large pearl. 38 large pearls. And EVEN with this consideration, before even the end of A2, we lose all the time we save from this potential route due to what else you have to go out of the way for.

That being said, if we get more consistent with mouse skews, there is definitely some stuff we could get away with on a smaller scale that could save time. It IS possible to skew and skip through the A3 shortcut door right after water rather than even doing the chauncey chest out of bounds route.

There is also A LOT of back tracking in this game, especially in A4. Maybe in the future mouse clips could be used to eliminate this backtracking (and it already has been!)

In All Boos and All Portraits, which uses the Out of Bounds route from the TAS in RTA (because money isn't needed), we used to use the chest to clip out. Snap being the legend he is decided to perform the any% skew and clip in BOTH records, so he could skip backtracking to the A1 rooms, neville, lydia, and chauncey. Rather, he visits them only once. And in All Portraits, he then does Sitting Room Clip on TOP of that any% skew, possibly the only run done so far using both of these mice tricks.

To put it simply, the future of this game for any category that doesn't specify No OoB is abusing 3 to 4 mouse skews a run. It will happen eventually. Snap isn't the only one grinding these mouse skews in runs now. Me, Jovin, HD, even Mak have begun to grind these mouse clips out. Let's see how this and other categories progress!

Omg a twitch streamer I watch played Luigi’s mansion for Halloween and kept saying “bro HOW do the speed runners do it like what is the strat” and it made me want to go rewatch your other video for the 3rd time… and all of the sudden just now I see a new one??? Excited to strap in for this one

[alexanderharrison]

Ive always thought 100% should mean collecting all Gemstones, Speedy Spirits, and Gold Mice, along with the other requirements
Its still not asking to be Max%, but it feels like a significant amount of the secrets are just completely skipped over because you "already have enough money for the A Rank Mansion"

[pikminman]

if i had a nickel for every touch-twice duplication glitch in a gamecube game... i don't know how many i would have. but i know of two of them, the other being the well-known spray glitch in pikmin 2.

[Team_Orchid]

Man, I haven't heard Mario's "Mamamia!" get censored into a swear for actual decades.

[italixprod]

Wow. I've always loved these speedrun videos you make; always very well made, always very well researched, just all around great. I've made a documentary before, I know how much it takes to make them, and even if this isn't considered a real "documentary", it's in the same category for me. Great job on this.

[Don-Keedik]

I remember watching my older brother play this game all the time when i was a kid, hearing luigi say "maaarioo" will live in my head forever 😅
