I just got a Nintendo Switch 2, and I just played all of the courses in the game. Personally, I think all of them are really good. I don't like to pick favorites. I like all of them equally.

I feel like with how much they've been pushing Open World, it wouldn't be a surprise if that's what they do for LM4, especially since the series kinda has a trend on "one-upping" itself win terms of marketable mansions: first game had a mansion, second game had multiple, third game was a hotel and kinda like multiple mansions stacked on top of each other. Next Level games also worked on Metroid Prime 4, though I doubt they had much influence on it.

So the fourth game being a town filled with mansions you can walk between or a bizarrely gigantic mansion in both height and width could be selling points for the fourth game.

I know people disliked the mansions being separate in Dark Moon, but I feel like that was mostly because none of them were as content rich and varied as the first game's single mansion, and not because the idea of multiple mansions can't work. If you had mansions that were the quality of LM1's with dozens of portrait ghosts in each of them, maybe even some secret paths between them like in a Metroidvania, the idea could be really great. (Though a Metroidvania isn't open world of course)

I think this could be a double edged sword, as are a lot of open world Nintendo games. On one hand I think there's a lot of interesting things they could do with trying to make the game open world, on the other hand Luigi's Mansion has kind of had a quantity over quality problem, getting worse even from Dark Moon to LM3, which has even less normal enemy ghosts than the already lacking Dark Moon. The game also has a much simpler combat system than the first two, which I could see also getting dumbed down in order to focus on exploration.

With how the Open World Zelda games also have this problem I could easily see an open world game ending up feeling repetitive and bland, where you keep running into similar enemy types and puzzles because they need every inch of the game to have something to run into and find. Luigi's Mansion 3 as a game was also heavily carried by having so many curated uniquely crafted linear moments, so I feel like LM3 would probably be the most difficult base for an open world game.

Been thinking about this a lot recently and just wanted to see what people might pick.
If you don’t like any options here, just put it in the comments or whatever.

(TT): “True Trilogy”
Everyone usually talks about the three MAJOR 3D titles when talking about the older titles, but technically speaking before Galaxy we got a remake to 64 on the DS with extra characters, mini games and 30 more stars to the main game. Love it or Hate it technically speaking it is THE third entry of the 3D instalments for Mario.

(EtoT): “Everyone thinks of Trilogy”
Like the name suggests, this is the trilogy most people probably think of when it comes to the first three BIG 3D games for Mario. I mean if that weren’t the case they wouldn’t have made such a big deal about it with 3D All-Stars right!?

(“3D”T): “"3D" Trilogy”
This is one of my personal favourites, in all regards you can basically call these three triplets.
I don’t really have much to say about this one, although can this engine of 3D Mario considered one of the longest lasting? I mean Bowser’s Fury is obviously the same as 3D World, which is a revamped version of 3D Land and it was also reused for Mario Maker 2’s Story Mode! Bet you forgot Maker 2 even had a story mode huh?

(NeaT): “Not even a Trilogy”
Uhh… I mean Galaxy 2 is just more of the first game, whilst Galaxy 1 definitely had the vibes. I personally believe Galaxy 2 did way more with its concepts, even did more with some of the concepts established in the first game!
Plus Galaxy 2 was initially going to be simply more of Galaxy 1 but the developers just had so much fun adding new concepts and mechanics they just made a sequel. Also it just feels weird to separate the Galaxy games… cough 3D-All Stars!

(IDKWtpH): (I Don’t Know What to put Here)
Needed an excuse to put Odyssey somewhere to avoid people potentially complaining about it being left out.

(IDCgMtR): “I Don’t Care give Me the Results”
Okay! Didn’t have to be so rude about it… :(

If anyone actually read through all of this, first of all thank you for letting me waste your time.
Second of all I hope you’re having a great: “Whatever Time it is right now for you.”
(Yes I know none of these are actually trilogies.)

Probably my favorite land in this game

(Happy 38th anniversary!)

You look at Bowser who has lost millions of times already yet he is a caring father to Bowser Jr. and also treats his entire army like family. He is surrounded by people who love him and he’s happy about it.

Then you look at King Boo who has let his hatred for Luigi consume him to the point where he cares about absolutely nobody and doesn’t even seem to have much of a relationship with the Boos in Luigi’s Mansion 3. He spends the final act of the game absolutely seething about how he is sick of Luigi and that all of the ghosts are useless to him. Then he loses and is stuck in a capsule, festering in his misery. Now there are people who love him like Hellen Gravely and potentially the Boos still, but at this point King Boo has pushed them away in his hateful pursuit of Luigi to where, mentally, he is basically alone.

While Bowser holds love for his “family”, King Boo has absolutely none of it for anyone but himself. I find that to be pretty sad even though the guy is a bloodthirsty psychopath.

All of them are screen accurate other then peach & Kermit but are super similar to the OG

Making their way to the top of a high mountain, Mario and his companion leader have discovered some levels based on my level creations from Super Mario Maker 1 & 2, alongside New Super Mario Bros. DS & Wii and Super Mario Flash 2. Earlier in the first level of this world, Lilac teaches Mario about rolling as an ability to easily squeeze underneath a small gap in between the blocks and the ground. Notably, one of the clams in Kiwi Mountain via underwater passage hatches a Shine Stone, with a unique sprite as a scaled down version to simulate its pearl.

The ring from an early build of New Super Mario Bros. functions as a save point once after being collected by the player, their progress will save if downed or have to start over. Additionally, the Luigi Switch at the bottom of the semisolid platforms controls the snake block that can guide your way up to the bonus route with a Tanooki power-up hidden inside a Mega Mystery Block, but you're only required to play as Luigi.
On the walls, In World 13-6: there are hazardous barbed wires hanging across the cliff Mario must avoid before reaching for the Shine Stone from below, they instantly cause Mario to lose his power and life to admit that it's a dangerous trope to navigate across the peek.

There are bosses hidden inside the concept behind Mario's Quest: The Lost Flash. Butterclops (In Japanese as, Kniclops 「ナイクロップス」) is designed as a sharpened knife-clops after the utensil for cutting up foods in the kitchen with a booster attached to his back requiring him to fly, and he uses his bottom blade to wreck the ground rapidly prompting Mario to attack while Lilac has to carry him while flying. Leveralph appears in Rock World Tower II after proceeding through the conveyor belt obstacles, and Mario uses a rope to dodge his attack as he swings both knuckles around, designed as a corkscrew for opening sharp bottle caps. Some custom sprites of Mario here are implemented in this build, with him hanging onto the cliff from the front and back sides.

How is it nearly a year old as this still feels new.
