Luigi's Mansion 64 is a ROM hack created by Mariocrash and Me-me. It was created in 2015 and has 111 Stars (or Starlings in the hack).
The hack uses the same levels as Super Mario 64, although they are highly modified. The overworld layout is also mostly the same but the levels are shuffled around quite a bit. This means that the game will feel very familiar to fans of the original. The only level from SM64 not to make an appearance in this hack is Snowman's Land.
There is a bit of an issue with the level numbering. On the pause menu in the overworld, and when entering or in a level, the levels come up in SM64 order. However, on the pause menu in the overworld the number next to the level shows the intended order.
As of mid-year 2022, the hack was re-released with improved Luigi control/moveset, reduced requirements and ultimately, the level that wasn't added in since the official release is now playable, increasing the star total to 118.
Plot[]
Princess Toadstool sends Luigi to come to her castle to save from King Boo. When Luigi arrives, he meets the Lakitu Bros., whom are filming him. He go inside the haunted mansion and hear a familiar voice telling him not to belong to the mansion. Toad who is outside informs Luigi that King Boo and his henchmen invaded the castle and has kidnapped the princess and is holding everyone hostage inside the mansion walls. He has also stolen the Starlings and given them to his minions who are hiding in paintings spread all over the haunted mansion. Luigi hops in the magical paintings and retrieves the Starlings in order to defeat King Boo and save the Princess.
During the journey, Luigi makes his way to more areas of the haunted mansion. When he finds out he has enough starlings, he goes into King Boo's final level. Once he makes his way through the long course, Luigi sees King Boo 3 times, and the two battle. To go to the final battle against King Boo, Luigi must collect 100 starlings to unlock the pipe of mansion roof. When Luigi defeats King Boo for the last time, he gives up and hands him a Giant Starling, before he disappears. Luigi grabs the starling, and has been given the Wing Cap and flies away back to the mansion.
As Luigi's Wing Cap disappears, he uses the Giant Starling to make Princess Peach appear. Peach wakes up and thanks Luigi, by giving him a kiss, and the cake she had promised before.
