Luigi's Mansion 3: Multiplayer Pack (DLC)

Luigi's Mansion 3: Multiplayer Pack is a two-part DLC bundle that drops squarely in the "buy only if you have warm bodies on the couch" category. It touches nothing in the single-player campaign - no new floors, no extra boss fights, no extended story. What it does add is a solid pile of multiplayer content split across two modes: ScreamPark and ScareScraper. If you have a crew ready to go, this thing punches above its weight. ScreamPark is where the fun-per-minute is highest. The base game already had three minigames; the Multiplayer Pack doubles that count to six, adding DodgeBrawl, River Bank, and Tricky Ghost Hunt from Part 1, then PuckStravaganza, Floaty Frenzy, and Desperate Measures from Part 2. DodgeBrawl is the standout - two teams of up to four players use the Poltergust G-OO to hurl fruit and bombs at each other in a chaotic dodgeball brawl, and it holds up brilliantly at a full table. PuckStravaganza is air hockey with vacuum-powered physics chaos, and it has just enough skill ceiling to reward repeat sessions. Tricky Ghost Hunt is the most accessible entry point for newcomers, since it is basically core Luigi's Mansion ghost-capturing in a bite-sized competitive wrapper. River Bank can swing hard when someone loses all their coins off the waterfall, which splits the room - some people love the chaos, others get annoyed fast. Desperate Measures (a sand-weighing challenge) and Floaty Frenzy (a floaty obstacle race on only three tracks) are the weakest additions, but they fill out the roster well enough for a rotation. ScreamPark supports up to eight players on a single Switch, using individual Joy-Cons - so yes, one console and a pile of controllers is all you need for a full party. That is the dream setup. What stings is that ScreamPark is local-only: no online, no bots. If you are flying solo or have fewer than two humans in the room, the whole mode is locked off and the DLC loses most of its value immediately. ScareScraper gets three new costume sets per part - Part 1 brings The Green Knight, Groovigi, and Mummigi (medieval, disco, and Egyptian themes respectively), while Part 2 adds Cap'n Weegee, The Amazing Luigi, and the wonderfully named Paleontoluigist. Each costume influences which themed floors and ghost types appear during a ScareScraper run, which adds flavour without meaningfully changing the gameplay loop. A new 24-floor marathon mode is also unlocked. ScareScraper does support online play (Nintendo Switch Online required), so unlike ScreamPark it works across multiple consoles. Buying the pack also hands you the Flashlight Type-P, a Polterpup-projection light usable in story mode - a small but charming bonus. Bottom line on the package: it is tailor-made for groups and nearly useless for solo players. The minigame quality ranges from genuinely great (DodgeBrawl, PuckStravaganza) to fine filler (Floaty Frenzy), and the ScareScraper additions are cosmetic-first. Solo fans hoping for a new chapter of ghost-busting will leave disappointed. But for a Saturday night with three or more friends sharing a Switch, the Multiplayer Pack earns its spot.
