- This article is about a trap appearing in Luigi's Mansion and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. For the object in Wario World, see Trapdoor (Wario World). For the object in Donkey Kong Country games also referred to as trapdoor, see Spinning Platform.
A fake door, also known as a trapdoor[1] or false door[2], is a special trap that resembles a real door encountered in the Luigi's Mansion series. They are designed to confuse and injure Luigi as he progresses through the games.
History
Luigi's Mansion
In Luigi's Mansion, fake doors are found in various locations on different floors of the mansion. If Luigi happens to turn the knob of a fake door, the door springs open and flattens him against the wall, causing him to lose ten HP and a few coins. There is a glitch that allows Luigi to get smashed unscathed, but only a few times before taking damage again as normal. A ghost can be heard laughing after Luigi is smashed. Sometimes, a trail of conveniently placed coins leads straight to a fake door to catch Luigi off guard.
The only way to defeat a fake door is to set it on fire; while real doors do not catch on fire, fake doors go up in flames and disappear. However, if Luigi enters two different rooms and returns to where the fake door was, it will have reappeared. During the blackout in the game, the ghosts increase the amount of fake doors in the mansion.
There are several ways to tell a fake door apart from a real door. For instance, Luigi glances at fake doors as he walks by them, but does not look at real doors. Additionally, Luigi can check his Game Boy Horror; real doors appear on the map, while fake doors do not. Luigi can also vacuum a door with the Poltergust 3000; if it rattles, it is real, and if it does not, it is a fake door. Another way to differentiate between the two involves looking for doormats; real doors have doormats under them while fake doors do not (though in some cases, a real door, like the one leading to the Fortune-Teller's Room, do not have a doormat either).
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, false doors are found within Gloomy Manor, Haunted Towers, Treacherous Mansion, and the ScareScraper. They serve the same function as they did in the first game, though Luigi now loses only five HP when hit by one (two HP in the ScareScraper), and does not lose any coins. Additionally, ghosts are no longer heard laughing after Luigi gets flattened by a false door, barring one instance in Treacherous Mansion when a Greenie appears to laugh at him. Just like in the first game, Luigi can use his map — this time on the Dual Scream — to determine whether a door is real or not, as false doors will not show up.
Luigi's Mansion 3
Fake doors reappear in Luigi's Mansion 3, this time exclusive to ScareScraper mode. When they trap Luigi, they do not close, forcing another player to use the Suction Shot to destroy it. They do not appear on the map nor do they have doormats. They can be destroyed by the Suction Shot to avoid triggering them.
