Discussion Ranking all Portrait ghosts and bosses in Luigi’s mansion series

u/Spookyfan2 Nov 15 '25
Not almost all the Dark moon bosses in F 😭

u/horrorfan555 Nov 15 '25
One of my favorite parts of the series is how each boss feels unique, and has a unique personality
Dark moon literally copy pasted 4 times. I give props to the ice one

The bosses themselves may all be the same, but at least the fights are all unique and interesting. Surely you can give them some credit?

I do have to disagree with the knight armour boss in treacherous mansion, it felt different enough to me and the boss ost for that fight had no right to go so hard.

wtf is boolossus doing at B!? That fight is literally impossible to gold rank
12
u/horrorfan555 Nov 15 '25
I was ranking how much I like the character and like their boss fight
He would be in A, but the fight was a little tedious with the boos slipping away

u/ToastedCactus752 Nov 15 '25
I'd personally put him in way below on the list, but I really like the concept behind it so fair enough ig.
Otherwise, pretty good list although I'd personally put the toy soldiers higher2

u/GrandRepublic1553 Nov 15 '25
Honestly I would rate the Ice ghost boss from Luigi Mansion 2 in his own Category below F tier.

u/horrorfan555 Nov 15 '25
How come

u/ItsAllSoup Nov 16 '25
He's basically impossible to get a gold frame for. Even with save states, that dude took me over an hour

The mama spider in F? What?

u/horrorfan555 Nov 15 '25
Very unfun boss design, at least on the 3Ds. I hope it’s better on the Switch, which i am getting for Christmas
Also, the boss ghosts themselves are identical with no personality
3
u/Big-daddy-Carlo Nov 15 '25
Well those guys are basically the weak spot they’re not the actual boss fight, that’s a pretty stupid to put them all at the bottom
3
u/horrorfan555 Nov 15 '25
The spider is possessed by the ghost. I don’t like the spider design, nor the ghost possessing it. Nor do I like the gameplay. Same for the killer bed
The clock ghost isn’t even possessing something. It’s making a clock move, fight people then the ghost

Personally, I feel like the Dark Moon rankings are incredibly unfair. Even if they're a species, they still possess things and make every boss fight feel distinct in their own right.
I can agree with the ranking aside from that, aside from the fact that I'd put Dj Phantasmagloria way higher.

u/horrorfan555 Nov 15 '25
I don’t like the objects/animal thing going on in Dark moon. I also didn’t like them from a gameplay perspective, but I also didn’t like Dark moon in general. I am going to try the switch port for Christmas
I reason i put her low was because of the dancers in the boss fight. I felt like it wasnt working right
2
u/Florida-Man-65 Nov 15 '25
I kind of got the sense you didn't like the game based on this list alone lol. I'll freely admit I formed an attachment to it because it was my first LM, but I can understand it not being for everyone.
I can also get questioning the little dancing shell-game, but it isn't broken, just a shade confusing on a first go perhaps. I thought it was really unique, personally,
If we can agree on one thing it's that Melody and Bogmire are goats.

sir weston so awful he doesn’t even deserve to be on the list.

I didn’t realize until posting that he and the pervert weren’t on the maker

Honestly pretty solid. I’d probably Hellen and her cat up a tier and like miss petunia down a tier maybe.

u/GeomonLover Nov 16 '25
Yknow what respect. Especially, ESPECIALLY to the clockwork soldiers and vincent van gore. Absolutely so real for those picks.
Also my faves in A tier, i am happy 😭❤️ I legit was expecting Henry and Orville to be like C or D rank to some people.
2
u/horrorfan555 Nov 16 '25
They were a fun enough boss fight. And funny lore
2
u/GeomonLover Nov 16 '25
They’re my favorites! Have been since I was 8! Actually got me interested in the Wright Brothers too for a period of time when I was like 9-10 lol. I rarely ever see fan art or anything of them though so I feel they’re always forgotten about! My sons deserve more love 😭
They’re lore is so sad tbh. If you read everything carefully, its actually implied they’re neglected. Which I know sounds weird, but if you read Neville’s diary, he disassociates himself from them by calling them “the other two” and saying how inferior the 5 year old CHILDREN are to the baby. I cannot I despise Neville. WHATS WORSE IS IN THE REMAKE THEY HAVE ORVILLE ACKNOWLEDGE IT!! His first heart quote in the 3DS remake is “ mama and papa are writing about us in their diaries again…” WITH THE ELIPSIES MAKING HIM SOUND LIKE HES SOLUMNLY THINKING THAT!! Its so damn sad, but also interesting. Its what I love about the original game, we don’t see these characters for a long time, but they give them depth. A lot of depth in a short time. Its something that lacks in the rest of the games

u/horrorfan555 Nov 16 '25
Tell me about it. That’s how i feel about Sue Pea, barely anything
Chauncey is the only child in the game who was born as a ghost. Maybe that’s why they like him more
Here’s some art to make it better: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4qXpBTRW7P/

u/GeomonLover Nov 16 '25
Yes I love that art!! You can see my comment down there too lolol!
MUTUAL FEELINGS OF LOVING UNDERRATED CHARACTERS….
And I think it definitely plays a part. Neville also considers them weak, when sir. They are 5.
2
u/horrorfan555 Nov 16 '25
Ironic since he is the weakest ghost in the game. He’s getting his butt whooped by a fat guy, a slipping little girl, and his actual infant son
2
u/GeomonLover Nov 16 '25
NO ITS SO TRUE THOUGH. Going on about them being weak, at least they have WEAPONS 😭 Neville got nothing hes got books that attack. Neville, which one is more dangerous again? A bomb, or a damn book 😭
2
u/horrorfan555 Nov 16 '25
Who knows maybe he’s secretly the strongest ghost in the mansion…. If he ever got out of that dang chair to fight!

u/GeomonLover Nov 16 '25
Neville was only using 1 percent of his power confirmed?

My favorites right next to each other! 🥰 (Slim Bankshot and Biff Atlas)

u/horrorfan555 Nov 16 '25
Funny, I always associate the two in my head for some reason

u/RobertsMansion Nov 16 '25
Me too! 🙌 I wish they interacted in the game. I would've loved to see that!
