Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Nintendo 3DS)/English Translation Differences

This is a sub-page of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Nintendo 3DS).

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes. Notes: I deleted the giant table of unsorted text differences, and am adding that info back piece by piece as I categorize it, summarize it, explain it, etc. In the meantime, some stuff will be missing; for the full list of differences, see the earliest revision of this page.

To do: Document EVERYTHING from THIS. Consider removing sentences with unchanged text and/or making this page to sub-pages.

There are a lot of textual differences between the North American and European English text. In fact, over 50% of the text strings differ in some way! There are a few widespread differences that affect lots of game text. Lines displaying only these differences have been removed from this article:

1. The device Professor E. Gadd uses to send Luigi to and from the mansions is called the "Pixelator" in the North American version and the "Pixelshifter" in the European version.
2. Capitalization is often different. The North American version uses significantly more capital letters than the European version.
3. Lines differing only via different names of things that are already listed in their own sections on this page (such as Boos and mansion areas) are not shown here.
4. Text is line-wrapped manually in this game, and some text differs in where the line breaks are placed.

Additionally, text colors are correctly reproduced in this article, except to adjust their lightnesses to 50% for readability.

Oddities

Nintendo DS Screen Brightness

North American Quote	European Quote
I was worried that the battery died in the DS. But I turned the screen brightness down, so it should be good for a while.	You sure took your time. I was worried you'd turned off the volume on your DS. Anyhoo, it looks like everything's working, so we should be good.

This line of dialogue (string ID F4BE8836) was completely rewritten for the European edition. This is likely because the translators realized that the original Nintendo DS doesn't actually have adjustable screen brightness.

Haunted doggie treat

North American Quote	European Quote
Do you happen to have a haunted doggie treat on you? Maybe you can lure him over! Sorry, I just realized how ridiculous that sounded... I guess you're gonna need to find some other way in there, son!	Well, I guess there's nothing else for it. You'll just have to find another way in there, son.

This line from E-1 Front-Door Key (E-1 Front Door Key in the European edition) (string ID B6A3155D) was rewritten. The North American version seems likely to confuse players: throughout the game, golden dog bones summon Polterpups to revive the player if they die, but that has nothing to do with how the player progresses through this particular level.

Typos

North American Quote	European Quote
Glad to you see you back, sonny. Did you capture any ghosts?	Glad to see you back, sonny. Did you capture any ghosts?

There's an extraneous "you" in the North American version of this line from A-5 Sticky Situation.

This mansion is now under the ownership of King Boo, Esquire. Are you authorised to be here? Your identification and mansion roaming permit, please. You don't have them? That's...unfortunate. I have no choice but to penalise you.

ScareScraper

In addition to the widespread differences affecting lots of game text, there are a few more specific to the ScareScraper:

1. ScareScraper is called Thrill Tower (or, occasionally, simply Tower) in the European version.
2. The North American version uses title case in many places that the European version uses sentence case; for example, Most Ghosts Captured in the North American version is Most ghosts captured in the European version.
3. The North American version calls the floors either F1, F2, F3, and so on (or, sometimes, simply 1, 2, 3, etc.), whereas the European version calls them GF (ground floor), 1F, 2F, etc.
4. The messages that Luigi can shout (Hey!, Help!, Thank you!, etc.) are enclosed in quotes in the North American version but not in the European version.
5. A boss ghost in North America is simply a boss in Europe. Same with exit hatch and hatch.

Lines displaying only these differences have been removed from this article.
