DONKEYKONG LADDERS TRANSPARENT SERIES

as one of the playable characters Franchise/DonkeyKong himself wouldn't appear in the series until ''VideoGame/MarioKart64'' (as Creator/ wouldn't create the iconic new Donkey Kong in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' until 2 years after ''Super Mario Kart's'' release). ** The game had five races per cup instead of four like in the later games. The Boo-teeth discrepancy also gets referenced in ''3'' when King Boo pulls a DoppelgangerAttack, as his fake copies are marked by having only two teeth like in this game. The sequels adopt the standardized appearance of the Boos with opaque bodies and four teeth, though King Boo's unique visual aspects besides these traits were retained as his established ''Luigi's Mansion'' look, rather than the games adopting the standard King Boo design featured in other titles. They are also depicted with only their two outer fangs and are missing the smaller two teeth between them. For one, they're uncharacteristically translucent, while they switch between invisible or fully opaque in their standard appearance established by other games. ** Boos don't look the way they do here in the ''LM'' sequels. ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3'' would continue from the second game's direction but use the Switch's capabilities to advance the visual style, adding more modeling detail for the enemies and using bosses more like the Portrait Ghosts, just with more heavily caricatured features and animation. The most humanoid boss ghosts in ''Dark Moon'' are also much simpler and closer to the enemies' level of detail. ''VideoGame/LuigisMansionDarkMoon'' has much simpler enemy ghosts, which have simple vivid one-color palettes with glowing white eyes and mouths and are less transparent.

** The style of the ghosts differs from the sequels, with their designs being more transparent and featuring multiple colors for their eyes, mouths, and bodies, and the boss ghosts being more detailed. The later games go for more distinctive theming and variety and clearer level structure, with the second game featuring five themed mansions with multiple sub-missions to complete them and the third game featuring one massive hotel with 17 themed floors that play out like contained stages or chapters. ** While this game is broken into chapters, these chapters don't feel especially thematic beyond the region you're exploring in the house offering changes of scenery. Later games in the series would have those various gems and diamonds classed as a separate collectible type that marked a completion goal for a level (each has a set of gems to find) without contributing to your cash and end-game money total at all. ** The treasure acquired counts towards a total score that determines the state of the ending. All of these have been updated with the more familiar elements in the 3DS remake. Additionally, though not as much as ''Melee'', there’s some N64/-like renders such as ] taken from the first ''VideoGame/MarioGolf''. Even then, certain details were different here - Luigi's pant legs are rolled up (a trait that carried over to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl''), Toad's vest lacks the yellow trim, and the Boos' middle two fangs are missing. ** The character designs in this game served the basis of subsequent 3D ''Mario'' games (unlike ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee'', which used designs from the Nintendo 64 era).

The latter games are perfectly spooky and get some good scares in, but they're more colorful, cartoony, and better-lit while being built more on fancy mechanics, action, puzzles, and comedy than minimalist tension. * ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'': ** Aesthetically and tonally, the game is a lot dustier, moodier, and darker, and while still stylized, has a ] and level of detail and unease through stripped-down ghost-hunt gameplay that gives it a sense of uncharacteristic realism and suspense for the ''Mario'' world.
