In a new video, Nintendo offers a preview of the four-player multiplayer mode coming to Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon for Nintendo 3DS. In the game's "ScareScraper," up to four Luigis can play together as they capture ghosts, race to find the exit or defeat boss ghosts.
Nintendo shows off Dark Moon's Hunter, Rush, Polterpup and Surprise gameplay modes, and certain game modifiers like difficulty and number of ScareScraper floors, in the video above, which also purports to show the local and online multiplayer features of the 3DS game.
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon will be available for Nintendo 3DS on March 24 at retail and Nintendo's eShop.
A Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon story introduction video released today tells of how Luigi is called upon by Professor E. Gad after his friendly ghosts turn sinister by King Boo's hand.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon features multiplayer via LAN, Wi-Fi and Download Play. Multiplayer modes include Hunter, a team-based timed capture ghosts mode; Rush, a competitive race to the top of a tower; and Polterpup, hunt and capture ghost dogs before the time runs out.
