Editing Game Boy Horror

The '''Game Boy Horror''' is a device that was featured in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. Based on the real-life [[Game Boy Color]], it was invented by [[E. Gadd]] to help with capturing ghosts.

=Information=

The Game Boy Horror is a Game Boy Color-like device that was invented by E. Gadd and has a variety of functions. It can display information, including maps and information on different ghosts. It can also be used as a communicator. By looking through the Game Boy Horror's camera, the user can see things through the first description and scan parts of the environment to prompt observations about ghosts or the user's surroundings. It also has a teleportation function. When the Game Boy Horror is used to scan any mirror (except for the ones in the Mirror Room), it could teleport Luigi back to the mansion's foyer.

It was featured in the original ''Luigi's Mansion'' (as well as its 3DS remake). In it, E. Gadd gave the Game Boy Horror to [[Luigi]] in order to help him to explore [[The Mansion (Luigi's Mansion)|the mansion]]. E. Gadd also regularly communicated with him through the device.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', there were two occasions E. Gadd where E. Gadd used a giant version of the Game Boy Horror to communicate with [[Mario]] and Luigi when they were at the Starbeans Cafe. It had a new warping function, which he used to bring one of the coffee blends to him to try out. Additionally, the final reward for the Starbeans Cafe sidequest was a Game Boy Horror SP (based on the [[Game Boy Advance SP]]. When this was equipped by one of the brothers, it would cause the brothers to earn a rare item at the end of a battle. In [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|the 3DS remake]], the final blow of the battle had to be delivered by the brother who had the SP equipped in order to earn the item.

=Trivia=

*Its design is based on the Japan-exclusive clear color variant of the Game Boy Color, with the word "HORROR" replacing the word "COLOR" on the device.
*This item set a tradition for the ''Luigi's Mansion'' sequels, in which each installment would feature a new device based on a Nintendo console: ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' featured the [[Dual Scream]] (based on the [[Nintendo DS]]), while ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' had the [[Virtual Boo]] (based on the [[Virtual Boy]]). 
*The Game Boy Horror SP simply resembles a standard Game Boy Advance SP, in the platinum color.
*The Game Boy Horror was nearly included as an item as well in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', but it was replaced by the Game Boy Horror SP, likely as a way to promote the device that it referenced.
