While Mario isn't the main character in Luigi's Mansion 3, Luigi is out to rescue him and Princess Peach from a hotel filled with silly ghosts in this title. Play as the younger-yet-taller brother and watch him shine as he sucks specters up Ghostbusters-style with his Poltergust G-00 and solves puzzles on each floor. One of the best things about this game is that it features optional two-player co-op where Player 1 takes control of Luigi and Player 2 takes control of his gelatinous double, Gooigi. They both have skill sets that the other doesn't have so you'll need to work together to solve puzzles and defeat bosses.

But if you're looking for a good golf game with some familiar characters, this one is your pick.
