The game takes place in a haunted mansion, which Luigi won in a contest he did not enter. He told his brother to meet him there to celebrate his victory. Luigi is searching for his brother Mario, who came to the mansion earlier, but went missing. To help Luigi on his quest, an old professor named Elvin Gadd has equipped him with the "Poltergust 3000", a vacuum cleaner used for capturing ghosts, and a "Game Boy Horror", a device used for communicating with Gadd.

===M4A Video Codec===
Support of the M4A codec required to play the Pikmin movie trailer under options is currently flaky, refer {{Issue|119}}. With {{revision|6658}} the trailer can be played using DX9 and LLE Audio.
Support of the M4A codec required to play the Pikmin movie trailer under options is currently working. It requires DX9 and DSP-LLE.
 
The trailer has been reported to work in {{revision|4495}} (and possibly prior/later revs) with the JITiL recompiler, and in {{revision|6319}} forward. At least with {{revision|6658}} the trailer can only be played with the US release using the DX9 and LLE Audio plug-ins, the EU release hangs regardless of plug-in combination.
