Luigi catches a glimpse through the window, and the camera zooms out as Luigi is heard screaming. He tries to rejoin with his body, and then Carmilla shows up. before slowly realizing that Death is floating right in front of him! Luigi then suffers the ulti mate moment of humiliation: Having his soul separated from his body! Not even Simon's arrival was enough to save Luigi, as we see his ghost looking over his body. As he runs down a dark hallway, he trips and starts to get up. Luigi starts to catch his breath, only to be startled by Medusa and then chased away by her snakes. It starts with Luigi backing away from a group of mummies, before he fully runs away. We see his growing sense of terror as he's unable to use his Poltergust to defend himself against the various monsters of the series. Simon's reveal trailer brought us some truly terrifying moments by using the dark setting of the Castlevania series, and involving Luigi in them.And to top it off, that sadistic smirk he gives while looking her in the eye and twirling Mario’s hat on his finger to mock her allies' sudden and violent deaths shows just why he's Samus' arch enemy. Sakurai outright states that the point of Ridley's trailer was to show first-hand just how monstrous he really is. Then, suddenly, Ridley bursts out from underneath the bridge and taunts Samus with Mario's hat before he attacks. Samus senses this and turns around only to find that nobody is there and only Mario's hat is left on the ground. A blurred shape suddenly swoops by and destroys Mega Man by skewering him through his chest and then immediately returns to crush Mario's skull to pieces, with a Sickening "Crunch!" to go with it. Samus, Mario, and Mega Man are walking cautiously down a bridge in a dark base.
