Yes! After only twelve years, it's done! And people said it was a short game!
In fairness, it is a short game, and not overly difficult, but it's actually significantly longer than, say, the single-player components of most Call of Duty games. It's infinitely more charming and fun. Overall, the game took me about 9 hours to complete, and that was including a bit near the end where I ran around the whole house trying to find the last few boos. I had collected most of them through normal play, but there were some hidden in Level 1 rooms which I had completed before acquiring the scanner.
The game continued to be inventive, the the last moment. Puzzles were rare and because of this they threw me - having to freeze a stream to cross it was used in only one place, and was an elegant way to prevent early progress. Although the game was actually very linear, it didn't feel like it.
The final boss battle was the hardest part of the game by far. I wasn't expecting Bowser ...
... but it wasn't him, anyway. It took me a couple of attempts, but finally he was defeated (with me on minimal health). I actually remembered to capture it on my video box for once.
So, game completed and Luigi happy for a while. Having seen what he went through, I'm not surprised he's so aggressive in Mario Kart 8.
hmgh
