What happens when you write the premise for ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' with characters from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''? You get ''Sonic Boom: Haunted Mansion Mystery'', a ''Franchise/SonicBoom'' fanfiction written by Creator/CVGWJames.
Sonic and Knuckles receive a letter in the mail from a mysterious woman named Madame L that they won a mansion at Bygone Forest; an unusually creepy mansion. Turns out, it’s a trap, and Madame L is actually the evil sorceress Ghouleena, and Sonic and Knuckles are now her captives. Meanwhile, Amy receives a similar letter, but unlike Sonic and Knuckles, she knows something smells fishy, and calls both Tails and Sticks. Come to find out, they’ve received similar invitations, but haven’t gone into the mansion. Now Tails, Amy, and Sticks have to infiltrate the mansion, rescue Sonic and Knuckles, and defeat Ghouleena.
The story was started on October 10th, 2020, then finished over two years later on November 28th, 2022 with a total of sixteen chapters.

!!''Sonic Boom: Haunted Mansion Mystery'' contains examples of:
* AndIMustScream: Once Ghouleena’s power reaches its peak, victims trapped in her paintings (i.e. Sonic and Knuckles) will be frozen, but conscious as they helplessly watch the world fall to ruin, if we take Knoal Seir’s word for it.
* BackForTheFinale: Cornelius Monkey disappears from the story for a while after providing the trio with the Ghost Vac in Chapter 5, but returns in the final chapter to take back the Ghost Vacs and take care of Ghouleena’s staff.
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Discussed in the final chapter. After finally saving Sonic and Knuckles, Sticks mentions that they might want to leave the haunted mansion before Dr. Eggman carpet-bombs it.
* BigBad: Ghouleena, an evil sorceress and the author’s OriginalCharacter. [[https://www.deviantart.com/cvgwjames/art/Ghouleena-by-James-M-859854916 This]] is what she looks like.
* BlandNameProduct: ''Super Plumber Bros.'' is a parody of... well, [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros you know]].
* BreatherEpisode: Chapter 12 follows the fight with the Dark Phantom with a relaxed hangout at the mansion’s swimming pool. Not only that, but our heroes have had hefty encounters with {{Friendly Ghost}}s before the Dark Phantom battle, and in Chapter 12 run into two more. The buildup to the final battle with Ghouleena occurs after that.
* CompositeCharacter: While Ghouleena is an obvious {{Expy}} of King Boo, being the BigBad of the story inspired by ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'', she also has some shades of an evil Rosalina, due to both her design and her name.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Tails, Amy, and Sticks triumph over Eggman’s robots in Chapter 6 pretty easily, since he came shorthanded.
** Sticks grabs the key from Shantaia in Chapter 14 with no difficulty.
* CutawayGag: In Chapter 14, Amy fears Dr. Eggman would cause a ruckus again. Cut to Eggman’s lair, where he wonders if someone was thinking of him.
* DarkIsEvil: One of the hostile ghosts serving Ghouleena is a creature called the Dark Phantom.
* DefeatByModesty: How the trio takes care of the Dark Phantom. Once his cloak is removed, he loses his intimidation, and is easy to suck into the Ghost Vac from there.
* DestroyTheVillainsWeapon: Downplayed. After Ghouleena is finally defeated by Team Sonic [[HoistByHisOwnPetard with her own staff]], they decide to just bury the staff somewhere and leave it to be forgotten.
* DisneyVillainDeath: How Ghouleena meets her end... [[TheEndOrIsIt for now]].
* DistressedDude: Sonic and Knuckles are in Ghouleena’s captivity for the majority of the story.
* TheDragon: Shantaia is the mansion’s housekeeper, and the one taking direct orders from Ghouleena.
* TheEndOrIsIt: Despite our heroes defeating Ghouleena, the author has plans to bring her back in a future story.
* {{Expy}}: Considering this is ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' with ''Sonic'' characters, expect to see characters fulfilling familiar roles and jobs; {{Original Character}}s, that is.
** Cornelius Monkey shares the old mentor role that Professor E. Gadd had, providing the ghost-sucking vacuum cleaner to our heroes. On the topic, the Ghost Vac is the name of the Sonic gang’s Poltergust equivalent.
** Ghoulsania Vixen is a ghostly painter like Vincent Van Ghoul. Unlike Van Ghoul, however, Ghoulsania is friendly.
** Knoal Seir the fortune teller is this fic’s answer to Madame Clairvoya.
* FriendlyGhost: One detail that separates this fanfic from ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' is that a good majority of the ghosts bear no hostility to Team Sonic, even sometimes willingly allowing themselves to be sucked into the Ghost Vacs after the trio does something that makes them happy. It helps that ghosts that are sucked into the vacuum are released into the afterlife, rather than getting trapped in a portrait.
* GreaterScopeVillain: As it turns out, Ghouleena is serving Shahl’tor’ohk, ruler of the underworld.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Ghouleena is defeated by her own staff once Amy gets her hands on it.
* LamePunReaction: Amy is annoyed with Tails’ {{Pun}} in Chapter 14. Sticks, [[ActuallyPrettyFunny not so much]].
* MrExposition: Knoal Seir is the one who notifies Amy, Tails, and Sticks of Ghouleena’s presence, what the ghostly sorceress intends to do, and where Sonic and Knuckles currently are.
* NotMeThisTime: Discussed in Chapter 4. Tails and Sticks are quick to blame Dr. Eggman for the suspicious invitations, but Amy isn’t sure this is his work. Of course, the audience found out two chapters ago that Eggman is indeed not behind this.
* OfficialCouple: Sonic and Amy are in a relationship in this story.
* OriginalCharacter: All of the residents of or outside the mansion, good or evil, are characters that the author created.
* PlotIrrelevantVillain: Dr. Eggman attacks Tails, Amy, and Sticks in Chapter 6, but has nothing to do with the mansion setup.
* ShoutOut: Unsurprisingly, to ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}''. After the trio use their Ghost Vacs for the first time, Tails refers to them as Ghostbusters.
* SmallRoleBigImpact:
** Rere’cros Ev’li Krad’s only role in the story is to provide the mail to Sonic and Knuckles that they won the mansion. After that, he’s never heard from again.
** Cornelius Monkey provides Amy, Sticks, and Tails with the ghost-hunting technology that’s definitely important, but doesn’t do much else in the story.
* VisualPun: As Amy, Sticks, and Tails discuss the disappearances of Sonic and Knuckles as well as the suspicious invitations, they find all of this "fishy". Cue the talking fish from the ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' cartoon.
