No Mario is not playable in Luigi's Mansion.
No Mario does not wear the Poltergust 3000 in the final version of the game.
This is the Unused and unfinished model of Mario that is still in the game's files. Now the model has a few issues, like for example having a third eyebrow inside Mario's head. I seriously did not add that in there for lols, I kept it for lols but it was there to begin with.

The model actually didn't have the Poltergust 3000, but had the straps for it which is how I knew that he was supposed to wear it.
For those who don't know, Luigi's Mansion started off as a game where Mario would catch these ghosts with a vacuum crleaner inside some japanese house. This model is most likely from that, the game was changed due to it was more Luigi's personality to get scared of ghosts rather than Mario. There are noticable differences between this and the final version of Mario (which I have and will import at some point in time). He has Luigi's hands, his textures are larger, he has only one eye texture, he has the straps for the vacuum.
This import has:
Excellent rig, though iffy in some places due to the amount of vertices, and I did the best I could with the straps.

Perfect normals
Lighting issues, I had to rotate the poltergust 180 degrees and for some reason that threw the lighting way off so when Mario is dark, the Poltergust is bright, and vice versus. Think of it as oh it's bright, don't need the poltergust, oh its dark I need the poltergust.
No FS, no capless hair, no hurt face, and no blinking eyes.

Why? To reflect on how the model was unfinished. I believe it's unfinished because if Mario was going to be playable in the final game, they probably would've made his model and textures closer to Luigi's since Luigi is lower poly, my guess they would've lowered the detail to keep the same frame rate despite the GameCube clearly being able to handle more as shown via Melee.
