History

Luigi's Mansion

InLuigi's Mansion and itsNintendo 3DS version, one Gold Ghost is first seen in theFoyer as a foggy cloud carrying akey, which then goes through a door into theParlor. There, a group of them accost Luigi, leading him to meetProfessor E. Gadd. They later appear in the training mode in E. Gadd's hideout, where they chase Luigi but do not attack him, unlike the ones found in the mansion. They reappear countless times throughout the mansion, found in groups of two or more and can be hurt by any element. Three Gold Ghosts (five in the PAL Hidden Mansion) are fought as the first wave of ghostsVincent Van Gore sends at Luigi.
