Sneakers are pink ghosts that only appear inLuigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. They usually appear in a group of three or with two or threeGreenies at most times. They have 25HP. There is also astronger variety which was made by the crystals in theSecret Mine, but its first appearance in the game is in thefifth mission of the previous mansion, theOld Clockworks; it also marks the first appearance of crystal-enhanced ghosts in the game.
Sneakers sneak behind Luigi and scare him, disrupting him while he is sucking ghosts with thePoltergust 5000. They can attack by shoving Luigi, causing him to loseHP. Although a Sneaker is normally invisible until it goes behindLuigi, the player can use theDark-Light Device to find it while it is sneaking, or they can see the dust it kicks up in sand and snow. If Luigi is in front of a mirror or on ice, he can easily see the ghosts without the need of theDark-Light Device. Their actions resemble those ofGrabbing Ghosts from theprevious game.
Sneakers are the only normal type of ghost inLuigi's Mansion: Dark Moon to be absent fromLuigi's Mansion Arcade.
