History[edit]
Luigi's Mansion[edit]
Speedy Spirits hide in a certain object within certain rooms inLuigi's Mansion. Unlike other ghosts, Speedy Spirits try to hide fromLuigi. If they are discovered by examining an object, they panic and attempt to flee. Luigi must shine hisFlashlight on it and immediately suck it up before they flee, especially since Speedy Spirits are stunned by the flashlight shorter than other ghosts. Speedy Spirits have 10 HP, and if Luigi manages to capture one, it drops treasure, which always includescoins, but sometimes includes valuable treasures, such asStones; similarly,Gold Mice also move fast and drop treasure when caught. Speedy Spirits are only found when a room is dark. If Luigi does not uncover a Speedy Spirit and the lights turn on in the room, they will not reappear during theblackout. If Luigi uncovers a Speedy Spirit and fails to catch it,it never comes back unless the player resets the game without saving. Though the player can also use anElemental Ghost to defeat a Speedy Spirit, it will not drop any treasure should this happen.
In the PAL Hidden Mansion, every Speedy Spirit drops 30 coins, 20bills, oneGold Bar, and oneBlue Diamond. In the Nintendo 3DS remake's Hidden Mansion, Speedy Spirits appear in different rooms. Regardless, there are a total of fifteen Speedy Spirits; their locations in both the original mansion and the Nintendo 3DS version's Hidden Mansion, as well as the treasures that they release, are as follows:
