“This is a Spirit Ball, a paranormal specimen with the ability to cause illusions.”

—Professor E. Gadd,Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

Spirit Balls are ghosts that appear inLuigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (as well asLuigi's Mansion 2 HD) andLuigi's Mansion 3 that were given toBoos from King Boo's power-enhancing bejeweled crown. Their appearance is based on either thehitodama or thewill-o'-the-wisp. They have powers to hide one specific object, making it invisible and intangible, though it is still visible in mirrors and during lightning strikes. After Luigi uses theDark-Light Device on an invisible object to reveal its presence, Spirit Balls are forced out, and Luigi must use hisPoltergust 5000 orPoltergust G-00 to suck them up. The object glows purple and is unable to be interacted with until the Balls are sucked up with the Poltergust. If he does not suck the Spirit Balls up in a certain amount of time, they go back to the object and turn it invisible again. Spirit Balls can hurt Luigi if he touches them, dealing 5HP of damage.

InLuigi's Mansion: Dark Moon andLuigi's Mansion 2 HD, in a mission in Gloomy Manor, a Boo is seen producing some Spirit Balls. Unlike other ghosts, they cannot be sent to theVault and do not appear in theScareScraper; invisible objects simply get revealed without needing to suck them up.

Luigi's Mansion 3 introduces a magenta variant of Spirit Balls. These Spirit Balls bring whatever objects they interact with to life, such asbins andchests. Like with the blue Spirit Balls, Luigi must use the Dark-Light Device to force the Spirit Balls out and suck them up with the Poltergust G-00, turning the object back to normal.
