The Clockwork Soldiers are a trio of portrait ghosts in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. They are mechanical wind-up toys that resemble marching drummers and each have a teal face with yellow hair and glowing green eyes. They wear marching clothes colored green, violet, and pink, respectively. The Clockwork Soldiers are the only portrait ghosts besides Spooky to have legs.

The Clockwork Soldiers are encountered in the Clockwork Room. They only become animated after Luigi starts the three clocks in the room. The Clockwork Soldiers each wield a popping cork gun, which they use to attack, inflicting ten HP of damage to Luigi upon hitting him. Luigi can begin vacuuming one of the Clockwork Soldiers by first vacuuming their wind-up key with the Poltergust 3000. The violet Clockwork Soldier is the only one who drops pearls while being vacuumed. Altogether, the Clockwork Soldiers have 300 HP combined, which is higher than any portrait ghost excluding King Boo. After the three Clockwork Soldiers are caught, the playhouse's doors open, granting Luigi access to the Roof.

Profiles[edit]

Description[edit]

Their description can be accessed from the Game Boy Horror in both versions, and also from the Gallery in the Nintendo 3DS version.

  • They once belonged to a tightly-wound toy collector, but now they march on their own without any winding.

Heart quote[edit]

Each portrait ghost has a quote displayed when scanned by the Game Boy Horror. Neville's quote is the following:

  • "The valve... The valve..." (Green soldier)
  • "Squeak squeak" (Blue soldier)
  • "Heyyyyy, stooooppp lookkkinnnggg at meeee!" (Pink soldier)
