Gold Mice (or gold mice),[1][2] also referred to as golden mice,[3] gold mouse ghosts,[4] or gold ghost mice,[5] are ghostly mice that appear in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. They are similar to the Blue Mice and Purple Mice, but they are more prominent because they release treasure if vacuumed into the Poltergust 3000. In this regard, they are similar to Speedy Spirits, which are also hidden ghosts that release treasure. Like Speedy Spirits, Gold Mice release a variety of treasure, which can include coins, bills, Gold Bars, and even a Stone. Every Gold Mouse releases 30 coins, ten more than what Speedy Spirits release. In the PAL Hidden Mansion, each Gold Mouse drops 30 coins, 20 bills, a Gold Bar, and a Blue Diamond. If defeated with an element, however, Gold Mice do not release any treasure.

Ten Gold Mice appear throughout the mansion, and they appear in a specific room from either one of two conditions. The five cheese golden mice[6] (or cheese mice)[7] emerge from a hidden piece of cheese if Luigi scans it with the Game Boy Horror, while the five random golden mice[6] (or Random Mice)[8] have a 20 percent chance of appearing in a predetermined room or hallway. When one appears, the "puzzle complete" jingle plays, followed by the mouse squeaking. Luigi must capture a Gold Mouse before it escapes into the wall. However, unlike with Speedy Spirits, Luigi has another opportunity at catching the Gold Mouse if he reenters the location later, as long as the lights are not on.
