Template:Species-infobox The Gold Ghost is the first ghost Luigi encounters in Luigi's Mansion. It is first met in the Parlor, which is accessed after obtaining the key from a Gold Ghost in the Foyer, after blowing all six candles out with the Poltergust 3000. The paintings in the room would come to life, then the doors would seal up and three of these ghouls would appear, one-by-one. These normal ghosts would only have ten HP and would be easy to beat once Luigi was accustomed to his new vacuum. This ghost's tactic of choice is to move directly towards Luigi and attack using a short-range uppercut. They would reappear countless times in the mansion, found in groups of two or more and could be hurt by any element. Professor E. Gadd also trains Luigi with these kinds of ghosts in the training room. They chase Luigi but don't attack him, unlike the ones found in the mansion.
