Speedy Spirit

Speedy Spirits are rare ghosts found in Luigi's Mansion.

Speedy Spirits are pale blue and unlike others who attack Luigi, Speedy Spirits hide from him and if they are discovered by examining an object, they will panic and try to run off. Shine Luigi's light on it and immediately suck it up before it does. If Luigi manages to capture one of them, it will give some hidden treasure which can consist of anything from coins to precious gems. Speedy Spirits and Gold Mice are also called Money Ghosts.

Speedy Spirits are only found when a room is dark, so Luigi should search everything in a room carefully before turning on the lights. They are quite frustrating to bag, as they tend disappear in a blink of an eye. They are immune to any element as well, so don't waste time spraying them. If you don't catch a Speedy Spirit and the lights are on in the room, don't worry; you will get one more chance to catch them. When the power goes out in the mansion it resets the Speedy Spirits so you can try capture them again, but it will be harder because of the large amount of other ghosts after you. However, if you uncover a Speedy Spirit and fail to catch it, it will never come back, even after the blackout. Therefore you will have to reload the game and try again.


 * Three Speedy Spirits can only be found in the Blackout: Melody's piano bench (Conservatory, Green Jewel), Chauncey's crib (Nursery, 30 Gold Coins and 20 Bills), and in the Hidden Room (Red Jewel). Look out for extra ghosts!
