Clockwork Soldiers

The Clockwork Soldiers, the Toy Platoon (Japanese: パペット・アーミー Puppet Army) are a green, blue, and pink trio of Portrait Ghosts from Luigi's Mansion.

The Clockwork Soldiers are found in the Clockwork Room on the third floor of the mansion. The green-capped plumber found the Soldiers immobile. If Luigi starts the three clocks in the room, they awaken and begin attacking with toy cork guns. As they moved around, Luigi captured each in a hard struggle by sucking their wind-up keys with his Poltergust. After a messy affair, the playhouse's doors opened, granting access to the Roof.

Trivia

 * Only the Blue Soldier gives up the pearls, so it's best to save him for last.
 * In the credits, it should be noted that one of the ending pictures shows Luigi sucking up the blue Clockwork Soldier last hinting that doing so in the game itself could be useful.
 * The Clockwork Soldiers are the only ghosts in the entire game who possess legs.
 * The Clockwork Soldiers, along with Henry and Orville, are the only ghosts in the game that are fought in a group, excluding the Floating Whirlindas, since they are both vacuumed up at once.
 * Altogether, the Clockwork Soldiers have 300 HP, making them have the second highest HP (as a portrait ghost) in the game, along with King Boo, who has 500 HP.
