'''Gold Mice'''<ref>Sinfield, George. ''Luigi's Mansion'' Official [[Nintendo]] Player's Guide, page 85.</ref> are apparitions of mice found in the game ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. They come out when [[Luigi]] examines one of five pieces of [[cheese]] with his [[Game Boy Horror]] and then scurry around the room before escaping through the wall. Gold Mice also randomly appear in five predetermined rooms or hallways 20% of the time Luigi enters the room or hallway, for a total of ten mice in all throughout the mansion. If Luigi manages to suck one up before it escapes, a large amount of money will spray from the nozzle of the [[Poltergust 3000]], which can include valuable treasures like [[Stone]]s. In the PAL Hidden Mansion, all Gold Mice drop [[Silver Diamond]]s, but they do not drop any Stones. Unlike with [[Speedy Spirit]]s, if Luigi fails to catch a Gold Mouse, he is given other opportunities to do so, such as re-scanning a piece of cheese after exiting and re-entering a room.
 
Ten Gold Mice appear throughout the [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|mansion]], and appear in a location from either one of two conditions. Half of them emerge from a hidden [[cheese]] block if [[Luigi]] scans it with the [[Game Boy Horror]], while the other five have a twenty percent chance of appearing in a predetermined room or hallway. Luigi must capture a Gold Mouse before it escapes into the wall. However unlike Speedy Spirits, Luigi has another opportunity at catching the Gold Mouse if he re-enters the location later, as long as the lights are not turned on.
 
Gold Mice release a variety of treasure, including [[Coin]]s, [[Bill]]s, [[Gold Bar]]s, and even a [[Stone|Jewel]]. Every Gold Mouse releases thirty Coins, ten more than the amount released by Speedy Spirits. In the PAL [[Hidden Mansion]], Gold Mice relinquish a [[Silver Diamond]] instead of a Jewel.

This article is about the ghost enemy in Luigi's Mansion. For the rarer type of ambiance enemy in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, see Mouse.

Gold Mice[1] are an mice ghosts that appear in Luigi's Mansion. They are similar to the Blue and Purple Mice, but 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 who release treasure.

Ten Gold Mice appear throughout the mansion, and appear in a location from either one of two conditions. Half of them emerge from a hidden cheese block if Luigi scans it with the Game Boy Horror, while the other five have a twenty percent chance of appearing in a predetermined room or hallway. Luigi must capture a Gold Mouse before it escapes into the wall. However unlike Speedy Spirits, Luigi has another opportunity at catching the Gold Mouse if he re-enters the location later, as long as the lights are not turned on.

Gold Mice release a variety of treasure, including Coins, Bills, Gold Bars, and even a Jewel. Every Gold Mouse releases thirty Coins, ten more than the amount released by Speedy Spirits. In the PAL Hidden Mansion, Gold Mice relinquish a Silver Diamond instead of a Jewel.
