Ghost Guys (originally known as masked ghosts,[1][2][3] Maskboos,[4] or simply Shy Guys[5]) are ghosts that appear in Luigi's Mansion and its remake. They appear in a multitude of colors, wear eyeless Shy Guy masks, and are equipped with pitchforks resembling those carried by Beezos from Super Mario Bros. 2 and the non-Super Mario game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. When Luigi uses the vacuum on them, the masks come off, revealing two yellow eyes and a small black hole for a mouth that are actually set on the hoods that they wear. Removing their masks also allows them to be stunned with the flashlight and vacuumed. They have 20 HP.
There are two types between the colors: ones with plain white masks appear in red and green and will pursue Luigi slowly, with the red type jabbing at him and the green type twirling the spear when close enough. They appear in the Astral Hall. Ones with red and white masks (the same colors as a Phanto) with drawn on mustaches dance in pairs (pink with purple, yellow with orange, and white with brown) in a circular motion, with one occasionally swinging its spear in a circular motion for the other to duck under. This type is called a dancing masked ghost[3] or, in the remake, Dancing Ghost Guy. If Luigi captures one in a pair, its partner will pursue him like the red and green types, only spinning the spear to attack. A group of six dancing Ghost Guys appear in the Ball Room, where The Floating Whirlindas appear after Luigi catches them, and another group of six appears on the Roof near a fire.
Standard Ghost Guys are more widespread enemies in the PAL version's Hidden Mansion. Dancing Ghost Guys, however, appear slightly less, as the number on the roof has been reduced to two.
