They have 30 HP each (45 in the PAL and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] [[Luigi's Mansion#Hidden Mansion|Hidden Mansion]]). Though Blue Twirlers do not appear in any later installments of the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]], [[Slammer (enemy)|Slammers]] from ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', and [[Hammer (Luigi's Mansion 3)|Hammers]] from ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' behave similarly to them. | | '''Blue Twirlers'''<ref>Sinfield, George. ''Luigi's Mansion'' Official [[Nintendo]] Player's Guide, page 85.</ref> are slow, normal ghosts that [[Luigi]] encountered in the game ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. They are one of the largest and most powerful non-portrait ghosts found in the mansion.
