'''Gold Greenies''' are a gold variation of [[Greenie]]s in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. They have 20 [[Heart Point|HP]] (except for the hockey-player Gold Greenies at the [[Ice Lake]] in [[Cold Case]] which have 10 HP) and can be found usually in all missions in each mansion. They are hidden in several places of furniture or objects and spring at [[Luigi]] when he shakes the furniture or object. They do not attempt to hurt Luigi (except for the hockey-player Gold Greenies), instead they try to escape upon being sighted. Capturing one yields a large amount of treasure, a large amount of [[coin]]s, [[Bill]]s and usually one [[Gold Bar]], unless caught with another [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]] or with a full bar.

Their concept is based upon the [[Speedy Spirit]] from its predecessor, ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. Both hide in furniture, both attempt to escape, both yield a large sum of money if they are captured, and both cannot be found again if the player fails to catch them.
