'''Golden Goobs''' are [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] found in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''. They are rare, golden versions of [[Goob]]s, and they are the successor to [[Gold Greenie]]s from ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. They are occasionally found throughout [[The Last Resort]] and drop treasure if defeated. If Luigi finds one, it will panic and run around the room, trying to escape. If Luigi does not capture it in time, it will escape and cannot be captured anymore. Golden Goobs are also found in the [[ScareScraper]] in certain missions. They also have 250 health compared to the normal Goob's 100 health.

==Locations==
The following is a complete list of every Golden Goob location in ''Luigi's Mansion 3''. Most Golden Goobs are found in hidden furniture which must be revealed with the [[Dark-Light Device]]. Golden Goobs featured in [[ScreamPark]] minigames and [[ScareScraper]] are not listed here due to having different functions. The [[Grand Lobby]], the [[Unnatural History Museum]], and [[The Dance Hall]] do not have Golden Goobs.
