'''Goobs''' are blue [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''. They are the most common ghosts in the game, as well as the first ghosts to be fought. Behaving mischievously and punching to attack, they are the successor to [[Greenie]]s from ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. Goobs may also perform a whirling spin attack. Each Goob has 100 [[Heart Point|HP]]. Their name is likely a portmanteau of "goo" (referring to ectoplasm) and "goober".

Like Greenies, Goobs can also use weapons and objects to defend themselves, such as sunglasses and shields, which can be vacuumed away or pulled away with a [[Suction Shot]]. There are also [[Golden Goob]]s similar to [[Gold Greenie]]s which drop more treasure, as well as [[Jewel Rausuto|another variety]] that drops a gem when defeated. There are also smaller variants called [[Mini Goob]]s which appear in hordes and can be sucked up quickly.

At the start of the game, when [[Luigi]] enters the [[Grand Lobby]], there are Goobs disguised as humans. These ghosts are seen later on in their true form the next time Luigi enters the lobby, boarding up the front doors to prevent him from escaping. Goobs are encountered normally throughout the game, usually in groups of two or more.

*In [[Castle MacFrights]] on the [[Coliseum Balcony]], a pair of Goobs with trumpets play a fanfare for [[King MacFrights]]' introduction and when King MacFrights dares Luigi to reach him through his castle, the Goobs play their trumpets again. In the castle, Goobs with a sword or shield try to attack Luigi.  

*While floating through the flooded sewers in the [[Boilerworks]], scuba-diving Goobs posing as sharks will swim through the water in an attempt to pop Luigi's inner tube. They cannot be stunned or sucked up in this state. Once Luigi lowers the water level, these Goobs can be found floundering helplessly on the sewer floor. By removing their goggles, Luigi can flash them with the [[Strobulb]] and battle them as usual.

*In the [[Central Chamber]] of the pyramid in [[Tomb Suites]], [[Mummy|mummies]] may emerge from sarcophagi lining the room to stagger after Luigi. Once their wrappings are unraveled, many of these mummies are revealed to be Goobs or [[Slinker]]s, which then proceed to attack as normal.

*The first phase of [[DJ Phantasmagloria]]'s boss fight has Luigi attempting to reclaim the [[Master Suite]]'s [[elevator button]] from an octet of Goobs dressed like breakdancers, capable of attacking with various dance moves and passing the button amongst each other. Once the ghost carrying the button is sucked up, the rest of them disappear as Phantasmagloria reclaims the button and attacks Luigi herself; the remaining Goobs are fought later, but they act as normal Goobs.

The end of the game reveals the Goobs were being brainwashed by [[King Boo]], as they and the other ghosts quickly become social once the jewel from King Boo's crown vanishes from Luigi's hands as they were about to attack him. Among the rest of the standard ghosts in the game (save for [[Trapper]]s), Goobs are seen working with the protagonists to rebuild the fallen hotel through a series of pictures presented during the closing credits.
