| '''The Floating Whirlindas''' are a pair of [[portrait ghost]]s in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. They were once the local waltz champions, but since they are ghosts, The Floating Whirlindas are no longer able to compete. Their name is possibly a pun on "{{wp|The Flying Wallendas}}," a family of acrobats in real life. Their portrait number in the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]] is 10.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=04:00|url=youtu.be/vsVY_MCWnPc?feature=shared&t=240|title=''Luigi's Mansion'' - Full Gallery Portraits Showcase (Bronze, Silver & Gold)|author=RetroArchive|date=January 25, 2023|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>

| The Floating Whirlindas are encountered in the [[Ball Room]]. They are the first portrait ghosts of Area Two and the fourth overall. After Luigi defeats the six [[Ghost Guy]]s in the room, the Floating Whirlindas appear.<ref>{{cite|author=Sinfield, George|date=2001|page=35|title=''Luigi's Mansion'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|quote=When the Shy Guys are gone, you'll go up against the Floating Whirlindas, a graceful pair of gallery ghosts.|isbn=1-930206-14-3}}</ref> Different music plays and circular parts of the floor spin while the pair waltz, occasionally moving on to a different spinning tile. After a while, The Floating Whirlindas reveal themselves and bow after their performance, making them vulnerable to being captured by the [[Poltergust 3000]].<ref>{{cite|quote=Wait for the Whirlindas to spin dramatically and bow, then stun and capture them.|author=Sinfield|title=''Luigi's Mansion'' Player's Guide|page=35}}</ref> Once Luigi has caught the pair, a chest with the [[key]] to the {{id|Storage Room|LM}} appears.

| Mr. Whirlinda wears a fancy red long sleeved patterned jacket with a purple shirt underneath. It has purple buttons and matching colored bow-tie. He has orange-yellow hair and green eyes. They both have sky-blue skin.
| | The Floating Whirlindas used to be the local waltz champions, but unfortunately they aren't allowed to compete anymore because their feet can't touch the ground. The Whirlindas were found in the [[Ballroom]] on the first floor's east wing of the [[Luigi's Mansion (place)|mansion]]. They appeared after you defeat the six [[Shy Guy (ghost)|Shy Guy]]s in the room, making the dancing floor spin as they waltzed. [[Luigi|The green plumber]] had to wait until they bowed, making them vulnerable. After some medium tugs, Luigi earned the key to the [[Storage Room]]. |
