Dancing Ghost Guys (originally known as dancing masked ghosts)[1] are a type of ghost in Luigi's Mansion. They are Ghost Guys wearing red and white masks with drawn-on mustaches (somewhat resembling Phanto) that dance in pairs (pink with purple, yellow with orange, and white with brown) in a circular motion, with one occasionally swinging its spear in a circular motion for the other to duck under. If Luigi captures one in a pair, its partner will pursue him spinning the spear to attack similar to how green Ghost Guys attack. A group of six dancing Ghost Guys appears in the Ball Room, where The Floating Whirlindas appear after Luigi catches them, and another group of six (two in the PAL version's Hidden Mansion) appears on the Roof near a fire.

The noises produced by dancing Ghost Guys are recycled as the primary noises for Shy Guys in general in later games.
