The '''Gold Ghost''' is the first ghost [[Luigi]] encounters in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. It is first met in the [[Parlor]], which is accessed after obtaining the key from a Gold Ghost in the [[Foyer]], after blowing all six candles out with the [[Poltergust 3000]]. The paintings in the room would come to life, then the doors would seal up and three of these ghouls would appear, one-by-one. These normal ghosts would only have ten [[Heart Point|HP]] and would be easy to beat once Luigi was accustomed to his new vacuum. This ghost's tactic of choice is to move directly towards Luigi and attack using a short-range uppercut. They would reappear countless times in the mansion, found in groups of two or more and could be hurt by any element. Professor E. Gadd also trains Luigi with these kinds of ghosts in the training room. They chase Luigi but don't attack him, unlike the ones found in the mansion.
