==History==
===''Luigi's Mansion''===
Speedy Spirits hide in a certain object within certain rooms in ''Luigi's Mansion''. Unlike other ghosts, Speedy Spirits try to hide from [[Luigi]]. If they are discovered by examining an object, they panic and attempt to flee. Luigi must shine his [[Flashlight]] on it and immediately suck it up before they flee, especially since Speedy Spirits are stunned by the flashlight shorter than other ghosts. Speedy Spirits have 10 HP, and if Luigi manages to capture one, it drops treasure, which always includes [[coin]]s, but sometimes includes valuable treasures, such as [[Stone (Luigi's Mansion)|Stone]]s; similarly, [[Gold Mouse|Gold Mice]] also move fast and drop treasure when caught. Speedy Spirits are only found when a room is dark. If Luigi does not uncover a Speedy Spirit and the lights turn on in the room, they will not reappear during the [[blackout]]. If Luigi uncovers a Speedy Spirit and fails to catch it, [[Missable content|it never comes back]]. Though the player can also use an [[Elemental Ghost]] to defeat a Speedy Spirit, it will not drop any treasure should this happen.


Speedy Spirits are pale blue and have a similar build to a [[Gold Ghost]]. Unlike others who attack [[Luigi]], Speedy Spirits hide from him. If they are discovered by examining an object, they panic and try to run off. Luigi must shine his [[Flashlight]] on it and immediately suck it up before they flee. If Luigi manages to capture one of them, it yields a large amount of treasure, which always includes [[Coin]]s, but sometimes includes valuable treasures, such as [[Stone]]s. In the PAL Hidden Mansion, all Speedy Spirits drop [[Silver Diamond]]s, but they do not drop any [[Stone]]s. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version's Hidden Mansion, the Speedy Spirit locations are changed. There are a total of 15 Speedy Spirits in the mansion. [[Gold Mouse|Gold Mice]] are similar treasure-yielding Ghosts.
In the PAL Hidden Mansion, every Speedy Spirit drops 30 coins, 20 [[bill]]s, one [[Gold Bar]], and one [[Blue Diamond]]. In the Nintendo 3DS remake's Hidden Mansion, Speedy Spirits appear in different rooms. Regardless, there are a total of fifteen Speedy Spirits; their locations in both the original mansion and the Nintendo 3DS version's Hidden Mansion, as well as the treasures that they release, are as follows:


Speedy Spirits are only found when a room is dark. Luigi should search everything in a room carefully before turning on the lights. Also, the length of time they are stunned by the flashlight is the shortest of any ghost. If Luigi doesn't uncover a Speedy Spirit and the lights turn on in the room, they will be gone forever. Also, if Luigi uncovers a Speedy Spirit and fails to catch it, [[List of missable content|it never comes back]], even during the [[blackout]]. However, some Speedy Spirit ghosts are only able to be captured during the blackout. Luigi can use an [[Elemental Ghost]] to defeat a Speedy Spirit, but the Speedy Spirit won't drop anything if he does.

Speedy Spirits, also known as blue ghosts[1][2] or rich ghosts,[3] are ghosts appearing mainly in Luigi's Mansion and its reissue. They are pale blue variants of Gold Ghosts, which they share a similar build to. Similar ghosts named Gold Greenies and Golden Goobs appear in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 3, respectively.

History[edit]

Luigi's Mansion[edit]

Speedy Spirits hide in a certain object within certain rooms in Luigi's Mansion. Unlike other ghosts, Speedy Spirits try to hide from Luigi. If they are discovered by examining an object, they panic and attempt to flee. Luigi must shine his Flashlight on it and immediately suck it up before they flee, especially since Speedy Spirits are stunned by the flashlight shorter than other ghosts. Speedy Spirits have 10 HP, and if Luigi manages to capture one, it drops treasure, which always includes coins, but sometimes includes valuable treasures, such as Stones; similarly, Gold Mice also move fast and drop treasure when caught. Speedy Spirits are only found when a room is dark. If Luigi does not uncover a Speedy Spirit and the lights turn on in the room, they will not reappear during the blackout. If Luigi uncovers a Speedy Spirit and fails to catch it, it never comes back. Though the player can also use an Elemental Ghost to defeat a Speedy Spirit, it will not drop any treasure should this happen.

In the PAL Hidden Mansion, every Speedy Spirit drops 30 coins, 20 bills, one Gold Bar, and one Blue Diamond. In the Nintendo 3DS remake's Hidden Mansion, Speedy Spirits appear in different rooms.
