'''Speedy Spirits''' are rare ghosts found in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''.
==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 unlike others who attack [[Luigi]], Speedy Spirits hide from him. If they are discovered by examining an object, they will panic and try to run off. Luigi must shine his light on it and immediately suck it up before it does. If Luigi manages to capture one of them, it will give some hidden treasure which can consist of anything from coins to precious gems. Speedy Spirits and Gold Mice are also called Money 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, so Luigi should search everything in a room carefully before turning on the lights. They are quite frustrating to bag, as they tend to disappear in a blink of an eye. They are immune to any element as well, so Luigi shouldn't waste time spraying them. If Luigi doesn't catch a Speedy Spirit and the lights turn on in the room he will have ''one'' more chance to catch them. When the power goes out in the mansion, Luigi can attempt to capture the ones he missed, but it will be harder because of the large amount of other ghosts that are after him. However, if Luigi uncovers a Speedy Spirit and fails to catch it, it will never come back, even after the blackout. Therefore the player will have to reload the game to try again.

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. 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:
