Ten Gold Mice appear throughout [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|the mansion]], and they appear in a location from either one of two conditions. Half of them emerge from a hidden [[cheese]] block if [[Luigi]] scans it with the [[Game Boy Horror]], while the other five have a 20 percent chance of appearing in a predetermined room or hallway.

Template:Quote2 Gold Mice (alternatively gold mice)[1][2] are ghostly mice that appear in Luigi's Mansion. They are similar to the Blue Mice and Purple Mice, but they are more prominent because they release treasure if vacuumed into the Poltergust 3000. In this regard, they are similar to Speedy Spirits, which are also hidden ghosts who release treasure. If defeated with an element, however, they do not relinquish any treasure.

Ten Gold Mice appear throughout the mansion, and they appear in a location from either one of two conditions. Half of them emerge from a hidden cheese block if Luigi scans it with the Game Boy Horror, while the other five have a 20 percent chance of appearing in a predetermined room or hallway. When one appears, the "puzzle complete" jingle plays, followed by the mouse squeaking. Luigi must capture a Gold Mouse before it escapes into the wall. However, unlike with Speedy Spirits, Luigi has another opportunity at catching the Gold Mouse if he reenters the location later, as long as the lights are not turned on.

Gold Mice release a variety of treasure, including coins, bills, Gold Bars, and even a Stone. Every Gold Mouse releases 30 coins, ten more than the number released by Speedy Spirits. In the PAL Hidden Mansion, each Gold Mouse relinquishes 30 coins, 20 bills, a Gold Bar, and a Blue Diamond.
