Goobs are blue ghosts in Luigi's Mansion 3. They are the most common ghosts in the game, as well as the first ghosts to be fought. Behaving mischievously and punching to attack, they are the successor to Greenies from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Goobs may also perform a whirling spin attack. Each Goob has 100 HP.
Like Greenies, Goobs can also use weapons and objects to defend themselves, such as sunglasses and shields, which can be vacuumed away or pulled away with a Suction Shot. There are also Golden Goobs similar to Gold Greenies which drop more treasure, as well as another variety that drops a gem when defeated. There are also smaller variants called Mini Goobs which appear in hordes and can be sucked up quickly.
At the start of the game, when Luigi enters the Grand Lobby, there are Goobs disguised as humans. These ghosts are seen later on in their true form the next time Luigi enters the lobby, boarding up the front doors to prevent him from escaping. Goobs are encountered normally throughout the game, usually in groups of two or more.
Special Goobs with unique behaviors appear on certain floors and in boss fights.
- Amadeus Wolfgeist summons ballet-dancing Goobs wearing tutus and Strobulb-blocking masks for the second part of his battle. These Goobs attack by pirouetting into Luigi and cannot be stunned until their masks are removed; once all of them are defeated, Amadeus will possess his piano and begin attacking Luigi personally.
- In Castle MacFrights on the Coliseum Balcony, a pair of Goobs with trumpets play a fanfare for King MacFrights' introduction and when King MacFrights dares Luigi to reach him through his castle, the Goobs play their trumpets again. In the castle, Goobs with a sword or shield try to attack Luigi.
- During the boss fight in Paranormal Productions, Morty films Luigi battling a Goob wearing the upper body of a kaiju suit. The suit enables the Goob to breathe various types of fireballs and expel hot breath, but once it's destroyed, the ghost behaves identically to a regular Goob.
- While floating through the flooded sewers in the Boilerworks, scuba-diving Goobs posing as sharks will swim through the water in an attempt to pop Luigi's inner tube. They cannot be stunned or sucked up in this state. Once Luigi lowers the water level, these Goobs can be found floundering helplessly on the sewer floor. By removing their goggles, Luigi can flash them with the Strobulb and battle them as usual.
- In the Central Chamber of the pyramid in Tomb Suites, mummies may emerge from sarcophagi lining the room to stagger after Luigi. Once their wrappings are unraveled, many of these mummies are revealed to be Goobs or Slinkers, which then proceed to attack as normal.
- The first phase of DJ Phantasmagloria's boss fight has Luigi attempting to reclaim the Master Suite's elevator button from an octet of Goobs dressed like breakdancers, capable of attacking with various dance moves and passing the button amongst each other. Once the ghost carrying the button is sucked up, the rest of them disappear as Phantasmagloria reclaims the button and attacks Luigi herself; the remaining Goobs are fought later, but they act as normal Goobs.
The end of the game reveals the Goobs were being brainwashed by King Boo, as they and the other ghosts become social once the jewel from King Boo's crown soon vanishes from Luigi's hands as they were about to attack him. Among the rest of the game's standard ghosts (save for Trappers), Goobs are seen working with the protagonists to rebuild the fallen hotel through a series of pictures presented during the closing credits.
