History

Luigi's Mansion

In Luigi's Mansion, Speedy Spirits hide in a certain object within certain rooms. 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, with the exception of three Speedy Spirits who can only be found during the blackout. If Luigi uncovers a Speedy Spirit and fails to catch it, it never comes back. It is possible to defeat a Speedy Spirit using an Elemental Ghost, although this means that the Speedy Spirit will not drop any treasure.

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.
