Sneaker
- Not to be confused with Sneeker.
Sneakers are pink ghosts that appear in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. They usually appear in a group of three or with two or three Greenies at most times. They have 25 HP. There is also a stronger variety which was made by the crystals in the Secret Mine, but its first appearance in the game is actually in the mansion before, the Old Clockworks; it also marks the first appearance of any strong ghosts in the game.
Sneakers sneak behind Luigi and scare him, disrupting him while he is sucking ghosts with the Poltergust 5000. They can attack by shoving Luigi, causing him to lose HP. Although a Sneaker is normally invisible until it goes behind Luigi, the player can use the Dark-Light Device to find it while it is sneaking, or they can see the dust it kicks up in sand and snow. Their actions seem to resemble Bashers from early development of the previous game.
