Ghost Guys are an enemy in Luigi's Mansion and its Nintendo 3DS version.
Profile[]
Physical description[]
Ghost Guys are a ghost variation of Shy Guys that wear robes of varying colors (similarly to Shy Guys themselves), wear eyeless masks, and carry a pitchfork resembling those carried by Beezos in Super Mario Bros. 2.
Removing a Ghost Guy's mask reveals that it has two yellow eyes and a small black hole for a mouth on the hood that it wears.
Behavior[]
Two Dancing Ghost Guys in the Ball Room in Luigi's Mansion
There are two types between the colors: red and green Ghost Guys wear plain white masks and pursue Luigi slowly, with the red type jabbing at him and the green type twirling its spear when close enough. Pink, purple, orange, yellow, and white Ghost Guys are known as Dancing Ghost Guys and wear red and white masks, matching the colors of a Phanto's, with drawn on mustaches.
Dancing Ghost Guys dance in pairs in a circular motion, and one of them occasionally swings its spear in a circular motion for the other Dancing Ghost Guy to duck under. If Luigi captures only one Dancing Ghost Guy in a pair, its partner starts behaving like regular Ghost Guys in that it only attacks by spinning its spear.
In Luigi's Mansion[]
A few pairs of Dancing Ghost Guys appear in the Ball Room, and Luigi has to vacuum them up for the The Floating Whirlindas to appear. A few of the regular types of Ghost Guys appear in the Astral Hall. Lastly, there are Dancing Ghost Guys on the Roof, near the fire. Both Ghost Guys and Dancing Ghost Guys appear more commonly in both the PAL version's as well as the Nintendo 3DS version's Hidden Mansion.
When Luigi uses the vacuum on a Ghost Guy, its mask comes off, revealing its face and allowing it to be stunned with the flashlight and vacuumed into the Poltergust 3000. Both Ghost Guys and Dancing Ghost Guys each have 20 HP.
