Gold Mouse is an enemy in Luigi's Mansion and its Nintendo 3DS version.
Profile[]
Physical description[]
They are ghostly mice with the same appearance as Blue Mice and Purple Mice, except they are yellow.
Behavior[]
A Gold Mouse is either hiding in the wall or a block of cheese in certain rooms. If revealed, a Gold Mouse quickly moves in a fixed path over to the other side to try and escape. If vacuumed into the Poltergust 3000, a Gold Mouse releases lots of treasure, something that Speedy Spirits also do. If a Gold Mouse is defeated from an element, it does not release any treasure.
In Luigi's Mansion[]
There are a total of ten Gold Mice. Five of the Gold Mice are hiding in a block of cheese, each in a specific room, and Luigi can reveal one of these Gold Mice by scanning the block of cheese using his Game Boy Horror. The other five Gold Mice have a 20 percent chance of appearing from the wall in a predetermined room or hallway. In either case, when a Gold Mouse is revealed, the "puzzle complete" jingle plays, followed by the mouse squeaking. Unlike Speedy Spirits, Luigi has another opportunity at catching the Gold Mouse if he re-enters the location later, which includes during the blackout, 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.
