Gold Mouse

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.
