Gold Greenies are a golden variant of Greenies in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
Information[]
Physical description[]
Gold Greenies are identical to normal Greenies, although - per their description, their green bodies were traded for molten gold bodies.
Powers and abilites[]
Gold Greenies have 20 HP. They have the same abilities as normal Greenies. When they are captured, they release a large amount of gold.
Gold Greenie locations[]
Gold Greenies are found by examining objects or completing mini-puzzles within the game.
Gold Greenies are typically encountered in every mission of every mansion. They hide in furniture, but unlike Hiders, they never show any signs of their presence and are already hidden when entering the room. They remain hidden completely independent of what happens in the room and can only be revealed by examining the object they are hiding in. When discovered, they spring at Luigi, then fly around the room for about 10 seconds before disappearing.
Here is a table providing each of the Gold Greenie's locations and how to find them.
| Mansion | Mission | Room(s) | How/Where to find |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gloomy Manor | Gear Up | Coatroom | Sit on the toilet to warp to the bathroom. Then, vacuum off the carpet to expose the Gold Greenie. |
| Gloomy Manor | Quiet Please! | Coatroom | Pull off all four jackets to expose the Gold Greenie. |
| Gloomy Manor | Visual Tricks | Garage | Open up the treasure chest. As Luigi tries to leave, the Gold Greenie appears in the car. |
| Gloomy Manor | Sticky Situation | Patio | A Gold Greenie is seen at the pool, splashing a Greenie with water. |
| Haunted Towers | The Pinwheel Gate | Courtyard | To the right, use the Dark-Light Device on a missing stone. Then, collect a thorny plant and travel to the stone. Destroy the fake Greenie to expose a Gold Greenie. |
| Haunted Towers | Graveyard Shift | Hydro Generator | First, look through the Hydro Generator in the Haunted Towers Entrance to find a Gold Greenie playing in the water. Then travel to the room to capture it. |

| Haunted Towers | Doggone Key | Toolshed Stairs | On the third floor of the Toolshed Stairs, open the drawer to expose the Gold Greenie. First, take care of a nearby bat just higher up. |
| Old Clockworks | A Timely Entrance | Workshop | After capturing the two Greenies, pull on a chain to open a vent on the roof to expose a Gold Greenie. |
| Old Clockworks | Underground Expedition | Canyon Narrows and Quarry | There are 6 Gold Greenies in this level. The first 5 are found in the Canyon Narrows. There is a shaking door which leads to a pocket challenge. Each Gold Greenie is hidden in treasure chests. Luigi will need to find and capture them all before the hour glass fills up. As the Quarry fills up with sand, a Gold Greenie may randomly appear during the fight with many Greenies. |
| Old Clockworks | Roundhouse Brawl | Warehouse | Use the elevator on the left to go up, then blow up the rubble blocking the door. Once you do, you'll find a box that's moving around. Follow it until it stops moving, then open it to expose the Gold Greenie. |
| Old Clockworks | Piece at Last | Crank Room | There are 2 Gold Greenies in this level. They are both found in the Crank Room. The first one is found sleeping northeast of the room. To get to it, slowly walk past the Slammers, then travel up the gear and into the alcove to capture the Gold Greenie. The second one is found in the second locker to the left. |
| Secret Mine | Cold Case | Chalet, Ice Lake and Under the Ice | There are 4 Gold Greenies in the level. The first one is in the Chalet. Pull on the bear's tail to expose it. This is easier to do after capturing the Hiders and Sneaker. There are two in the Ice Lake. At the southeastern corner, place the puck into the goal. Two Gold Greenies will appear, one wearing a hat and one as a hockey player. These are the only Gold Greenies that attempt to hurt Luigi, and are the only ones with 10 HP. The final one is in Under the Ice. Pull on both ropes on the large fish to expose it. |
| Secret Mine | Hit Rock Bottom | Shaft and Deep Hall | There are 2 Gold Greenies in this level. The first one is found in the Shaft. While you're going down, a Gold Greenie will appear in the background holding up a crystal. Make sure to get it quickly before it disappears. The second one is found in the Deep Hall. Look into the hole into the Cinder Mine before entering the room. There is a Gold Greenie next to a key. After looking out of it, a Sneaker will appear and trip Luigi up. The Gold Greenie enters. It and the Sneaker both laugh at Luigi and give each other a high-five. |
| Secret Mine | Across the Chasm | Pit Mine/Deep Hall | In the Pit Mine, activate the machinery. There is a gold block of ice. It will travel through the E-Gate. In the Deep Hall. Carry the block over to the fire. This turns into a Gold Greenie. |
| Treacherous Mansion | Front-Door Key | Veranda | At the graves, blow out all of the candles to expose the Gold Greenie. |
| Treacherous Mansion | Double Trouble | Jungle Exhibit and Grand West | In the Jungle Exhibit on Basement 1, vacuum on the northwestern red plant. Vacuum on it long enough to expose a Gold Greenie. In the Grand West, use the Dark-Light Device on a hidden drawer. Open it to expose the Gold Greenie. |
| Treacherous Mansion | A Train to Catch | Space Exhibit and Archives | For the one in the Space Exhibit, grab a log from the Jungle Exhibit, set it on fire from the Ancient Exhibit, then take it back to the Space Exhibit the set off the rocket containing the Gold Greenie. After leaving the Space Exhibit, the Gold Greenie will return, so return back into the room to capture it. In the Archives, there are four boxes. Open the one southwest first, then northeast, then northwest, then finally, southeast. This will expose the Gold Greenie. These are also the last Gold Greenies in the game. |

Trivia[]
- The maximum amount of Gold Greenies able to be found at one time is 5; all of them are found in a hidden room inside the Old Clockworks.
- They are based on the Speedy Spirits from Luigi's Mansion. Both hide in furniture, both attempt to escape, both yield a large sum of money if they are captured, and both cannot be found again if the player fails to catch them.
- Gold Greenies are succeeded by Golden Goobs in Luigi's Mansion 3.
- They were once referred to as "Goldies" by fans on walkthroughs thinking it was the official name.
Cultural references[]
- The idea of Gold Greenies giving money when captured might possibly be inspired from New Super Mario Bros. 2, as within its levels that have Gold Ring would turn all enemies gold, and give coins when defeated.
