Pearls are the treasures that all Portrait Ghosts (excluding the pink and green Clockwork Soldiers, Chauncey, Henry and King Boo) drop in Luigi's Mansion. In Luigi's Mansion 3, they can be found by completing puzzles. Pearls take 1 minute to despawn.
Luigi's Mansion[]
- A small pearl is worth 50,000G(s) each, half as much as a Gold Bar.
- A medium pearl is worth 100,000G(s) each, same amount as a Gold Bar.
- A big pearl is worth 1,000,000G(s) each, half as much as a Silver Diamond.
Pearls are awarded for every 10 HP sucked up within one turn, and up to 90. If the total HP sums up to less than 50, Luigi is awarded a small pearl. If it sums to less than 90, it is a medium pearl. If it is 90, a large pearl is spawned. If Luigi collects all the pearls, he should have a total of 4 small pearls, 4 medium pearls, and 1 big pearl. This should total 1,600,000G(s). Pearls are what determines a ghost's portrait frame when captured. Getting only small pearls from a ghost results in a bronze frame, getting medium and small pearls (or just medium pearls) results in a silver frame, and getting a big pearl results in a gold frame. There are 19 big pearls in the entire mansion. If Luigi collects all 76 small, 76 medium, and 19 big pearls, he would earn total 30,400,000G(s) for all pearls collected in the entire mansion, which alone can earn an F rank.
Luigi's Mansion 3[]
In Luigi's Mansion 3, Pearls make a return. This time they are worth much less G, but each G is presumably much more than in Luigi's Mansion. They are only unlocked through chests and paintings, not through defeating ghosts. Boss ghosts do not drop pearls either. Each pearl adds 300G(s) to your gold counter. They can also be found in ScareScraper.
