ScareScraper Ghosts (referred to as Thrill Tower Ghosts in British English localizations of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon) are ghosts that are exclusive to the ScareScraper, which first appeared in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and returned in Luigi's Mansion 3. Most of these ghosts are alternate skins of normal ghosts appearing the main story of their respective games. They also have new skills and abilities compared to the normal ghosts.
In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon / Luigi's Mansion 2 HD[]
The ScareScraper Ghosts make their debut in this game. Here, there are seven types of ScareScraper Ghosts based on the normal ghost types; Greenies, Slammers, Sneakers, Creepers, Gobbers, Polterpups and Poltergeists. Six of them serve as bosses fought on every fifth floor, whilst the Polterpups are only found in Polterpup mode.
Boss ghosts[]
These ghosts appear as larger, limeish-yellow versions of five of the normal ghosts. They behave in the same manner as their normal counterparts, although with newfond abilities.
