In the game and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|Nintendo 3DS version]], Gold Ghosts are the first type of ghost encountered by [[Luigi]]. One Gold Ghost is first seen in the [[Foyer (Luigi's Mansion)|Foyer]] as a foggy cloud carrying a [[key]], which then goes through a door into the [[Parlor (Luigi's Mansion)|Parlor]]. There, a group of them accost him, leading him to meet [[Professor E. Gadd]]. They later appear in the training mode in E. Gadd's hideout, where they chase Luigi but do not attack him, unlike the ones found in the mansion. They reappear countless times throughout the mansion, found in groups of two or more and can be hurt by any element. Three Gold Ghosts (five in the PAL Hidden Mansion) are fought as the first wave of ghosts [[Vincent Van Gore]] sends at Luigi. Though Gold Ghosts do not return in any later games of the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]], their equivalents in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' and ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' are [[Greenie]]s and [[Goob]]s, repsectively.

Gold Ghosts have only made minor appearances in other games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]], a Gold Ghost briefly appears in [[Starbeans Cafe]] after the player brews the first drink where it scares Luigi, only to be sucked up by Professor E. Gadd upon entering. In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and its [[New Play Control!]] version, Gold Ghosts are among the ghost species to appear in the [[Luigi's Mansion Court]] as well as the [[minigame]] [[Terror Tennis]]. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Gold Ghosts, simply referred to as "ghosts," are obstacles in the minigame [[Specter Inspector]], although they are colored yellow like a [[Bowling Ghost]]. In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Gold Ghosts appear in the unlockable stadium [[Luigi's Mansion (baseball stadium)|Luigi's Mansion]]. In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', Gold Ghosts make their first appearance as spectators during the sporting events.

Gold Ghosts make a few cameo appearances in crossover games. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', a Gold Ghost appears as a part of a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Ghosts from ''Luigi's Mansion'', alongside a [[Blue Twirler]] and a [[Purple Puncher]]. In the ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' minigame [[Luigi's Ghost Mansion]], the [[Mii]] attacking the other four Mii players wears a Gold Ghost costume.
