'''Gold Bones''' are rare items found in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. They are similar to a [[1-Up Mushroom]] in the other games. If [[Luigi]] loses all his [[Heart Point|HP]] and has a gold bone, the [[Polterpup]] from the main story will completely restore all of Luigi's HP at the cost of the gold bone. Different from the 1-Up Mushroom, which acts as an [[extra life]] to the life counter, the gold bone will revive Luigi on the spot, allowing the player to continue the mission with the same progress as when Luigi fainted. Gold bones are only active for the mission attempt they are acquired on. If the player finishes the mission, keeping the gold bone, it will be "removed" and added to the total treasure stat for that attempt, increasing it by 200G; the gold bone will not carry over to act as a revival in other missions like a 1-Up Mushroom would.

Professor Elvin Gadd, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

Gold Bones are rare items found in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Luigi's Mansion (3DS port), and Luigi's Mansion 3. They are similar to a 1-Up Mushroom in the other games. If Luigi loses all his HP and has a gold bone, the Polterpup from the main story will completely restore all of Luigi's HP at the cost of the gold bone. Different from the 1-Up Mushroom, which acts as an extra life to the life counter, the gold bone will revive Luigi on the spot, allowing the player to continue the mission with the same progress as when Luigi fainted. Gold bones are only active for the mission attempt they are acquired on. If the player finishes the mission, keeping the gold bone, it will be "removed" and added to the total treasure stat for that attempt, increasing it by 200G; the gold bone will not carry over to act as a revival in other missions like a 1-Up Mushroom would.

A gold bone can be found in any unsearched, empty, and unimportant object when the player has obtained 200G or more. They are found especially in empty drawers, barrels, or other furniture. Only one gold bone can be found per mission attempt.

Double Gold Bone Glitch

Luigi collects two gold bones instead of just one

Usually, only one gold bone can be found per mission attempt, however, in Treacherous Mansion's first mission, Front-Door Key, there is a glitch which allows two gold bones to be obtained at once. They will behave as two gold bones as well - Luigi will be able to be revived twice, or he can finish the mission with both and receive 200G for each bone (400G). To perform the glitch, the player must inspect the left suit of armor on the ground just before the last fire pit ignites. After the cutscene, the gold bone count on the lower left will increase to two (2).
