The Floating Whirlindas, the Dancing Couple (Japanese: ダルッテンふさい Darutten Man and Wife) are two of the Portrait Ghosts who escaped imprisonment in Luigi's Mansion.
According to the Game Boy Horror, the Floating Whirlindas used to be the local waltz champions, but unfortunately they aren't allowed to compete anymore because their feet can't touch the ground. The Whirlinda couple were found in the Ball Room on the first floor's east wing of the mansion. They appeared after Luigi defeats the six Shy Guy Ghosts in the room, making the dancing floor spin as they waltzed. Luigi had to face away from them and wait until the gentleman exclaimed "Ahhh!" Both would then do a dance pose, making them vulnerable. Additionally, Luigi had to stand on the spinning tiles too, or the couple won't even appear when Luigi wasn't pointing at them. After some medium tugs, Luigi earned the key to the Storage Room.
