Garbage Can Ghosts are large, green ghosts from the Luigi's Mansion series, making their debut in the titular game. Garbage Can Ghosts carry a banana with them, which they eat before throwing the discarded Banana Peel onto the ground.
Mario Power Tennis is the first game in which Garbage Can Ghosts appear alongside Donkey Kong. Here, Garbage Can Ghosts are one of the ghosts featured in the Luigi's Mansion Court, where they serve as a court hazard by dropping banana peels on to the ground. Garbage Can Ghosts are among the ghosts featured in the Terror Tennis minigame, as one of the ghosts that characters must prevent from escaping from their painting. Like the other ghosts, the Garbage Can Ghost's painting is based on that of the Portait Ghosts from Luigi's Mansion. In particular, the Garbage Can Ghost's painting bears the closest resemblance to Chauncey's silver portrait from Luigi's Mansion, having nearly the same red background.
In Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, Garbage Can Ghost makes a cameo as artwork in the Yoshi Park 2. In it, the leaves atop its head are replaced with a hood-like point.
