Gold Mario: Difference between revisions

In this form, the character becomes a glowing statue made of pure gold. In Luigi's case, he becomes a glowing statue made of pure silver. In both cases, the form resembles Mario's [[Metal Mario (form)|metal form]] since gold and silver are a type of metal. Silver Luigi is based on the brothers' [[Ice Mario|ice form]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. If Mario/Luigi reaches the [[Goal Pole|Flagpole]] in this form, he'll receive a coin bonus. The higher the pole is grabbed, the more coins he'll receive. Gold Mario/Silver Luigi will revert into [[Fire Mario|Fire Mario/Luigi]] upon clearing a stage, making it impossible to keep this power-up between levels. Gold Mario is able to defeat almost every enemy in the game, including [[Boo]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, and even [[Spiked Ball]]s (though not giant ones), rivaling the power of [[Hammer Mario]]. He can also defeat bosses, but they take more than one hit to be defeated (with the exception of Bowser). However, the power-up has no effect against the [[Boohemoth]].
