Gold Mario sprite.

Gold Mario and Silver Luigi[1] are forms debuting in New Super Mario Bros. 2, acquired by grabbing a Gold Flower. In this form, Mario can shoot big Gold Fireballs and Luigi can shoot big silver fireballs, defeating any enemy or breaking any block that is within a certain distance or any that they touch, turning them into coins. In addition, the shockwave will also empty out several non-brick blocks/brick blocks that are secretly containers. 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 form as well as the brothers' ice form from Super Mario Galaxy. If Mario/Luigi reaches the 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/Luigi upon clearing a stage, making it impossible to keep this power-up between levels.
