The Gold Bird,[1] also called The Golden Bird,[2] The Golden Bird Returns,[3] and Golden Bird Grab,[4] is a mission in Delfino Plaza in Super Mario Sunshine.

This mission involves tracking down and spraying a Gold Bird, usually encountered on or near a small nearby island with a Warp Pipe and dried up campfire. The bird is still present while Delfino Plaza is flooded, somehow perched on the water's surface. As with a similar mission with a similar setup, known as A Golden Bird, spraying the Gold Bird with water from FLUDD or juice from Yoshi turns it into a Shine Sprite, which is then placed all the way on the other side of the plaza, on one of the platforms between the lighthouse and pipe leading to a secret area, near where the Shine Sprite spawning from the Shine Sprite in the Sand mission appears.
