Tap-Tap the Golden

Tap-Tap the Golden is a giant golden Tap-Tap, found in Door Three of Baby Bowser's castle in the game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The screen slowly moves through a lava-filled cave as he jumps around Yoshi. He can be hit into the bottomless pits, but he will just come back. Knocking him off the screen is the best option, and several Fangs are around to apply eggs for repetition of this strategy.

Different golden Tap-Taps, called Super Big Tap-Taps, appear in Yoshi's Island DS. They are much larger than Tap-Tap the Golden and attack Yoshi in a manner similar to Chomp Sharks.

He may be Tap-Tap the Red Nose resurrected, as the Nintendo Power Guide stated his introduction as "Tap-Tap the Golden is back", though they may have meant Tap-Tap the Red Nose since Tap-Tap the Golden had never appeared before or maybe the Golden Color came from being fried in the lava.
