Gold Mario: Difference between revisions

Gold Mario debuted as a power-up form in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In this form, Mario turns into gold, but Luigi becomes silver. In both cases, the form resembles Mario's [[Metal Mario|Metal form]], since gold and silver are types of metal. If Mario or Luigi reaches the [[Goal Pole|Flagpole]] in this form, he receives a coin bonus. The higher the pole is grabbed, the more coins he will receive. However, he will revert to [[Fire Mario|Fire form]] upon clearing a stage, making it impossible to keep this form between levels. This form's fireballs are able to defeat almost every enemy in the game, including [[Boo]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, and even [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]]s (though not the [[Giant Spiked Ball|giant one]]s; [[Boohemoth]]s are also unaffected), rivaling the power of [[Hammer Mario]]'s hammers. He can also defeat most bosses with one fireball (though the [[Koopalings]] take three fireballs to be defeated).

Gold Mario and Silver Luigi can also gain coins by defeating consecutive enemies, either by stomping on them without touching the ground, hitting multiple enemies with a shell, or staying [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. The values gained consecutively are 5, 10, 15, 20, and finally 50 coins for the fifth enemy onwards. When the area is under the influence of a [[Gold Ring]], these values double to 10, 20, 30, 40, and 100 coins. The same values apply if a single blast from a fireball defeats multiple enemies at once.
