A Gold Big Boo leaving a trail of coins.

New Super Mario Bros. 2

 
Some Gold Boos

Gold Boos first appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2 when Mario or Luigi touch a Gold Ring. They begin to flee upon turning gold, leaving a trail of coins behind for the player to pick up. Just like all the other golden enemies, they give five coins to the player upon defeat. Big Boos also have the same effect and turn into Gold Big Boos.

A Gold Boo appears in Paper Mario: Sticker Star in the Mansion Safe in The Enigmansion, where it acts identically to a regular Boo, and is even named as such, but drops twelve coins after the battle.
