'''Gold Bowser Statues''',<ref name=Mania/> also known as '''Miniature Bowsers''',<ref>Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide. Page 147.</ref> also make an appearance. Unlike the Gray Bowser Statues, Gold Bowser Statues cannot be stood upon. They jump periodically and damage Mario and Luigi when touched but do not shoot fire. They can be lured into the lava or be defeated by [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]'s Body Press, which reveals a [[glitch]]y sprite. Cape Mario's Body Press can also defeat the gray statue's fireballs, which shows a glitched sprite too. | ||

Pages 169 and 229.</ref> appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They can be found on walls breathing large fireballs that fly horizontally to the left. They appear in [[World 6-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-5]] and {{world-link|star|7|World Star-7 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}} as well as in the giant Bowser and [[Dry Bowser]] battles. The ones in the third part of both battles breathe purple fireballs which fly straight at Mario, similar to [[Ludwig von Koopa]]'s blue magic blasts during his first battle in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' but less pursuant. | ||
