'''Gold Bars''' (or '''gold bars''') are items seen in a few games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

==History==
===''Luigi's Mansion'' series===
[[File:GoldBar.png|thumb|left]]
Gold Bars first appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. They account for 100,000G each and are often found in [[treasure chest|Treasure Chest]]s.

Gold Bars return in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' and ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', once again being a collectible treasure item. However, they are worth only 20G instead of 100,000G. They are also much more common and can appear after [[Luigi]] vacuums a [[ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]] or flashes a gold [[spider (Luigi's Mansion series)|spider]], gold [[mouse]], gold [[bat (Luigi's Mansion series)|bat]], gold [[beetle (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)|beetle]], or [[Robomb|Gold Robomb]] with the [[Strobulb]].

Gold Bars are also used for storing money in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. [[Mario]] cannot use them in combat in any way, and he can only sell them for [[coin]]s. In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Gold Bars are sold at [[Deepdown Depot]], where they can be sold back for 100 coins. In the [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], they can be sold for 101 coins at [[Toad Bros. Bazaar]], 105 coins at [[Westside Goods]], also 105 coins at [[Niff T.'s shop]], 110 coins at [[Northwinds Mart]], 112 coins at [[Pungent's Great Tree Shop]], or 130 coins at the [[Sales Stall]].

In ''Super Paper Mario'', Mario can give a [[Golden Leaf]] to [[Saffron]] to turn it into a Gold Bar and a Gold Bar into a [[Golden Meal]], a useless item worth 50 coins (as opposed to the Gold Bar, which is worth up to 120 coins) players can make if they ever find themselves having too much money.
