'''Gold Flowers''' are [[List of power-ups|power-up]]s which debuted in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They first appear in [[World 2-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2-1]]. When collected, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] become [[Gold Mario|Gold Mario or Silver Luigi]] and are able to shoot golden or silver [[fireball]]s that explode and do splash damage when they hit blocks, enemies, or walls. If [[List of enemies|enemies]] are hit by the projectiles, they will yield an amount of [[coin]]s. These fireballs are capable of taking out stronger enemies that are normally immune to regular fireballs. However, the [[Boohemoth]] cannot be defeated with the Gold Flower, due to its colossal size. Even Bowser can be taken out with a single gold or silver fireball, as evidenced with the [[Gold Classics Pack]]. Jumping on stompable enemies also gives coins. Mario or Luigi can also transform several [[Brick Block]]s at once into coins with a fireball shot. Blocks with items will be activated instead. If Gold Mario or Silver Luigi beat a level, they return to [[Fire Mario|Fire form]] respectively. If they take damage, they will revert to [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]].

The Mario Bros. can also receive a free Gold Flower from [[Toad]] if they were to find and enter a [[Toad House|Yellow Toad House]] (except in [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]], where he gives a [[Super Star]] instead). It is also possible to win a Gold Flower for collecting the eight [[Red Coin]]s from [[Red Ring]]s found in [[Rainbow Course]]s and [[Warp Cannon]]s. The Gold Flower has higher priority than most other items, meaning that only the Super Star can replace this item in the player's inventory. Outside the inventory, only the [[Mega Mushroom]] and the [[Invincibility Leaf]] have higher priority than the Gold Flower, and if Mario or Luigi are under the effects of the Invincibility Leaf when they get hold of a Gold Flower, it is placed in the player's inventory. The Gold Flower is the only power-up (aside from the Super Leaf and the Mega Mushroom) that makes an unique noise when coming out of a Question Block and when being used to transform.

Gold Flowers return as usable item shot in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. They grant the player one coin for every yard that the ball travels, and are not effective in putts.
