Variant of Lakitu

Gold Lakitus[1] are enemies introduced in New Super Mario Bros. 2. Lakitus transform into them while the Gold Ring is in effect. Gold Lakitu fly around in golden clouds. They throw three coins at once instead of Spinies, a behavior similar to the Lakitus spawned from square clouds in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. A Gold Lakitu is worth 20 coins when defeated, more than most gold enemies. If defeated, a Gold Lakitu's cloud becomes usable temporarily, generating coins while moving in a manner similar to Gold Blocks.

A Gold Lakitu appears in the Gold Rush Mode of the Poochy Dash minigame in Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. It leaves a trail of golden Beads behind while following to the right at a steady pace.
