Gold Mario debuted as a power-up form in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In this form, Mario turns into gold, but Luigi becomes silver. In both cases, the form resembles Mario's [[Metal Mario|Metal form]], since gold and silver are types of metal. If Mario or Luigi reaches the [[Goal Pole]] in this form, he receives a coin bonus. The higher the pole is grabbed, the more coins he will receive. However, he will revert to [[Fire Mario|Fire form]] upon clearing a stage, making it impossible to keep this form between levels. This form's fireballs are able to defeat almost every enemy in the game, including [[Boo]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, and even [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]]s (though not the [[Giant Spiked Ball|giant one]]s; [[Boohemoth]]s are also unaffected), rivaling the power of [[Hammer Mario]]'s hammers. The form can also defeat most bosses with one fireball (though the [[Koopalings]] take three fireballs to be defeated). | Gold Mario debuted as a power-up form in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

Gold Mario and Silver Luigi can also gain coins by defeating consecutive enemies, either by stomping on them without touching the ground, hitting multiple enemies with a shell, or staying [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. The values gained consecutively are 5, 10, 15, 20, and finally 50 coins for the fifth enemy onwards. When the area is under the influence of a [[Gold Ring]], these values double to 10, 20, 30, 40, and 100 coins.

Gold Mario, Peach and Bowser statues are available in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' as a My Nintendo or Remix 10 reward. The pose is identical to the regular statues but with a solid gold finish. Gold statues of Luigi, [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Toadette]] were added in version 3.0.4 of the game, and can only be obtained in Remix 10. | |||

Gold Mario returns as a [[Crazy Cap#Gold Mario Suit|costume]] for Mario in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It can be unlocked immediately using either the Gold or Silver Edition Mario amiibo figures, or if the player obtains more than 480 [[Power Moon]]s. Unlike previous games, Gold Mario has a different finish and reflection color to the gold coins in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Mario's voice clips do not change when wearing the costume. | Gold Mario returns as a [[Crazy Cap#Gold Mario Suit|costume]] for Mario in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.

Wearing the Gold Cap and Gold Outfit when confronting Bowser for the final boss battle scares him. This is a reference to the fact that, in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', this form's fireballs can defeat him in one hit. | |||

On the [[Golden Plains]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', if a character collects 100 of the coins scattered across the stage, they turn gold temporarily. While in this form, the character's attack power is increased, and the character does not flinch and cannot be launched. Despite this, the character can still be launched by being grabbed and thrown. While in the form, the character cannot collect additional coins until the form wears off.

When [[Pokémon#Xerneas|Xerneas]] is summoned by a [[Poké Ball]] or [[Master Ball]], it also turns the fighter who summoned it into their gold form. In addition, Gold Mario appears as a Legend-class support spirit, using artwork from ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''. When equipped, the fighter gains a permanent "Super Armor" which makes them harder to flinch or throw. This is a stronger variant of the "Slow Super Armor" trait that does not grant a slow mobility penalty, though it costs three slots to equip (compared to "Slow Super Armor"'s two slots), effectively filling all slots and can be applied only to spirits that have three open slots. The spirit can be summoned using a [[Metal Mario]], [[Super Mushroom]], and [[Fire Flower]] core. | ||

He is unlocked by winning all twelve gold cups in 200cc, though upon unlocking him, he replaces Metal Mario as the default choice on the roster. However, COM players never play as Gold Mario. Unlike previous appearances, Gold Mario lacks pupils in his eyes (similar to Metal Mario). His kart symbol is the same as Metal Mario's but with a golden "M". He is also the 200cc staff ghost for [[Mario Kart Stadium]]. Like Metal Mario, Gold Mario's voice has a filter.{{br}} | ||

Gold Mario reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as an exclusive playable character to the game's [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|Coin Rush]] mode. In Coin Rush, Gold Mario drives the [[Gold Standard]] as he races a single lap through a track (which changes depending on what tour the game is currently hosting), and draws in nearby [[coin]]s, which may also be [[Red Coin|red]] or [[Blue Coin|blue]]. At the end of the lap, all collected coins are multiplied by a selected amount then rewarded to the player. Gold Mario's special item in Coin Rush during the [[Valentine's Tour]] is the [[Coin Box]]. | |||

In the 3DS version, players can activate the Gold Mario costume for a limited time, whilst it can be unlocked permanently in the Wii U version if players complete the Mario amiibo league. The costume's stats are overall better than all the characters in the 3DS game with the exception of Super Sonic, whilst in the Wii U version, it has balanced stats. | |||
