'''Golden Eggs''' are rare objects that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Golden Eggs are not found on the field, as they can only be found in battle by throwing a [[Taunt Ball]] at a [[Bandit]] in the occasional instances they appear in the background; this causes the Bandit to drop the Golden Egg it is carrying and run away. The Golden Egg bounces in an erratic pattern as it heads toward [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], who must [[hammer]] the egg when it bounces right before them to knock it into the enemy's side of the battlefield. Failure to do so will result in the Golden Egg bouncing into the foreground and out of the battle.

When on the battlefield, Golden Eggs do not attack; as such, they are easy to defeat, but they also have very high defense (the second highest, behind only [[Gold Beanie]]s). If the egg is not defeated within a few turns, a Bandit will appear and take the egg out of the battle.

Golden Eggs reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. Here, they sometimes appear instead of the rocks that [[Monty Mole]]s throw and, when countered, give the bros. some coins.

Golden Eggs would have reappeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', but were cut from the game.
