Tap-Tap the Golden[1][2], as its name implies, is a large golden invulnerable Tap-Tap found in the third door of King Bowser's Castle in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The screen slowly moves through a lava-filled cave as Tap-Tap the Golden chases after Yoshi. It can be knocked into the bottomless pits, but it will only respawn seconds later. Knocking it onto the edge of a platform will make it teeter as it tries to maintain its balance, but knocking it off of the screen is the best option, and several Fangs are around to supply Yoshi with eggs for repetition of this strategy. It is worth noting that Tap-Tap the Golden will actually jump over Yoshi if he gets too close, instead of attempting actual harm. While normally invulnerable, Tap-Tap the Golden can be defeated through hacking it into a certain type of lava.[citation needed]
Different golden Tap-Taps, called Super Big Tap-Taps, appear in Yoshi's Island DS. They are much larger than Tap-Tap the Golden and attack Yoshi in a manner similar to Chomp Sharks.
Tap-Tap the Golden reappears in Yoshi's New Island in Bowser's Castle Break-In. This time, Yoshi must throw eggs at it not merely to defend himself, but to get to keys located behind it. Instead of the large, open area full of platforms, it is found in a hall not much taller than it.
