The Golem is an enemy in the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong. As its name and countenance disclose, it is a well-structured moving anthropomorphic statue. Only one Golem is ever encountered, specifically in Stage 9-1 of the Tower. The Golem behaves identically to Aqua Man, Miira, and Penpen in that it patrols its platform in a set direction and at a constant slow pace, turning around after bumping into a solid wall or meeting one of the platform's margins. Mario can lose a life if he runs into the foe's front or back side, but is capable of standing upright on the Golem after jumping on it. It is further possible for him to pick it up and toss it anywhere. The Golem is the only interactive enemy of Stage 9-1, and with no weapons around, it cannot be knocked out. The Golem resides on a Conveyor Belt located underneath a stone-block ceiling, together forming a tight tunnel. However, the enemy remains unaffected by the Conveyor Belt's works, and proceeds in walking on it as if it was a generic immovable platform.
