Tap-Tap the Golden
Tap-Tap the Golden is a giant golden Tap-Tap, found in Door Three of Baby Bowser's castle in the game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The screen slowly moves through a lava-filled cave as Tap-Tap the Golden jumps around Yoshi. He can be hit into the bottomless pits, but he comes back. Knocking him off the screen is the best option, and several Fangs are around to apply eggs for repetition of this strategy.
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 may be Tap-Tap the Red Nose resurrected, as the Nintendo Power Guide stated his introduction as "Tap-Tap the Golden is back", though they may have meant Tap-Tap the Red Nose since Tap-Tap the Golden had never appeared before. This is enforced by the fact that Kamek raises him from the lava and the golden color might of been where the lava fried him.
