'''Gold Lakitus'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide, page 37.</ref> are golden variants of [[Lakitu]]s first seen in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. After [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] passes through a [[Gold Ring (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|Gold Ring]]s, the Lakitus in the level temporarily transform into Gold Lakitus. While in this state, rather than throw [[Spiny Egg]]s, the Lakitus will drop three [[coin]]s at a time instead, similar to the Lakitus that spawn from [[Square Cloud]]s in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Additionally, if Mario or Luigi defeats a Gold Lakitu, they will earn 20 coins. They can then ride on its [[Lakitu's Cloud|cloud]], which generates coins as they move (while still in its golden state), similar to a [[Gold Block]].

A Gold Lakitu also appears in ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' in Gold Rush Mode of the [[Poochy Dash]] minigame, where it leaves behind a trail of golden [[Bead]]s, which [[Poochy]] collects throughout the minigame, while moving towards the right at Poochy's speed.
