'''Gold''' is a transformation that appears in {{for3ds}} and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Fighters affected by this transformation are referred to as '''gold fighters'''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlXuE_ojA |title=Director's Room |accessdate=2019-07-14 |author=Masahiro Sakurai |date=2014-06-10 |publisher=Miiverse |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171017180903/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlXuE_ojA |archivedate=2017-10-17 |quote=If you collect 100 coins, you transform into a gold fighter! For a short period of time, your attack power will increase and you won't flinch when you receive attacks. This unique stage's name is Golden Plains and it's exclusive to the 3DS version. }}</ref> It originates from the {{uv|Mario}} universe.

Gold fighters deal 1.5x more [[knockback]] to opponents from [[direct]] attacks and [[throw]]s, but [[projectile]]s are unaffected. In ''Smash 3DS'' only, the fighter will not [[flinch]] or receive [[knockback]]. When granted by collecting 100 coins on Golden Plains, or by summoning [[Xerneas]], the effect is accompanied by a damage output multiplier, indicated by a red particle effect around the affected fighter.. The aesthetic effects of the transformation, such as the metallic appearance and muted voice clips, are similar to that of a [[Metal Box]].

The stage [[Golden Plains]] applies this status to fighters who collect 100 Coins. In ''Ultimate'' only, [[Xerneas]] turns the summoner gold. Additionally, in some [[Spirit Battle]]s, the opponent is gold.

The Metal Killer [[spirit]] skill deals increased damage to gold fighters, treating them just like metal fighters. Conversely, [[Metal Slash]] does not treat gold fighters as metal fighters, dealing 1% damage instead of an [[Instant KO]].

==Origin==
The effect originates from the {{s|mariowiki|Gold Flower}} power-up, introduced in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. 2}}'', which allows [[Mario]] to transform into {{s|mariowiki|Gold Mario}}. Gold Mario is a variant of the {{s|mariowiki|Fire Mario}} transformation that allows Mario to shoot golden fireballs which turn breakable blocks and enemies into coins.

==Trivia==
*In Spirit Battles, gold fighters will not have the red aura and rainbow flare around them, to indicate that their damage output is not buffed. However, if they use their Final Smash, they will temporarily lose their gold status, and upon regaining it, the red aura and flare will appear as well, although their damage output still isn't buffed.
*The "Transformation Duration" Spirit skill increases the duration of the gold status from Golden Plains, but not from Xerneas.
