Variant of	Koopeleon

TheGold Koopeleon is an enemy that appears inMario & Luigi: Partners in Time, where it is found in theThwomp Caverns. They are a shining golden variant of the regularKoopeleon. Like their base counterparts, Gold Koopeleons have the ability to turn nearly invisible, but will flee fromMario,Luigi and theirbabycounterparts in the overworld.

Battle[edit]

Gold Koopeleons have lowHP, but maximumDEF, and tend toflee from battle rather than fight. When they do not opt to flee, they use the same attacks as regular Koopeleons: they can blend into their surroundings and attempt to ram into one of the brothers, who can counter byjumping. Gold Koopeleons can also run up to Mario, Luigi, or their baby selves and attack them with their tongue, and may do so multiple times; this attack must also be dodged by jumping, and maytrip the brother it hits. Gold Koopeleons give plenty ofcoins andEXP points if the Mario Bros. and their baby selves can defeat them in time.

Because they have 999 DEF, they take minimal damage (1 HP of damage in international versions). This does not apply to the initial jump that is used to enter the battle against them.
