Appears in	Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023)
Variant of	Gamboo

Metal Gamboos^[1] are conductiveGamboo variants introduced inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder, appearing exclusively inCastle Bowser's four regular levels. Much like regular Gamboos, there are two color variants of Metal Gamboo with distinct behaviors:Silver Metal Gamboos,^[1], which turn around on ledges like like Purple Gamboos; andGold Metal Gamboos,^[1] which walk off of ledges like Green Gamboos.

Metal Gamboos are immune toFire Mario's fireballs, and can be charged by touching electrical hazards in the levelHigh-Voltage Gauntlet. In this charged state, the player cannot touch them without taking damage, even if the enemy is in its stomped state. The only way to directly interact with them safely in this manner is by attacking them as eitherDrill Mario orElephant Mario. Metal Gamboos will lose their electrical charge after a period of time.
