Gold Shells return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they are now the golden versions of the average Koopa shells. They are much more common here, as Gold Shells appear when Mario passes a [[Gold Ring]]. When a [[Gold Koopa]] is stomped, they retreat into their golden shell, and if kicked it produces a trail of [[coin]]s behind it.

Gold Shells also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''; once again, they are rare. They only appear in [[Koopa Troopa Cave]], [[Sunshine Seaside]], and [[Coin Express]]. They function similar to the [[Coin Box|? Box]] and Gold Shells in ''New Super Mario Bros 2'': the player gains coins for [[shell dash|shell-dashing]] with these shells or throwing them; they give 30 coins before breaking. There is also no character color code for the shells.

In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', Gold Shells act just like [[Black Shell]]s, but instead of being thrown normally like a [[Green Shell]], they home in on the driver in front of the player, like a [[Red Shell]], exploding upon impact. [[Triple Gold Shells]] can be unlocked and used as an item as well.

==Trivia==
*According to the Japanese Shogakukan guide for the game ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'', the [[Shell (flashing)|flashing shell]]s are considered "gold" shells that combine all ingredients of the [[Green Shell|Green]], [[Red Shell|Red]], [[Yellow Shell|Yellow]], and [[Blue Shell]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', resulting in awful taste but incredible benefits.<ref name=Sho>「任天堂公式ガイドブック ヨッシーのたまご」 (''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook – Yoshi's Egg''), [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 61.jpg|page 61]].</ref>
