Gold Fighter is a transformation from the Mario series that appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Exclusive on the Golden Plains stage, the character turns golden for a short time and increases the amount of knock back that character can do.
Additionally, Xerneas in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been changed to turn the summoner gold. Several spirit battles also pit the player against gold opponents, such as Necrozma with a gold Mewtwo as its puppet fighter. Images of each character's gold form can be found here.
Origin
This transformation is based on the effects of the Gold Flower, introduced in New Super Mario Bros. 2. With it, Mario can transform into Gold Mario, a variant of the Fire Mario transformation that allows Mario to shoot golden fireballs that turn breakable blocks and enemies into coins.
