Because gold was so valuable throughout history (and since its heaviness and softness made it little good for much else for much of that history), it has been primarily used for decoration. Whether it's for jewelry, gold lamé, gold plating, or even making something entirely out of gold, it's a good way to make something pretty. Of course this is Truth in Television, but fiction will take it further, freely ignoring those pesky physical limitations of gold as a material (i.e. heavy and soft) — armor and weapons made of gold will be no heavier or softer than steel or iron (and frequently much more effective in combat); lamé will move as if it was silk. This can be Artistic License just as often as carelessness. Of course buying something like this is a good way to show Conspicuous Consumption. Having loads of things like this is common for a Fiction 500 character. Heck, even if gold is Worthless Yellow Rocks, that still means the writers could have gold put everywhere. A Super-Trope to Made O' Gold, Gold-Colored Superiority (makes things better as well as just being better), Gold Tooth of Wealth, and Villainous Gold Tooth. A Sister Trope to Platinum Makes Everything Shinier. Compare Gold (useful notes), Gem-Encrusted, Pretty in Mink, Fluffy Fashion Feathers, City of Gold, Bling-Bling-BANG!, Bling of War, Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry, Everything's Better with Sparkles. |

Uncle Scrooge goes on an adventure to obtain the legendary Golden Fleece for a coat made of solid gold. Scrooge succeeds in his quest and gets his coat, but retrieves his old coat when he discovers that a coat made of solid metal has no insulating value and is thus intolerably cold to wear. | |

A subversion from the "World's Strongest Robot" arc in Astro Boy. An impressed Uran assumes Gesicht is made of gold, but he tells her he's actually made from an even rarer energy resistant alloy, this being what puts him in the running for world's strongest robot. | |

In some Might and Magic games, golden chain and plate armor is the most powerful kind, though it is occasionally unclear if it is golden or merely looks that way (Justified because powerful armor and weapons in the game tend to be enchanted and created by long-lost magic and artifice), and some items are explicitly made of something else while still being shiny and gold-coloured. | |

In Final Fantasy XIV, you can dye your gear with metallic gold paint to give the appearance of everything you wear looking like shiny gold. For a more wealth-flaunting option, you can purchase a special mount from the Luxury Trader at the low price of 50,000,000 gil. These mounts are basically sparkly, golden versions of existing mounts that spew money. | |

Mario Kart: Mario Kart: Double Dash!! has the Parade Kart, a fancy gold car which is used to carry the winners in the award ceremony at the end of each Grand Prix, and is also the last playable kart to be unlocked and the one with the best overall stats. Mario Kart 7 and 8 both have Gold vehicle parts, which are usually the last parts unlocked. They resemble the Standard Kart, Wheels, and Glider, but have different stats, generally being less maneuverable with higher top speed and weight. There's also Pink Gold Peach in 8, the Distaff Counterpart to Metal Mario. She's like Peach, but made of pink gold. The Deluxe version also adds Gold Mario, which is just a gold version of Metal Mario. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Iron Man's armor in his first two movies and The Avengers (2012) shines brightly due to being made of a titanium-gold alloy. It is to be noted, however, that the shininess decreases later on.

Inverted in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where gold pressed latinum is just to give something to hold the Unobtainium, not actually make it prettier, as replicators made it Worthless Yellow Rocks. One episode mentions that gold does have some value, if only because there are civilizations out there that don't have replicators. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time had the Gold Gauntlets, which were the strongest levels of items that let Link lift and throw enormous stone obelisks, which are impossible to move otherwise. Meta Example: The two original NES games came on shiny gold cartridges; the first game's box even had a cutout showing it off. A limited edition run on both Ocarina and Majora's Mask also came on a matte-gold cart.note The Ocarina cartridge was merely a bronze-tan plastic painted with gold fleck, the Majora's Mask one was cast in swirly golden plastic - the type that Transformers fans have grown to fear because of a condition called Gold Plastic Syndrome. Quite a few other games have gold colored items including discs, game cases and certain accessories (such as a limited edition gold wiimote for Skyward Sword or a limited edition gold New 3DS for the launch of Majora's Mask 3D). In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the series staple Master Sword can be upgraded twice. Its second form is a powerful red blade. Its final form is more powerful than any other weapon and sports an appropriate gold sheen to boot. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the armor and weapons wielded by the Gerudo people tend to have gold linings. In most games, there will be gold rupees which will always be worth the most (usually at 300 rupees). Naturally, they are shiny and in some games, have a radiant glow. |

In Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Dorothy Catalonia seem to have a thing for gold-plated vehicles: a limousine, a space shuttle and a truck. From Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, we have Quattro Bagina's golden Hyakku-Shiki. It's (supposedly) an anti-beam coating that granted a measure of protection against long-range weapons. From Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, we have the Akatsuki Gundam, whose gold-plated armor is actually gold paint mixed with numerous mirrors, allowing it to shrug off and even deflect beam weaponry. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray introduces Rudolf Wittgentsien's GOUF Ignited, which has actual gold applied to its armor via a special nano-treatment. In this case it actually is nothing but a very expensive status symbol. In Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Alejandro Corner's Alvatore and Alvaaron are both gold-plated, simply because he's a rich guy who likes showing off. He even modified his GN Tau Drives to emit golden particles rather than the usual dark red. |

Super Mario Bros.: New Super Mario Bros. 2: Taken to extremes, in which a large part of the game revolves around amassing a ludicrous number of golden coins. Golden versions of regular enemies such as Goombas, Koopas and Piranha Plants abound, and the new Golden Fire Flower power-up turns Mario himself to gold, enabling him to chuck golden fireballs that turn enemies and blocks into coins. Mario Kart: Mario Kart: Double Dash!! has the Parade Kart, a fancy gold car which is used to carry the winners in the award ceremony at the end of each Grand Prix, and is also the last playable kart to be unlocked and the one with the best overall stats. Mario Kart 7 and 8 both have Gold vehicle parts, which are usually the last parts unlocked. They resemble the Standard Kart, Wheels, and Glider, but have different stats, generally being less maneuverable with higher top speed and weight. There's also Pink Gold Peach in 8, the Distaff Counterpart to Metal Mario. She's like Peach, but made of pink gold. The Deluxe version also adds Gold Mario, which is just a gold version of Metal Mario. Mario Party 10: In amiibo Party, if a single amiibo manages to collect every other gold token, they can unlock a token that gives their figure a shiny gold skin on the board. If a Gold Mario amiibo is used, this token will be unlocked from the get-go. Mario Party: Star Rush: Gold Bullet Bills appear in World 3 of Toad Scramble, and are shinier than their non-gold counterparts. They are fired out of cannons dictated by a roulette at the start of each turn, and chase any players in their path to designated safe zones while leaving behind coins for the players to collect. |

There are gilded sets of armour in Runescape. This is not as extreme an example as sets of armour made out of solid gold, though — decorating armour with gold was not common practice, but there is historical precedent for it. The golden mining suit is a practical version, as the completed set gives you a 6% experience bonus while wearing it. However, the gold nymph who gives it to you says she just wants to make everyone else as beautiful and golden as herself. |

They purposely transmute the most bizarrely hideous trinkets, because a horrendous cow-shaped jug is rubbish, but a golden cow-shaped jug is a curio and therefore tremendously valuable to the eccentrically wealthy. | |

Golden armor shows up as items in some Final Fantasy games. Final Fantasy III has golden swords, but like you'd expect (or perhaps not, given how nearly all other RPGs treat gold) these are useless as weapons. They sell for a neat price though. They're found in Goldor's mansion, which happens to be made entirely of gold. | |

The Malazan Book of the Fallen deconstructs this with the Emperor of the Tiste Edur. Every inch of his skin is studded with gold coins which were burned into his flesh, leaving what little skin remains visible horribly scarred. Additionally, the mass of gold is so heavy it has turned what used to be a Long-Haired Pretty Boy into a hulking monster. All that while the Tiste Edur don't even care about gold and only use it in burial rituals to mock their wealth-worshipping neighbouring nation. | |

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS: This concept is invoked in the Golden Plains stage (based on world 1 of New Super Mario Bros. 2). Fighters can collect coins on this stage, and acquiring 100 will turn them to gold and strengthen the knockback of their physical attacks. Come Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, this stage and its gold gimmick returns, and, additionally, when summoned from a Pokéball, Xerneas will turn its summoner gold with its Geomancy move and bestow the same power boost. | |

Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 really, really love gold, as seen in countless official art and studio paint jobs for their miniatures. The God-Emperor of Mankind for example has Terminator armour (considered the best armour type in the game for human characters) that is entirely golden. However, it is made of Aurumite, a super hard material that just looks like gold. The Custodian Guard wear armor of the same material. Furthermore the Emperor travels on warships that are decked in gold. Orks don't use gold as currency (they use their own teeth, which grow back and are readily available in the jaw of the closest ork), instead using it solely as Bling of War. The extremely destructive and obnoxiously wealthy orks known as Flash Gits (British for, well, smarmy rich asshole) use to make their BFGs even shinier. |

Subverted in Minecraft: Sure, you can make a sword out of that gold you just mined. It'll be roughly as effective as one made of wood and break about as quickly. On the other hand, using iron... Of course, a gold pickaxe can bore through stone at an incredible rate, but only stone. It still breaks easily too. Gold armor looks pretty and shiny, but the protection it gives is not much better than leather armor and it breaks just as fast. However, gold armor is still better than having no armor at all. Gold armor and gold swords have their weaknesses compensated by having a much higher chance of getting strong enhancements compared to other tools made out of other materials, making gold based items a Glass Cannon. Three words: gold-plated food. Golden Apples are one of the most coveted items in the game, being used to make horses breed, cure zombie villagers, or give the player not only several drumsticks' worth of hunger satisfaction, but also regeneration for a short time. A twice-plated ("enchanted") Golden Apple also grants fire resistance, damage resistance, and a limited feather-fall effect. Golden Carrots are also used to breed horses, or give the player regeneration, and are used in potions of night vision. Glistering Melons are pretty much only used in potion-brewing, and aren't edible. |

From Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, we have the Akatsuki Gundam, whose gold-plated armor is actually gold paint mixed with numerous mirrors, allowing it to shrug off and even deflect beam weaponry. Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Astray introduces Rudolf Wittgentsien's GOUF Ignited, which has actual gold applied to its armor via a special nano-treatment. In this case it actually is nothing but a very expensive status symbol. |

In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the series staple Master Sword can be upgraded twice. Its second form is a powerful red blade. Its final form is more powerful than any other weapon and sports an appropriate gold sheen to boot. | |

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Pokémon Gimmighoul, visually based on a Chest Monster, wanders to amass golden coins to deposit into its treasure chest. If you acquire 1,000 of these coins, then your Gimmighoul will evolve into Gholdengo, which is comprised of stacked coins, and launches them at its opponents in battle. | |

One of the major story missions in Need for Speed Payback centers around the heist of a pair of gold-plated luxury cars (a Lamborghini Aventador and a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen). Opinions on the cars' golden exteriors differ (Mac loves the "blinged out" look and wants to gold-plate his semi-truck afterwards, while the team's mechanic Rav sees them as tacky eyesores), but in any case, their real value comes from the cutting edge autonomous driving hardware systems set up within them. | |

One animated version of The Nutcracker had the line "I wear gold-plated underwear!" in the Rat King's Villain Song. Two seven-year-olds immediately caught that they would chafe horribly. | |
