'''Gold Waddle Dee''' is a variation of the common enemy [[Waddle Dee]], first appearing in the game ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'' and later making minor appearances in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection]]''. As its name might suggest, Gold Waddle Dee is gold-col{{o}}red, but otherwise looks identical to a regular Waddle Dee. In games it appears in, it usually serves as a rare and often times elusive enemy that yields a special reward upon its defeat.

The enemy type makes its first appearance in ''Squeak Squad'', where it is encountered sporadically and plays a crucial role in achieving 100% completion. Unlike most enemies, it flees once [[Kirby]] comes near it and must be caught in order to defeat it, whereupon Kirby will be awarded with a [[Treasure Chest]]. It is usually found in complicated areas of the level, arranged in a manner that makes it difficult for Kirby to keep up with or destroy it. If he is not quick or ingenious enough, Gold Waddle Dee will fall into a hole, meaning that the stage must be restarted to gain the chest.

In ''Kirby Mass Attack'', the enemy is even more rare, with only a single one to be found in the entire game. The Gold Waddle Dee appears in a section of the 6th stage of [[Dedede Resort]] and acts similarly to its ''Squeak Squad'' incarnation, running from the [[Kirby (species)|Kirbys]] once they approach it. Tackling and defeating it causes the "Gold Thrasher" task on the [[Checklist (Mass Attack)|Checklist]] to be fulfilled once the stage is completed.

In the ''[[New Challenge Stages]]'' Sub-Game, Gold Waddle Dees can occasionally appear in the combat chamber stages. Here, they will appear briefly along with other enemies, then try to leave the area. Kirby has to defeat them quickly in order to earn a very hearty 1000 points.
