| “ | Fighting off treasure hunters is hard work, and these two dream of setting off on an adventure. Rumor has it they've built a raft... so why not leave? 'Because we'll sink! Can't you see we're made of metal?!'” |

Games[]
Kirby Star Allies[]
Goldon & Silvox appear as the boss of Mareen Moon, with the boss title of The Metal Heavies; similarly to how Yggy Woods is a harder version of Whispy Woods, Goldon & Silvox are a harder version of Pon & Con. Unlike their counterparts, Goldon & Silvox have their rush attack right away and can use both elemental bombs throughout the entire fight. After getting furious, their roar knocks Kirby (and co.) into the air and splits them up, similarly to Whispy Woods/Yggy Woods/Parallel Woods. More platforms and a giant tower appear in the middle, making the arena five rows tall instead of three. Goldon and Silvox can either quickly charge through the tower, and they can enter it and change rows while inside, each leaving an elemental bomb where they originally were; Goldon leaves a Sizzle Bomb and Silvox leaves a Blizzard Bomb. Each entrance to the tower has a wooden gate that prevents players from moving from one side to the other; these can be destroyed with enough attacks, or can be instantly destroyed using the Sizzle element. Upon their defeat, the two bounce throughout their room before bashing their heads on each other and exploding.
Goldon & Silvox also appear in The Ultimate Choice. They appear in the Fiery Showdown, Infernal Crisis, Soul Melter, and Soul Melter EX difficulties, replacing Pon & Con.
