its goldie appreciation week !!!
friendly salmon run tip: in levels with fog, a goldie will have the chance of dropping 1, 5, or even 10 golden eggs!! for this reason, it's very important to lead the goldie close to your egg basket before you splat them. They're a weak boss, so they don't pose much of a threat anyhow, and by doing this you remove the threat of snatchers stealing the eggs. Travel time is one of the top reasons for failed runs, so any way you can reduce that time will save you a lot of stress! This tip applies to all bosses except for Stingers and Flyfish (and sometimes Drizzlers).
fun tips aside the goldie is just such a cool skrunkly little fellow, one of these days I'm gonna base a dragon design off of 'em.
and!! as always credit where it is do, I once again referenced the artbook page on goldies for this piece.
