Golden Power-Up Band Amiibo

Golden Power-Up Band is the metallic-finish wristband variant, released February 17, 2024, one year after the original Mario-character Power-Up Band wave. It's not character-themed; it's an alt-finish, in the lineage of Gold Edition Mario or Gold Edition Mega Man, where the gold-paint completionist appeal is the entire pitch.

It pairs with the Invincible Band as the special-variant duo. Lower priority for casual Mario collectors, mandatory for Power-Up Band completionists. The theme-park-first distribution pattern gives it some scarcity that the standard wave doesn't have.
