Gold Space Pirate

A Golden Pirate is a Space Pirate with a gold color. They are very strong and can only be killed by using the Charge Beam when they are facing away from you or by using the Screw Attack to finish them off quickly. They are spawned when a certain amount of X virus make contact in the rooms before Ridley X in Metroid Fusion. In Super Metroid they only can be killed with the Screw Attack or a charged shot.
