The '''Golden Goliath''' is a large, golden statue of an anthropomorphized tiger found in [[Mayahem Temple]] in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. He remains dormant and buried in the ground with only his head visible until [[Mumbo Jumbo]] casts the [[Summon]] spell on him, rising him up and giving control of his body to the player for seventy five seconds. During this time, the Golden Goliath can wade through quicksand to collect treasures and has a kicking attack which is powerful enough to blow open large stone doors, bust boulders, and completely demolish [[Sput Sput]]s (who respawn when the Goliath is returned to his plinth). The Golden Goliath is only required to open the stone doors and get a certain [[Jiggy]], although he can destroy objects that could otherwise only be destroyed with the [[Bill Drill]] and [[Grenade Egg]]s. He also has a rather limited jump, which isn't of much use, but is impervious to damage. Most enemies will run around in fear when the Golden Goliath moves around.

The '''Golden Goliath''' is a large, golden, tiger-like statue found in the [[Mayahem Temple]]. While initially dormant, he can be awakened with [[Summon|magic]] when "his services are required".


After seventy-five seconds of being active, the Golden Goliath will power down and return to his resting place. The player can stand on the podium and press {{button|N64|B}} to switch back to Mumbo Jumbo.
==History==
===''Banjo-Tooie''===
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the Golden Goliath can be found in the Mayahem Temple, near the [[Mayan Kickball Tournament]]. It is initially dormant, buried into the ground with the only body part visible being his head. However, he can be awakened with [[Mumbo Jumbo]]'s Summon [[spell]], granting control over the statue for seventy-five seconds. While being controlled, the Golden Goliath can perform a powerful kick that is capable of destroying [[Sput Sput]]s and large boulders and open or break a hole in stone doors with the shaman's face in them, making them accessible for [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. He can also do a short jump that is mostly used to simply get through small stair steps near the world's entrance and exit. Many enemies, such as the [[Moggie]]s, will run away from the Golden Goliath when he gets near them. When the time limit is up, he will lose his energy and go back to where he was first found. Mumbo can still use the [[Mumbo Pad]] next to the statue to summon him again, however.


==''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''==
Inside the world's [[Mumbo's Skull]], a [[Signpost]] hinting at the Golden Goliath's functionality can be found.
