GOLD

GOLD is one of the nine families of BONK!; 24 pieces pay under it.

Every piece pays under one of nine families: electric, explosive, fire, gold, normals, projectile, wave, echo or fair (the fair-rule prizes).

Hammers (2)

GOLDEN SPOTLIGHTStrike 3 times in one column and it lights up while you stay. While lit, every strike turns the moles in that column GOLDEN and fires an extra BONK up the column.
CLOCKWORK HEADEvery 3rd BONK puts a GOLDEN clock mark on the nearest mole ahead. A golden-marked mole pops GOLDEN, and it TICKS: the nearest marked mole is BONKed too.

Moles (3)

GOLDMarks the chain GOLDEN: everything scored after it is worth 4x and pays extra XP. A long Golden chain ends with applause (Audience).
KINGWears a Crown that grows with every mole popped while it is on screen. BONK the King to cash the Crown in.
PINATABONK it and it breaks: candy rains as 3 GOLDEN normal moles in the 3 rows ahead.

Prizes (2)

WILD COLUMNPick a column: one of your specials spawns there every 3rd row and every BONK there pays double.
