The Gold Shield is a power-up exclusive to Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island, and a variant of the standard Shield. In addition to serving as a one-shot barrier against damage and life loss, the Gold Shield allows Sonic to perform what the instruction manual called the "Sonic Blast Attack": a primitive version of the Homing Attack. Double-tapping 
or 
would cause Sonic to jump and home in on a badnik (over a very limited range). The shield couldn't be used to execute a Jump Dash, however; if there were no enemies in range, a double-jump would just bring Sonic crashing back to the floor.
Other variants of the basic shield include the Lightning Shield, Fire Shield, and Water Shield.
