In both Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and Virtual Boy Wario Land, moneybags appear in the Coin Game when a correct option is chosen. They also appear in each game's ending, with Wario giving the genie an amount relative to the number of total coins collected in the former game, and Wario using a giant one to store the coins after collecting all the treasures in the latter game. In the former came, they have an image of a dollar sign ($) on them, while in the latter they have the word "coins" on them. Similar unmarked treasure bags appear in the cutscenes of Wario Land II, where they are stolen by a trio of Pirate Gooms.
In early builds of New Super Mario Bros. 2, a moneybag was used as the icon for the total coin counter. It is replaced in the final version by three coin piles.
