Coin Fish

"Master Mario! Our people have all come back at last! To show our thanks, we've prepared a fine treasure for you. It lies on the ocean's floor, so please go there and claim it."

- Noki Elder

The Red Coin Fish is a fish made out of coins (as the name implies.) Mario has to collect the fish's coins during the events of The Red Coin Fish. The Red Coin Fish only appears in one level of the world, Noki Bay. It has eight Red Coins in it. Usually, this fish will swim around the bay, and Mario can propel himself with F.L.U.D.D. to collect the coins. However, it will occasionally separate into individual coins, which will fly around the bay randomly. When Mario collects all 8 Red Coins without running out of air, a Shine Sprite will appear at the floor of the bay. Even though the fish is made out of coins (which are inanimate objects), it still seems to be alive.
