Coin Bandit



Unlike the normal Bandits, Coin Bandits are colored in a very pastel-esque pink and run away from Yoshi on sight. Their name comes from the Red Coin that they sport above their heads. If Yoshi gets the coin from them, their behavior then reverts to that of normal Bandits.

There is a glitch that if Yoshi grabs the coin without touching the Coin Bandit, it will act as if it was still holding the coin.

Trivia

 * Oddly, the Bandits found in the Paper Mario series have the same coloration as Coin Bandits (although they are a more normal, vibrant red and lack the purple gloves found on a Coin Bandit).
