==History==
===''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''===
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', two Money Bags appear in [[Snowman's Land]]. At first, they take the form of a regular, usually noticeably misplaced, [[coin]], but when [[Mario]] gets near one, it transforms into a purse-shaped creature that hops around. After four hops, it flattens up and then walks on the ground for a few seconds. Defeating one earns the player five coins.


Coin Coffers also reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' in two levels, still called Moneybags. Here, in order to defeat one, the player must hit it with six [[Fireballs]], [[stomp]] it six times, or using a [[Mega Mushroom]] or a [[Koopa Shell]]. For the first two ways, it gives one coin for each hit, and a [[1-Up Mushroom]] upon the last, at which it would be defeated. They usually appear in areas with several [[pit]]s, making it harder to chase the creature by these means. The minigame Coincentration also appears in this game, with more 3D-rendered graphics.
In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Moneybags return, having received a slight redesign, and one also appears in the minigames [[Coincentration]] and [[Intense Coincentration]], where [[Wario]] punches one upward, causing several coins to fall.


A creature similar to a Coin Coffer, a [[Starbag]], appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Instead of Coins and 1-Up Mushrooms, it yields 20 [[Star Bit]]s.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Moneybags are found only in [[World 5-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]] and [[World 6-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-3]]. Like in ''Super Mario 64'', a Moneybags appears as an out-of-place coin at first, before showing its true appearance when Mario approaches. In order to defeat one, the player must hit it with six [[fireball]]s, [[stomp]] it three times, or use either a [[Mega Mushroom]] or a [[Koopa Shell]]. For the first two methods, it gives one coin for each hit, and a [[1-Up Mushroom]] upon the last, at which point it is defeated. Moneybags usually appear in areas with several [[pit]]s, making it harder to chase the creatures by these means. Additionally, a Moneybags returns in Coincentration, more graphically enhanced than before.
They later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', now known as '''Coin Coffers'''. In this game, they have smaller eyes on top of their head, are round, have a lighter green color, and slightly looks like a frog's head. Coin Coffers contain ten coins. Hitting a Coin Coffer in any way causes it to drop a coin, and after five hit, it spits out the rest of the coins it contains before it is defeated. Ground Pounding one causes it to spit out all of its coins before being defeated. When hit by Mario under the effects of a [[Star]], its ten coins are dropped in a ring shape.

Moneybags[1] (originally spelled Money Bags[2] and also known in singular as Moneybag[3]) are enemies that appear in the Super Mario series. They are living money purses that have their zippers undone, with two glowing yellow eyes inside, and have stubby yellow-orange feet. Subsequent games in the Super Mario franchise replace Moneybags with Coin Coffers, beginning with Super Mario 3D Land.

History

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS

In Super Mario 64, two Money Bags appear in Snowman's Land. At first, they take the form of a regular, usually noticeably misplaced, coin, but when Mario gets near one, it transforms into a purse-shaped creature that hops around. After four hops, it flattens up and then walks on the ground for a few seconds. Defeating one earns the player five coins.

In Super Mario 64 DS, Moneybags return, having received a slight redesign, and one also appears in the minigames Coincentration and Intense Coincentration, where Wario punches one upward, causing several coins to fall.

New Super Mario Bros.

In New Super Mario Bros., Moneybags are found only in World 5-2 and World 6-3. Like in Super Mario 64, a Moneybags appears as an out-of-place coin at first, before showing its true appearance when Mario approaches. In order to defeat one, the player must hit it with six fireballs, stomp it three times, or use either a Mega Mushroom or a Koopa Shell. For the first two methods, it gives one coin for each hit, and a 1-Up Mushroom upon the last, at which point it is defeated. Moneybags usually appear in areas with several pits, making it harder to chase the creatures by these means. Additionally, a Moneybags returns in Coincentration, more graphically enhanced than before.
