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)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] replace Moneybags with [[Coin Coffer]]s, beginning with ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.
'''Moneybags''' are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Two appear only in [[Snowman's Land]]. They are money purses with their zipper undone along with eyes and feet. At first, they take the form of a regular [[coin]], but when [[Mario]] gets near one, it transforms into a purse-shaped creature that hops around. After four hops it somehow flattens up, and they walk on the ground for a few seconds. Defeating them will earn the player five coins a piece. They are also featured in the ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' remake and in [[Coincentration]], a [[minigame]] in the same game.
==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.


Moneybags also reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' in two levels. 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 Moneybag, 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.
===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
 
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.
Another similar creature similar to a Moneybag appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. It is called a [[Coin Coffer]].
