They are living money purses that have their zippers undone, with two glowing yellow eyes inside, and have stubby yellow-orange feet.

'''Moneybags''' are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Two appeared only in [[Snowman's Land]]. Moneybags 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 reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' in two levels. Here, in order to defeat the evasive Moneybag, it's needed to hit with six [[Fireballs]], [[stomp]]ing over it six times or using a [[Mega Mushroom]] or a [[Koopa Shell]]. For the first two ways, it would give 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]]'', Money Bags 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.

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 Moneybag 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.
Moneybags 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.

Moneybags (singular Moneybag[1] or Moneybags;[2] originally singularized as Money Bags[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[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

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, Money Bags 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.[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros., Moneybags are found only in World 5-2 and World 6-3. Like in Super Mario 64, a Moneybag 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.
