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]]''.
==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]]'', 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.
'''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. Defeating them will earn the player five coins a piece. They are also featured the ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' remake and in [[Coincentration]], a [[mini-game]] in the same game.


===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
Moneybags also made reappearances 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 mini-game Coincentration also appears in this game, with more 3D-rendered graphics.
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.
 
A creature similar to a Moneybag, a [[Starbag]], appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Instead of Coins and 1-Up Mushrooms, it yields 20 [[Star Bit]]s instead.
 
Moneybags are scheduled to appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. 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.
