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 also made reappearances in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' in two levels. Here, it took a [[Mega Mushroom]], Koopa Shell, six [[Fireballs]], or six [[Jump|stomps]] to kill it. For the latter two, it would give one coin for the first five hits, and a [[1-Up Mushroom]] upon the sixth, at which it would be defeated. The mini-game Coincentration also appears in this game, with more 3D-rendered graphics. |
| ===''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 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 (and probably a close relative too), a [[Starbag]], appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Instead of Coins and 1-Up Mushrooms, it looses 20 [[Star Bit]]s instead. Also, it wouldn't disguise as a Star Bit, but walks in the ground, only footprints could be seen. It loos also more like a sack than a clamp-like purse. |
