Although they look like clams, Moneybags are actually money purses with their zipper undone along with eyes and feet. At first, they appear to resemble a regular [[coin]], but once [[Mario]] goes near one, it will transform into a coin 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.

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.

A creature similiar to a Moneybag (and probarbly 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.

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.
