Moneybags are enemies in Super Mario 64. One 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 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.

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, stomping 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 ussually appear in areas with several pits, making it harder to chase the creature by these means. The mini-game Coincentration also appears in this game, with more 3D-rendered graphics.

A creature similar to a Moneybag, a Starbag, appears in Super Mario Galaxy. Instead of Coins and 1-Up Mushrooms, it loses 20 Star Bits instead. Also, it wouldn't disguise as a Star Bit, but walks in the ground, only footprints could be seen. It looks also more like a sack than a clamp-like purse.
