Coin Coffer

Coin Coffers are enemies that debut in the game Super Mario 3D Land, they are green money-bag like creatures that resemble both purses and frogs that have eyes at the top of their head. Their name is a pun on "coffer," which is a name for a container used for storing money or valuables, and "cougher," referring to how coins come from their mouths. They also have a similar behaviour to the Moneybag enemy.
==Appearances==
===Super Mario series===
====Super Mario 3D Land====
Coin Coffers make their first appearance in the Nintendo 3DS game, Super Mario 3D Land where they are first encountered in World 2-3, though one can be found hidden in a rock in World 2-1. Upon discovery, the Coin Coffer will attempt to flee. They contain ten coins. Hitting a Coin Coffer in any way causes it to drop a coin, dazing it, and after five hits, it spits out the rest of the coins it contains before it is defeated, any attack can be used to defeat a Coin Coffer. Ground Pounding one causes it to spit out all of its coins before being defeated. Coin Coffers can either be hiding in rocks or bushes or they can be out in the open.
====New Super Mario Bros. 2====
Coin Coffers also appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2 with similar behaviour to their action in Super Mario 3D Land however this time, they are far more rare than they were before. They sometimes appear after activating a Red Coin Ring too, dropping eight Red Coins as it bounces. If Mario defeats it before it can release all the Red Coins, they will all be dropped making for an easy pickup. They only appear in World Star-1 and World Star-7, as well as several DLC courses.
====Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury====
Coin Coffers also appear in Super Mario 3D World as well as Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. They act the same as how they do in Super Mario 3D Land. However, they are now invisible and hide in certain hidden areas of levels. They can be made slightly visible by touching them on the GamePad, and jumping on them or attacking them will fully reveal them, they drop coins each time they're attacked however ground pounding them or running into them while under the effects of a Starman, Invincibility Leaf, or Invincibility Bell will destroy them instantly releasing all the Coins, Cat Coin Coffers are also seen in the Bowser's Fury side of the remake, they are also more common in these games than in previous games.
===Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition===
Coin Coffers make a return in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition as fightable enemies that can also be made into allies. They come in five colors which are green, red, blue, yellow, and purple, the colors indicate their primary abilities which are fire for red, water for blue, wood for green, light for yellow, and dark for purple.
Unlike most enemies in the game, the Coin Coffer has a very high defense stat which makes them tougher and reduces any damage that it takes from a single attack to 1, but its HP is very low. Its attacks and strengths are also very weak, and due to its cowardly nature also have a chance to run away from battle. If you can defeat a Coin Coffer with a 10+ combo, it will join your team. Otherwise, it will only have a chance of joining you when defeated normally.
All Coin Coffers have a special Skill, Coin Boost, which multiples the Coins won during a battle. Also, they are unique in that level 1 is their maximum level meaning they cannot go any higher than the starting level. Coin Coffer allies can give their teammates a huge amount of experience points whenever they are used to power them up, which can be very useful for leveling up lower-leveled characters.
You can also transform the Coin Coffers into a a larger, more regal sub-type of Coin Coffers, called King Coin Coffers by giving them six Super Mushrooms. King Coin Coffers are stronger and upgraded variations of Coin Coffers.
====Super Mario Odyssey====
Coin Coffers return in Super Mario Odyssey where they can be found in the Sand Kingdom and Wooded Kingdom. They retain their invisible ability from Super Mario 3D World. When they are visible to the player, Mario is able to capture one using Cappy. When a Coin Coffer is captured, they act like Coin Boxes when running around or while standing still. As a Coin Coffer, Mario can also choose to spit out Coins which act as projectiles which can be used to obtain collectables and kill enemies however this also depletes the coin amount so overusing the ability is unadvised. In any case to defeat a Coin Coffer, ground pounding it will kill it instantly releasing all the coins inside it.

==Trivia==
*Coin Coffers behave very similarly to both Moneybags and Starbags as they are all money bag-like enemies which hide themselves and flee upon discovery and release heaps of Coins (or Star Bits) when defeated, the Moneybag could've been the inspiration for the Coin Coffer.
*Coin Coffers were planned to appear in New Super Mario Bros. U but were cut out in the game's final build.
