===Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS===
Moneybags make their debut in Super Mario 64 and later appear in Super Mario 64 DS They appear in Snowman's Land, and are defeated by jumping on them or tackling them. They are disguised as a coin until Mario, Luigi, Wario, or Yoshi comes near, and then they reveal themselves and flee by hopping away. They release five coins when defeated. In Super Mario 64 DS, Yoshi can wrack up heaps of coins from a Moneybag by swallowing a Moneybag, making an egg, and tossing the Moneybag egg at some Spindrift lots, as the egg ricochets of each nearby enemy within the radius before hitting a wall you will get 5 coins for each Spindrift killed and each enemy the Moneybag egg hit wracking up over 10 coins for each enemy, this is really useful when going for the 100-Coin Star.
===New Super Mario Bros.===
Moneybags return in New Super Mario Bros., in this game, they appear in World 5-2 and World 6-3. In this game, they disguise themselves as a Coin until the plumbers approach at which point, they hop away from Mario/Luigi in the pit-filled areas they're found in, hoping that the plumbers will fall to their death. Mario/Luigi can jump on them or hit with fireballs five times and will spit out a coin each time they are hit. If defeated, they will release a 1-up Mushroom, additionally, a Moneybag can be instantly defeated with a ground pound to get the coin lot in one shot.
===Minigames===
Moneybags also appear in Coincentration and Intense Coincentration, two of the puzzle mini-games in Super Mario 64 DS. The former reappears in New Super Mario Bros.. During both the minigames, Wario punches a Moneybag in the air and as it bounces down into the pit below, several coins are also seen descending and land in the various brick blocks, Wario must select blocks that have coins in them and up to three coins may fall in one block, the game ends if Wario picks a block with no coins in it. The Moneybag drops 40 Coins in Coincentration and 16 Coins in Intense Coincentration. 
==Trivia==
*The Moneybag is very similar to both the Coin Coffer and the Starbag, and it could possibly have been the inspiration for both enemies.
