TheCoin Fish[1][2] is acharacter inSuper Mario Sunshine. It is a fish with a body that is made out of 31yellow coins and eightred coins.Mario must propel himself through thewater withFLUDD to collect the eight red coins from the body of the fish in the episode "The Red Coin Fish" inNoki Bay. This is the only level in Noki Bay in which the Coin Fish makes an appearance. Even though its body is composed of coins (which are inanimate objects), the fish still appears to be alive. Usually, the Coin Fish just swims around in the water, but occasionally, it completely separates into the multiple individual coins that comprise it, which then float around randomly in the water. It then re-forms into a fish shape after a few seconds. When Mario successfully collects all eight red coins from the body of the fish without running out of air, aShine Sprite appears at the bottom of the bay.
