Shy Guy: Difference between revisions

}}

Red Shy Guys walk off ledges while pink ones don't, striking a resemblance to Green and Red [[Koopa Troopa]]s respectively, although the primary difference is that Red Shy Guys are known to turn in the direction of the player after landing. Red ones are also known to ride [[Autobomb]]s and [[Ostro]]s and often appear out of [[Vase]]s. Pink ones became blue in the remakes of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. The ''Super Mario Advance'' remake introduces [[Giant Shy Guy]]s. It takes time to pick them up because of their size. If the player picks up a Giant Shy Guy and throws it, hitting the ground or hitting another enemy with it, it will drop a heart.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Shy Guys are once again common enemies, walking forward and backward. Woozy Guys from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' had disappeared, although more varieties rise up. Some Shy Guys carry [[Fruit]] or hide in trees. To defeat the Shy Guys that are in trees, Yoshi must [[Ground Pound]] near the tree they are hiding in, causing them to fall out. Additionally, if Yoshi Ground Pounds near a Shy Guy, its color will change, although the reason for this change is unknown.<ref>''Yoshi's Story'' Instruction Booklet, page 21.</ref> If Yoshi ground pounds near a Shy Guy while under the effects of a [[Heart Fruit]], the Shy Guy will turn into a lucky fruit.

Shy Guys appear as enemies in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', where they simply walk around, like in the past games. [[Mega Shy Guy]]s appear, turning into [[Mega Eggdozer]]s if swallowed by a Yoshi. A new species, [[Metal Shy Guy]], appears and turn into a [[Metal Eggdozer]] instead if a Yoshi swallows it.

====''Yoshi's Woolly World''====

Shy Guys, as well as several variations of them, are semi-common enemies in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. After Mario returns from [[Forever Forest]], he finds [[Toad Town]] overrun by Shy Guys. He can hit the enemies with his [[Hammer]] to make them run out of town. Once Mario discovers [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]], the secret hide-out of the Shy Guys, they can be fought as normal enemies. They have two main attacks: They can simply tackle Mario for 2 damage, or they can do an acrobatic attack, dealing 3 points of damage and bowing to an unseen but not unheard crowd.

They can also be found on [[Lavalava Island]] when [[Spear Guy]]s shed their armor.

A stronger variation of Shy Guys called [[Shy Guy R]]s appear later on in the game.

It is also possible that the Shy Guys' so-called "masks" are not masks at all, but rather faces. In ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the sleeping Shy Guy's mask eye holes are closed, supporting this. Also, the [[Bandit]] sub-species of Shy Guy have been shown to have the ability to change the expressions on their masks as if they were their actual faces. The picture shown when Bandit wins in ''Super Mario World 2'' [[Mini-Battle]]s even suggests that he is able to stick out his tongue. Also, <i>Super Mario RPG</i>'s Shy Guys' eye holes comically spin when the Shy Guy is confused, much like people's eyes do in cartoon gags; the Shy Guys of ''Super Mario RPG'' are also able to blush on their masks. [[Spear Guy]]s and [[Dancing Spear Guy]]s are perfectly capable of moving their mouth holes when chanting and singing, as ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' shows, while [[Boo Guys]] are shown regularly changing their expressions and blinking. Most recently, in ''Mario Strikers Charged'', Shy Guys have been shown to yet again be perfectly able to change the expressions on their masks.
