===Groove Guy===
 
This is a Groove Guy. Groove Guys wear weird clothes. They're probably stage clothes. Pssh... You know performers... They shake their booties to call in reinforcements. They also spin around in front of you and make you feel dizzy. These rock 'n' rollers are a drag, so let's ditch 'em as fast as we can.
 
===Medi Guy===
 
This is a Medi Guy. Medi Guys are the emergency workers of the Shy Guy clan. They have the power to heal their wounded companions. Of course, they also attack. We'd better hurry up and take them out of the mix. It's a pain if they keep fixing all the damage we do.
 
===Pyro Guy===
 
This is a Pyro Guy. Pyro Guys are on fire, so any contact with them will cause damage. They're tough opponents, mainly because their attack power is so high. Any attacks that involve water or snow are our best bet because,...well...you know.
 
===Regular Shy Guy===
 
This is a Shy Guy. They're ne'er-do-wells. Big time rascals. No good... They occasionally do acrobatic attacks that have an attack power of 3. Who knows what lies in the hearts of these troublemakers? I guess they're dangerous, but they're pretty small time.
 
===Shy Squad===
 
This is the Shy Squad. It'll attack us with all its members at once. The number of times we're attacked will equal the number of Shy Guys in the Squad. Its attack power is huge when there are many guys, but it drops fast for each one that falls. Let's use an attack that does tons of damage so we can decrease their numbers and increase our chances!
 
===Shy Stack===
 
This is a Shy Stack. Whoa, this pile has an incredible sense of balance! Look at that stack! Its attack power equals the number of Guys in the stack. It will be 4 if there are four Shy Guys stacked up. If you have the Spin Hammer ability, you can knock 'em off one by one. Obviously, their attack power decreases when there are fewer of 'em in the stack.
 
===Sky Guy===
 
This is a Sky Guy. Sky Guys are master balloonists. We can attack the balloon, too. Once they fall, they're just like normal Shy Guys. I wish I had a balloon so I could float... That looks awesome!
 
===Spy Guy===
 
This is a Spy Guy. Spy Guys look like they're ready for war in their spiffy camouflage gear! They change their weapons each time they're attacked. You'd best try to avoid their hammer attack! Every time you're hit by it, you'll lose one of your commands!
 
===Stilt Guy===
 
This is Stilt Guy. Yes, as the name suggests, Stilt Guys are Shy Guys on Stilts. I mean, it seems pretty obvious to me... If you attack 'em by shaking the ground, they'll fall off their stilts and become normal Shy Guys.
