Shy Guy Blocks are objects that appear in Super Skywheel in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, being introduced in Area 8-1. They also reappear briefly in Rainbow Summit, specifically in Area S-15. They are red, slightly transparent blocks with a Shy Guy's face on them and dotted borders. Minis can pass through Shy Guy Blocks while they are not filled in; however, if a Shy Guy walks or falls into a Shy Guy Block, the Shy Guy will be absorbed into the Shy Guy Block, permanently turning it into a harmless and immobile block that acts identically to ground. This allows the Shy Guy to be used as a platform or wall by the Minis, as well as a staircase if the Shy Guy Block is placed into certain corners.
