Sky Guys are Shy Guys that float using balloons. They appear in only one game—Paper Mario, where they shoot at Mario with a slingshot. Sky Guys are always red. The balloons keeping them afloat can be attacked, grounding them and turning them into normal Shy Guys.
Outside of battle, Sky Guys attempt to swoop down at Mario to try to make the First Strike just like Paragloombas.

| Tattle | This is a Sky Guy. Sky Guys are master balloonists. Max HP: 7, Attack Power: 3, Defense Power: 0 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! | ||||||||
- Player's Guide: The Sky Guy is a slingshot-wielding baddie who has mastered the long lost art of ballooning. While in battle, you can attack either the Sky Guy itself or the balloon bunch that keeps it afloat—the choice is yours.[1]

Notes[edit]
- Though Sky Guys themselves have only appeared in Paper Mario thus far, Shy Guy's Special Shot in Mario Tennis Aces involves him grabbing some balloons, much like a Sky Guy. Similarly, in Mario Strikers: Battle League, if Shy Guy wins a match, his victory animation has him floating in mid-air with some balloons; again, much like a Sky Guy.
