Snowboarding Shy Guys[1] (also known as Shy Guy Snowboarders)[2] are a type of Shy Guy appearing on DK Summit in Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart Tour, and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass. They snowboard across the half-pipe area of the course while performing tricks. If a racer runs into one of them, the racer spins out and slows down. They can be taken out by attacking them with an offensive item or by touching them while invincible.
In Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Snowboarding Shy Guys can also be seen on the course Mount Wario, where they appear in the background of the slalom and mogul portions in the final section. In addition, a stamp of a Snowboarding Shy Guy can be obtained in the former game by winning a Time Trial race against the staff ghost for Mount Wario.
Snowboarding Shy Guys also return in the DK Pass course in Mario Kart World. Unlike their previous appearances, Snowboarding Shy Guys now wear skiing gear. The skiing gear worn by Snowboarding Shy Guys on this track also appears as an outfit for normal Shy Guy, though recolored, under the name Slope Styler.
