Train Bandit
Train Bandit
First appearance Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (1995)
Latest appearance Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 (2002)
Variant of Shy Guy

A Train Bandit[1] is one of the enemies in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. They are chalk drawings of Shy-Guys found on walls in certain levels.

Train Bandits first appear in Watch Out For Lakitu and reappear in Raphael The Raven's Castle. They chase after a Yoshi only while he is a Train, but even then, they can move only up to the borders of the wall. The player can only defeat a Train Bandit using either a Winged Cloud Maker or Anywhere POW. In the remake, Train Bandits are also in Go! Go! Morphing!, where a POW Block can defeat them.
