Sombrero Guy

Sombrero Guys are a type of Shy Guy that appears in the game Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. They wear Sombreros on their head and hold mexican instruments.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Sombrero Guys are the more common member of the Mariachi Guys, found in the various levels of World 2. Unlike Shy Guys, Sombrero Guys have more health and are also slightly larger than Shy Guys. If the player is battling with a Sombrero Guy as well as another enemy, the Sombrero Guy will play its guitar and temporarily double each foes' attack stat for 2 to 5 turns or if the Sombrero Guy has low HP, it may restore 10 HP to itself and its allies. If a Sombrero Guy is battled alone, it will usually run away if not defeated instantly. Occasionally, it might throw its Sombrero at Mario. They sometimes drop a Sombrero sticker upon defeat. They are found in every level in World 2 except Damp Oasis.

Unlike other enemies in the overworld, a Sombrero Guy will simply stay in place and play their guitar. If the player goes into battle with an enemy in the vicinity, the Sombrero Guy will jump into the battle as well. However if Mario runs out of HP in battle and the player does the same area again, Sombrero Guys in that area will not jump into the battle making the enemies much easier to battle.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
Sombrero Guys return in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam as enemies. They only have 4 options for their turn. Either they attack by their copies throwing sombreros at the Trio or just the Bros., giving all their allies the POW-Up status, and fleeing with no experience given.
