Should we merge this with Shy Guy?

Shouldn't we include MK8 details on them here? The recent DLC with them in it? Problem is I don't know links very well here :( Pinkolol16 (talk) 17:42, 2 September 2014 (EDT)

Thoughts?
So, it turns out the Black Shy Guy in Paper Mario: Color Splash shares its Japanese name with Anti Guys instead of the name used for Black Shy Guys in Yoshi's Story or Mario Kart 8 (ブラックヘイホー instead of くろヘイホー). Considering that, the fact that this name (to my knowledge) was only used in Paper Mario games, and both enemies similarly being unusually strong black Shy Guys, it seems likely to me that the Black Shy Guy in Color Splash was just a renamed Anti Guy.

 * If we ended up merging the sections, would the article be renamed to since we use the most recent English name? Also, I'm not sure if they should be merged, as they have the same shoe color and mask color as a normal Black Shy Guy (along with the English name). -- 20:15, 19 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Following Big Boo (Paper Mario series), that would be the case if they were merged together. 21:10, 19 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Imo, the shoe/mask color is a minor issue considering the games came out almost 20 years apart. Niiue (talk) 21:36, 19 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Do you know if they have the same name as Anti Guys in any other language? I just don't know if there are enough differences at the moment to merge. -- 21:44, 19 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Not sure, actually. I'd guess not, though, because the other foreign names are based on the English localization. Niiue (talk) 15:07, 20 May 2017 (EDT)
