Zeus Guy

Zeus Guys are relatives of Bandits that appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, as well as Yoshi's New Island. Their name comes from, the Greek god of lightning.

Zeus Guys are usually found in groups of two, and fire balls of energy at Yoshi. If Yoshi gets too close, within the maximum range of their balls of energy, they will kick or punch him. Yoshi cannot swallow them, and jumping on them or throwing an egg at them stuns them temporarily. Yoshi can only defeat Zeus Guys with a blue watermelon, Anywhere POW, or by spitting fire.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

 * Shogakukan guide: 空手のポーズでパチパチと弾を撃ってくる. ふめばしばらく気絶するが、ファイアを使わないと倒せない. (It shoots crackling projectiles at you in a karate pose. If you step on it, it will be stunned for a while, but you can't defeat it unless you use fire.)
 * Player's Guide: Put up yer flame balls! This pugilist sends great balls of fire scorching Yoshi's way. Barbecue, anyone?

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

 * Shogakukan guide: タマゴを当てると後ろに転がり、後続の敵をやっつけることができる. タマゴがないときは舌でつっついて追いやったり、ころがりくんを当てて倒そう. (It is in a karate pose and shoots crackling projectiles. If you step on it, it will faint, but you can't defeat it without fire.)

Yoshi's New Island

 * Shogakukan guide: キックやパンチ、さらに、離れた位置から気功弾を水平に飛ばして攻擊してくる. 1回踏んで気絶させ、そのあとヒップドロップをして擊破しよう. (They attack with kicks, punches, and even by sending projectiles horizontally from a distance. Step on it once to stun it, and then Hip Drop it to destroy it.)
