Elite Boom Guy

Elite Boom Guys (Japanese: エリートヘイホーほう Elite Heiho Cannon) are Shy Guys that are found only in Gritzy Caves in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Elite Boom Guys are basically stronger versions of Boom Guys that Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi encountered earlier in Bowser's Castle in the past (now known as Baby Bowser's Castle). Additionally, they wear blue outfits and attack much faster. When one of the Elite Boom Guys attempts to attack, the Elite Boom Guy first walks near to one of the Mario Bros.. Then, he attempts to attack the picked one of the Mario Bros.; the Elite Boom Guy will either duck while holding his hands on his head or duck while the Elite Boom Guy extends his arm toward one of the Mario Brothers.

If the Elite Boom Guy attempts to duck while holding his hands on his head, the Elite Boom Guy launches out a Bullet Bill quickly from the Bill Blaster and attempts to hit one of the Mario Brothers. If the Elite Boom Guy attempts to duck while extending his arm toward to one of the Mario Bros., the Elite Boom Guy launches out a Bullet Bill that moves slowly. The Mario Bros. can simply jump on the Bullet Bills or jump over it but it does not damage the Elite Boom Guy. The Mario Bros. can get rid of the Bill Blaster but there is also a chance the Elite Boom Guy attempts to call two Blue Fly Guys that fly by and drop another Bill Blaster to Elite Boom Guy's head. Elite Boom Guys are usually accompanied by Snifaros in battle.
