Shyster



A Shyster is a mechanical Shy Guy that hops on a sword-tipped pogo-stick. They appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and work for the Smithy Gang. Shysters formed the bulk of Mackâ€™s forces during his invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom.

A Shyster attacks by jumping on top of his opponent with his sword-tipped pogo-stick. Additionally, Shysters have limited proficiency in magic. As such, they can use weak fire attacks.

During Mario and Mallowâ€™s battle with Mack, the knife monster summoned four Shyster Bodyguards. These Shysters are slightly stronger than the normal variety. However, they still can be easily defeated with lighting magic. Several stronger varieties of Shysters exist, including the Springer and the Shyper.

Shysters love nothing more than hopping around all day long.
