The Shy Bandit

The Shy Bandit is a mini-boss that appears in Paper Mario: Color Splash. He is a gray Shy Guy with red sunglasses on the eye part of his mask who apparently was banished from his homeland. When he appears, he will throw a marker on the area he intends to suck up all the color from and begin running toward that spot. Usually, he is a sizable distance from that area. Mario must then race toward the marker. If Mario picks up the marker before the Shy Bandit gets there, he disappears and Mario gets 300 coins. If Mario doesn't get there in time, he will bump into the Shy Bandit instead, initiating a battle; at this point, the Shy Bandit will attack first by blinding Mario with paint or summoning enemies, such as Hammer Bros and Buzzy Beetles to attack. If Mario defeats the Shy Bandit, he recieves 300 coins.
