White Shy Guy

"-White Shy Guy?- The White Shy Guy follows you around. Does he want to be your friend?"

White Shy Guys are white-colored Shy Guys found in Yoshi's Story. They are friends of the Yoshis', and they could be considered the antithesis of the Black Shy Guy, as the White Shy Guys work against their Shy Guy brethren, while the Black Shy Guys are the elite in Baby Bowser's Shy Guy forces.

If a Baby Yoshi finds a White Shy Guy, the White Shy Guy will follow behind the Yoshi like a Yoshi's egg, copying the Yoshi's movements until the stage is completed. Indeed, the White Shy Guy will take the place of one of the Yoshi's eggs, meaning that the Yoshi can carry only five eggs instead of the normal number of six. After the stage is completed, the White Shy Guy can be selected on the Yoshi-selection screen. There can potentially be multiple White Shy Guys on the selection screen if the player collects them throughout the game without using them. If selected, the White Shy Guy will equip the helicopter backpack of the large Flying Shy Guys and travel to Baby Bowser's castle in order to rescue any Yoshi that has been captured by the Toadies. White Shy Guys are usually hidden inside ? Bubbles or ? Blocks in the levels they appear in. The bubbles or blocks that contain them can spawn in the respective levels only if the player has lost any Yoshi that is not the black or white one.
