Shy Guy (toy)

The Mini Shy Guys are living Shy Guy toys appearing in Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis and Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem.

They will just move from left to right; however, if a Mini Mario or Mario himself touches them, the character will be defeated. Mario can pick them up and throw them as weapons (ala Super Mario Bros. 2), and the Mini Marios can also ride them.

It is unknown if the Mario Toy Company created these toys, but most likely they did not (as they appear to be foes of Mario). They have windup corks behind them, though. It is also unknown if they are even to be thought of as different then normal Shy Guys, as manuals refer to them simply as "Shy Guys".
