Shy Guy Tower

Shy Guy Towers (known as Shy Stacks in Paper Mario) are the third part of the Shy Guy Army in Paper Mario. They consist of four Shy Guys standing on top of each other. The Spin Smash Badge or Kooper can be used to knock them off. They use slingshots to attack, like regular Shy Guys in Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars.

They also appear in Yoshi's Island DS, along with a Pirate Guy variant. If a Yoshi licks one of the Shy Guys in the stack, they will fall down and become regular Shy Guys.

Shy Guy Towers return under their new name in Yoshi's Woolly World. Unlike their previous appearances, the tower can't be toppled by removing a Shy Guy from the formation (However this isn't the case when Yoshi is transformed into Moto Yoshi). Often, the Shy Guy at the top of the tower holds a Bead or a Bomb.

Shy Guy Towers later reappear in Mario Sports Superstars in the "Road to Superstar" mode as enemies, though only two Shy Guys stand on top of each other. They can be defeated by the sports balls that the amiibo cards yield.
