Fly Guy

Fly Guy is a sub-species of Shy Guy. They have propellers on their heads and have various jobs.

The first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and have been a hit ever since. In the game they carried Items like Red Coins, 1-ups, or even bombs. In some levels one of them would swoop down carrying a ? cloud full of stars, and if Yoshi didn't get them in time the Fly Guy would float back up and laugh mockingly.

In Super Mario 64, Fly Guys appear in Shifting Sand Land. They fly around the course, spitting fireballs at Mario, trying to force the plumber into the lethal quicksand. They also appear in Tiny-Huge Island. This time, the Fly Guys spit fire at Mario near ledges, trying to kick him off the ledge.

Fly Guys also are Shy Guys with propeller complexes on their backs, or some other way of flying. They appear in Yoshi's Story and Paper Mario (as Sky Guys and Medi Guys). Machanical Fly Guys have wind-up keys in the back. They are known as Mecha Fly Guys, and appear in the Mario Party series.

In Mario Power Tennis, Fly Guy is a character known for his technique.
