Anti Guy

Anti Guys are gray Shy Guys that appear in Paper Mario. They are also known as Deadly Guy, due to the fact that their attacks are extremely powerful. An Anti Guy is first encountered in Shy Guy's Toy Box; it is guarding the Power Plus Badge. Others are later seen at Bowser's Fortress. The second Bowser Gate quizzes Mario. If Mario gets three questions wrong, he must face the Anti Guy Unit, which consists of three Anti Guys.

Rumor has it that Lemon Candy is their favorite treat. Mario can bribe the Anti Guy in Shy Guy's Toy box with a Lemon Candy so he doesn't have to fight him, although it's highly recommended to fight him since he gives a lot of Star Points after defeated.

Black Shy Guys from Yoshi's Story look very similar to Anti Guys and are often confused for them.

They are the strongest enemies in the game, excluding bosses.
