Gold Shy Guy

Gold Shy Guys are a variant of Shy Guy in Paper Mario: Color Splash. Gold Shy Guys, like Silver Shy Guys, are invincible to all attacks except for Iron Jumps, Hurlhammers, Spin Jumps, and Things. Iron Jumps and Hurlhammers will cause their gold layer to fall off, revealing that they are really red Shy Guys. They act like normal Shy Guys once their gold covering comes off. Gold Shy Guys appear in Fort Cobalt and in Wendy O. Koopa's battle in Fortune Island. A Gold Shy Guy is the second-round opponent in Roshambo Temple #8.

When Gold Shy Guys are defeated, they drop more Coins and Hammer Scraps than most enemies.

In Mario Kart Tour, a Shy Guy with a golden coating similar to a Gold Shy Guy was introduced as a playable character in the 1st Anniversary Tour. Its special item is the Giga Bob-omb.
