'''Shy Guys''' (Japanese: ヘイホー, ''Heihō'') are timid troublemakers and common enemies in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' and ''[[Yoshi (series)|Yoshi]]'' series. They are famous for the masks they wear. They made their first appearance in''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', a non-''Mario'' game; they were later carried over to the ''Mario'' universe when ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' was created. Shy Guys usually work for [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopa Troop]], but they originally worked for the evil king [[Wart]]. | '''Shy Guys''' (Japanese: ヘイホー, ''Heihō'') are timid troublemakers and common enemies in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' and ''[[Yoshi (series)|Yoshi]]'' series.

In this game, Shy Guys, along with the other [[8 bits]], help [[Wart]] conquer [[Subcon]]. They attack [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Toad]] by walking in their general direction. They can be easily disposed by being picked up and thrown against another enemy or into a nearby [[abyss]]. They can also be defeated by having an object thrown at them. | ||
Red Shy Guys walk off ledges while pink ones don't, striking a resemblance to Green and Red [[Koopa Troopa]]s respectively, although the primary difference is that Red Shy Guys are known to turn in the direction of the player after landing. Red ones are also known to ride [[Autobomb]]s and [[Ostro]]s and often appear out of [[Vase]]s. Pink ones became blue in the remakes of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. The ''Super Mario Advance'' remake introduces [[Giant Shy Guy]]s. It takes time to pick them up because of their size. If the player picks up a Giant Shy Guy and throws it, hitting the ground or hitting another enemy with it, it will drop a heart. | Red Shy Guys walk off ledges while pink ones don't, striking a resemblance to Green and Red [[Koopa Troopa]]s respectively, although the primary difference is that Red Shy Guys are known to turn in the direction of the player after landing.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Shy Guys are once again common enemies, walking forward and backward. Woozy Guys from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' had disappeared, although more varieties rise up. Some Shy Guys carry [[Fruit]] or hide in trees. To defeat the Shy Guys that are in trees, Yoshi must [[Ground Pound]] near the tree they are hiding in, causing them to fall out. Additionally, if Yoshi Ground Pounds near a Shy Guy, its color will change, although the reason for this change is unknown.<ref>''Yoshi's Story'' Instruction Booklet, page 21.</ref> If Yoshi ground pounds near a Shy Guy while under the effects of a [[Heart Fruit]], the Shy Guy will turn into a lucky fruit. | In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Shy Guys are once again common enemies, walking forward and backward.

If Yoshis eat a Shy Guy with the same color, they will be awarded with three petals on their [[Smile Meter]] instead of one. Additionally, when a [[Baby Yoshi]] eats a Shy Guy, the [[Yoshi Egg]] that is produced will be the same color as the Shy Guy. This game also introduces the first "good" Shy Guy, the [[White Shy Guy]]. Shy Guys have voices in this game and can be distinctly heard saying "Hei-Ho" (their Japanese name) and other sounds. | If Yoshis eat a Shy Guy with the same color, they will be awarded with three petals on their [[Smile Meter]] instead of one.

Shy Guys appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' with their ''Super Paper Mario'' appearance, although their feet are more within their robes. They only appear in World 3 and World 4. In battle, a Shy Guy's only attack is running up to Mario and flailing its arms at him. Sometimes, the Shy Guy might trip before reaching Mario, cancelling the attacks. Also, if Mario uses a Tail [[Sticker]], the Shy Guy will push Mario and try to steal the sticker. A Shy Guy can also knock away one of Mario's attacks if he uses the [[Battle Spinner]] that causes the Shy Guy to take up its turn. Along with standard Shy Guys, a new sub-species known as [[Mariachi Guy]]s appear. There are also Shy Guys holding paper clips, known as [[Clip Guy|Clip Guys]], and [[Paint Guy]]s, who hold a bucket of paint. Both of these enemies can assist a Shy Guy in battle. Additionally, [[Spear Guy]]s and [[Snifit]]s also appear in the game. Additionally, two Shy Guys are found harrassing the [[Travelling Toad]] in World 4-6. They are very powerful, similar to [[Anti Guy]]s, each having 120 HP and an attack power of 7. When defeated, they drop a [[Secret Door]] sticker. | |||

Shy Guys | Shy Guys appear in the [[Rainbow Road (3DS)|Rainbow Road]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as obstacles like in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'''s [[Mario Circuit]] stage. This time, the karts they drive take their appearance from ''Mario Kart 7''. | ||
Shy Guys | Multiple types of Shy Guys also appear in the Nintendo 3DS version as enemies in the [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]] mode. There are four colors that appear, each with their own attributes: the standard red, which have higher attack; green, which run faster; light-blue, which have higher defense, and yellow, which jump higher. Each type attacks by charging at the player, hitting them multiple times. The stat boosts they leave behind are also mostly based on their color and attributes. | ||

A course themed after them, known as [[Shy Guy Falls]], appears as the final course in the [[Flower Cup]]. Here, Shy Guys of various colors can be seen mining on various parts of the track. They also have a business known as '''Shy Guy Metals''', which has been ongoing "since 1987" (a nod to their original appearance in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''), as seen on an [[Gallery:Sponsors in the Mario Kart series|advertisement]] that can be found in [[Toad Harbor]]. They also appear in [[Sherbet Land (GCN)|<small>GCN</small> Sherbet Land]] as obstacles in the same manner as on the original track. Shy Guys are also visible watching both on the sidelines and in stands on various tracks. | |||

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' Shy Guys appear in the game but regular red ones aren't enemies to battle. A couple of Shy Guys can be found in [[Bowser Castle]]. In [[Bowser Path]], [[Dimble Woods]], and [[Peach's Castle]] Shy Guy sub-species can also be found. [[Fawful Guy]]s can be fought by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]].[[Leaf Guy]]s can be found in the [[Wiggler]] boss battle when Wiggler waters the saplings and in the air they can be inhaled by Bowser too. [[Dark Fawful Guy]]s are only found when Bowser battle enemies and like Leaf Guys the can be inhaled for Mario and Luigi to fight. They are also a special attack for Bowser called [[Shy Guy Squad]]. | ||

All Shy Guys (with the minor exception of some Shy Guys from ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'') wear robes that can be red, pink, blue, yellow, | All Shy Guys (with the minor exception of some Shy Guys from ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'') wear robes that can be red, pink, blue, light blue, yellow, orange, green, black, gray, or white. They are all fairly short and all wear masks with holes on them that represent eyes and a mouth. It is unknown what is behind these masks. However, in Shy Guy's trophy celebration movie in ''Mario Power Tennis'', Luigi sees a Shy Guy without his mask on and is shocked at the sight. Also, in ''Luigi's Mansion'', Luigi can use the [[Poltergust 3000]] to pull a mask off a Shy Guy Ghost. Shy Guy Ghosts do not have eyes on their masks, but their faces are pure blackness with two glowing yellow eyes where the mask's eyes would be. It is unknown whether this is what a Shy Guy's face looks like when it is alive, as they, like the game's other generic ghosts, were imitations created by [[Vincent Van Gore]]. | ||
It is also possible that the Shy Guys' so-called "masks" are not masks at all, but rather faces. In ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the sleeping Shy Guy's mask eye holes are closed, supporting this. Also, the [[Bandit]] sub-species of Shy Guy have been shown to have the ability to change the expressions on their masks as if they were their actual faces. The picture shown when Bandit wins in ''Super Mario World 2'' [[Mini-Battle]]s even suggests that he is able to stick out his tongue. Also, <i>Super Mario RPG</i>'s Shy Guys' eye holes comically spin when the Shy Guy is confused, much like people's eyes do in cartoon gags; the Shy Guys of ''Super Mario RPG'' are also able to blush on their masks. [[Spear Guy]]s and [[Dancing Spear Guy]]s are perfectly capable of moving their mouth holes when chanting and singing, as ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' shows, while [[Boo Guys]] are shown regularly changing their expressions and blinking. Most recently, in ''Mario Strikers Charged'', Shy Guys have been shown to yet again be perfectly able to change the expressions on their masks. | It is also possible that the Shy Guys' so-called "masks" are not masks at all, but rather faces.
