Shy Guy: Difference between revisions

'''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 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''.

 

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.

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]].
