Shy Guy: Difference between revisions

|latest_appearance=''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' ([[List of Mario games by date#2014|2014]])

Shy Guys make their first ''Mario'' game appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', although the Shy Guys' real first appearance is in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''. 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.  

Shy Guy appears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. Along with [[Kamek|Magikoopa]], Shy Guy competes against the player in Solo mode, and if one of them wins a board the player must try again. Shy Guy and Magikoopa are both unlocked by completing Solo mode once, after which they can be played in any game mode except Solo.

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 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 also appear in the Nintendo 3DS version as enemies in the [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]] mode.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Shy Guys appear as spectators and stage hazards on various tracks. In the city section of [[Moonview Highway]], the Shy Guy [[emblem]] can be seen on the guard rails. Also, Shy Guys appear on [[DK Summit]] as a snowboarder and track hazard doing tricks in the half pipe. If a player hits one of the different-colored Shy Guys, the player will spin out and slow down. The Shy Guy will not stop, however. GBA Shy Guy Beach returns as a retro course.

Both a playable Shy Guy and other non-playable Shy Guys appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Unlike ''Mario Kart 7'', the red playable Shy Guy is available from the start; additionally, by purchasing both the ''[[Animal Crossing X Mario Kart 8|Animal Crossing]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda X Mario Kart 8|The Legend of Zelda]]'' downloadable content, eight additional Shy Guy colors will be unlocked for use. 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]]'' Shy guys appear in the game but regular red ones aren't enemies to battle. A couple shy guys can be found in [[Bowser Castle]]. In [[Bowser Path]],[[Dimble Woods]] and [[Peach's Castle]] can be found. [[Fawful Guy]] can be fought by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]].[[Leaf Guy]] 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 Fawul Guy]] are only found when Bowser battle enemies and like leaf guys the can be inhaled for Mario and Luigi to fight.

*Shy Guys, along with [[Lava Bubble]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Chain Chomp]]s, [[Pokey]]s, [[Thwimp]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, [[Blooper]]s, [[Cheep Cheep]]s,  and [[Piranha Plant]]s all appear in [[zeldawiki:Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]].
