====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''==== | |||
In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]], Dancing Spear Guys hold their spears permanently upward and attack by dancing around a designated spot. They move to the right while rotating around the spear, then jump back to the left, damaging [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] at direct contact. They are edible, however, so Yoshi can simply swallow them. Unlike a normal Spear Guy, eating one and spitting it out will not change it into a normal [[Shy Guy|Shy-Guy]] and will also not cause it to roll down a path. However, they can still be tossed at other enemies this way to defeat them. Dancing Spear Guys can be defeated by turning them into a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]] or by throwing a Yoshi Egg at them. A chant can be heard while within a Dancing Shy Guy's range. | |||
[[ | Dancing Spear Guys first appear in the level [[Jungle Rhythm...]] Their spears are taller than those of regular Spear Guys, which makes it more difficult for Yoshi to surpass them. This is also sometimes used to their advantage when they occupy spaces under platforms, from where they can poke their spears at Yoshi without being vulnerable to his attacks. | ||
Dancing Spear Guys | ====''Yoshi's Island DS''==== | ||
Dancing Spear Guys reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Unlike most other Shy Guys in the game, their sprites are based off enlarged versions of their ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' sprites rather than Shy Guys' ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'' sprites, and as such they keep the green tint on their masks as opposed to blue like most others. They also move differently in that they hop when moving, and after every hop, they make a circle and jump in height, then they hop again to move. | |||
In ''[[ | ====''Yoshi's New Island''==== | ||
In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Dancing Spear Guys appear in the level [[Don't Fear the Spear]]. Unlike other games, they appear in a variety of colors. Some of them are pink with red face paint, while others are yellow with green face paint, somewhat resembling their original artwork and the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games. Unlike previously, if Yoshi eats one and spits it out, it loses its spear and turns into a normal Shy Guy. | |||
== | ===''Mario Party'' series=== | ||
[[File:Top100HideandGoBOOM!.png|thumb|Dancing Spear Guys in the Hide and Go BOOM! minigame of ''Mario Party: The Top 100'']] | |||
Dancing Spear Guys appear in a few minigames of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. Their first appearance in the series is ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', where torch-carrying Dancing Spear Guys appear in the minigame [[The Beat Goes On]]; here, they are led by a Spear Guy that plays a tune on drums, and players must follow the beat while adding their own continuation of it, or the Dancing Spear Guys will throw their torches at them. In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', three Dancing Spear Guys, colored orange and lacking spears, appear in the 1-vs-3 minigame, [[Hide and Go BOOM!]], wherein each of them lights the torch for the player to trigger one of the four cannons. In ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', Spear Guys appear in both minigames, retaining the same role as before. | |||
==Names in | As a species, Dancing Spear Guys do not appear in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', but there is a bamboo dancer named [[Hulu]] who is designed closely after a Dancing Spear Guy. | ||
