'''Stretches'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=American English|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=[[:File:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|128]]}}</ref> are enemies that are encountered in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]. These variants of [[Shy Guy|Shy-Guy]]s are taller and thinner than ordinary Shy-Guys, with additional hair on their head. [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] cannot defeat them by [[jump]]ing on them; instead, when jumped on, Stretches get flattened and spit out [[watermelon]] seeds. If Yoshi keeps at least one of these Shy-Guys around, he can easily take out other [[List of enemies|enemies]] nearby. They are very rare, and are only encountered in two levels; the latter version also includes magenta ones in [[Endless World of Yoshis]].
