'''Spear Guys'''<ref name=guide>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. [[Media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128]].</ref> are tribal [[Shy Guy]]s found in the jungles of various games. Spear Guys are identical to typical Shy Guys, though they wield a spear and shield, and usually wear grass skirts and have painted marks on their masks. Their designs take after stock depictions of sub-Saharan African warriors in Western media, particularly the {{wp|Maasai people}} in eastern Africa and the {{wp|Zulu people}} in southern Africa. Similar enemies include [[Chuck Guy]]s and their [[Elite Chuck Guy|Elite]] counterparts from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Hook Guy]]s from ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. | '''Spear Guys'''<ref name=guide>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson.

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', Spear Guys, also dubbed Shy Guys,<ref>"''Shy Guy – Shy Guys prevent Mini Mario from reaching certain areas by patrolling back and forth.

They patrol their area and hold their spears upright, extending their vertical reach slightly and allowing their range to pass through semisolid [[girder]] platforms. Upon activation of a red [[Color Switch]], Spear Guys transform into stationary solid blocks. When in this state, Spear Guys can be used as a step or bridge to cross harmful areas. Spear Guys can be defeated with [[hammer]]s. They first appear in [[Room 2-7 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 2-7]] of [[Sandstone Stroll]], but are more prevalent on the [[Jungle Rumble]] floor. | In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', Spear Guys, also dubbed Shy Guys,<ref>"''Shy Guy – Shy Guys prevent Mini Mario from reaching certain areas by patrolling back and forth.
