'''Shy Guys'''<ref>Sinfield, George. ''Luigi's Mansion'' Official [[Nintendo]] Player's Guide, page 85.</ref> are [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]] that appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. They appear in a multitude of colors, wear eyeless [[Shy Guy]] masks, and are equipped with pitchforks resembling those carried by [[Beezo]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and the non-''Mario'' game ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''. When [[Luigi]] uses the vacuum on them, the masks come off revealing two yellow eyes and a small black hole for a mouth that are actually set on the hoods that they wear. Removing their masks also allows them to be stunned with the flashlight and vacuumed. They have 20 HP.

'''Ghost Guys''' (originally known as '''masked ghosts''',<ref>Loe, Casey. Versus Books ''Luigi's Mansion'' Perfect Guide.

Page 46.</ref> or simply '''Shy Guys'''<ref>Sinfield, George. ''Luigi's Mansion'' Player's Guide. Page 85.</ref>) are [[ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]]s that appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]. They appear in a multitude of colors, wear eyeless [[Shy Guy]] masks, and are equipped with pitchforks resembling those carried by [[Beezo]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and the non-''Super Mario'' game ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''. When [[Luigi]] uses the vacuum on them, the masks come off, revealing two yellow eyes and a small black hole for a mouth that are actually set on the hoods that they wear. Removing their masks also allows them to be stunned with the flashlight and vacuumed. They have 20 HP.


There are two types between the colors: red and green Shy Guys wear plain white masks and will pursue Luigi slowly, jabbing at him when close enough; pink, purple, orange, yellow, and white Shy Guys wear red and white masks with drawn on mustaches, and dance in pairs in a circular motion, with one occasionally swinging its spear in a circular motion for the other to duck under. If Luigi captures one in a pair, its partner will pursue him like the red and green types, except spinning instead of jabbing. A group of dancing Shy Guys appear on the [[Roof (Luigi's Mansion)|Roof]] near a fire, and in the [[Ball Room]], where the [[Floating Whirlindas]] appear after Luigi catches them.
There are two types between the colors: ones with plain white masks appear in red and green and will pursue Luigi slowly, with the red type jabbing at him and the green type twirling the spear when close enough. They appear in the [[Astral Hall]]. Ones with red and white masks (the same colors as a [[Phanto]]) with drawn on mustaches dance in pairs (pink with purple, yellow with orange, and white with brown) in a circular motion, with one occasionally swinging its spear in a circular motion for the other to duck under. This type is called a '''dancing masked ghost'''<ref name=Brady/> or, in the remake, '''Dancing Ghost Guy'''. If Luigi captures one in a pair, its partner will pursue him like the red and green types, only spinning the spear to attack. A group of six dancing Ghost Guys appear in the [[Ball Room]], where [[The Floating Whirlindas]] appear after Luigi catches them, and another group of six appears on the [[Roof (Luigi's Mansion)|Roof]] near a fire.
 
Standard Ghost Guys are more widespread enemies in the PAL version's [[Luigi's Mansion#Hidden Mansion|Hidden Mansion]]. Dancing Ghost Guys, however, appear slightly less, as the number on the roof has been reduced to two.
