Shy Guy: Difference between revisions

Shy Guys make their debut in the [[Dr. Mario (series)|''Dr. Mario'' series]] in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as assistants. In stage mode, their skill has a chance of granting an easier skill meter increase, in which it reduces a doctor's skill gauge by 10 points prior to version 2.2.0 or by 10% of the doctor's maximum skill gauge since that version. If the skill gauge is reduced to a negative value this way, the doctor's skill gauge will not be able to fill. In versus mode, it grants doctors an extra chance to defend against an opponent's attacks. A Shy Guy was featured as a patient during season 9 of Clinic Events.

Yellow Shy Guys also appear as assistants. In stage mode, it has a chance of eliminating the remaining yellow viruses when there are only two of them left regardless of how many hits they take to eliminate, but it only activates once throughout the stage, meaning that it will not activate again in a scrolling stage or daily booster after the effect successfully activated once despite the condition being met again. In versus mode, it grants a chance in defending against one-line attacks, which does not stack with the doctor's innate defense. They are also seen at World 17 after an area is cleared of viruses.
