A '''Mace Guy''' is a [[Spinner|Ball 'N' Chain]]-swinging [[Shy Guy]] who first appears in only three levels ([[Sluggy The Unshaven's Fort]], [[Raphael The Raven's Castle]] and [[Ultimate Castle Challenge]]) in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', as well as an additional secret level ([[Endless World of Yoshis]]) in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. The Ball 'N' Chain can hit a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] and damage him. A [[Yoshi]] can also eat the Shy Guy, and spitting it turns it into a normal [[Shy Guy]]. This also happens if they are frozen with an [[ice watermelon]]. While the artwork depicts the flail black with white spikes, the sprite depicts it light blue with yellow spikes. They also appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''.
'''Mace Guys''' are rare enemies within the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. They appear as a rare variant of a [[Shy Guy]], wielding and swinging a [[Spinner|Ball 'N' Chain]] so as to damage [[Yoshi]]. However, Yoshi is able to eat the Shy Guy, spitting it out to turn it into a regular Shy Guy. This may also happen if one is frozen with an [[ice watermelon]]. Despite their name, the weapon they wield is in fact a flail rather than a mace. Additionally, while the artwork depicts the flail as black with white spikes, the sprite depicts it as light blue with yellow spikes.


Although they are called Mace Guys in the English translation, the weapon they are wielding is in fact a flail and not a mace; this stems from a common misconception that any weapon with a spiked ball is a mace, when in fact a mace is a rigid club.
Mace Guys first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they appear in only three levels: [[Sluggy The Unshaven's Fort]], [[Raphael The Raven's Castle]], and [[Ultimate Castle Challenge]]. They return for one secret level in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'': [[Endless World of Yoshis]]. They reappear once more in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''.
