At the end of the fort, Yellow Yoshi encounters a normal Burt, which Kamek grows to a massive size, turning it into Burt the Bashful. To defeat him, Yellow Yoshi must hit him with eggs six times; with each hit, Burt's pants continue to fall off. When he is defeated, his pants entirely fall off and, ashamed, he turns red, blasts off and eventually implodes. While Burt does not appear in Yoshi's Island DS, the mid-bosses of World 1, the Burt Brothers, are based on him. He also cameos in the beginning, alongside Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island's castle bosses and Tap-Tap the Red Nose. Burt the Bashful also appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a sticker.

  • Not including Baby Bowser, Burt the Bashful is one of the only two bosses from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island that make an appearance in Yoshi's Woolly World, the other being Naval Piranha.
