Polterguys first appear as enemies in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', and are found in [[Spooky House]]. Like other enemies in the game, if [[Mario]] comes in contact with them in their standard form, he loses a [[Extra life|life]]. Polterguys cannot be defeated; instead, when Mario presses a [[Color Switch]] of the same color as a Polterguy, it turns into a harmless block that Mario can stand on. However, Polterguys in this form will revert to their standard form if Mario presses a Color Switch of a different color than the Polterguy. | Polterguys first appear as enemies in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', and are found in [[Spooky House]].

Polterguys also appear in Spooky House's boss stage, [[Level 4-DK]]. These Polterguys now have flame-like auras similar to [[Pyro Guy]]s, though this is only a visual effect, and the usual animation plays if Mario loses a life by coming in contact with them. As they float around in a set pattern, [[Donkey Kong]] hits one of three Color Switches, transforming the Polterguy of that color into a regular Shy Guy, which Mario can pick up and throw at Donkey Kong to damage him. | Polterguys also appear in Spooky House's boss stage, [[Level 4-DK]].
