All Shy Guys (with the minor exception of some Shy Guys from ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'') wear robes that can be red, pink, blue, yellow, | All Shy Guys (with the minor exception of some Shy Guys from ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'') wear robes that can be red, pink, blue, light blue, yellow, orange, green, black, gray, or white. They are all fairly short and all wear masks with holes on them that represent eyes and a mouth. It is unknown what is behind these masks. However, in Shy Guy's trophy celebration movie in ''Mario Power Tennis'', Luigi sees a Shy Guy without his mask on and is shocked at the sight. Also, in ''Luigi's Mansion'', Luigi can use the [[Poltergust 3000]] to pull a mask off a Shy Guy Ghost. Shy Guy Ghosts do not have eyes on their masks, but their faces are pure blackness with two glowing yellow eyes where the mask's eyes would be. It is unknown whether this is what a Shy Guy's face looks like when it is alive, as they, like the game's other generic ghosts, were imitations created by [[Vincent Van Gore]]. | ||
It is also possible that the Shy Guys' so-called "masks" are not masks at all, but rather faces. In ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the sleeping Shy Guy's mask eye holes are closed, supporting this. Also, the [[Bandit]] sub-species of Shy Guy have been shown to have the ability to change the expressions on their masks as if they were their actual faces. The picture shown when Bandit wins in ''Super Mario World 2'' [[Mini-Battle]]s even suggests that he is able to stick out his tongue. Also, <i>Super Mario RPG</i>'s Shy Guys' eye holes comically spin when the Shy Guy is confused, much like people's eyes do in cartoon gags; the Shy Guys of ''Super Mario RPG'' are also able to blush on their masks. [[Spear Guy]]s and [[Dancing Spear Guy]]s are perfectly capable of moving their mouth holes when chanting and singing, as ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' shows, while [[Boo Guys]] are shown regularly changing their expressions and blinking. Most recently, in ''Mario Strikers Charged'', Shy Guys have been shown to yet again be perfectly able to change the expressions on their masks. | It is also possible that the Shy Guys' so-called "masks" are not masks at all, but rather faces.
