—Message Block,Yoshi's Story

White Shy Guys are aspecies inYoshi's Story. They are friendlyShy Guys, unlike most, and are friends to theYoshis. If aBaby Yoshi finds a White Shy Guy, the White Shy Guy follows behind the Yoshi like aYoshi egg, copying the Yoshi's movements until the stage is completed. The White Shy Guy takes the place of one of the Yoshi's eggs, meaning that the Yoshi can carry only five eggs instead of the normal number of six. After the stage is completed, the White Shy Guy can be selected on the Yoshi-selection screen. There can potentially be multiple White Shy Guys on the selection screen if the player collects them throughout the game without using them. If selected, the White Shy Guy equips the helicopter backpack of the largeFlying Shy Guys and travels toBaby Bowser's castle in order to rescue any Yoshi that has been captured by theToadies. White Shy Guys are usually hidden inside? Bubbles or? Blocks in thelevels they appear in. The bubbles or blocks that contain them can spawn in the respective levels only if the player has lost a Yoshi.
