Exploring Shy Guys on GBA Sunset Wilds

Exploring Shy Guys are largeShy Guys with prospector equipment that act as obstacles onGBA Sunset Wilds and its variants inMario Kart Tour. Four are encountered in a camping area near thefinish line on each of the course's variants, replacing the Shy Guys found in theMario Kart: Super Circuit rendition of Sunset Wilds. Instead of clinging to a driver and slowing them down, Exploring Shy Guys skip back and forth across the track, causing drivers that come into contact with them to spin out. They can be taken out with any offensive item. Exploring Shy Guys can also be seen in an area in the background.

Two playable Shy Guy variants, both introduced in the2023 Exploration Tour, have the same design as the light blue and yellow Exploring Shy Guys.

The Exploring Shy Guys return inMario Kart 8 Deluxe in theBooster Course Pass withGBA Sunset Wilds. They function nearly the same as they do inMario Kart Tour, with the only difference being that they now drop 3 coins if they are taken out with an item.
