Fly Guys, also just known asShy Guys,[1][2] are a variant ofShy Guy that have propellers on their heads. Fly Guys have been used for various roles, most commonly to carry items, sometimes harmful things such asbombs, or something to benefit the player, such ascoins. The color of Fly Guy's propeller was originally yellow, but have also been white and are blue in recent appearances. Fly Guys first appear inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Their name is a pun on how they fly using their propellers and "Shy Guy".
History[edit]
Yoshi series[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island /Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]
Fly Guys are introduced as enemies inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and theremake, as well as their variantWhirly Fly Guys. They carry items includingred coins,extra lives,coins,Winged Clouds, or evenbombs. Most, also known asPatrolling Fly Guys,[3] slowly fly through the level. They sometimes swoop down carrying a red coin[4] or a Winged Cloud, though after a few seconds, if the item is not obtained on time, the Fly Guy flies back up and makes a laughing noise before disappearing. Fly Guys can also disguise themselves as exploding balloons calledMock Ups.
Yoshi's Story[edit]
InYoshi's Story, Fly Guys are calledFlying Shy Guys and come in two varieties.[5][6]
The more common ones fly via a helicopter-like pack that they carry on their back consisting of a two-blade propeller (on top of the pack), which spins on a horizontal axis, and an eight-blade propeller (at the back of the pack), which spins on a vertical axis. Functionally, they are similar to the Fly Guys ofSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They fly aboveBaby Yoshi carryingfruit. They will continue to fly back and forth across the area where they appear in, but will immediately fly off-screen if Yoshi eats the fruit they are carrying. Like normal Shy Guys, they change color when a Baby Yoshi performs aGround Pound near one. They can be defeated by Baby Yoshi like any other Shy Guy (with the exception of theblack Shy Guy, which has its own characteristics). Tiny red ones appear in massive swarms inCloud Cruising andLots O'Jelly Fish, going in and out of the background with only some carrying fruit.
Flying Shy Guys with a more typical design appear in groups of four. They fly in a diagonal formation in from the side of the screen, stopping in front ofYoshi. If all four are defeated with one egg, Yoshi is awarded a melon. They appear in Stage 3-3:Poochy & Nippy, Stage 3-4:Frustration, and Stage 5-3:Shy Guy Limbo.
Yoshi Topsy-Turvy[edit]
Fly Guys reappear inYoshi Topsy-Turvy. The red-robed variety is seen assistingBowser in the intro, though green ones are more common than red ones in gameplay. Fly Guys attack Yoshi by flying right at him, sometimes as a result of the player tilting the system.
Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]
Fly Guys reappear inYoshi Touch & Go. They attack Yoshi by flying near him and dropping bombs. They also hold coins, similar to theYoshi's Island games. The player can defeat them by throwing an egg, circling the stylus around them, or eating them. In addition to their usual red robes, yellow and green ones reappear, while blue-robed Fly Guys make their debut.
Yoshi's Island DS[edit]
Fly Guys behave similarly inYoshi's Island DS as inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, except they do not carry bombs and do a much higher-pitched noise. Five red-robed Fly Guys are in theShy Guy exhibit of theIsland Museum, one carrying a red coin, two with 1-ups, and two withCoins.[7]
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
Fly Guys return as enemies inYoshi's New Island. They behave as they did inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island andYoshi's Island DS. The yellow and green variants have the same contemporary design as the Yellow and Green Shy Guys, while a pink variant is introduced. Fly Guys behave the same, regardless of the color of their robe.
Yoshi's Woolly World /Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]
Fly Guys reappear inYoshi's Woolly World and the game'sport. They reprise their original role as enemies, being first found inBurt the Bashful's Castle. Their bodies are colored differently from each other and appear to be made of wool strings, in step with the handcrafted aesthetic of the game. OnceYoshi sticks his tongue onto one, he unweaves and contains the Fly Guy into his mouth, turning it into ayarn ball, which he can then either directly spit out to attack, or eat. When listening to music in theScrapbook Theater, Fly Guys as musical notes fly to the left across the screen.
Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]
Fly Guys reappear inYoshi's Crafted World. They tend to be stationary or patrol small areas, and are often used as stepping targets. As with other Shy Guys, they wear pilot attire inAltitude Adjustment, circus attire inHoop-Jump Hop, and space attire inOuter Orbit.

Super Mario 64 /Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
InSuper Mario 64 and itsNintendo DS version, Fly Guys appear inShifting Sand Land, inSnowman's Land, onTall, Tall Mountain, onTiny-Huge Island, and inRainbow Ride. In the former, their propellers have three wings instead of two. They cannot carry items, but they have the ability to spitfireballs atMario,Yoshi,Luigi, orWario (being the only game where Fly Guys produce fire), as well as dive down to attack them. They drop two coins when defeated. If the player character stomps a Fly Guy, hespin-jumps high into the air, which allows him to reach high places. The Fly Guys share this effect with theSpindrifts. When swallowed by Yoshi, they provide him with a burst of fire to spit. InSuper Mario 64 DS, Fly Guys appear in two minigames:Bounce and Pounce andBounce and Trounce.

He then offers the player to help with calling the UFO, asking them to simply follow his lead. Once the signaling is done properly, the UFO flies in and hovers right above their heads, causing Mr. E to panic. As a reward for helping him out, Fly Guy gives the player theMorse MakerGaddget.

When attacked softly, or if an object is thrown at them, the Flying Shy Guy drops his food and flies off the screen; if they are knocked out with an attack, they drop the food they are carrying and spin downwards off the screen. Defeating them also causes the player to earn the "Shy Guy KO" bonus. If food is disabled in the item switch, they do not bring food.

Mario Tennis series[edit]
Mario Tennis[edit]
In theMario Tennis for theNintendo 64, the playable Shy Guy metamorphoses into a Fly Guy in his Tournament win animation.
Mario Power Tennis /New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis[edit]
Fly Guy reappears in theMario Tennis series withMario Power Tennis, where it is an unlockable Tricky type playable character separate to the regular Shy Guy. This is Fly Guy's first playable appearance. It can be unlocked by winning the Mushroom Cup, the Flower Cup, and Star Cup in singles. ItsOffensive Power Shot is theTornado Twist, which envelopes the returning player in a whirlwind while messing up controls, and itsDefensive Power Shot is theTornado Return, which it uses a whirlwind to return the ball from anywhere. Fly Guy's trophy animation begins with it beginning to receive its trophy from Wario and Waluigi, while Peach watches, unaware of their new prank. Then Waluigi surprises it by holding up a pair of pliers and trapping them with it. But Fly Guy shakes them off by spinning and knocking over Wario and Waluigi. It then catches its trophy as Peach cheers.
Mario Tennis Aces[edit]
InMario Tennis Aces, a trio of Fly Guys appear whenBirdo uses herSpecial Shot, lifting and throwing her into the air.
Mario & Luigi series[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]
Fly Guys appear as enemies inStar Hill inMario & Luigi: Partners in Time. They carry time bombs with a number from 0 to 3. One attack involves a Fly Guy flying upwards and dropping the bomb on its target. Halfway in the top screen means Luigi, all the way top means Mario. It can be countered with the hammer. Every counter or hit makes the bomb lose one number. If it hits zero, it explodes. If the Fly Guy survives, it gets a new bomb. The other attack is rocking back and forth to throw it. The number of times it rocks depends on who gets hit. If it rocks twice or six times, it rolls towards Luigi, and if it rocks four or eight times, it rolls towards Mario. This can be dodged by jumping.
They also appear if the player causes aBoom Guy to lose its launcher. A pair of red Fly Guys drop a new one on its head. The same event applies forElite Boom Guys except the Fly Guys are blue. Fly Guys also appear when aHandfake uses aBowser cut-out attack, where it carries a flame cut-out and flies towardsLuigi to attempt to damage him (Boo is used to attackMario).
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
Fly Guys reappear as enemies inMario & Luigi: Dream Team. In the field, Fly Guys roam at a high altitude, but dive down at Mario and Luigi upon sight, and chase them relentlessly for a short period of time. In battle, Fly Guys' attacks revolve around usingGoombas, and due to this, they often spawn Goombas into the battle. Fly Guys do not spawn any more Goombas after four have been spawned, even if there are no more Goombas on the field. Fly Guys also do not spawn any more Goombas if there are three already in battle.
If no Goombas are present on the battlefield during its turn, the Fly Guy flies high into the sky to reappear flying back into the battlefield from the background, now air-lifting a Goomba in its grip; the Fly Guy then drops it in line with Mario and Luigi (from Mario's left) for them both to charge one after another at Mario and Luigi. Dodging the Goomba requires Mario and Luigi to jump before it hits them. Dodging the Fly Guy requires Mario and Luigi to not jump into it while trying to dodge the Goomba, and to just idle as it goes by. Either the Fly Guy or Goomba may charge ahead first with no discernable pattern as to which one it will be.
If there is a Goomba present, the Fly Guy may pick it up, fly above Mario or Luigi, and drop the Goomba on them. This must be countered by hammering the Goomba into the sand before it lands on the targeted bro which may cause thedizzy status if it lands. After that, the Goomba then runs at the targeted bro again if it survived; if the Fly Guy spiraled flying on the way up with the Goomba and the Goomba is not knocked out, it will appear dizzy with stars flying around its head before it charges into the bro who wasn't targeted. This attack only takes up the Fly Guy's turn.
A stronger variation of Fly Guy calledFly Guy R appears later on in the game. ThePiranha Plants found inDreamy Driftwood Shore may spit out Fly Guys as part of their attack.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]
Fly Guys appear as enemies inMario & Luigi: Paper Jam. They only appear in specific missions, such as inDoop Doop Dunes'stwenty minute quest, theToadetterescue mission where one holds her captive under orders fromKamek inBowser's Castle, and a couple of other required quests. If two or more Fly Guys appear in a battle, one will be holding a bomb, and defeating it causes the bomb to drop and damage other enemies. While Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario choose aCommand Block, the Fly Guys may pass the bomb between each other.
Fly Guys also appear during the final battle againstShiny RoboBowser, showing up in two of his attacks. If he chases the trio to the left, Fly Guys may appear along the path, damaging the Bros. if they jump into them. They also appear during the Airplane Guard chase attack, where Paper Mario in his plane form must evade the incoming Fly Guys.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]
Fly Guys appear inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, where they are enemies and recruitable allies found inMinion Quest: The Search for Bowser. They are flying troopers, and attack by ramming enemies from the air. Fly Guys are strong againstIce Bros.

Mario Hoops 3-on-3[edit]
Fly Guy is an unlockable character inMario Hoops 3-on-3. He is unlocked if the player gets at least a bronze trophy in theStar Tourney on hard difficulty. Fly Guy is also classified as a tricky character, the others beingBoo,Paratroopa,Black Mage, andMoogle.

Dr. Mario World[edit]
Fly Guys appear inDr. Mario World as assistants. In stage mode, their effect is to increase the obtained score for each redvirus eliminated, where the base score increase is greater at higher levels. In versus mode, their effect is to instead increase the speed of the attack meter for both the user and their opponent, where the amount of points required to fill the attack meter is reduced by the percentage listed, rounded down to the nearest round number. The attack meters are reduced further when other assistants with the same effect are present, such as withMechakoopa or another Fly Guy.
Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]
Fly Guys make theirPaper Mario series debut inPaper Mario: The Origami King. They, like many of Bowser's minions, are transformed intoFolded Soldiers byKing Olly. Their design in the series now matches their appearance in various modernSuper Mario games, while their propeller is white like in their earlier appearances. They surround theSea Tower inThe Great Sea, and can be defeated without going into battle by ramming into them with the boat after it gets an engine upgrade, although defeating them this way will not register them for theMusée Champignon gallery.
In battle, a Fly Guy can use Blush from Above for 4 damage, Flyin' Blush Rush for 5 damage, Stomp for 8 damage, and a Drop Attack where they drop an enemy on Mario, defeating it in the process.
Mario Strikers: Battle League[edit]
A Fly Guy appears in version 1.1.0 ofMario Strikers: Battle League, as part of Shy Guy'sHyper Strike, Propeller Dive. The Fly Guy will pick up Shy Guy, twirl around, and throw him at the ball. Like inMario Golf: Super Rush, the Fly Guy will always be red regardless of what color team Shy Guy is on, though the soccer uniform it wears will match the team's color.
Unused appearances[edit]
Fly Guys have unused graphics inSuper Paper Mario. They had propellers on their backs, instead of their heads, which along with their pose causes them to resemble the ones fromYoshi's Story. Additionally, similar enemies calledSky Guys appear inPaper Mario.
