Paint Guys are a type ofShy Guy that appears in the gamePaper Mario: Sticker Star. Paint Guys are Shy Guys that carry a can of yellowpaint into battle and are usually accompanied by Shy Guys,Snifits,Clip Guys, andNinjis. If the Paint Guy still has a paint can over its head, it will attempt to pushMario and try to cover the screen with yellow paint. Rapidly pressing theA Button button or repeatedly touching the touch screen is the only way to prevent this from happening. If the player does not do it in enough time, the Paint Guy will cover up important things like the health bars (both the enemies' and Mario's) and Mario's attacks. If the Paint Guy fails to do so, the Paint Guy will go back to its position with its can of paint above its head. However, after each attempt, the speed at which the Paint Guy pushes Mario increases. Once a Paint Guy loses its paint can, it will attack like a normal Shy Guy.

Paint Guys are never seen outside battle, so in order to fight them, Mario would need to go in battle with a Snifit, a Ninji, aShy Guy or aPiranha Plant.

Paint Guys reappear inPaper Mario: Color Splash as an enemy and appear in different colors, corresponding with the red, blue, and yellow paint Mario uses, though only red ones are fightable. In this game, they attack by smacking Mario with their paint cans. This time around, they can be seen outside battle, unlike inPaper Mario: Sticker Star.

Paint Guys carry the stolen paint from colorless spots. They first appear inRuddy Road, where one stole the paint from the RedMini Paint Star and Mario has to follow him to recover the paint. Many Paint Guys appear inBlack Bowser's Castle, riding on a conveyor belt and dumping paint into a larger bucket. Some assistRoy Koopa in battle by dumping Mario's paint in hisBill Blaster.

While Paint Guys do not appear inPaper Mario: The Origami King, smallPaper Macho Shy Guys in theFire Vellumental Cave hold buckets like Paint Guys, though the buckets contain oil instead of paint.
