- “Shy Guy corps reporting. They got us. They got us all. We're such bad soldiers!”
- —Shy Guy,Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
InMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its3DS remake,Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Shy Guys appear in the game, but regular red ones are not enemies to battle. A couple of Shy Guys can be found inBowser Castle. A notable Shy Guy,Sergeant Guy, makes his debut in this game. InBowser Path,Dimble Wood, andPeach's Castle, Shy Guy variants can also be found.Fawful Guys can be fought byMario andLuigi.Leaf Guys can be found in theWiggler boss battle when Wiggler waters the saplings and in the air they can be inhaled by Bowser too.Dark Fawful Guys are only found when Bowser battles enemies, and like Leaf Guys they can beinhaled for Mario and Luigi to fight.

Four Shy Guys are also the first brainwashed minionsBowser Jr. and theKoopalings encounter.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
Shy Guys reappear as an enemy inMario & Luigi: Dream Team while Mario and Luigi are searching for theUltibed parts. Shy Guys can only be fought after theShy Guy Airtub they were inhabiting has been destroyed, and always appear in a group of three when battled at that point. They are never found on the field. In battle, they attack by bouncing to either side of Mario or Luigi, and running at them simultaneously, similar to howFawflants from the previous game attack. This can be dodged by jumping over or on to the Shy Guys, but they can give a bro the trip status. Cyan Shy Guys known asWalker Guys appear inNeo Bowser Castle. These types of Shy Guys hold chains againstChain Chomps.
Shy Guys assist theElite Trio in one of their attacks, loading theSergeant Guy Cannon with aBanzai Bill for a later turn. The same occurs for theElite Trio X fight later in the game, with theSergeant Guy Cannon X. Shy Guys also contribute to theBowser Jr. boss fight, in two of his attacks. One has two Shy Guys carry a flaming rope to jump over, the other has nine Shy Guys carry gifts for both the Bros. and Bowser Jr.
A stronger variation of Shy Guys calledShy Guys R appear in Neo Bowser Castle onShy Guy Airtubs R andDreamy Shy Guys appear during the final battle withDreamy Bowser, both on the field and on theShy Guy Airtub DX.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]
Shy Guys appear inMario & Luigi: Paper Jam in both their normal andpaper versions inMount Brrr, on the path to Neo Bowser Castle. One of their attacks involves tossing a rock or their paper counterpart at a Mario Bro. that results in one of them appearing on the battlefield if not hammered back. Occasionally, they instead toss a mushroom that the Mario Brothers can use to restore 50 HP. If there are two, they will both line up with the regular Mario Bros. and run at them, whichever one trips will roll into their target and strike first, and both Shy Guys must be hammered. A regular Shy Guy can also pair with a Paper Shy Guy for this attack, although the regular version will always strike first. InNeo Bowser Castle, they can wieldPaper Chomps as well as regular Chain Chomps. If the Shy Guy is defeated, both Chain Chomps will flee. Two Shy Guys are fought alongside two Paper Shy Guys as one of Bowser's last lines of defense, and these ones act as they did in Mount Brrr.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership[edit]
Shy Guys appear inMario & Luigi: Brothership as enemies in Bowser's Castle. Shy Guys pull out a hammer for one attack which the Bros. must counter with their hammers. If a Bro. readies his hammer, the Shy Guy steps back and soon throws its hammer; leaving the hammer down instead lets them approach. If they walk towards the Bros., they whack them with the hammer. Shy Guys also grab presents which contain either coins or a Bob-omb, and slowly walk towards the Bros. while pushing the presents after the presents' contents are shown. If the Bros. avoid jumping on a present containing a Bob-omb, the Bob-omb explodes and damages the Shy Guy that was pushing it. Shy Guys may initiate a jumping challenge, where a Bro. must jump when the Shy Guy holds a flag with a Bros.' emblem,. If the Shy Guy holds only a pole, neither Bro. must jump. If one command is missed, a bomb falls on and damages the Bro. who missed the command, whereas if the Bros. are successful enough times, a bomb falls on and damages the Shy Guy. This attack in particular is based on the minigameShy Guy Says from theMario Party series.
Glohm infected Shy Guys appear on the path to the part of Bowser's Airship.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong series[edit]
Shy Guys,[15][16][17] also known asMini Shy Guys[18] orRed Mini Shy Guys,[19] appear with a toylike design in theMario vs. Donkey Kong series. They act similarly to Shy Guys fromSuper Mario Bros. 2, simply patrolling left to right on a platform. Touching them from the sides is harmful for bothMario and theMini toys. They are among the weakest enemies in the series and can be defeated with any form of attack available in a game, of which the most commonly seen arehammers. They tend to move faster when hammers are in use, similar toBowbows from theGame BoyDonkey Kong. As they are basic enemies, Shy Guys often appear in early levels and only occasionally return in later levels.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong[edit]
InMario vs. Donkey Kong andits remake, Mario can ride them or pick and throw them at other enemies to defeat them (as inSuper Mario Bros. 2). They can also be defeated by throwing another enemy or an object, such as aGarbage Can orkey, at them. Shy Guys debut in thefirst level of the game, where they patrol areas in front of Garbage Cans which can be used to attack them, and continue to appear occasionally in subsequent levels. Exclusively in theSpooky House boss stage,Level 4-DK, Shy Guys are transformed intoPolterguys and vice versa byDonkey Kong'sswitches. Remarkably, throughout the entirety ofLevel x-7, a Shy Guy needs to be used to cross beds ofspikes.
Certain types of Shy Guys wield weapons and have different colors and behavior from the standard red Shy Guys; these includeFire Shy Guys,Spear Guys, andWrench Shy Guys.
One normal Shy Guy news reporter is seen briefly onDonkey Kong's television in the game's introduction.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis[edit]
Shy Guys return inMario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, where they now pause for an extended period of time after reaching a wall and turning around. Minis can ride Shy Guys to safely cross certain hazards, although touching the sides of a Shy Guy (or any other enemy) will instead instantly break a Mini.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again![edit]
Regular Shy Guys do not appear inMario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!; they are replaced bySpear Guys. Despite this, they are simply referred to as Shy Guys in the American English version.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem![edit]
Spear-less Shy Guys returnMario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, shortening their vertical reach. Despite the change, they remain harmful to touch from above, unlike inMario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. Shy Guys appear early in the game, starting withArea 1-5 where the player learns that it is possible to destroy enemies using hammers. In this game, they can also be defeated by shooting into one from aCannon or sliding into one from a slope. Later in the game, inSuper Skywheel, Shy Guys can fillShy Guy Blocks, becoming solid platforms.[16]
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars[edit]
Shy Guys inMario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars act and look the same as inMario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!. They are also introduced in a similar stance inLevel 1-3, where the player can pick up a pair of hammers and destroy the Shy Guy present in the level.
A portrait of what looks like a normal Shy Guy can be seen in the background ofClattering Cabin-themed levels (as shown, for instance,hereMedia:MvsDKTSofficial99.jpg).
Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge[edit]
InMini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, Shy Guys once again appear as enemies. In addition to being vulnerable to hammers or a slope slide, Shy Guys can be defeated byeating them withMini Yoshi, or less commonly by being hit withMini Bowser'sBowser Bomb.

Mario Strikers series[edit]
Mario Strikers Charged[edit]
Shy Guys are balanced sidekicks inMario Strikers Charged with the skillshotBullet Bill Blast. Shy Guy recovers quicker than other teammates, meaning he can quickly get to the ball and score.

Mario Strikers: Battle League[edit]
Shy Guys are audience members inMario Strikers: Battle League, though the version 1.1.0 update adds a playable character of the All-Rounder type, giving it balanced statistics, although Shy Guy's strength, shooting, and passing are slightly higher than its speed and technique.[20] Up to four Shy Guys can be placed on the player's team, and itsHyper Strike is Propeller Dive.

In stage mode, their skill has a chance of granting an easier skill meter increase, in which it reduces a doctor's skill gauge by 10 points prior to version 2.2.0 or by 10% of the doctor's maximum skill gauge since that version. If the skill gauge is reduced to a negative value this way, the doctor's skill gauge will not be able to fill.

Link cannot attack them from the front with hisSword, due to the protective mask worn by Shy Guys, but only from using aSpin Attack behind the Shy Guy.The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX and theNintendo Switch remake both depict Shy Guys red. A very similar enemy known asArm-Mimic, known asHollow Mimic in the Nintendo Switch remake, is essentially a stronger version of them. There is an obtainable figure of Shy Guy at theTrendy Game in the remake that can be placed in theQuadruples' house. When acquiring the figure, the text reads, "You got a Shy Guy figure! Just don't ask what's underneath the mask."

General information[edit]
Allegiance[edit]
Shy Guys have first appeared as members of the8 bits, led byWart, inYume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic andSuper Mario Bros. 2. Starting withSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Shy Guys have become associated withBowser in the wider franchise, going on to appear as a part ofBowser's Minions in multiple other spinoff series such asYoshi,Paper Mario, andMario & Luigi. InSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Shy Guys and many of its variants appear as part of theSmithy Gang, working underSmithy. Friendly Shy Guys typically also appear in spinoff media, like theMario Party series, or notably theWhite Shy Guys inYoshi's Story.
Physical description[edit]
Shy Guys are short creatures that wear masks with three holes, each intended to represent eyes and a mouth, as well as robes. Shy Guys are normally red, but they also exist inother colors. Shy Guy masks are largely expressionless, with very few instances depicting them mimicking facial expressions: The Shy Guys ofSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars have spinning eye holes while confused, and are able to blush, they have closed eye holes while asleep inYoshi's Island DS, andMario Strikers Charged also has Shy Guys that emote through their masks. Early episodes ofThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show! depict Shy Guys with only two holes, representing their eyes, and with a scowling look. Later episodes add a third hole in Shy Guys' masks, representing their mouth.
Shy Guys have never been depicted without their masks. In the rare instances where one falls, characters are shown to be alarmed when witnessing what is behind the mask, like Luigi inMario Power Tennis, as well as a Goomba and Koopa Troopa inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie. Shy Guys are suggested to be faceless inPaper Mario: Color Splash, as one in theGolden Coliseum says thatMario would make a terrible Shy Guy for having one.
Some earlySuper Mario Bros. 2 artwork as well asThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show! depicted Shy Guys as wearing mask-like badges depicting an angry face, similar to that ofPhanto. Another Shy Guy-related element seen only inSuper Mario Bros. 2 andThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show! are also notable for using game artwork of the earliest forms of Shy Guys, making them tall, stout, and human-like; however, the appearance of Shy Guys was later redesigned to their in-game sprite appearance inSuper Mario Bros. 2.
Shy Guys are shown to have stick-like legs under their robes inCaptain Toad: Treasure Tracker,[23] and their legs are also shown when winning first place inMario Kart 8 or during certaintricks. A scene from the rave inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie shows a Shy Guy (or a Snifit) attempting to catch a runningBuzzy Beetle by diving into it, flashing briefly a pink skin leg (or legware) under the robe. InPaper Mario: The Origami King, a Shy Guy inSpring of Jungle Mist implies that Shy Guys have very short necks that make it difficult to look up.
Shy Guys frequently wear other clothes and equipment on top of their masks and robes, with those usually identifying them as separate variants, such asSpear Guys,Groove Guys andPetal Guys. There are also a few instances where regular Shy Guys have worn other objects, such as the Shy Guy host inMario Party 4, or the Pastry Chef, Ninja and Explorer alternate outfits inMario Kart Tour.
