Shy Guys on Pogo Sticks[1] areenemies inYoshi's Story. Thesepogo stick-usingShy Guys are first encountered inSurprise!! Most Shy Guys on Pogo Sticks merely stand in a specific spot and jump repeatedly, occasionally performing a flip. UnlikeStilt Guys, Shy Guys on Pogo Sticks do not need to be dismounted from their rides to be attacked and thus can be defeated by throwing aYoshi egg at the exposed Shy Guys orswallowing them. Also, much like with normal Shy Guys, the color of the rider can be changed byground-pounding near it.
