The Shy Squad is similar to theX-Naut squad headed byLord Crump in that they both appear in a large cluster, they haveHP relevant to their numbers, and there is a particular member that trips a lot. Initially consisting of 15 members, the Shy Squad starts with 15 HP, and whenMario and his partners attack the Squad, the number of members decreases with each point of damage dealt, one per HP. The Shy Squad attacks by rushing up to Mario and striking him in quick succession, dealing 1 HP per hit. How many times Mario is attacked depends on how many Shy Guys are left in the Squad, which equals the Squad's remaining HP. With excellent timing, it is possible to defend every attack they do, nullifying damage. When only a few members are left in the Squad, they willflee, to which General Guy scolds them for deserting.

Despite Shy Guys having low, squeaky voices, the Shy Squad always has a high-pitched, feminine shriek.

TattleThis is the Shy Squad. It'll attack us with all its members at once. Max HP: 15, Attack Power: 1, Defense Power: 0 The number of times we're attacked will equal the number of Shy Guys in the Squad. Its attack power is huge when there are many Guys, but it drops for each one that falls. Let's use an attack that does tons of damage so we can decrease their numbers and increase our chances!
