Variant of	Shy Guy

Spy Guys are a type ofShy Guy encountered inPaper Mario. They appear exclusively inShy Guy's Toy Box. Spy Guys are dressed in camouflage gear, wearing aghillie suit made to resemble a leafy bush with three flowers as a disguise. Thus, they somewhat resemblePetal Guys fromSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They hold either a slingshot or hammer in their hand.

Spy Guys wereoriginally going to reappear inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, but were cut from the game. Their "command_heiho" name remains in the game's coding.^[1]

Battle[edit]

They can attackMario with a slingshot outside and inside of battle; the long range of this attack gives Spy Guys an advantage in scoring aFirst Strike, and conversely good at avoiding Mario's own attempts. Whenever a Spy Guy is damaged, it changes weapons, altering between slingshot and hammer. If Mario fails to guard against a hammer attack, he suffers theProhibited Command status effect and loses one of his action commands for several turns. Unlike other Shy Guys, when a Spy Guy is defeated, they will sit on the floor rather than continue their "damaged" animation.
