A '''Boom Guy''' is a red [[Shy Guy]] that balances a [[Bill Blaster]] on top of its head. During the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Boom Guys patrolled the halls of [[Prince Bowser|Prince Bowser's]] [[Bowser's Castle|Castle]]. Upon spotting an intruder, a Boom Guy would fire a [[Bullet Bill]], engaging the intruder in battle. In a fight, a Boom Guy fires Bullet Bills to attack; an attack that can be dodged by jumping. The Boom Guy may also try and fake out its opponent by firing a puff of smoke before he actual attacks. If a Boom Guy is attacked enough times, his cannon will fall off, leaving him defenseless. When this happens, a Boom Guy will start to panic. Without a cannon, a Boom Guy can merely whistle for help. If heard, two [[Fly Guy]]s will appear and drop another Bill Blaster on the Boom Guy’s head, allowing the Boom Guy to resume the fight. If not heard, the Boom Guy will continue to panic.

A '''Boom Guy''' is a red [[Shy Guy]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' that balances a [[Bill Blaster]] on top of its head. Boom Guys patrol the halls of [[Bowser's Castle]]. Upon spotting their enemies in the overworld, Boom Guys fire a [[Bullet Bill]], engaging them in battle if the projectile connects. In a fight, Boom Guys launch Bullet Bills from their Bill Blasters to attack; these Bullet Bills can be dodged by [[jump]]ing. The Boom Guy may also try to fake out its opponent by firing a puff of smoke before it actually attacks. However, this can be predetermined by looking if it points at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] before attacking. If a Boom Guy is attacked enough times, its [[cannon]] falls off, leaving it defenseless, and causing it to become an ordinary Shy Guy. When this happens, the Boom Guy starts to panic. Without a cannon, it can only call for help. If it is heard, two [[Fly Guy]]s appear and drop another Bill Blaster on the Boom Guy's head, allowing it to resume the fight. Otherwise, the Boom Guy continues to panic until its next turn.
Stronger versions of Boom Guys called Elite Boom Guys, appeared in [[Gritzy Caves]]. These enemies were blue in color and attacked the same way, only their Bullet Bills fired much faster.


Stronger versions of Boom Guys called [[Elite Boom Guy]]s appear in [[Gritzy Caves]]. These enemies are blue and attack the same way, except that their Bullet Bills are fired much faster, and their Bill Blaster is more resistant.
