'''Burt the Bashful''', also spelled '''Bert the Bashful''',<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20030402151900/http://www.nintendo.com/games/gamepage/artwork.jsp?gameId=1282|title={{!}} Artwork - Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 - Games - Nintendo {{!}}|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=June 23, 2024}}</ref> is a recurring boss in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi franchise]]. He started out as a normal [[Burt]], which [[Kamek]] grows to a massive size in the events of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. 
==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
Burt the Bashful is the first mid-boss seen in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]], where he is found in [[Burt The Bashful's Fort]] half-way through [[World 1 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 1]]. At the end of the fort, [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] encounters a [[Burt]] which is enlarged by [[Kamek]], turning it into Burt the Bashful. To defeat him, Yoshi must hit him with [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s six times; with each hit, Burt's pants continue to fall off. When he is defeated, his pants entirely fall off and he turns red, blasts off and eventually implodes.

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
Burt the Bashful and the other castle bosses of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' cameo in the opening sequence of ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Additionally, the mid-bosses of [[World 1 (Yoshi's Island DS)|World 1]], the [[Big Burt Bros.]], are based on him. 

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Burt the Bashful also appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:BurttheBashfulSuperMarioKun.png|thumb|left|Burt the Bashful's appearance in the ''Super Mario-kun''.]]
In volume 14 of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', the volume based on ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Burt the Bashful is the first boss [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and Yoshi encounter. He bounces around, smashing Mario in the process. Yoshi also attacks and ends up failing. An [[Egg Plant]] assists them, but the Yoshi Eggs simply bounce off Burt. Finally, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi grab and pull down Burt's pants, revealing his genitals. Ashamed, he shrinks and starts flying off as a deflated balloon, causing havoc to Mario and Luigi.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[File:Main_Boss_1_Burt_the_Bashful.png|thumb|Burt the Bashful's appearance in ''Yoshi's Woolly World''.]] 
Burt the Bashful later appears in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' as the boss of World 1 in [[Burt the Bashful's Castle]]. Here, Burt has three phases. First, he jumps as in ''Yoshi's Island''. He occasionally summons two [[Shy Guy]]s as ammo. To damage Burt, Yoshi must first hit him with a yarn ball to stun him, then unravel his pants at the string. For the second phase, he gets two ball look-alikes, which jump around. During his final phase, he gets a third and fourth ball and summons three Shy Guys. Once Burt is entirely naked, the battle ends. In this game, not including Baby Bowser's second form, Burt the Bashful is the only boss that does not need to be [[Ground Pound]]ed to be defeated.

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
While Burt does not appear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', the player fights a similar boss called [[Burt the Ball]], which is a rubber version of him.

*'''[[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]:''' ''The first boss Yoshi encounters is more concerned about his modesty than beating the dinosaur who's entered his fort. Belt bouncing Burt with enough eggs and he'll drop his belt, then turn beet-red with embarrassment before dashing off. Kamek will have to find some tougher opponents if he wants to beat Yoshi.''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|page=16|author=Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson}}</ref>

**'''How to Beat Him:''' ''This bouncing boss can pound you to a pulp! Stay low in the hole on the floor and shoot your eggs up at an angle. The flower under the floor will provide you with egg ammo. Grab the eggs with your tongue, but watch out for Burt's big feet!''

==Trivia==
*Burt's sprites depict him differently from his artwork; notably, he has one curled hair in his sprites, but two drooping hairs in his artwork. Said artwork is reused for the [[Big Burt Bros.]], and the same inconsistency applies with them.
*Not including [[Baby Bowser]], Burt the Bashful is one of the only two bosses from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' that make an appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', the other being [[Naval Piranha]].
