Editing Burt the Bashful

'''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]]''.

 

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's 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 in embarrassment, blasts off and eventually implodes.

 

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.

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.

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. Not including [[Baby Bowser]], Burt the Bashful and [[Naval Piranha]] are the only two bosses from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' to make an appearance in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'' and ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''. Additionally, not including [[Mega Baby Bowser]], Burt the Bashful is the only boss in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'' and ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World'' that does not need to be [[Ground Pound]]ed to be defeated.

|Eng=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.
