'''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, Yellow 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.

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.

|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. 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; Munson, Terry}}</ref>
