Fat Guys make their first appearances in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' level [[Lakitu's Wall]], and are uncommon enemies throughout the rest of the game. They come in two colors: red (which initially walk but will run if Yoshi stands on them) and green (which are always running). Fat Guys simply walk or run back and forth continuously, changing direction when they encounter a wall or a margin, unlike regular [[Shy Guy|Shy-Guy]]s which walk around and may stop and turn back on their own will. They are able to damage Yoshi if they bump into him, but Yoshi can attack them by eating and ingesting them. If spat back, they will resume their behavior.

Fat Guys attack by simply walking or running back and forth, much like regular [[Shy Guy]]s.


Upon ingesting a Fat Guy, Yoshi receives a [[Giant Egg]]. Fat Guys can also be used as platforms to cross obstacles such as [[Spike (obstacle)|spikes]], as they are not damaged by [[jump]]ing and Yoshi can safely stand on them.

When Yoshi has three Giant Eggs at his disposal, all of the Fat Guys will disappear until Yoshi uses at least one of the Giant Eggs.

While no regular Fat Guys appear in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'', a larger variant, known as [[King Debuhō]], does.
Fat Guys reappear in the [[Game Boy Advance]] game, ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'' where they once again appear as enemies and try to defeat [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]].


===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
===''Yoshi's Island DS''===
In ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', red Fat Guys appear in [[Poochy's Sweet Run]] and [[Poochy's Magma Run]] and can be seen with different behaviors. Most simply walk back and forth on the ground and will start running after being jumped on, much like in their original appearance. They can be defeated by throwing an egg at them, charging into them with [[Poochy]], eating and turning them into eggs, or [[Ground Pound]]ing them. Ingesting a Fat Guy will fill Yoshi's [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] stash instead of granting one Giant Egg like in past games.
Fat Guys returns in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', where they behave similarly to their first appearance.


Some Fat Guys stand in the background, pushing rectangular cutouts in Yoshi's way and rising them back up after a short time. Yoshi can stand on these objects while they are down as on a regular platform, and even ride them upward as the Fat Guys pull them back upright. In some cases, Fat Guys push these objects onto thin stilts and create a platform over a dangerous pit.
==Notable Fat Guys==
*[[Gourmet Guy]] &ndash; ''[[Paper Mario]]''


In [[Altitude Adjustment]], pilot-themed, orange-robed Fat Guys make an appearance. Most drop down using parachutes to hinder Yoshi, but one pilots an [[airship]] at the end of the stage.
==Trivia==
*In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Fat Guy has a cameo on the Soda Cup and Fries in the [[minigame]] [[Fast Food Frenzy]].
*When a Fat Guy walks, its left foot tends to disconnect from the rest of his body on the back-step.
