== History ==

===''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''===
[[Image:Flyguys.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Fly Guys as they appeared in ''Yoshi's Island''.]]
Fly Guys first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. In the game they carried [[Items]] like [[Red Coin]]s, 1-Ups, or even bombs. In some levels one of them would swoop down carrying a ? Cloud full of stars, and if [[Yoshi]] didn't get them in time the Fly Guy would float back up and laugh mockingly. They behaved similarly in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', except they did not carry bombs.

===''[[Yoshi's Story]]''===
Fly Guys make an appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They would come in a line of four. If Yoshi could defeat all four with one egg, he would be awarded with a melon. They appear in Stage 3-3: [[Poochy and Nippy]] and Stage 3-4: [[Frustation]].

===''[[Super Mario 64]]'' ===
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Fly Guys appear in [[Shifting Sand Land]]. They fly around the course, spitting fireballs at [[Mario]], trying to force the plumber into the lethal quicksand. They also appear in [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. This time, the Fly Guys spit fire at [[Mario]] near ledges, trying to kick him off the ledge. They also appear in [[Rainbow Cruise]], though in a small number. These are the only games where they have the ability to produce flames.

=== ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' ===
Fly Guys had minor roles in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', appearing as enemies in [[Star Hill]].

== Other Events ==
Fly Guy debuted in Mario spin-offs in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', as a secret character known for his technique. He reappeared in ''[[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]]'', where, strangely, Shy Guy was not playable.

Fly Guys have been noted for some important roles in the [[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party series]]; for example, Fly Guy is responsible for Duel [[Minigames]] in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. Two Fly Guys appear on the box art of ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. However, they only appear through cameos.
