====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''==== | ====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''==== | ||
Fly Guys | Fly Guys make their debut in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', and they also appear in the [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]. In the game, they carry items including [[Red Coin|red coin]]s, [[extra life|extra lives]], [[coin]]s, [[Winged Cloud]]s, or even [[bomb]]s. Most, also known as '''Patrolling Fly Guys''',<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Prima Games|Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide]]'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island'' Confidential Information Tab}}</ref> slowly fly through the level. In some levels, they more actively swoop down carrying a Winged Cloud or a red coin. If that item is not obtained in time, the Fly Guy flies back up and makes a laughing noise indicating that it is gone. A variant known as [[Whirly Fly Guy]] also appears. Fly Guys can also disguise themselves as exploding balloons called [[Mock Up]]s. | ||
====''Yoshi's Story'' | ====''Yoshi's Island DS''==== | ||
Fly Guys behave similarly in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' as they did in the original game, except they do not carry bombs and the noise they make is much higher-pitched. Five of them, one carrying a red coin, two with 1-ups, and two with [[Coin]]s, appeared in the [[Island Museum]]. They are found in the [[Shy Guy]] exhibit. | |||
====''Yoshi's New Island''==== | |||
Fly Guys return as enemies in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', behaving as they did in previous games in the series. The yellow and green variants have the same modern appearance as the Yellow and Green Shy Guys once again, while a pink variant is introduced. These colored variants act the same as a regular Fly Guy, however. | |||
===''Super Mario'' series=== | |||

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|Nintendo DS version]], Fly Guys appear in [[Shifting Sand Land]], in [[Snowman's Land]], on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]], on [[Tiny-Huge Island]], and in [[Rainbow Ride]]. In the former, their propellers have three wings instead of two. They cannot carry items, but they have the ability to spit [[fireball]]s at [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] (being the only game where Fly Guys produce fire), as well as dive down to attack them. They drop two coins when defeated. If the player character stomps a Fly Guy, he [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]]s high into the air, which allows him to reach high places. The Fly Guys share this effect with the [[Spindrift]]s. When swallowed by Yoshi, they provide him with a burst of fire to spit. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Fly Guys appear in two minigames: [[Bounce and Pounce]] and [[Bounce and Trounce]]. | |||
====''New Super Mario Bros.''==== | |||
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', four colors of Fly Guys appear as enemies only in the minigame [[Balloon Racing]]. If Yoshi touches one, he loses a balloon. | |||
===''Tetris Attack''=== | |||
In ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', a Fly Guy appears in [[Lakitu]]'s stage on the top right at the top of the high-score in the large box. | |||

Flying Shy Guys with a more typical design appear in groups of four. They fly in a diagonal formation in from the side of the screen, stopping in front of [[Yoshi]]. If all four are defeated with one egg, Yoshi is awarded a melon. They appear in Stage 3-3: [[Poochy & Nippy]], Stage 3-4: [[Frustration]], and Stage 5-3: [[Shy Guy Limbo]]. | Flying Shy Guys with a more typical design appear in groups of four.

Fly Guy's only major appearance in the ''Mario Tennis'' series, as well as its first playable appearance in general, is ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. Fly Guy is an unlockable playable character of the Tricky type, and the player can unlock it by winning the [[Mushroom Cup]], the [[Flower Cup]], and the [[Star Cup]] in singles. Fly Guy's [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Offensive Power Shot]] is the [[Tornado Twist]], which envelopes the returning player in a whirlwind while messing up controls, and its [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Defensive Power Shot]] is the [[Tornado Return]], which it uses a whirlwind to return the ball from anywhere. Fly Guy's trophy animation begins with it beginning to receive its trophy from Wario and Waluigi, while Peach watches, unaware of their new prank. Then Waluigi surprises it by holding up a pair of pliers and trapping them with it. But Fly Guy shakes them off by spinning and knocking over Wario and Waluigi. It then catches its trophy as Peach cheers. | Fly Guy's only major appearance in the ''Mario Tennis'' series, as well as its first playable appearance in general, is ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''.

===''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy''=== | |||
Fly Guys reappear in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]''. They attack Yoshi by flying right at him, sometimes taking advantage of the Game Boy Advance's gyro controls, should the player become reckless. Despite red-robed Fly Guys aiding Bowser in attacking Yoshi's Island in the intro, only the green-robed ones are seen. | |||
===''Yoshi Touch & Go''=== | |||
Fly Guys reappear in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''. They attack Yoshi by flying near him and dropping bombs. They also hold coins, similar to the ''Yoshi's Island'' games. The player can defeat them by throwing an egg, circling the stylus around them, or eating them. In addition to their usual red robes, yellow and green ones reappear, while blue-robed Fly Guys make their debut. | |||

Fly Guys do not physically appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' or ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', but two of them can be seen on the Mario-themed airplane in [[Sunshine Airport]]. | Fly Guys do not physically appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' or ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', but two of them can be seen on the Mario-themed airplane in [[Sunshine Airport]]. | ||

[[File:YWW Fly Guy.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|A Fly Guy from ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']] | |||
Fly Guys reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and the game's [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|port]]. They reprise their original role as enemies, being first found in [[Burt the Bashful's Castle]]. Their bodies are colored differently from each other and appear to be made of wool strings, in step with the handcrafted aesthetic of the game. Once [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] sticks his tongue onto one, he unweaves and contains the Fly Guy into his mouth, turning it into a [[yarn ball]], which he can then either directly spit out to attack, or eat. Some Fly Guys have propellers on their back rather than their head. When listening to music in the [[Scrapbook Theater]], Fly Guys as musical notes fly to the left across the screen. | |||

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''=== | |||
[[File:YCW Fly Guy.png|100px|left|thumb|A Fly Guy from ''Yoshi's Crafted World'']] | |||
Fly Guys reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. They tend to be stationary or patrol small areas, and are often used as stepping targets. As with other Shy Guys, they wear pilot attire in [[Altitude Adjustment]], circus attire in [[Hoop-Jump Hop]], and space attire in [[Outer Orbit]]. | |||
