==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
[[File:SMW2 YI Mufti Guy.png|thumb|left|upright=0.8|Artwork from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', showing Petal Guy's original design]]
Petal Guys are enemies in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'']] series, being introduced in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]] and returning in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. A Petal Guy's behavior involves it crouching down, using the flowers on its head to disguise itself as a flowerbed, so that when a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] approaches, the Petal Guy begins trying to harm him. Only the red-robed variation appears in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' and ''Yoshi's New Island'', though the latter game features artwork for the green-robed variant. In ''Yoshi's New Island'', Petal Guys appear in [[Don't Fear the Spear]] only.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party Advance''====

A Petal Guy is a character in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. He has a role in the [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] mode, where he is in love with [[Flutter]]. When the player arrives at the [[Petal House]], Petal Guy asks the player to deliver his poem to Flutter. However, upon arriving at her floor in the [[Mushroom Condo]], Petal Guy arrives, saying that he was also searching for his love. He then recites the poem, hoping that she will love him, but fails. It is presumed he made some more attempts before giving up. According to the ending, he gave up poetry, and started carpentry.

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
A Petal Guy makes a cameo in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. There is a painting of it sitting in a vase at the end of the [[Fruit Parade]] minigame, on a wall in the background along with paintings of Shy Guys and a [[Spear Guy]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:MKT Petal Guys.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Petal Guys are spectators in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. They appear in the background of the [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] course. Unlike in ''Yoshi's New Island'' and ''Yoshi's Crafted World'', they come in various colors again, such as red and green; exclusively in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', a blue-robed Petal Guy variant makes its debut.

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
Petal Guys are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. They wear flowers made of cut paper, matching the game's thematic art styles. Only the green-robed Petal Guys make an appearance. Petal Guys have flowers that are now differently-colored pink, yellow and purple. Petal Guys can be defeated from being [[jump]]ed on, but their flowers protect them from all attacks until they reveal themselves.
