'''Shy Guys''' (ヘイホー, Heihō in Japan) are timid troublemakers that wear robes and masks. Their first appearance was in the non-Mario game ''[[Doki Doki Panic]]''. They originally worked for [[Wart]] in the dreamworld [[Subcon (place)|Subcon]]. Shy Guys are common enemies in the [[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi'' series]]. In later games, Shy Guys join in some social activities like sports and parties.

====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====

[[Image: ShyGuySprite.gif|left|frame]]

[[Image:Bigshyguy.PNG|thumb|right|Red and blue variants of the big Shy Guy.]]

Shy Guys made their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In this game they worked for [[Wart]], and would walk in whatever direction [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] or [[Toad]] happened to be in. They could be easily disposed of by being picked up and thrown. They often appeared out of [[Vase]]s. They came in red and pink (or in the SNES and GBA versions blue). In [[Super Mario Advance]], the GBA remake, the pink shy guys became blue.  Also, in ''Super Mario Advance'', big Shy Guys were introduced.

[[Image: LavaBoat.jpg|thumb|left|Several Shy Guys from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'']]

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', Shy Guys made irregular appearances as antagonists, working for [[Bowser|King Koopa]]. Like most other minions of King Koopa, Shy Guys would wear costumes to go with the setting of an episode in ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''

Shy Guys appeared commonly in issues of [[Nintendo Comics System]], where they appeared as the, somewhat disgruntled, soldiers of Bowser; along with [[Koopa Troopa]]s, Shy Guys appeared to be the most common minions of Bowser in Nintendo Comics System.

===''Super Mario Adventures''===

In ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', a Shy Guy, along with a [[Snifit]] and [[Flurry]], appeared as an attendee at Bowser's wedding to [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]].

In the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' movie, the scientist minions of King Koopa largely resembled Shy Guys, possessing similar masks and robe-like clothing; to strengthen this resemblance, the Snifits, close relatives of Shy Guys, of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' film also resembled these scientists.

===''Yoshi'' series===

====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====

[[Image:Shy_Guy_Yoshi's_Island.PNG|right|frame]]

Shy Guys' first chronological appearance was in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they were known as '''Shy-Guys'''. Here they were extremely common and weak enemies, simply walking forward, making it easy for [[Yoshi]] to swallow them and turn them into [[Egg]]s. If they touch Yoshi, [[Baby Mario]] will go flying off of his back. Shy Guys would often appear out of [[Warp Pipe|Pipes]] until Yoshi got six eggs. The colors that Shy Guys appeared in were red, yellow, green, and magenta. [[Boo Guys]] also first appeared in this game.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Shy Guys were once again common enemies, walking forward and backward. Woozy Guys from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' had disappeared, although more varieties rose up. Some Shy Guys carry [[Fruit]] or hide in trees. To defeat the Shy Guys that are in trees, Yoshi must [[Ground Pound]] near the tree they are hiding in, causing them to fall out. Additionally, if Yoshi Ground Pounds near a Shy Guy, its color will change, although the reason for this change is unknown.<ref>''Yoshi's Story'' Instruction Booklet, page 21.</ref> If different colored Yoshis eat a Shy Guy with the same color, they will be awarded with three petals on their [[Smile Meter]] instead of one. Additionally, when a [[Baby Yoshi]] eats a Shy Guy, the [[Yoshi Egg]] that is produced will be the same color as the Shy Guy. This game also introduces the first "good" Shy Guy, the [[White Shy Guy]]. Shy Guys have voices in this game; they can be distinctly heard saying "Hei-Ho" (their Japanese name) and other sounds as well.

<br clear=all>

Shy Guys reappear in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''. They are vulnerable to all attacks and are worth a [[Yellow Coin]]. In this game, like all the other enemies, bumping into a Shy guy caused an instant Game Over. Shy Guy serves the same purpose in this game as in the previous, as working as a common soldier for [[Baby Bowser]]. Many varieties of Shy Guy appear on the island.

[[Image: Shyguys.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Three Shy Guys in ''Yoshi's Island DS''.]]

Shy Guys also appeared in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', once again, as very common and weak enemies. Yoshi could use any tactic to defeat them: jumping, egg-throwing, or swallowing. Shy Guys in this game played virtually the same role as they did in Yoshi's Island. However, there is a boss known as [[Big Guy the Stilted]]. It is seemingly a robot built buy Shy Guys.

Other than being common enemies, Shy Guys also had their own section in the [[Island Museum]]. Yoshi could view the different types of Shy Guys in that section, though Shy Guys that do not wander on land, such as [[Tube Guy]]s, were only in the marine section.

Blue Shy Guys appeared here, as well as all of the colors from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' (except magenta).

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Shy Guys known as [[Shyster]]s worked for the [[Smithy Gang]]. They helped [[Mack]] to invade [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the [[Princess Peach's Castle|castle]]. Different, mechanical versions of these Shy Guys named [[Shyper]]s and [[Springer]]s were also found in the alternate [[dimension]] of [[Smithy]]'s [[Factory]].

A bunch of Shy Guys appeared to be allies with [[Raphael the Raven]] in ''[[Tetris Attack]]''. A spell was cast on all of them to work for [[Bowser]]. They appeared in the 8th level, and were saved by Yoshi. It is unknown what happened to these brave Shy Guys after the events of the game, it is believed that they returned to normal Shy Guy life. It's unknown if these Shy Guys actually serve anyone or are free Shy Guys.

Shy Guys appear in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party series]]'' (mainly in the mini-games). In this series Shy Guys are friends of the Mario cast. In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' a Shy Guy (with [[Toad]], a [[Boo]], a [[Goomba]] and a [[Koopa Troopa]]) find the mystical [[Party Cube]], with which they can create parties and game boards. In this game Shy Guy wears a fedora, much like Indiana Jones. He also has his own board, [[Shy Guy's Jungle Jam]]. Shy Guy also appears as a playable character in [[Beach Volley Folley]].

A single, friendly, Shy Guy appears as the conductor of [[Shroom City|Shroom City's]] [[Train Station]] in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. One of the games quests involves retrieving a ticket from him and delivering it to [[Goomba]] (an easy feat, since the Train Station is located only a few spaces away from the [[Goomba House]]). In another of the game's quests, the Shy Guy asks the [[Player]] to obtain [[Coal]] for him, because the Train's have apparently run out. The Player can find the Coal in the [[Vending Machines]]. Once this is done, he will reward the player with the [[Gaddget]], [[Cake Maker]].

|tattle=This is a Shy Guy. They're ne'er-do-wells. Big time rascals. No good... They occasionally do acrobatic attacks that have an attack power of 3.

Shy Guys, as well as several variations of them, were semi-common enemies in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. After Mario returns from [[Forever Forest]], he finds [[Toad Town]] overrun by Shy Guys. He can hit the enemies with his [[Hammer]] to make them run out of town. Once Mario discovers [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] (the secret hide-out of the Shy Guys) they can be fought as normal enemies. They have two main attacks: They can simply tackle Mario (2 damage), or they can do an acrobatic attack, dealing 3 hitpoints of damage and bowing to an unseen but not unheard crowd.

During the ending cinema of the game some Shy Guys can be seen talking with [[Watt]], a baby [[Li'l Sparky]] that they were keeping as a prisoner, implying that they have changed their ways.

[[Image:PaperMario2ShyGuy.gif|thumb|Shy Guy's apperance]]

Although Shy Guys were not actual enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', they did appear in the [[Audience]] of most of the battles, and a few statues of Shy Guys also appeared on the [[Poshley Heights]] fountain. Occasionally, if part of the audience, Shy Guys will run onto the backstage and cause pieces of the set to fall on Mario or his enemies. Shy Guys will give Mario [[Star Power (Paper Mario)|Star Power]] along with the other audience members when he performs a move correctly.

Shy Guys also appear in the audience of ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' when a [[Stylish Move]] is performed. It is interesting to note that the name ''Heihoo'', which is Japanese for "Shy Guy," appears alongside other [[Beta Elements|scrapped]] enemy names (among which are also ''Faia Heihoo'' "Fire Shy Guy", ''Komando Heihoo'' "Commando Shy Guy", and ''Burakku Heihoo'' "[[Black Shy Guy]]") in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s coding, indicating that Shy Guys were once going to appear as enemies in that game,<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/pmttyd_lost.shtml#items The Mushroom Kingdom] (Accessed on 7-15-08)</ref> although it is unknown if they were ever going to play any more major role than their final one in ''Super Paper Mario''.

===Mario & Luigi series===

====Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story====

In [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]], several Shy Guys can be found in [[Bowser's Castle]], and a new Shy Guy character, [[Sergeant Guy]] is introduced.  

====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====

Shy Guys also appear in the [[Yoshi's Story (stage)|Yoshi's Story]] stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Although they are actually [[Fly Guy]]s, they are called Shy Guys. The Fly Guys will fly past the stage. They are unable to damage players, but they carry [[Food]] with them, which can be dropped on the ground if they are attacked. If the player KOs a Shy Guy, they receive the bonus "Shy Guy KO". They also have a [[trophy]] in their honor.  

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====

[[Image:Mariocircuit.png|thumb|170x140px|left|Shy Guys in [[Mario Circuit]] from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]

Shy Guys appear in the [[Mario Circuit]] stage, racing in go-karts in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. They are the only racers, and they will appear going across the top or bottom of the stage. If hit, the Shy Guy racers will spin out of control and wipe out. It is possible to get rid of every Shy Guy on the track, but after some time they will just come back.

<br clear=all>

[[image:ShyguyKart.jpg|thumb|right|A Shy Guy, with its standard [[kart]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.]]

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' Shy Guys appear ice-skating in [[Sherbet Land]], acting as obstacles for the racers. A statue of two Shy Guys can be seen in the background of [[Baby Park]], and they appear in the audience of [[Waluigi Stadium]]. A Shy Guy was playable in the [[Mario Kart DS#Download Play|download play]] version of ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', with colors such as white, black, green, light blue, dark blue, red, yellow or pink, there was a rumored rainbow colored Shy Guy, that is proven to be untrue. Also, on the Action Replay DS Card, there was a cheat where the player could press select to play as the said Shy Guy. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Shy Guys appear as spectators and stage hazards on various tracks. In the city section of [[Moonview Highway]], the Shy Guy [[emblem]] can be seen on the guard rails. Also, cyan/teal Shy Guys appeared on the sidelines, colors that had never been seen before on a basic Shy Guy. Also, Shy Guy appears on DK Mountain as a snowboarder and track hazard doing tricks in the half pipe.

<br clear=all>

Shy Guy is an opponent at the puzzle game ''[[Yakuman DS]]'' at the Ranking Mode. He's not a high-rank player, and is a bit easy to defeat.

Shy Guys of all different colors were playable in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. They are balanced characters. Ironically, their starting captain is [[Yoshi]], one of their earliest enemies. They appear in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', still on Yoshi's team. In both games they have near average statistics in all four categories, but being slightly better batters and pitchers than than they are fielders and runners.

===''Mario Football'' series===

Shy Guys appear as sidekicks in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]''. They are balanced players. Their skillshot is the [[Bullet Bill Blast]]. When given enough time, a Shy Guy will charge fully before riding a fast bullet bill aimed right at the goalie. When this move is performed, the goalkeeper and all players near him (including the Shy Guy) will be temporarily stunned. Shy Guy is sometimes able to get back up and score before the goalie does, or a teammate may score. Alternatively, an opposing player trailing the bullet bill (who was a safe distance away) will sweep through and pass the ball downfield to one of his teammates. The Bullet Bill Blast has among the lowest success rates of any skillshot in the game, due to the fact that Shy Guy himself is stunned. Scoring with it is sometimes based on pure chance of where the players on the field were when the explosion happened.

When Shy Guy scores, it does its own celebration. It runs but trips and its mask falls down similar to the ''Mario Power Tennis'' trophy award. Strangely, when Shy Guy scores, the mask makes facial expressions despite the fact that it's just a mask.

===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''===

Shy Guy is a referee in the [[Wii]] crossover, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. Shy Guy is seen in his normal outfit of red robes and randomly hosts events with a cast of other Mario and Sonic Characters.

Shy Guys first appeared in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', where they were minions of the tyrannical king [[Wart]]. However, their first appearance ''chronologically'' was in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' where they were members of the [[Koopa Troop]]. It can be assumed that the Shy Guys that work for Bowser answer to [[General Guy]].

Since ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Shy Guys have been seen working for many other villains, including [[Smithy]], [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Kamek]]. One Shy Guy (the White Shy Guy) is actually an ally of Yoshi. It may be assumed that Shy Guys are jacks-of-all-trades, and can work for whoever they want to or may even be mercenaries. There is a group of Shy Guys, [[Snifit]]s, and [[Beezo]]s called the [[8 bits]].

[[Image:ShyGuySMB2.png|thumb|right|An early ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' Shy Guy.]]

All Shy Guys (with the minor exception of General Guy) wear robes that can be red, pink, blue, yellow, green, black, or white. They are all fairly short and all wear masks, it is unknown what is behind them . In the intro movie of ''Mario Power Tennis'', Luigi sees a Shy Guy without his mask on and is shocked at the sight. In ''Luigi's Mansion'', Luigi can use the [[Poltergust 3000]] to pull the mask off Shy Guy Ghosts. These faces are pure blackness with two glowing yellow eyes. It is unknown whether this is what a Shy Guy's face looks like when it is alive, or if the Shy Guy Ghosts are even actual Shy Guys, as they are not actually ghosts. They, like the game's other generic ghosts, were imitations created by [[Vincent Van Gore]].

It is also possible that the Shy Guys' so-called "masks" are not masks at all, but rather faces. In ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the sleeping Shy Guy's mask eyeholes are closed, supporting this fact. Also, the [[Bandit]] sub-species of Shy Guy have been shown to have the ability to change the expressions on their masks as if they were their actual faces. The picture shown when Bandit wins in ''Super Mario World 2'' minigames even suggests that he is able to stick out his tongue. Also, ''Super Mario RPG''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Shy Guys' eyeholes comically spin when the Shy Guy is confused, much like people's eyes do in cartoon gags; the Shy Guys of ''Super Mario RPG'' are also able to blush on their masks. [[Spear Guy]]s and [[Cannibal Guy]]s are perfectly capable of moving their mouthholes when chanting and singing, as ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' shows. Most recently, in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'', Shy Guys have been shown to yet again to be perfectly able to change the expressions on their masks. However, most information suggests that Shy Guy's mask is indeed a mask, and what he hides behind it is surely something very dark and secret.

Some early ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' artwork of Shy Guys, as well as ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', depicted Shy Guys as wearing strange, [[Chuckola Fruit]]-like [[badge]]s depicting an angry face. It is unknown what this badge represents; it is possible that it is some kind of emblem to the [[8-bits]], another Shy Guy-related element seen only in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. and ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' are also notable for using game artwork of the earliest forms of Shy Guys, making them tall, stout, and [[human]]oid; however, the appearance of Shy Guys was later retconned to their in-game sprite appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

In the first few episodes of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', Shy Guys were depicted as being similar in appearance to their game counterparts, though with one large exception - their masks possessed only two holes. They only had eyeholes perpetually in a scowling position. Later episodes of the show would have Shy Guys resembling their game versions more with three holes in their mask, all of which were perfectly circular.
