{{multiframe|[[File:SMB2 Red Shyguy Sprite.png]] [[File:ShyGuySprite.png]]|A Shyguy in the original and ''Super Mario All-Stars'' versions|align=left|size=140}}
Shyguys, are the most common enemies in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. They debut alongside [[Snifit]]s and [[Beezo]]s. Shyguys damage the player character on contact. Shyguys can be defeated either from throwing an object at them or by picking them up and throwing them at another enemy.<ref>{{cite|quote=Pick up the Shy Guy and toss him at the Snifit to take care of two enemies with one blow.|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' Volume 1|date=Spring 2001|author=Tsuboike, Yoshio, et al.|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=36}}</ref> Red Shyguys walk off of ledges, unlike the pink type, and are also found riding [[Autobomb]]s and [[Ostro]]s, as well as appearing from [[jar]]s. Pink Shyguys are recolored blue in the remakes of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. The remakes also recolor the shoes of Red Shyguys to purple, as well as the blue Shyguys' shoes to orange (besides artwork depicting it white). The heavier [[Mega Guy|Big Shy Guy]]s were also added in the remake ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''.

[[File:ShyGuySMM.png|frame]]
A Shy Guy with its ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' design is an unlockable [[Costume Mario|costume]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', and is unlocked by clearing 100 Mario Challenge on any difficulty. The Shy Guy costume reuses some of the sound effects from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]'' features Shyguys and their [[GLOM]]-created sand clones, but Mario never fights Shyguys.

Luigi mentions that he is "shivering like a Shy Guy" in a cave area in ''[[Koopa Capers]]''.

One is encountered by Mario and Luigi at the [[Koopahari Desert]] in ''[[Pipe Down!]]''. Shy Guys can also appear with [[Tweeter]]s and [[Cheep Cheep]]s if Mario and Luigi, activate a lever in the Mushroom Palace.

Mario and Yoshi jump over Shy Guys to dodge them in ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]''.

Shy Guys are among the enemies in ''[[Unjust Desserts]]'' that are sent after Mario as he goes into Yoshi's body to save Luigi.

Shy-Guys in red, yellow, green, and magenta varieties are common enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]. Their mask straps are colored, and dark levels show their shoes glowing. They either walk or hop in a direction, as well as sometimes look left or right. Certain [[Warp Pipe|Pipes]] spawn Shy-Guys endlessly if [[Yoshi]] does not have six [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]]. Either a [[stomp]] or being swallowed by a Yoshi defeats a Shy-Guy, but only the latter stops them from respawning if Yoshi continues forward and returns.{{ref needed}} The game introduces a variety of Shy Guy variants.

Shy Guys retain their role of being common enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They have voice clips, such as saying their unlocalized name, "Heihō." Shy Guys either carry [[fruit]] or hide in [[tree]]s, though Yoshi can [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] to have Shy Guys fall out of the latter. A ground-pound near a Shy Guy also changes its color,<ref>{{cite|title=''Yoshi's Story'' instruction booklet|page=21|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1998|language=en}}</ref> and a Shy Guy can become a Lucky Fruit if Yoshi ground-pounds near it while under the effects of a [[Heart Fruit]]. Eating a Shy Guy of the same color restore three petals of that Yoshi's [[Health Meter|Smile Meter]] instead of one, and the resulting [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]] also matches the Shy Guy color. The game adds the allies [[White Shy Guy]]s and the enemies [[Black Shy Guy]]s. The level [[Shy Guy's Ship]] includes Shy Guys launching [[Bob-omb]]s at the player character from a [[Shy Guy Galleon|pirate ship]] in the background.

[[File:Shyguys.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Artwork of three Shy Guy colors for ''Yoshi's Island DS'' (from left to right): red, yellow and green]]

The game adds three varieties: [[Bomb Guy]]s, [[Hook Guy]]s, and [[Pharaoh Guy]]s, as well as brown colored Shy Guys. There is one Shy Guy sitting peacefully in the foreground of the inside of [[Miss Cluck the Insincere's Castle]] in front of the entrance Yoshi enters. In [[Lair of the Smooch Spiders]], Shy Guys can be found tied to webs; Yoshi can use his tongue to untie and release them. In [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]], Yoshi must obtain yarn balls from Shy Guys of four different colors and use each to wrap one of the four statues at a large entrance to open it. However, only a few of the necessary Shy Guys appear among a multitude of black ones. When the player picks a music track to play in the [[Scrapbook Theater]], Shy Guys drift from right to left in the form of musical notes. Shy Guys also appear in course previews on the world map, such as for [[Bounceabout Woods]], where a red one is seen bouncing on a Spring Tree.

====''Yoshi's Crafted World''====
[[File:YCW Shy Guy.png|thumb|left|100px|A Shy Guy in ''Yoshi's Crafted World'']]
Shy Guys reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', serving the same purpose as in previous ''Yoshi'' games. They can be seen doing various activities such as flying a kite, hiding behind cardboard cutouts, etc. They act and appear as they did in previous games, but in [[Dino Desert]], they can wear a dinosaur skull. When this happens, they proceed to chase after Yoshi, destroying any stone block in front of them, and cannot be defeated. Besides Yoshi, Shy Guys can also be defeated by bigger enemies. ''Yoshi's Crafted World'' brings many more new types of Shy Guy including: [[Attack Ghost]]s, [[Bazooka Heyho]], [[Donguri Heyho]], [[Fly Heyho]], [[Juggling Heyho]], [[Ninja Guy]]s, [[Rush Heyho]], [[Skall Heyho]], [[Vampire Heyho]], [[Zombie Guy]]s, and [[Zombie Debuho]].

Three red Shy Guys riding in a roller coaster also appear as a craft in [[Spinwheel Shuffle]].

There are also crafts of Shy Guys in levels that are not part of the craft list. In [[Spring Sprung Trail]], a drawing of a red Shy Guy watering a plant is seen near one of the pink flower platforms. In [[Poochy's Sweet Run]], there are cardboard cutouts of Shy Guys with square and rectangular eyes, mouths, and shoes as if they are frosted gingerbread cookies. Inside the vertical walls of the [[Haunted Maker Mansion]], there are framed Shy Guy painting crafts above the doors. In [[Ninjarama]], there are some paintings of Shy Guys riding on and getting chased by tigers pictured on the doors as well as drawings of Shy Guys drawn on white paper by calligraphy brush. There are also cardboard cutout groups of red Shy Guys appearing as spectator crafts coming in threes or fours in Hoop-Jump Hop and [[Solar Zoom]].

{{quote|Oh no... Poor me...|Shy Guy|Paper Mario}}
[[File:PM1shyguycolors.png|thumb|left|The five different colorations of the Shy Guy (from left to right): red, blue, green, yellow and pink]]
Shy Guys are semi-common enemies in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They appear in five color varieties but are indifferent from one another. Several of them overrun [[Toad Town (Paper Mario)|Toad Town]] after Mario returns from the [[Forever Forest]], causing problems for the local [[Toad (species)|Toads]], but hitting these Shy Guys with the [[Hammer]] chases them away. Shy Guys are fought in [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]], their secret hideout, and either run directly at Mario, run away, or around him in circles. Shy Guys either tackle, inflicting 2 damage, or perform an acrobatic-like move that does 3 points of damage. The animation of blocking a Shy Guy shows it throwing a tantrum, wagging its body and making a noise. Shy Guys have their own written language, which [[Russ T.]] can understand because of his [[Dictionary]]. The ending shows some Shy Guys talking with [[Watt]], as well as later dancing on General Guy's parade float, which has "Heihos" on both the left and right sides.

Shy Guys have several varieties. There are [[Groove Guy]]s, Shy Guys that make Mario [[dizzy]]; [[Sky Guy]]s, Shy Guys that have balloons to keep them in the air; [[Medi Guy]]s, Shy Guys that heal any ally; [[Spy Guy]]s, Shy Guys that wear camouflage gear; [[Pyro Guy]]s from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''; and the powerful [[Black Shy Guy#Paper Mario|Anti Guy]], three of which appear in [[Bowser's Castle]] if the player answers three questions incorrectly during the quiz with the second [[Guard Door]].

Red Shy Guys can also be found on [[Lavalava Island]] when [[Spear Guy]]s shed their armor.

=====Field Tattle=====
Outside of battle, [[Goombario]] can use [[Tattle]] only on a Shy Guy who has taken over [[Shroom Grocery]] in [[Toad Town#Paper Mario|Toad Town]] before Mario whacks the Shy Guy into retreating.
*"''This Shy Guy is just causing trouble in here. He's pretending to shop, but he's not buying anything. Hey, buy something or get out, pal! You hear me?''"

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

Shy Guys are not enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', which features the relatively similar [[X-Naut]]s. Shy Guys are part of the Audience during several battles, sometimes going backstage and causing pieces of the set to hit Mario or his enemies, also signaling the occurrence of a hazard. Like other audience members, Shy Guys give [[Star Power]] to Mario if he performs a move correctly. A Shy Guy (a [[Black Shy Guy]] in the remake) can appear onstage when using [[Clock Out]], and if an enemy or a large boss like [[Macho Grubba]], [[Big Boo|Atomic Boo]], [[Cortez]], [[Smorg]], [[Magnus von Grapple 2.0]], [[Gloomtail]] and [[Bonetail]], and the [[Shadow Queen]]'s true form is on the ceiling,<ref>{{cite|title=TTYDGCN Clock Out on almost all Bosses (plus Swooper bonus at end)|author=Kooky Goonie|date=August 14, 2024|accessdate=August 14, 2024|url=youtube.com/watch?v=6jm_4YbNIQI|publisher=YouTube}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=TTYDNS: Clock Out Shy Guys?

A few statues of Shy Guys are at the [[Poshley Heights]] fountain.

The name ''Heihoo'', the Japanese name for Shy Guys appears alongside other [[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|scrapped]] enemy names (among which are also ''Faia Heihoo'', ''Komando Heihoo'', and ''Burakku Heihoo'', the Japanese names for Pyro Guys, Spy Guys, and the Anti Guy respectively) in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''{{'}}s coding, suggesting that Shy Guys, as well as the three variants of them identified earlier, were once going to appear as enemies in that game.

They attack by flailing their arms while running to Mario but can sometimes trip, making the attack unsuccessful. A Shy Guy also tries to steal the [[Tail]] [[sticker]] when attempting to use it. The [[Battle Spin]] can take away one of Mario's attacks. There are two Shy Guys bothering the [[Traveling Toad]] at World 4-6 and drop a [[Secret Door]] sticker when defeated.

Besides regular Shy Guys, there are also [[Sombrero Guy]]s, along with one [[Accordion Guy]] and [[Maraca Guy]] each. There are also Shy Guys holding paper clips, known as [[Clip Guy]]s, and [[Paint Guy]]s, who hold a bucket of paint. Both of these enemies can assist a Shy Guy in battle. [[Spear Guy]]s and [[Snifit]]s also appear in the game.

{{quote|I can totally relate to the stage-fright thing. They don't call me Shy Guy for nothing.|A Shy Guy at [[the Emerald Circus]]|''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''}}
Shy Guys are the most common enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', now appearing in all the colors from the first ''Paper Mario''. In battle, Shy Guys attack by running up to Mario and slapping him. While Mario is choosing Battle Cards during his turn, they may steal a card from him, and Mario gets the card back at the end of the battle if he defeats the Shy Guy. They appear throughout the game, and are first seen at [[Port Prisma]]. The paper versions of the Yellow, Pink, Blue, and Green Shy Guys now match the modern look of their regular counterparts. In addition, the [[Black Shy Guy]] returns as an enemy for the first time since ''Paper Mario'', now sporting the same modern design as the regular ones.

At [[Ruddy Road]], Shy Guys roll up the ground to attack Mario. On the [[Sunset Express]], one train car contains Shy Guys that peek through windows; if they see Mario, they drag him into their room and crumple him. Many Shy Guys are seen exercising at [[Fort Cobalt]], trained by [[Whistle Snifit]]s. The lumber mill at [[Sunglow Ridge]] is invaded by Shy Guys. When Mario visits [[Tangerino Grill]], the kitchen is under attack by Shy Guys, which he must defeat before he can cook the [[Mamma Mia Pizza]]. At [[Dark Bloo Inn]], a Shy Guy is shown to have stolen "[["It"|it]]," and eight Shy Guys are fought at once in the linen closet. 

Many non-hostile Shy Guys appear throughout the game. On [[Vortex Island]], the [[parallel world]] contains Shy Guys instead of Toads. Shy Guys are frequent customers at the [[Prisma Café]] at [[Fort Cobalt]], and are seen eating [[Magma Burger]]s at the latter. [[The Emerald Circus]]'s audience consists of Shy Guys and the red [[Rescue Squad]]. While regular Shy Guys appear at [[the Golden Coliseum]] in the Battle Royal, Mario can also talk to a fighting team called the Shai Guyz. A red Shy Guy is the second-round opponent in [[Roshambo Temple#Roshambo Temple #1|Roshambo Temple #1]].

In the Sunset Express, a [[Red Shy Guy (Paper Mario: Color Splash character)|Red Shy Guy]] talks to Mario and tells him about his life. He wonders if he will have to fight Mario later, and thanks him for listening. Later, at [[Mossrock Theater]], this same Shy Guy is fought on a trapeze. While sad about being defeated, he is glad he got to see Mario again.

New variants of Shy Guy are introduced in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''. [[Slurp Guy]]s, which are Shy Guys with straws, are responsible for draining the colors of [[Prism Island]]. [[Shy Guy 4-Stack]]s and [[Shy Guy 5-Stack]]s are Shy Guys stacked together. The Emerald Circus features [[Animal Trainer Shy Guy]]s, [[Unicycle Shy Guys]], and [[Trampoline Shy Guys]]. [[Coal Guy]]s are found at [[Toad Trainworks]] and Sunset Express. [[Gold Shy Guy]]s and [[Silver Shy Guy]]s are Shy Guys in coats of metal that must be removed before revealing the Shy Guy underneath. [[Laundry Guy]] appears on Vortex Island, while [[Pry Guy]] is found at [[Cherry Lake]]. [[Roller Guy]]s are Shy Guys that are found inside rings, who appear at [[Mossrock Theater]]. [[Shield Guy]]s hold shields that protect them from hammer attacks. The [[Shunned Guy]] is a Slurp Guy that is immune to all attacks except fire. [[Soggy Guy]]s are wet Shy Guys found at Cherry Lake and Violet Passage, while [[Spike Guy]]s wear spike helmets that protect them from jumps similar to [[Spiked Goombas]] from the first three games.

Shy Guys appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' as members of the [[Folded Soldiers]] and as ordinary paper Shy Guys. Although [[Snifit]]s appear in different colors in ''The Origami King'', only red Shy Guys appear for the majority of the game. A Shy Guy riding the Koopa Clown Car rescues Mario, Bowser and [[Olivia]] from Peach's Castle while it is being covered with [[streamer]]s. In Bowser's Castle, Mario is able to speak with this same Shy Guy, where he complains about being banned from flying the Koopa Clown Car. [[King Olly]] is able to fold himself into a yellow Shy Guy. [[Paper Macho Shy Guy]]s also appear as mini-bosses. [[Emcee Shy Guy]] appears and hosts the game show ''[[Shy Guys Finish Last]]''.

[[File:MKT Artwork ShyGuyGold.png|thumb|90px|Shy Guy (Gold)]]
Shy Guy reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a Normal driver whose [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] is the [[Double Bob-ombs]]. All of Shy Guy's alternate colors from ''Mario Kart 8'' return as Super drivers, with [[Black Shy Guy|Black]], Pink, Green, Light-blue, Blue, White, Orange, and Yellow Shy Guy respectively debuting in the [[Winter Tour (2019)|2019 Winter Tour]], [[Valentine's Tour]], [[Ninja Tour (2021)|2021 Ninja Tour]], [[Sky Tour]], [[Peach vs. Bowser Tour (November–December 2022)|November—December 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour]], [[Doctor Tour (2023)|2023 Doctor Tour]], [[Ninja Tour (2023)|2023 Ninja Tour]], and [[Night Tour]], with the [[Bob-omb Cannon]], [[Heart (item)|Heart]], [[Triple Green Shells]], [[Ice Flower]], [[Dash Ring]], [[Triple Mushrooms]], [[Double Bob-ombs]], and [[Triple Bananas]] as their respective special skills.

The game also introduces a number of High-End variants of Shy Guy with various special skills. Shy Guy in a chef outfit, known as '''Shy Guy (Pastry Chef)''', debuted in the [[Paris Tour (2019)|2019 Paris Tour]] as the second spotlight driver; his special skill is the [[Mushroom Cannon]]. He returned as a spotlight driver during the [[Valentine's Tour]] (also based in [[Paris]]), [[Cooking Tour]], [[1st Anniversary Tour]], and [[Peach vs. Daisy Tour]], making him one of two tour-themed drivers to appear in the spotlight four times, with the other being [[Princess Peach|Peach (Vacation)]]. A gold-coated Shy Guy named '''Shy Guy (Gold)''' was introduced in the [[1st Anniversary Tour]], with the [[Giga Bob-omb]] as his special skill, making him one of two gold drivers to not have the [[Coin Box]] as their special skill, the other being [[Dry Bowser|Dry Bowser (Gold)]]. Later, the [[Ninja Tour (2021)|2021 Ninja Tour]] marked the debut of a blue, ninja-clad Shy Guy called '''Shy Guy (Ninja)''' or '''Ninja Shy Guy'''<ref>{{cite|url=apps.apple.com/ca/story/id1555639062|title=Get Set for the Ninja Tour|publisher=apple.com|language=en-ca|accessdate=September 28, 2021|archive=web.archive.org/web/20210926001229/https://apps.apple.com/ca/story/id1555639062}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=apps.apple.com/au/story/id1555639062|title=Get set for the Ninja Tour|publisher=apple.com|language=en-au|accessdate=September 28, 2021|archive=web.archive.org/web/20210926001645/https://apps.apple.com/au/story/id1555639062}}</ref> as the tour's spotlight driver, whose special skill is the [[Boomerang Flower]]. A pink variant of Shy Guy (Ninja) known as '''Pink Shy Guy (Ninja)''', who has the [[Giant Banana]] as its special skill, debuted in the [[Samurai Tour]]. Two differently-colored variants in explorer outfits, '''Light-blue Shy Guy (Explorer)''' and '''Yellow Shy Guy (Explorer)''', with the [[Lucky Seven]] and [[Hammer]] special skills respectively, debuted in the [[Exploration Tour (2023)|2023 Exploration Tour]].

Shy Guy is one of the few characters in the game not to receive any new favorite tracks beyond his debut, with his only default favorite track being {{classic link|3DS|Shy Guy Bazaar}}. He shares this distinction with [[Baby Peach]], [[Baby Rosalina]], [[Dry Bones]], [[Morton]] and [[Wendy]].

A {{file link|MKT Report 2021 multiplayer grade S drivers.jpg|report}} published on the game's official social media accounts revealed that Pink Shy Guy was the most used driver in multiplayer races throughout 2021 by players with a multiplayer grade of S or higher.

In various instances, Shy Guys also act as course obstacles, vulnerable to most attacks. GBA Sunset Wilds features [[Exploring Shy Guy]]s, taking the place of Shy Guy Tents from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' and having the same design as the playable explorer variants. [[Snowboarding Shy Guy]]s return in the game's rendition of DK Summit, acting the same as in ''Mario Kart Wii''. Black, white, and orange ninja Shy Guys similar to the playable Shy Guy variant, also designated Shy Guys (Ninja), impede drivers in [[Ninja Hideaway]]: some assume a guarding stance on the track while periodically vanishing and reappearing, leaving [[Banana]] peels in their place when gone; others are suspended in the air by kites in [[Glider|gliding]] sections. [[Skating Shy Guy]]s that twirl on ice appear in [[Vancouver Velocity 2]]'s R and T variants. Like in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', Shy Guys drive the cars in Wii Coconut Mall.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
While normal Shy Guys are absent in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', variations of them, such as [[Chuck Guy]]s and their [[Elite Chuck Guy|Elite]] counterparts, and further variations of Snifits, make an appearance. A camo-robed one appears during one of the attacks of [[Gunner Guy]], one of the new Snifit variations.

Regular Shy Guys do appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where they appear as enemies and allies in the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' mode. They are first encountered in the level [[Turnip Tantrum]]. A Shy Guy known as [[Captain Shy Guy (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Shy Guy]] also appears as an unlockable captain in the story. Shy Guys are Ranged troopers, and attack by throwing [[turnip]]s at enemies. Their special attack is Throw the Fight, which allows them to throw a large turnip at an enemy. They are strong against [[Lakitu]]s and [[Lakipea]]s. Additionally, the camo-clad ones from the original now wear normal red robes.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:Boomguynocannon.png|thumb|left|upright=0.85|A Boom Guy panics due to having no Bill Blaster]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', a type of Shy Guy called [[Boom Guy]]s appear in [[Baby Bowser's Castle]]. They are Shy Guys with [[Bill Blaster]]s on their heads. Later in the game, [[Elite Boom Guy]]s, stronger versions of Boom Guys, appear in the [[Gritzy Caves]]. [[Fly Guy]]s also appear on [[Star Hill]] and [[Star Shrine]]. A ghostly version of Shy Guy named [[Boo Guy]] also appears in the game, near [[Vim Factory]]; and a stronger, revamped version named [[Ghoul Guy]] appears in [[Shroob Castle]].

{{quote|Shy Guy corps reporting. They got us. They got us all. We're such bad soldiers!|Shy Guy|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story}}
[[File:Bowserrescue.png|thumb|The Shy Guy squad, upon being rescued]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', Shy Guys appear in the game, but regular red ones are not enemies to battle. A couple of Shy Guys can be found in [[Bowser Castle#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|Bowser Castle]]. A notable Shy Guy, [[Sergeant Guy]], makes his debut in this game. In [[Bowser Path]], [[Dimble Wood]], and [[Peach's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|Peach's Castle]], Shy Guy variants can also be found. [[Fawful Guy]]s can be fought by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. [[Leaf Guy]]s can be found in the [[Wiggler]] boss battle when Wiggler waters the saplings and in the air they can be inhaled by Bowser too. [[Dark Fawful Guy]]s are only found when Bowser battles enemies, and like Leaf Guys they can be [[Vacuum Block|inhaled]] for Mario and Luigi to fight. They are also a [[Special Attack (Bowser)|special attack]] for Bowser called [[Shy Guy Squad]], where he withdraws into his shell which the Shy Guys push into a rope they use as a slingshot, which is controlled by sliding to the left with the stylus. Pink, Yellow, and Cyan Shy Guys reappear in the remake as enemies and allies. Yellow Shy Guys are strong against Goombas and their variants, and pink ones are strong against Koopa Troopas. Four Shy Guys are also the first brainwashed minions [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]] encounter.
{{br}}

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
[[File:Shy guy airtub.png|left|frame|Shy Guys piloting the Shy Guy Airtub.]]
Shy Guys reappear as an enemy in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' while Mario and Luigi are searching for the [[Ultibed]] parts. Shy Guys can only be fought after the [[Shy Guy Airtub]] they were inhabiting has been destroyed, and always appear in a group of three when battled at that point. They are never found on the field. In battle, they attack by bouncing to either side of Mario or Luigi, and running at them simultaneously, similar to how [[Fawflant]]s from the previous game attack. This can be dodged by jumping over or on to the Shy Guys, but they can give a bro the trip status. Cyan Shy Guys known as [[Walker Guy]]s appear in [[Neo Bowser Castle]]. These types of Shy Guys hold chains against [[Chain Chomp]]s.

Shy Guys assist the [[Elite Trio]] in one of their attacks, loading the [[Sergeant Guy Cannon]] with a [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]] for a later turn. The same occurs for the [[Elite Trio X]] fight later in the game, with the [[Sergeant Guy Cannon X]]. Shy Guys also contribute to the [[Bowser Jr.]] boss fight, in two of his attacks. One has two Shy Guys carry a flaming rope to jump over, the other has nine Shy Guys carry gifts for both the Bros. and Bowser Jr.

A stronger variation of Shy Guys called [[Shy Guy R|Shy Guys R]] appear in Neo Bowser Castle on [[Shy Guy Airtub R|Shy Guy Airtubs R]] and [[Dreamy Shy Guy]]s appear during the final battle with [[Dreamy Bowser]], both on the field and on the [[Shy Guy Airtub DX]].
{{br}}

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
[[File:MLPJ Shy Guy Battle.png|thumb|200px|A Shy Guy holding both a Chain Chomp and a Paper Chomp]]
Shy Guys appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' in both their normal and [[Paper Shy Guy|paper]] versions in [[Mount Brrr]], on the path to Neo Bowser Castle. One of their attacks involves tossing a rock or their paper counterpart at a Mario Bro. that results in one of them appearing on the battlefield if not hammered back. Occasionally, they instead toss a mushroom that the Mario Brothers can use to restore 50 HP. If there are two, they will both line up with the regular Mario Bros. and run at them, whichever one trips will roll into their target and strike first, and both Shy Guys must be hammered. A regular Shy Guy can also pair with a Paper Shy Guy for this attack, although the regular version will always strike first. In [[Neo Bowser Castle]], they can wield [[Paper Chomp]]s as well as regular Chain Chomps. If the Shy Guy is defeated, both Chain Chomps will flee. Two Shy Guys are fought alongside two Paper Shy Guys as one of Bowser's last lines of defense, and these ones act as they did in Mount Brrr.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
Shy Guys appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'' as enemies in Bowser's Castle. Shy Guys pull out a hammer for one attack which the Bros. must counter with their hammers. If a Bro. readies his hammer, the Shy Guy steps back and soon throws its hammer; leaving the hammer down instead lets them approach. If they walk towards the Bros., they whack them with the hammer. Shy Guys also grab presents which contain either coins or a Bob-omb, and slowly walk towards the Bros. while pushing the presents after the presents' contents are shown. If the Bros. avoid jumping on a present containing a Bob-omb, the Bob-omb explodes and damages the Shy Guy that was pushing it. Shy Guys may initiate a jumping challenge, where a Bro. must jump when the Shy Guy holds a flag with a Bros.' emblem,. If the Shy Guy holds only a pole, neither Bro. must jump. If one command is missed, a bomb falls on and damages the Bro. who missed the command, whereas if the Bros. are successful enough times, a bomb falls on and damages the Shy Guy. This attack in particular is based on the minigame [[Shy Guy Says]] from the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'']] series.

[[Glohm]] infected Shy Guys appear on the path to the part of Bowser's Airship.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===

They act similarly to Shy Guys from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', simply patrolling left to right on a platform. Touching them from the sides is harmful for both [[Mario]] and the [[Mini]] toys. They are among the weakest enemies in the series and can be defeated with any form of attack available in a game, of which the most commonly seen are [[hammer]]s. They tend to move faster when hammers are in use, similar to [[Bowbow]]s from the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'']]. As they are basic enemies, Shy Guys often appear in early levels and only occasionally return in later levels.
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''====
[[File:Cutscene ShyGuyNews.png|thumb|A Shy Guy on Donkey Kong's television]]
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], Mario can ride them or pick and throw them at other enemies to defeat them (as in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''). They can also be defeated by throwing another enemy or an object, such as a [[Trash Can|Garbage Can]] or [[key]], at them. Shy Guys debut in the [[Level 1-1 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|first level]] of the game, where they patrol areas in front of Garbage Cans which can be used to attack them, and continue to appear occasionally in subsequent levels. Exclusively in the [[Spooky House]] boss stage, [[Level 5-DK|Level 4-DK]], Shy Guys are transformed into [[Polterguy]]s and vice versa by [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Color Switch|switch]]es. Remarkably, throughout the entirety of [[Level x-7]], a Shy Guy needs to be used to cross beds of [[Spike Trap|spike]]s.

Certain types of Shy Guys wield weapons and have different colors and behavior from the standard red Shy Guys; these include [[Fire Shy Guy]]s, [[Spear Guy]]s, and [[Wrench Shy Guy]]s.

One normal Shy Guy news reporter is seen briefly on [[Donkey Kong]]'s television in the game's introduction.

====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''====
[[File:MiniShyGuy.png|thumb|75px|A Shy Guy, as seen in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'']]
Shy Guys return in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', where they now pause for an extended period of time after reaching a wall and turning around. Minis can ride Shy Guys to safely cross certain hazards, although touching the sides of a Shy Guy (or any other enemy) will instead instantly break a Mini.

====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!''====
Regular Shy Guys do not appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]''; they are replaced by [[Spear Guy]]s. Despite this, they are simply referred to as Shy Guys in the American English version.

====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''====
Spear-less Shy Guys return ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', shortening their vertical reach. Despite the change, they remain harmful to touch from above, unlike in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''. Shy Guys appear early in the game, starting with [[Area 1-5]] where the player learns that it is possible to destroy enemies using hammers. In this game, they can also be defeated by shooting into one from a [[Cannon]] or sliding into one from a slope. Later in the game, in [[Super Skywheel]], Shy Guys can fill '''Shy Guy Blocks''', becoming solid platforms.<ref name=Mayhem/>
{{br|left}}

====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars''====
Shy Guys in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'' act and look the same as in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''. They are also introduced in a similar stance in [[Level 1-3 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars)|Level 1-3]], where the player can pick up a pair of hammers and destroy the Shy Guy present in the level.

A portrait of what looks like a normal Shy Guy can be seen in the background of [[Clattering Cabin]]-themed levels (as shown, for instance, {{file link|MvsDKTSofficial99.jpg|here}}).

====''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge''====
In ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', Shy Guys once again appear as enemies. In addition to being vulnerable to hammers or a slope slide, Shy Guys can be defeated by [[Eat Enemies|eating]] them with [[Mini Yoshi]], or less commonly by being hit with [[Mini Bowser]]'s [[Bowser Bomb (move)|Bowser Bomb]].

Shy Guys are enemies found at [[Shifting Sands Stage]] in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', both inside and outside of the pyramid, hiding behind objects such as [[Cactus|catci]]. There are also [[Skating Shy Guy|Shy Guys on Skates]], found at [[Frosty Frontier Stage]].

===''Yakuman DS''===

}}
Shy Guys of all different colors are 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 ''Mario Super Sluggers'', all the Shy Guys have their fielding skills boosted a few levels, with the Black Shy Guy showing the best fielding abilities. Their batting ranges from average to low, their pitching is weak and their running is generally slow.

Regarding chemistry, in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', Shy Guys show good chemistry with [[Birdo]] and [[Monty Mole]], while showing bad chemistry with [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', the Shy Guys maintain their good chemistry with Birdo and Monty Mole, but they also display good chemistry with [[Boo]]. Their bad chemistry is also expanded to include their relationships with [[Yoshi]] and the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi species]], as well as Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, [[Baby Peach]], [[Baby Daisy]], and [[Baby DK]].

===''Mario Strikers'' series===
====''Mario Strikers Charged''====
[[File:ShyGuy MSC.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|A Shy Guy in ''Mario Strikers Charged'']]
Shy Guys are balanced sidekicks in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' with the skillshot [[Bullet Bill Blast]]. Shy Guy recovers quicker than other teammates, meaning he can quickly get to the ball and score. Upon scoring, Shy Guy's mask sometimes falls off as he trips, and is shown to make happy and mad faces in other scenes.

====''Mario Strikers: Battle League''====
Shy Guys are audience members in ''[[Mario Strikers: Battle League]]'', though the version 1.1.0 update adds a playable character of the All-Rounder type, giving it balanced statistics, although Shy Guy's strength, shooting, and passing are slightly higher than its speed and technique.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=July 19, 2022|url=youtu.be/29qaA3suXBk|title=Mario Strikers: Battle League - 1st Free Update - Nintendo Switch|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 19, 2022|language=en}}</ref> Multiple Shy Guys can be placed on the player's team, and its [[Hyper Strike]] is Propeller Dive.

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
In the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]], Shy Guys appear in several of the events. They first act as referees for ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters in a few events in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', including [[10m Platform]], [[Trampoline (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Nintendo DS)|Trampoline]] and [[Vault (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Nintendo DS)|Vault]]. Shy Guys appear in the audience in several of the events in both the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Wii version]] and the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Nintendo DS version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', and they appear in colors such as red, pink, and light blue. Furthermore, the Nintendo DS version also includes Shy Guys as goalies in the [[Ice Hockey (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for Nintendo DS)|Ice Hockey]] and [[Fever Hockey]] events. In the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', Shy Guys are both spectators and referees. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|version]], red Shy Guys appear defending the goal in [[Hockey (event)|Hockey]], and one appears to kick the balls to the player in [[Football (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS)|Football]]. Teams of four yellow, blue, and green Shy Guys appear as opponents for the player in all [[Event]]s that require the player to use a full team of four characters, though the Shy Guys only physically appear for the [[4x100m Relay (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS)|4x100m Relay]]. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', Shy Guys appear as goalies in [[Ice Hockey (Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games)|Ice Hockey]] and [[Snow Day Street Hockey]], either red or blue in color, depending on the team.

[[File:M&S 2012 Shy Guy.png|thumb|200px|A Shy Guy in London Party mode]]
Shy Guys have a role in [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)#Adventure Tours story|Adventure Tours]], where they host some of the missions or are regular NPCs that can be talked to. Here, it seems that Yellow Shy Guys tend to lie, except for one particular one residing in [[Cubyrinth]].

In the Wii version of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'', Shy Guys are among the characters on the map in London Party, where they can be talked to initiate a minigame.

In the Story Mode in the Nintendo 3DS version of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'', Shy Guys make some appearances. A few Shy Guys are first seen outside [[Big Ben]] in the opening, and three blue Shy Guys form the rest of [[Eggman Nega]]'s team when the Heroes face him in the 4x100m Relay. A pair of red and yellow Shy Guys later appear in [[Waluigi's Ambition]] to ask [[Waluigi]] to borrow his binoculars, who he scares off, with an identically colored-pair later being scared off by the reappearance of the [[Phantasmal Fog]]. All four colors of Shy Guy appear at the opening ceremony, as well as in [[Junior Hits England]], where a pair of green and blue ones first encourage Bowser Jr. to challenge Yoshi, and are later joined by red and yellow ones who direct Bowser Jr. to London. Goomba also briefly mentions Shy Guy in [[Mario's Defeat?!]]. There are obtainable [[List of badges in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|badges]] of the four colors of Shy Guy that can be won from the Badge Machine.

[[File:M&S 2020 Shy Guy Battle.png|thumb|left|200px|A swarm of Shy Guys in Tokyo preparing to fight Tails in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020'']]
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', multicolored Shy Guys appear as spectators and as crown members in Tokyo, as seen in Story Mode. Here, Shy Guys first appear in Chapter 9, in the crowd along with many [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s in the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. They serve as a distraction when the player is supposed to be looking for several Toads holding different objects. Red, pink and light blue Shy Guys also appear in the Treeside Rumble minigame in Chapter 13. [[Tails]] has to defeat a horde of them which [[Larry|Larry Koopa]] sends at him and Luigi when they travel to TOKYO SKYTREE. The Shy Guys fight Tails by throwing [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]]s and occasionally firecrackers at him. Hitting a firecracker will defeat any Shy Guys that get caught in the explosion.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

[[File:Shy Guy 3DS.jpg|thumb|left|A Shy Guy as an enemy in the Smash Run mode of ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'']]
Shy Guys physically appear in every [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onward. They are part of the [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Mario Circuit]] stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', racing in [[kart]]s either from the top or bottom lane. {{iw|smashwiki|Fighters}} can hit Shy Guys to have them spin out. Shy Guys are similarly features in the [[Rainbow Road (stage)|Rainbow Road]] stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and [[Mario Circuit (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)|Mario Circuit]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', based on their appearances in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', respectively. Furthermore, ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' features four colors of Shy Guys as enemies in {{iw|smashwiki|Smash Run}}, each attacking by charging at the player to hit them and having their own attributes: red has a higher attack; green runs faster; light blue has higher defense; and yellow has higher jumps.

Shy Guys also appear in the form of collectible items. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', there is both a collectible [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of a Shy Guy. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', there is a trophy of Shy Guy driving his [[Standard Kart]], and it incorrectly cites ''Mario Kart 7'' as Shy Guy's first playable appearance in the series, when it was actually ''Mario Kart DS''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Shy Guy appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] that, when equipped, takes up two slots and slightly increases the power of a character's punches and {{iw|smashwiki|Arm|elbow}} strikes. In {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light}}, the {{iw|smashwiki|spirit}} is on the {{iw|smashwiki|Light Realm}} map. The spirit battle takes place in the {{iw|smashwiki|Battlefield form}} of the [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] stage, with Mii Brawler, Mii Swordfighter, and Mii Gunner, wearing Shy Guy masks, as opponents.

"Shy Guy" is erroneously the name used for [[Fly Guy]]s in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
Shy Guys are goalkeepers during [[Mario Sports Mix#Hockey|Hockey]] in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. They can only be commanded to lunge by pressing {{button|wii|Z}}. Shy Guys also throw either [[Banana Peel]]s or [[coin]]s in the [[Western Junction]] court, and the crowd of [[Wario Factory (Mario Sports Mix)|Wario Factory]] features Shy Guys in a variety of colors.

===''NES Remix'' series===
Shy Guys are featured in challenges based around ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' in ''[[NES Remix 2]]'' and ''[[Ultimate NES Remix]]'', where the goal is to either defeating or avoid them.

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
[[File:CTTT Cyan Shy Guy.png|thumb|x200px|A Light-blue Shy Guy in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'']]
Shy Guys are enemies in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|its ports]]. There is the red type, which moves along paths, and the light-blue stationary type, which change direction while moving. They go after [[Captain Toad]] or [[Toadette]] upon noticing either player character, but stop after a while. There is a discrepancy with the look of a Shy Guy's robe appearing to be made of wool in-game, but not in artworks.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
Shy Guys are assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. In stage mode, their skill has a chance of granting an easier skill meter increase, in which it reduces a doctor's skill gauge by 10 points prior to version 2.2.0 or by 10% of the doctor's maximum skill gauge since that version. If the skill gauge is reduced to a negative value this way, the doctor's skill gauge will not be able to fill. In versus mode, their effect grants doctors an extra chance to defend against an opponent's attacks. A Shy Guy was featured as a patient during season 9 of Clinic Events. A Shy Guy assistant is rewarded after clearing the first are in [[World 7 (Dr. Mario World)|World 7]].

Yellow Shy Guys also appear as assistants. In stage mode, their effect has a chance of eliminating the remaining yellow viruses when there are only two of them left regardless of how many hits they take to eliminate, but it only activates once throughout the stage, meaning that it will not activate again in a scrolling stage or Daily Booster after the effect successfully activated once despite the condition being met again. In versus mode, their effect grants a chance in defending against one-line attacks, which does not stack with the doctor's innate defense. They are also seen at World 17 after an area is cleared of viruses. A Yellow Shy Guy assistant is rewarded after clearing the first area in [[World 17 (Dr. Mario World)|World 17]].

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
[[File:Shy Guys capture Luigi - TSMBM.png|thumb|left|Several Shy Guys in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'']]
Shy Guys appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' where they are a part of [[Bowser]]'s army. Two Shy Guys and a Snifit are seen taking [[Luigi]] to Bowser in [[Bowser's Castle]].

===Other appearances===
====''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''====
{{main-wiki|ZeldaWiki|Shy Guy|Zelda Wiki}}
[[File:TLOZ LA remake Shy Guy.jpg|thumb|A Shy Guy in the remake]]
Shy Guys are enemies in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. The original guide refers to them as '''Mask-Mimics'''.<ref>{{cite|title=''The Legend of Zelda – Link's Awakening'' Player's Guide|page=98|date=1993|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref> Unlike other games, Shy Guys mimic [[Link]]'s movements, albeit in reverse. Link cannot attack them from the front with his {{iw|zeldawiki|Sword}}, due to the protective mask worn by Shy Guys, but only from using a {{iw|zeldawiki|Spin Attack}} behind the Shy Guy. ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX}}'' and the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake both depict Shy Guys red. A very similar enemy known as {{iw|zeldawiki|Arm-Mimic}}, known as [https://triforcewiki.com/wiki/User:LTL/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Link%27s_Awakening_(2019)_enemy_glossary Hollow Mimic] in the Nintendo Switch remake, is essentially a stronger version of them. There is an obtainable figure of Shy Guy at the {{iw|zeldawiki|Trendy Game}} in the remake that can be placed in the {{iw|zeldawiki|Quadruple}}s' house. When acquiring the figure, the text reads, "''You got a Shy Guy figure! Just don't ask what's underneath the mask.''"

====''Sonic Lost World''====
[[File:SLW Sonic Yoshis Island Zone.jpg|left|thumb|200px|A Shy Guy in ''Sonic Lost World'']]

==General information==
===Allegiance===
Shy Guys are enemies in some of the platforming and role-playing games, typically as part of [[Bowser's Minions]], but they first served as part of the [[8-bits]], led by [[Wart]], in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Shy Guys have also worked for other villains, such as [[Smithy]]. Friendly Shy Guys typically appear in spinoff media, like the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], or notably the [[White Shy Guy]]s in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''.

===Physical appearance===
{{multiframe

}}
Shy Guys are short creatures that wear masks with three holes, each intended to represent eyes and a mouth, as well as robes. Shy Guys are normally red, but they also exist in [[#Color variations|other colors]]. A Shy Guy's mask rarely falls off, and it is never shown what is behind it. When it does fall, characters are shown to be alarmed when witnessing what is behind the mask, like Luigi in ''Mario Power Tennis'', as well as a Goomba and Koopa Troopa in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''. Shy Guys are suggested to be faceless in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', as one in the [[The Golden Coliseum|Golden Coliseum]] says that [[Mario]] would make a terrible Shy Guy for having one. Other times, Shy Guys' masks make facial movements. The Shy Guys of ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' have spinning eye holes while confused, and they are able to blush. They have closed eye holes while asleep in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' also has Shy Guys that can change the expressions on their masks.

Some early ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' artwork as well as ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' depicted Shy Guys as wearing mask-like badges depicting an angry face, similar to that of [[Phanto]]. 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-like; however, the appearance of Shy Guys was later redesigned to their in-game sprite appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

Early episodes of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' depict Shy Guys with only two holes, representing their eyes, and with a scowling look. Later episodes add a third hole in Shy Guys' masks, representing their mouth.

Shy Guys are shown to have stick-like legs under their robes in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'',<ref>{{file link|Shy Guy Level CaptainToadTreasureTracker.png|Screenshot}}</ref> and their legs are also shown when winning first place in ''Mario Kart 8'' or during certain [[trick]]s. A scene from the rave in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'' shows a Shy Guy (or a Snifit) attempting to catch a running [[Buzzy Beetle]] by diving into it, flashing briefly a pink skin leg (or legware) under the robe.

In ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'', a Shy Guy in [[Spring of Jungle Mist]] implies that Shy Guys have very short necks that make it difficult to look up. 

Although Shy Guys generally do not wear much else besides their masks and robes, there are a few instances where they wore additional items. An example of this is in ''Mario Kart Tour'', where a Shy Guy wears a pastry chef hat and a red neckerchief, carrying a whisk.

===Color variations===
Much like [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, and [[Birdo]]s, Shy Guys come in many different colors. The following is a list of all known Shy Guys and the first appearance of said Shy Guy.
