'''Shy Guy Says''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. It is also part of the Showdown minigame [[Mario's Three-peat]] in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. In ''Mario Party'', ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', and ''Mario Party Superstars'', a [[Shy Guy]] appears on a boat, and the players are in barrels connected by rope to the boat; in ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', a Shy Guy stands on a rainbow and a platform, respectively, with a bow and a quiver, with the players being attached to balloons. The ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' and the ''Mario Party Superstars'' versions of the minigame are based on the ''Mario Party'' version, though the Shy Guy wears only a hat instead of a full pirate outfit. The minigame's name is a reference to the game {{wp|Simon Says}}.

==Gameplay==
Players have to raise the same-colored flag as the Shy Guy. Each of the Shy Guy's flags shows the button used to raise that flag: {{button|n64|A}} in ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'' or {{button|3ds|r}}/{{button|switch|r}} in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', ''Mario Party Superstars'', and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'' for white; and {{button|n64|B}} in ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'' or {{button|3ds|l}}/{{button|switch|L}} in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', ''Mario Party Superstars'', and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'' for red. Players can choose between raising a red or white flag. If one of the players raises the wrong-colored flag or does not raise any flag, the Shy Guy eliminates the player from the minigame by using a sword to cut their rope in ''Mario Party'', ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', and ''Mario Party Superstars'' or by popping their balloon by using a bow in ''Mario Party 2'' and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree''. In ''Mario Party'' and ''Mario Party 2'', the Shy Guy sometimes raises two flags at once, then puts one of them away early, while in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', the Shy Guy sometimes takes out a flag and immediately puts it away. When raising two flags at once, the Shy Guy can also raise a flag after lowering it and lower the other one. Both of these techniques reappear in ''Mario Party Superstars'' and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree''. The last player attached to the boat or their balloon wins the minigame.

In ''Mario Party 2'', a bypassing [[Lakitu]] appears, serving as a timestamp for the minigame. If the player does not raise a flag before the Lakitu has gone offscreen, the Shy Guy pops their balloon.

In ''Mario Party'', ''Mario Party Superstars'', and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', the music speeds up as the minigame progresses, which also occurs in [[Hexagon Heat]] in ''Mario Party 2''.

At least in the ''Mario Party Superstars'' version of the minigame, if at least two players manage to survive long enough, a 30-second timer eventually appears. Once the timer reaches zero, all players still standing are declared winners, though in all games, a draw occurs when there are no players still standing whatsoever.

In the minigame Mario's Three-peat in ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', the Shy Guy is yellow instead of red due to a red Shy Guy being a playable character. Unlike in the ''Mario Party 2'' variant, the Lakitu timer is missing, largely to prevent predicting fakeouts. The Showdown minigame ends after this minigame is completed.

In ''Mario Party'', the minigame can be purchased from the [[Mini-Game House]] for 250 [[coin]]s when it is available for purchase. In ''Mario Party 2'', it can be purchased from [[Woody]] for 50 coins.

==Trivia==
*An alternate texture for the Shy Guy pirate is present in ''Mario Party''{{'}}s files but went [[List of Mario Party pre-release and unused content|unused]].<ref>{{cite|language=en|url=tcrf.net/Mario_Party|title=''Mario Party''|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=August 20, 2018}}</ref>
*In ''Mario Party 2'', [[Luigi]]'s flags have a rendering issue that causes them to look as if they are not fully attached to the poles, an issue also present in [[Yoshi]]'s red flag. Luigi's left wrist is also seen constantly twisting.
*Shy Guy Says, [[Bumper Balls]], and [[Leaf Leap]] are the only minigames to appear in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', ''Mario Party Superstars'', and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree''. Coincidentally, they all appear in [[Mario's Three-peat]] in the latter.
*Shy Guys in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'' have an attack based on this minigame, where they show a flag with either an M or L on it, and the corresponding Mario Bro. has to [[jump]] to avoid having a bomb dropped on him. The Shy Guy can also not show a flag at all, requiring the player to do nothing.
