'''''Shy Guys Finish Last''''' is a game show featured in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', located on the path to the [[Spring of Rainbows]]. It is done in a similar manner to ''[[Snifit or Whiffit]]'' from the [[Paper Mario: Sticker Star|past]] [[Paper Mario: Color Splash|two]] [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'']] games, except it is hosted by [[Emcee Shy Guy]] and the audience is consisted of [[Shy Guy]]s. The show is sponsored by [[Shangri-Spa]], as shown in the outro.
'''''Shy Guys Finish Last''''' is a game show located on the path to the [[Spring of Rainbows]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. The name of the show is based on the phrase "[[wiktionary:nice guys finish last|nice guys finish last]]." It is done in a similar manner to ''[[Snifit or Whiffit]]'' from ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', except it is hosted by [[Emcee Shy Guy]] and the audience is consisted of solely [[Shy Guy]]s. The show is sponsored by [[Shangri-Spa]], as shown in the outro.


The first time [[Mario]] comes here, he must take part in the show and reach 100 [[point]]s. In subsequent visits, Mario is given the option to take part or skip the show and go straight to the Spring of Rainbows.

There are four different challenges, each with three different levels of difficulty. Level 1 awards 10 points, Level 2 awards 30 points, and Level 3 awards 50 points. If Mario reaches 100 points, he will be able to play the Sudden Death round. When the quiz show is replayed, Mario can go for a perfect game, where he must pass every challenge, including Sudden Death, to get the Quiz Master trophy.

[[File:PMTOK Sudden Death.png|thumb|250px|Mario in the Sudden Death cannon]]
As the name implies, if Mario loses this round, he gets an instant [[Game Over]]. A song from earlier in the game is played ("[[Happy & Sappy]]," "[[Go with the Flow (song)|Go with the Flow]]," or "[[My Heart's a-Burnin']]"), with one lyric replaced with a "?" Mario is put in a cannon, and a path leading to the correct answer (the missing lyric) must be made for [[Olivia]] to traverse in a similar manner to a boss battle. The path must be made within three moves and one minute. If Mario clears the Sudden Death round for the first time, he is rewarded with Collectible Treasure No. 108: Sudden Death Cannon; for each subsequent time, he is rewarded with 3,000 coins. Failing the round results in Mario getting shot out of the cannon and out of the game show.
