Editing Shy Guys Finish Last

'''''Shy Guys Finish Last''''' is a game show featured in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', located on the path to the [[Spring of Rainbows]]. 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 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 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 points. 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.

An image is displayed on the arena, which is scrambled. Mario must organize the rings to display the image correctly within a limited amount of moves in a limited time.

A 100m footrace will be shown between four different species of the Koopa Troop. The species featured can be a [[Goomba]], a [[Koopa Troopa]], a [[Ninji]], a [[Shy Guy]], or a [[Snifit]]. Their ending results must be memorized.

Several species of the Koopa Troop will be shown and then placed under blue boxes, and then shuffled around. The Ninjis must be memorized and placed within a blue box in the arena after they are shuffled, and only Ninjis must be in the box.

Goombas will be shown entering and leaving a hot spring, and the number of Goombas that are in the spring at the end must be memorized. An equation that either adds or subtracts to that number must be placed in a line formation in a certain column, with a number or a +/- sign filling each space.

[[File:PMTOK Sudden Death.png|thumb|The Sudden Death round (if the song was ''My Heart's a-Burnin''')]]

As the name implies, if Mario loses this round, he gets an instant [[Game Over]]. A song from earlier in the game will be 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 will be put in a cannon, and a path must be made for [[Olivia]] to traverse leading to the correct answer (the missing lyric) 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 3000 coins.
