Spear Guys are enemies ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and its remake. They are encountered within several levels, mainly jungle levels. They can only be defeated by being hit with an egg or eaten with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s tongue from behind because their shields will block attacks from the front. Spear Guys sometimes have long spears that can make an obstacle for Yoshi to jump over or avoid, as touching any part of the spear can cause Baby Mario to fall off of him and get kidnapped.
Spear Guys made their debut in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' as enemies of several levels, mainly jungle levels. They could only be defeated by being hit with an egg or eaten with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s tongue from behind because their shields will block attacks from the front. Spear Guys sometimes have long spears that can make an obstacle for Yoshi to jump over or avoid, as touching any part of the spear can cause Baby Mario to fall off of him and get kidnapped. Other times, Spear Guys stand somewhere off the side of the level where Yoshi travels and quickly poke their spear at him, hurting the dinosaur.


A variant called [[Dancing Spear Guy]] also appears alongside the regular Spear Guys, and are known for their dancing in a fixed place. They differ by their yellow robes, lack of feathers on their spear and lack of shield, though still hold onto their spear while dancing.

Without [[Spike Shield]], Mario cannot [[Jump]] on these Spear Guys when they hold their spear vertically, or use his [[Hammer]] while their spear faces him. They sometimes switch the position of their spear, indicating which attack they will do next and forcing Mario to change his battle strategy.

They may either poke Mario with their spears, or throw them at him. After throwing them, they become normal [[Shy Guy]]s and continue the remainder of the battle as a Shy Guy would. Spear Guys may also dance to get another Spear Guy in the battle.

Spear Guys make a major appearance in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', alongside [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Clip Guy]]s, [[Sombrero Guy]]s, and [[Snifit]]s. They look similar to their appearance from the original ''Paper Mario'', but their shoes are seen a little more, while their spears are sleeker in design. Here, they show up in [[World 5 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 5]], as common enemies. When the battle starts, a Spear Guy will flip his spear and either hold it vertically or horizontally. If held vertically, Mario cannot perform jumps on the Spear Guy, and if held horizontally, Mario cannot use his Hammer on the enemy. The attacks of Spear Guys are determined by the position in which they hold their spear. If held vertically, the Spear Guy will chuck their spear at Mario. If the spear is held horizontally, the Spear Guy will go in front of Mario and stab him with the weapon. The Spear Guys are still vulnerable to projectiles. Unlike in ''Paper Mario'', if a Spear Guy throws his spear at Mario, it will not become a regular Shy Guy. Spear Guys can assist [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]s., and [[Boomerang Bro]]s.

During Shy Guy Jungle, three Spear Guys take a part of the bridge leading to the [[Comet Piece]] and run away. Mario must defeat these Spear Guys in order to progress. During [[Jungle Rapids]], Spear Guys chuck spears at Mario while he rides the raft. They also swing on vines and throw barrels at Mario. At the end of the level, several Spear Guys are seen performing tribal dances around pieces of the [[Sticker Comet]]. Two Spear Guys are the final enemies seen harassing the [[Traveling Toad]], with five being fought in the ensuing battle.

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', the [[Spear Thicket]] contains a Spear Guy warrior that wants to challenge anyone with a mustache to a duel. When first approached in the [[Mustached Hero!]] quest, he comments on whether or not the current character has a mustache. If they do not (either [[Princess Peach]] or [[Yoshi]]), he says that he wants a fight, but that their lack of a mustache makes them an unworthy opponent. If they do (either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]), he challenges them to a duel, saying in broken English that if he wins, he will be just as brave. He also says that if they win the duel, they can keep the minigame ([[Tank-Down]]). After winning the duel, he is impressed by their skill and sticks to his promise, giving them the game. He then compliments them before asking them to come back for a rematch. The ending credits state that, to this day, Spear Guy lurks in the thicket, waiting for someone else with a mustache to pass by.
 
Several Spear Guys also dance alongside the four playable characters in the [[Credits]].

The [[Spear Guy Orb]] is an item appearing in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' that makes a Spear Guy appear that forces anyone landing on a particular space to grant the item-user a certain amount of coins. Spear Guy does this by poking the player several times with his spear. In addition, several Spear Guys appear in the game [[Mario Party 7#Mini-Game Cruise|King of the River]].

Spear Guy makes short appearances in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. Here, for his [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|offensive]] and [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|defensive]] power shots, [[Shy Guy]] will momentarily transform into Spear Guy and use his spear to hit the ball. This was similarly inspired for [[Fly Guy]]'s [[Special Shot (Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and Mario Sports Mix)|Special Shot]] in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', [[Thunder Shot]], but he merely wields a spear that turns the basketball yellow with electricity.

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and its [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], Spear Guys are pink and are usually sleeping on a platform. Whenever [[Mario]] jumps on the same platform, the Spear Guy awakens and quickly runs toward Mario. However, if a [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]] jumps onto the platform, the Spear Guy will not be awoken. Whenever a Spear Guy reaches the end of the platform they are on, they will sit down and fall back asleep. Like most of their main appearances, Spear Guys constantly hold spears pointing upward whether they are asleep or awake; therefore, attempting to jump on top of the enemy will cause Mario to lose a [[extra life|life]].

They patrol their area and hold their spears upright, extending their vertical reach slightly and allowing their range to pass through semisolid [[girder]] platforms.

Spear Guys can be defeated with [[hammer]]s.

*''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episodes "[[Jungle Fever]]" and "[[Mario of the Apes]]" featured spear-carrying, grass-skirt-clad Shy Guys similar to Spear Guys. These unnamed Shy Guys, who took residence in the [[Amazon Jungle]], predated actual Spear Guys by many years.
