These tribal [[Shy Guy]]s wield a spear and shield, and usually wear grass skirts and have painted marks on their masks. Their designs take after stock depictions of sub-Saharan African warriors in Western media, particularly the {{iw|wikipedia|Maasai people}} in eastern Africa and the {{iw|wikipedia|Zulu people}} in southern Africa. Similar enemies include [[Chuck Guy]]s and their [[Elite Chuck Guy|Elite]] counterparts from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Hook Guy]]s from ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. | ||

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 ''[[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, 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 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. | ||

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', 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]]. | |||
