| | '''Stilt Guys''' are a species of [[Shy Guy]]s that do not like to touch the ground with their feet{{refneeded}} so instead they walk on stilts. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. The 6th level in World 1 is named after them and shows off many different colored versions. If they are jumped on, they lose their stilts, leaving them no choice but to walk with their feet. [[Yoshi]] can lick them but it will only bump them backwards. Bumping them into water will cause them to sink, but if the water is shallow they will slowly emerge on the shore. |

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
| |
| Shy-Guys on Stilts first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and reappear in its enhanced port, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. [[Shy-Guys On Stilts|World 1-6]] is named after them and contains color variations. They walk along the terrain, changing direction when they encounter an edge or wall. If [[Yoshi]] attempts to eat a Shy-Guy on Stilts, he will not be able to grab it into his mouth, instead pushing the enemy a little further. They lose their stilts when they are jumped on, becoming regular Shy-Guys that can be eaten and turned into [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]]. A faster way to defeat a Shy-Guy on Stilts is hitting it with an egg. Bumping Shy-Guys on Stilts into water will cause them to sink, but if the water is shallow they will slowly walk on the bottom of the water's bed and emerge on the shore.
| |
| | |
| ====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
| |
| Shy Guys on Stilts also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', along with [[Big Guy the Stilted]], a giant mechanical version. As with ''Yoshi's Story'', the length of the stilts varies, with the longest taking up both screens of the [[Nintendo DS]]. This game also introduces [[stilts]] as an item that Yoshi can use for himself. If [[Baby Bowser]] spits a fire ball on the stilts without killing the Shy Guy, the Shy Guy will bump down to the middle of the stilts' length.

|
| |
|
| ====''Yoshi's New Island''====
| | Stilt Guys also appeared in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Like in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Yoshi had to land on their heads to make them fall off their stilts, leaving them no choice once again. |
| Stilt Guys are also found in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. Just like in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', when they are on their stilts and Yoshi attempts to stick his tongue on their front sides, they get pushed backwards. They need to be jumped on in order to lose their stilts and become normal [[Shy Guy]]s. Yoshi can also eat them if he sticks his tongue onto their back sides. The pink-robed variants make their first appearance since the original ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', now having the same modern design as the pink Shy Guys. Unlike ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', the Stilt Guys' shoes match the shoes of Shy Guys themselves. | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Yoshi's Story''===
| | The Stilt Guys appear later in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the second part of the [[Shy Guy Army]]. |

| |
| Shy Guys On Stilts also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', with the stilts now coming in three different lengths. Like in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Yoshi has to land on their heads to make them fall off their stilts, leaving them no choice once again. Blue-robed variants make their debut in this game.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Paper Mario''===
| | Stilt Guys appear yet again in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', along with [[Big Guy the Stilted]], a giant, mechanical Stilt Guy boss. This game also introduces [[Stilts]] as an item Yoshi can use for himself. |
| In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', two Stilt Guys are the second wave of [[Shy Guy]]s fought before the boss battle with [[General Guy]], following the [[Shy Squad]] and preceding the [[Shy Guy Tower|Shy Stack]]s. After they are ordered by General Guy to fight against [[Mario]] and his friends, they walk towards the heroes and attempt to bounce on them with their long stilts. Nevertheless, the enemies might miss the characters. If Mario [[jump]]s on top of them or uses [[Quake Hammer]], they fall off their stilts and become normal Shy Guys. The tattle contains a nod to their original name.

| | {{pmenemybox |
| Stilt Guys return in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. In order to keep the game's prime aesthetics, Stilt Guys are now crafted out of wool strings and walk on two long, thin weaving sticks, resembling stilts. The enemies retain the behavior seen in previous games. Yarn Yoshi can lick a Stilt Guy from the front side to push it a small distance, or lick the enemy from behind to grab it into his mouth. He can also throw a [[yarn ball]] at its stilts and wrap it around them, immobilizing the Stilt Guy. Yoshi can lick away the wool string formed around the stilts or wait a certain time before the Stilt Guy becomes able to move again. Tossing a yarn ball directly at the Stilt Guy will result in the enemy getting caged inside a tangled string, dropping its stilts and getting defeated. The Stilt Guys' shoes match the color of Shy Guys for the first time since ''Yoshi's Island DS''.

| | |tattle= Yes, as the name suggest, Stilt Guys are Shy Guys on Stilts. I mean, it seems pretty obvious to me... If you attack 'em by shaking the ground, they'll fall off their stilts and become normal Shy Guys. |

| Stilt Guys appear in the [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] course in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They act as obstacles near the start of the course, walking back and forth as they do in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series, and come in multiple colors, though the regular red-robed Stilt Guys' stilt shoes are now yellow, while the green Stilt Guys' stilt shoes are still green.<ref>{{cite|title=February 8th, 2023 Nintendo Direct|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMdUSVSEp7U|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=February 8, 2023}}</ref>
