Editing The Shy Bandit

{{:Paper Mario: Color Splash bestiary|transcludesection=The Shy Bandit|image=[[File:PMCS The Shy Bandit Idle Animated.gif]]}}
The '''Shy Bandit''' is a mini-boss that appears in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. He is a [[Black Shy Guy]] who apparently was banished from his homeland. He wears a red, masquerade-like mask over the usual Shy Guy mask. When he appears, he will throw a marker on the area he intends to suck all the color from, and begin running toward that spot. Usually, he is a sizable distance from that area. [[Mario]] must then race toward the marker. If Mario picks up the marker before the Shy Bandit gets there, he disappears and Mario gets 300 coins. If Mario doesn't get there in time, or intercepts the Shy Bandit before either reach the marker, he will bump into the Shy Bandit instead, initiating a battle; at this point, the Shy Bandit will attack first by blinding Mario with paint or summoning enemies, such as [[Hammer Bro|Hammer Bros]] and [[Buzzy Beetle]]s to attack. If Mario defeats the Shy Bandit, he receives 300 coins and a chance to get his card. If Mario fails to get to the Shy Bandit before he sucks up the paint from a level, the 'colorless spots cleared' marker on the level reverts to the default 0% (with a few exceptions). The Shy Bandit can attack even areas colored back to 100%.

It is possible that the Shy Bandit is a member of the [[Koopa Troop]], as he can summon minions of [[Bowser]] to assist him in battle. This has not yet been confirmed nor denied, however.

*The player can use a previously obtained Shy Bandit card while fighting the Shy Bandit.

*The marker the Shy Bandit uses to indicate his target is a type of {{wp|Calling card (crime)|calling card}}, a token left behind by particularly devious (and self-absorbed) criminals at the scene of their crimes.

-'''The Shy Bandit''' is a mini-boss that appears in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. He is a [[Black Shy Guy]] who was banished from his homeland, according to a rumor.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190703060216/http://papermario.nintendo.com/manual/page_MapMenu.html#chapter-4 World Map and Menus - Paper Mario: Color Splash Game Manual]. ''Nintendo''. Retrieved July 3, 2019.</ref> He wears a red, masquerade-like mask over the usual Shy Guy mask.
-When he appears, he will throw a marker on the level he intends to suck all the color from, and begin running toward that spot. Usually, he is a sizable distance from that area. [[Mario]] must then race him to the marker. If Mario picks up the marker before the Shy Bandit gets there, he disappears, and Mario gets 300 coins. If the Shy Bandit reaches his destination first, he will begin sucking the color from the level, his progress shown by a tiered splotch that empties as he drains. If Mario fails to reach the Shy Bandit before he has sucked all the [[paint]] from a level, the "colorless spots cleared" marker on the level will revert to the default 0% (with a few exceptions). The Shy Bandit can attack even areas colored back to 100%.
-If Mario manages to reach the Shy Bandit before he finishes draining the level's color, or intercepts him before he reaches the marker, he will initiate a battle; at this point, the Shy Bandit will attack first by blinding Mario with paint, or summon three random enemies to attack. By default, the Shy Bandit can summon the following enemies:
-*[[Spike Guy|Red Spike Guy]]s
-*[[Shield Guy|Red Shield Guy]]s
-*[[Goomba]]s
-*[[Koopa Troopa]]s
-*[[Koopa Paratroopa]]s
-*[[Cheep Cheep]]s
-*[[Snifit|Red Snifit]]s
-*[[Spiny|Spinies]]
-*[[Buzzy Beetle]]s
-*[[Hammer Bro]]s
-*[[Sledge Bro]]s
-In addition, the following enemies can be summoned after Mario has visited their respective areas:
-*[[Bone Goomba]]s
-*[[Blooper]]s
-*[[Spike]]s
-*[[Dry Bones]]
-*[[Boo]]s
-*[[Scaredy Rat]]s
-*[[Ninji]]s
-*[[Spike Top]]s
-*[[Pokey]]s
-*[[Piranha Plant]]s
-*[[Ptooie]]s
-*[[Fire Bro]]s
-*[[Ice Bro]]s
-He has his own theme that plays during battle, which is a jazz-styled piece and an homage to spy and criminal themes in old movies, and contains Shy Guy "vocals". If Mario defeats the Shy Bandit, he receives 300 coins and has a chance to get his card, and all the color he had drained from the level (if Mario was not able to get to him before he reached the marker) will be returned, meaning that the previous colorization progress of that level will remain intact.
-When summoned in battle, The Shy Bandit attacks by draining an enemy's color. This is similar to [[Slurp Guy]]s, the big difference being that an enemy defeated by this attack has a chance of becoming a card. The Shy Bandit is ineffective against mini-bosses, bosses, and certain enemies such as [[Lava Bubble]]s, which the Shy Bandit will only burn himself attempting to drain.
