'''Zeus Guys'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|date=1995|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=[[media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|128]]}}</ref> are relatives of [[Bandit]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its Game Boy Advance version]], and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They are named after {{wp|Zeus}}, the Greek god of lightning, possibly due to their ability to charge up balls of energy to attack from a distance.

Zeus Guys are usually found in pairs, charging and firing balls of energy towards [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], with these projectiles traveling quickly in a horizontal straight line, able to pass through walls. While doing this, they slowly inch towards their target, jumping when necessary and breaking any obstacles in their path. Once Yoshi is a short distance away from them, the Zeus Guys would attempt to kick or punch Yoshi, though they would still occasionally charge up and fire balls of energy, especially — but not necessarily — if Yoshi cannot actually be reached (for example, if Yoshi is on the other side of an unbreakable wall, or is standing on a platform right on top of the Zeus Guys). Yoshi cannot swallow them, and jumping on them or throwing an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at them only stuns them temporarily. To defeat them, Yoshi must freeze and shatter them with a [[ice watermelon|blue watermelon]], spit fire obtained from swallowing a [[fire watermelon|red watermelon]] or a consumable fiery enemy like a [[Pyro Guy|Flamer Guy]], or use an [[Anywhere POW]]. In certain occasions, if Yoshi moves far enough from them, then returns within a certain distance from the Zeus Guys (regardless of whether they respawned in their original location or remained where they are last seen), they can be observed in their default pose and idle animation, shifting back and forth as they have lost track of their target, only resuming their assault if Yoshi moves one step towards them.
