A ninja [[Shy Guy]], '''Zeus Guy''' throws balls of energy at [[Yoshi]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Licking him does no good, and stepping on him or egging him stuns him temporarily. Taking him out with a [[Fire Watermelon]] or [[Ice Watermelon]] is recommended, but if the player leave that part of the screen and come back they will regenerate. They can be permanently obilerated with a [[POW Block]]. They are usually found in groups of two. If the player get too close, within the maximum range of their balls of energy, they'll kick or punch Yoshi.

'''Zeus Guys'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English|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.
During the events of ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', [[Zeus Guy (Snifit)|Zeus Guys]] resembled [[Snifit]]s. These Zeus Guys would most likely be misnamed enemies, like how the [[Sledge Bros.]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' were misnamed [[Sumo Bros.]]
