Shy Guys Finish Last is a game show featured in Paper Mario: The Origami King, located on the path to the Spring of Rainbows. It is done in a similar manner to Snifit or Whiffit from the past two Paper Mario games, except it is hosted by a Shy Guy and the audience is consisted of Shy Guys.

The first time Mario comes here, he must take part in the show and reach 100 points. In subsequent visits, Mario is given the option to take part or skip the show and go straight to the Spring of Rainbows.

There are four different challenges, each with three different levels of difficulty. Level 1 awards 10 points, Level 2 awards 30 points, and Level 3 awards 50 points. If Mario reaches 100 points, he will be able to play the Sudden Death round. When the quiz show is replayed, Mario can go for a perfect game, where he must pass every challenge including Sudden Death to get the Quiz Master trophy.

List of challenges

Ring Scramble

An image is displayed on the arena, which is scrambled. Mario must organize the rings to display the image correctly within a limited amount of moves in a limited time.

Level 1

The image is of the canned food party trio from Autumn Mountain. There are no slides, only rotations. Mario is given four moves and 40 seconds.

Level 2

The image is of the Shy Guy host. Sliding is involved for this one. Mario is given seven moves and one minute.

Level 3

The image is of Overlook Mountain. Mario is given six moves and one minute.

Race 'n' Place

A 100m footrace will be shown between four different types of enemies. The enemies featured can be a Koopa Troopa, Ninji, Shy Guy, Snifit, or a Goomba. Their ending results must be memorized.

Level 1

The winner must be placed in a certain spot on the arena within 40 seconds.

Level 2

The one who finished at either second, third or fourth must be placed in a certain spot of the arena within 40 seconds.

Level 3

All contenders must be placed in a line formation on a certain column in the order they finished within one minute.

Ninji Skills

Several types of enemies will be shown and then placed under blue boxes, and then shuffled around. The Ninjis must be memorized and placed within a blue box in the arena after they are shuffled, and only Ninjis must be in the box.

Level 1

There will be one Ninji and four other different enemies. Mario has 40 seconds to pick his answer.

Level 2

There will be two Ninjis and three other different enemies. Mario has 40 seconds to pick his answers.

Level 3

There will be four Ninjis and two other different enemies, and will be shuffled for an even longer period of time. Mario has one minute to pick his answers.

Bath Math

Goombas will be shown entering and leaving a hot spring, and the amount of Goombas that are still in at the end must be memorized. A sum adding to the answer must then be placed in a line formation in a certain column, and all four spaces must have a number or a +/- sign within them.

Level 1

The Goombas will move in and out at a slower rate. Mario has 40 seconds to make a sum.

Level 2

The Goombas will move in and out at a faster rate. Mario has 40 seconds to make a sum.

Level 3

Steam will cover the hot spring, preventing the Goombas inside from being seen. Mario has 60 seconds to make a sum.

Sudden Death

As the name implies, if Mario loses this round, he gets an instant Game Over. A song from earlier in the game will be played (Happy & Sappy, Go with the Flow, or My Heart's a-Burnin'), with one lyric replaced with a "?". Mario will be put in a cannon, and a path must be made for Olivia to traverse leading to the correct answer (the missing lyric) in a similar manner to a boss battle. The path must be made within three moves and one minute.
