- This article is about the flying Shy Guys from Yoshi's Story. For the similar enemy with propellers on their heads, see Fly Guy.
Propeller Shy Guys,[1] also known as Flying Shy Guys,[2] are a variant of Shy Guys that first appeared in Yoshi's Story. They fly via a helicopter-like pack that they carry on their back consisting of a two-blade propeller (on top of the pack), which spins on a horizontal axis, and an eight-blade propeller (at the back of the pack), which spins on a vertical axis. Aside from this, they are very similar to Fly Guys, which the Yoshi's Story Prima Games coverage and the respective Japanese names consider to be the same thing.[2]
History
Yoshi's Story
Flying Shy Guys debut in Yoshi's Story, where they fly above Baby Yoshi carrying fruit. They will continue to fly back and forth across the area where they appear in, but will immediately fly off-screen if Yoshi eats the fruit they are carrying. Like normal Shy Guys, they change color when a Baby Yoshi performs a Ground Pound near one.
Flying Shy Guys may appear alone or in a swarm. When swarming, they will alternate between moving across the background and the foreground in a loop. They can be defeated by Baby Yoshi like any other Shy Guy (with the exception of the Black Shy Guy, which has its own characteristics).
