==Trivia==
*Big Guy the Stilted may have [[List of Yoshi's Island DS pre-release and unused content|been planned to be]] a real Shy Guy instead of being a robot, as a pre-release image of it shows it almost devoid of the patches and robotic features that covered it in the final game. However, one patch is discreetly visible even in this screenshot, indicating that the reason for his lack of robotic features in the screenshot may have simply been because his sprite was incomplete at the time the screenshot was taken.
