'''Whirly Fly Guys'''<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Nintendo Player's Guide. [[Media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128]].</ref> are a rare variety of [[Fly Guy]]s found in the game ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', its remake ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They flash several different colors, distinguishing them from ordinary Fly Guys. They first stand on the ground, and when the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] approaches it, it slowly takes off into the sky. The Yoshi cannot stomp the Whirly Fly Guy. If a Yoshi swallows one, then spits it out, the Whirly Fly Guy turns into a green [[Shy Guy]]. They are much like normal Fly Guys at first, but when a Yoshi attempts to throw [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]] at the Whirly Fly Guy, [[coin]]s start to appear from the Whirly Fly Guy. When the Yoshi throws enough eggs at the Whirly Fly Guy, one or two [[extra life|extra lives]] are awarded to the Yoshi as the Whirly Fly Guy is defeated. Alternatively, shooting seeds from eating a [[Watermelon (Yoshi's Island series)|watermelon]] is effective as well.

They reappear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', now colored white, similar to [[White Shy Guy]]s. One appears near the end of [[Cave of the Nipper Plants]]. When Light-blue Yoshi approaches it, the Whirly Fly Guy starts flying away in a straight line. As long as Yoshi has eggs, he can keep throwing them at the Whirly Fly Guy to earn extra lives until it is defeated.

Whirly Fly Guy from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Whirly Fly Guys are depicted in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake as flashing between several colors. A Whirly Fly Guy is on the ground at first, but starts to fly off slowly when approached. A Whirly Fly Guy cannot be stomped, though it can be swallowed and then spit out to become a green Shy Guy. Whirly Fly Guys are resistant to eggs, as each time a Yoshi either throws one or spits a watermelon seed at a Whirly Fly Guy, a coin appears from it, until the Whirly Fly Guy is hit by enough projectiles, defeating it and earning the player one or two extra lives.

Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]

In Yoshi's New Island, Whirly Fly Guys have a white robe and no longer flash between colors. One is located toward the end of Cave of the Nipper Plants.
