Petal Guys[1] (originally known as Mufti Guys[2]) are enemies introduced in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. These Shy Guys wear flowers on their head to disguise themselves, and their petals can come in different colors.
History[edit]
Yoshi series[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[edit]
Mufti Guys first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and return in the Game Boy Advance version. They use flowers to hide by crouching down on the ground so that Yoshi can only see the flowers. When Yoshi gets too close to where they are hiding, they will get up and try to hurt Yoshi. When they get up, they still have flowers on their head.
Yoshi's Island DS[edit]
In Yoshi's Island DS, Petal Guys disguise themselves as flower patches and begin to move when Yoshi comes close to their hiding spots, similarly to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Unlike in that game, however, only the regular red-robed ones appear.
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
Petal Guys return in Yoshi's New Island, acting the same way as they did in previous games and appearing in Don't Fear the Spear. While green-robed variants have artwork, they are absent, as only the regular red-robed ones make an appearance in-game, just like in Yoshi's Island DS. They hide as a flower bed, and get up to move around when Yoshi approaches them.
Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]
In Yoshi's Crafted World, Petal Guys wear flowers made of cut paper instead of actual ones. Only green-robed Petal Guys appear in this game. Their flowers are now differently-colored pink, yellow and purple. They can be defeated with Yoshi's jump, but their flowers protect them from all attacks until they reveal themselves.
Mario Party series[edit]
Mario Party Advance[edit]
- “Eyes like the ocean, nose like a mountain, mouth like the shining Sun, you are my earth! And I, a lone spaceman, crash into your love.”
- —Petal Guy, Mario Party Advance
A Petal Guy is a character in Mario Party Advance. He has a role in the Shroom City mode, where he is in love with Flutter. When the player arrives at the Petal House, Petal Guy asks the player to deliver his poem to Flutter. However, upon arriving at her floor in the Mushroom Condo, Petal Guy arrives, saying that he was also searching for his love. He then recites the poem, hoping that she will love him, but fails. It is presumed he made some more attempts before giving up. According to the ending, he gave up poetry, and started carpentry.
Mario Party: Star Rush[edit]
A Petal Guy makes a cameo in Mario Party: Star Rush. There is a painting of it sitting in a vase at the end of the Fruit Parade minigame, on a wall in the background along with paintings of Shy Guys and a Spear Guy.
Mario Kart series[edit]
Petal Guys are spectators in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Tour. They appear in the background of the Yoshi's Island course. Unlike in Yoshi's New Island and Yoshi's Crafted World, they come in various colors again, such as red and green; exclusively in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a blue-robed Petal Guy variant makes its debut.
