'''Pyro Guys''', originally called '''Flamer Guys''', are [[Shy Guy]]s that have somehow caught fire. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. If [[Yoshi]] ate one, he could breathe three shots of fire. The Pyro Guys could run faster than normal Shy Guys.

Flamer Guys first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its Game Boy Advance version]]. Should [[Yoshi]] eat one, he gets the ability to spit three shots of fire. Flamer Guys move quicker than normal Shy-Guys. They either hop forward or run in short bursts.


Pyro Guys appeared again in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They are twice as fast as normal Shy Guys and dealt more damage per attack. Pyro Guys are also weak against ice attacks. Additionally, explosive attacks, such as [[Bombette]]'s [[Bomb (attack)|Bomb]] attack, could easily defeat a squad of Pyro Guys.

Pyro Guys return as enemies in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' in the level [[Pyro Guy Peak]] behaving in the same way as they did in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. Unlike previously, they are inedible, so Yoshi has to either avoid them or throw an egg at them. They also spawn from [[Warp Pipe]]s, similar to regular Shy Guys near the end of the level.


Pyro Guys reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', however their appearance is slightly different, such as the more ghost-like appearance, floating without legs, and coming in three different colors: red, blue, and yellow, to correspond with the same-colored switches. Pyro Guys are immobile enemies, and will not move regardless of what state it's in, however they are still lethal, and invulnerable to attack. When a switch of matching color is activated, Pyro Guys will turn into blocks, quelling their lethality, and can be used as steps. They are first encountered in Room 4-5.

Pyro Guys return as enemies in Yoshi's New Island in the level Pyro Guy Peak behaving in the same way as they did in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Unlike previously, they are inedible, so Yoshi has to either avoid them or throw an egg at them. They also spawn from Warp Pipes, similar to regular Shy Guys near the end of the level.
