'''Game Guy''' is a [[Shy Guy]] from ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', who sports a bow tie and a natural showman's attitude. He runs a game show-esque gambling event that players must play when they land on his space. The player can usually double their [[coin]] amounts or lose all of their coins, though brave players can risk their money for higher multiples. The games all revolve entirely around luck and usually the player's money is left up to fate. He owns and hosts one of his four mini-games when a player lands on his space, which they can be [[Game Guy's Lucky 7]], [[Game Guy's Magic Boxes]], [[Game Guy's Roulette]] or [[Game Guy's Sweet Surprise]]. Contestants can also call Game Guy by using the [[Lucky Charm]] without needing to go into his space.
