'''Shy Guy Squad''' is a [[Special Attack (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)|Special Attack]] used by [[Bowser]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. When initiated, Bowser will have a ball of [[Shy Guy]]s in his hand. Then, a row of Shy Guys will appear on both sides of Bowser, with a rope. The 6 of 12 Shy Guys will then roll and push Bowser into the rope, and the player will have to continually slide the stylus to the left. The farther Bowser is rolled, the more damage he will cause. Then, Bowser will be fired like a slingshot and hit the enemy at a great speed. This [[Special Move]] costs 8 [[Skill Point|SP]] and can be used after Bowser frees the Shy Guys found on [[Bowser Path]]. This move is a fast and easy way to inflict quite a lot of damage at once (an Excellent gives over 200 damage).

'''Shy Guy Squad''' is a [[Brawl Attack]] used by [[Bowser]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. This attack costs eight [[Brawl Point|SP]] in both versions of the game, and can be used after Bowser frees the [[Shy Guy]]s found on [[Bowser Path]]. This move is a fast single target attack and is an easy way to inflict quite a lot of damage at once.


Bowser uses this move against Mario and Luigi during their second battle. [[Bowser X]] uses it as well. They must use their [[hammer]]s to hit Bowser back at the Shy Guys. He won't use this attack if Bowser did not free his Shy Guy military forces.
When initiated, Bowser will have a spherical pile of [[Shy Guy]]s in his hand. After tossing the pile off-screen, a group of three Shy Guys will appear on both sides of Bowser, with a rope. Bowser will then curl up into a [[Spike Ball (move)|Spike Ball]] and the six of twelve Shy Guys will then roll and push Bowser into the rope. The player will have to continually slide the stylus to the left to build power. The farther Bowser is rolled, the more damage he will cause. Then, Bowser will be fired like a slingshot and hit the enemy at high speeds.


==Trivia==
Bowser uses this move against [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] during their second battle in [[Toadley Clinic]]. [[Bowser X]] uses it as well. They must use their [[hammer]]s to [[counterattack]], hitting Bowser back at the Shy Guys enough times so the attack will end without them taking damage. In the fight in Toadley Clinic, he will not use this attack if Bowser did not free the Shy Guys back at Bowser Path. Bowser X will always have access to Shy Guy Squad.
*Bowser doesn't get the ability to curl up into a ball until much later after he can get this attack, yet that's what he does when executing it.
 
In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', the Shy Guy Squad Brawl Attack can no longer slide with the stylus indefinitely, and the attack stops after the Shy Guys push Bowser three times if the player slides the stylus to get an "Excellent".

A demonstration of the move.

Shy Guy Squad is a Brawl Attack used by Bowser in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. This attack costs eight SP in both versions of the game, and can be used after Bowser frees the Shy Guys found on Bowser Path. This move is a fast single target attack and is an easy way to inflict quite a lot of damage at once.

When initiated, Bowser will have a spherical pile of Shy Guys in his hand. After tossing the pile off-screen, a group of three Shy Guys will appear on both sides of Bowser, with a rope. Bowser will then curl up into a Spike Ball and the six of twelve Shy Guys will then roll and push Bowser into the rope. The player will have to continually slide the stylus to the left to build power. The farther Bowser is rolled, the more damage he will cause. Then, Bowser will be fired like a slingshot and hit the enemy at high speeds.

Bowser uses this move against Mario and Luigi during their second battle in Toadley Clinic. Bowser X uses it as well. They must use their hammers to counterattack, hitting Bowser back at the Shy Guys enough times so the attack will end without them taking damage. In the fight in Toadley Clinic, he will not use this attack if Bowser did not free the Shy Guys back at Bowser Path. Bowser X will always have access to Shy Guy Squad.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, the Shy Guy Squad Brawl Attack can no longer slide with the stylus indefinitely, and the attack stops after the Shy Guys push Bowser three times if the player slides the stylus to get an "Excellent".
