'''Big Guy the Stilted''' is a giant [[Stilt Guy]] robot operated by Shy Guy in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. He is found in his castle, along with many [[Shy Guys]]. To defeat him, [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] must use eggs (or [[Baby Bowser]]'s fire breath) to knock Big Guy the Stilted off the edge of the platform they are fighting on, which is surrounded by [[lava]], giving the Yoshi a chance to [[Ground Pound]] him. Many Shy Guys are inside this robot, jumping out occasionally making for an easy [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] supply. After three Ground Pounds, it cracks, exposing all of the Shy Guy operators, after which it falls into the lava.

==Trivia==
*Big Guy the Stilted may have [[Yoshi's Island DS/Beta elements|been planned to be]] a real Shy Guy instead of being a robot, as a beta image of it shows it almost devoid of the patches and robotic features that covered it in the final game. However, one patch is discretely visible even in this screenshot, indicating that the reason for his lack of robotic features in the screenshot may have simply been because his sprite was incomplete at the time the screenshot was taken.

Many Shy Guys are inside this robot, jumping out occasionally, making for an easy egg supply. After three Ground Pounds, it cracks, exposing all of the Shy Guy operators, after which it falls into the lava.
