Spear Guys | Spear Guys are enemies ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and its remake. They are encountered within several levels, mainly jungle levels. They can only be defeated by being hit with an egg or eaten with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s tongue from behind because their shields will block attacks from the front. Spear Guys sometimes have long spears that can make an obstacle for Yoshi to jump over or avoid, as touching any part of the spear can cause Baby Mario to fall off of him and get kidnapped. | ||

Spear Guys returned in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as enemies on [[Lavalava Island]]. They can only be found in [[Jade Jungle]], near [[Yoshi's Village]]. These Spear Guys lack feathers and shields, and have a different spear, but serve the same purpose as their predecessors and act in much the same way. Outside of battle, Spear Guys are seen dancing to the background music. Judging by their field behavior and unique Japanese name, these Spear Guys seem to be intended to combine traits of normal Spear Guys with the Dancing Spear Guy variant. | |||
When [[Mario]] first enters the jungle, he comes upon several Spear Guys attacking [[Kolorado]]. Mario can either battle the Spear Guys or proceed without Kolorado, who will catch up and get upset with Mario. | |||

Without [[Spike Shield]], Mario cannot [[Jump]] on these Spear Guys when they hold their spear vertically, or use his [[Hammer]] while their spear faces him. They sometimes switch the position of their spear, indicating which attack they will do next and forcing Mario to change his battle strategy. | |||
Mario | They may either poke Mario with their spears, or throw them at him. After throwing them, they become normal [[Shy Guy]]s and continue the remainder of the battle as a Shy Guy would. Spear Guys may also dance to get another Spear Guy in the battle. | ||
If a Spear Guy spots Mario outside battle, it will try to poke Mario with its Spear to make the [[First Strike]]. | |||

Spear Guys make a major appearance in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', alongside [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Clip Guy]]s, [[Sombrero Guy]]s, and [[Snifit]]s. They look similar to their appearance from the original ''Paper Mario'', but their shoes are seen a little more, while their spears are sleeker in design. Here, they show up in [[World 5 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 5]], as common enemies. When the battle starts, a Spear Guy will flip his spear and either hold it vertically or horizontally. If held vertically, Mario cannot perform jumps on the Spear Guy, and if held horizontally, Mario cannot use his Hammer on the enemy. The attacks of Spear Guys are determined by the position in which they hold their spear. If held vertically, the Spear Guy will chuck their spear at Mario. If the spear is held horizontally, the Spear Guy will go in front of Mario and stab him with the weapon. The Spear Guys are still vulnerable to projectiles. Unlike in ''Paper Mario'', if a Spear Guy throws his spear at Mario, it will not become a regular Shy Guy. Spear Guys can assist [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]s., and [[Boomerang Bro]]s. | |||

During Shy Guy Jungle, three Spear Guys take a part of the bridge leading to the [[Comet Piece]] and run away. Mario must defeat these Spear Guys in order to progress. During [[Jungle Rapids]], Spear Guys chuck spears at Mario while he rides the raft. They also swing on vines and throw barrels at Mario. At the end of the level, several Spear Guys are seen performing tribal dances around pieces of the [[Sticker Comet]].

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', the [[Spear Thicket]] contains a Spear Guy warrior that wants to challenge anyone with a mustache to a duel. When first approached in the [[Mustached Hero!]] quest, he comments on whether or not the current character has a mustache. If they do not (either [[Princess Peach]] or [[Yoshi]]), he says that he wants a fight, but that their lack of a mustache makes them an unworthy opponent. If they do (either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]), he challenges them to a duel, saying in broken English that if he wins, he will be just as brave. He also says that if they win the duel, they can keep the minigame ([[Tank-Down]]). After winning the duel, he is impressed by their skill and sticks to his promise, giving them the game. He then compliments them before asking them to come back for a rematch. The ending credits state that, to this day, Spear Guy lurks in the thicket, waiting for someone else with a mustache to pass by. | |||
Several Spear Guys also dance alongside the four playable characters in the [[Credits]]. | |||

The [[Spear Guy Orb]] is an item appearing in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' that makes a Spear Guy appear that forces anyone landing on a particular space to grant the item-user a certain amount of coins. Spear Guy does this by poking the player several times with his spear.

Spear Guy makes short appearances in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. Here, for his [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|offensive]] and [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|defensive]] power shots, [[Shy Guy]] will momentarily transform into Spear Guy and use his spear to hit the ball. This was similarly inspired for [[Fly Guy]]'s [[Special Shot (Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and Mario Sports Mix)|Special Shot]] in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', [[Thunder Shot]], but he merely wields a spear that turns the basketball yellow with electricity. | |||

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and its [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], Spear Guys are pink and are usually sleeping on a platform. Whenever [[Mario]] jumps on the same platform, the Spear Guy awakens and quickly runs toward Mario. However, if a [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]] jumps onto the platform, the Spear Guy will not be awoken. Whenever a Spear Guy reaches the end of the platform they are on, they will sit down and fall back asleep. Like most of their main appearances, Spear Guys constantly hold spears pointing upward whether they are asleep or awake; therefore, attempting to jump on top of the enemy will cause Mario to lose a [[extra life|life]]. | |||

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', Spear Guys, also dubbed Shy Guys,<ref>{{cite|quote=Shy Guy – Shy Guys prevent Mini Mario from reaching certain areas by patrolling back and forth.

They patrol their area and hold their spears upright, extending their vertical reach slightly and allowing their range to pass through semisolid [[girder]] platforms. Upon activation of a red [[Color Switch]], Spear Guys transform into stationary solid blocks. When in this state, Spear Guys can be used as a step or bridge to cross harmful areas. Spear Guys can be defeated with [[hammer]]s. They first appear in [[Room 2-7 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 2-7]] of [[Sandstone Stroll]], but are more prevalent on the [[Jungle Rumble]] floor. | |||

Spear Guys do not reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]''; however, within the Shy Guy assets is a [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!#Pre-release and unused content|leftover]] sprite of the spear from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!''. | |||

Spear Guys, without the tribal theme, appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' in the [[Giant Bowser]] fight. They come out of a castle, either attacking [[Giant Luigi]] or handing out some meat for Giant Bowser. | |||

Spear Guys are strong against [[Pestnut]]s and [[Elite Pestnut]]s, though they are weak against red [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s. | |||

Spear Guys reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', as allies and enemies in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. They are ranged troopers, and they are strong against [[Oho Jee]]s. They are no longer weak against Koopa Paratroopas. | |||

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''=== | |||
Spear Guys reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', behaving the same way as in previous games, except that they hold their spears forwards similar to [[Hook Guy]]s in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and Pike Guys in ''Yoshi's Island DS''. They carry a wooden lid labeled "Orange Juice" as a shield, and first appear in the level [[Mousers and Magnets]]. | |||

These tribal Shy Guys wield a spear and shield, and usually wear grass skirts and have painted marks on their masks. Their designs take after stock depictions of sub-Saharan African warriors in Western media, particularly the Maasai people in eastern Africa and the Zulu people in southern Africa. Similar enemies include Chuck Guys and their Elite counterparts from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Hook Guys from Yoshi's Woolly World.
History[edit]
Yoshi's Island series[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]
Spear Guys are enemies Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake. They are encountered within several levels, mainly jungle levels. They can only be defeated by being hit with an egg or eaten with Yoshi's tongue from behind because their shields will block attacks from the front. Spear Guys sometimes have long spears that can make an obstacle for Yoshi to jump over or avoid, as touching any part of the spear can cause Baby Mario to fall off of him and get kidnapped.
A variant called Dancing Spear Guy also appears alongside the regular Spear Guys, and are known for their dancing in a fixed place. They differ by their yellow robes, lack of feathers on their spear and lack of shield, though still hold onto their spear while dancing.
Yoshi's Island DS[edit]
Both Spear Guys and Dancing Spear Guys returned in the sequel, Yoshi's Island DS, though their appearance was subtly changed. A slight blue shade was added to Spear Guy masks, and a green shade to Dancing Spear Guy masks. An entire level of the fifth world, titled Spear Guys' Village Found!, features these enemies and their supposed village. A variant holding its spear horizontally as opposed to vertically is introduced, also known as Pike Guy,[2] which stands in one spot and jabs its spear forward.
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
Spear Guys reappear in Yoshi's New Island, mainly in the level Don't Fear the Spear.
Paper Mario series[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
Spear Guys returned in Paper Mario as enemies on Lavalava Island. They can only be found in Jade Jungle, near Yoshi's Village. These Spear Guys lack feathers and shields, and have a different spear, but serve the same purpose as their predecessors and act in much the same way. Outside of battle, Spear Guys are seen dancing to the background music. Judging by their field behavior and unique Japanese name, these Spear Guys seem to be intended to combine traits of normal Spear Guys with the Dancing Spear Guy variant.
When Mario first enters the jungle, he comes upon several Spear Guys attacking Kolorado. Mario can either battle the Spear Guys or proceed without Kolorado, who will catch up and get upset with Mario.
Without Spike Shield, Mario cannot Jump on these Spear Guys when they hold their spear vertically, or use his Hammer while their spear faces him. They sometimes switch the position of their spear, indicating which attack they will do next and forcing Mario to change his battle strategy.
They may either poke Mario with their spears, or throw them at him. After throwing them, they become normal Shy Guys and continue the remainder of the battle as a Shy Guy would. Spear Guys may also dance to get another Spear Guy in the battle.
If a Spear Guy spots Mario outside battle, it will try to poke Mario with its Spear to make the First Strike.
Super Paper Mario[edit]
Spear Guys along with Shy Guys, Stilt Guys, and Fly Guys were originally going to appear in Super Paper Mario, but were taken out for unknown reasons.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]
Spear Guys make a major appearance in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, alongside Shy Guys, Clip Guys, Sombrero Guys, and Snifits. They look similar to their appearance from the original Paper Mario, but their shoes are seen a little more, while their spears are sleeker in design. Here, they show up in World 5, as common enemies. When the battle starts, a Spear Guy will flip his spear and either hold it vertically or horizontally. If held vertically, Mario cannot perform jumps on the Spear Guy, and if held horizontally, Mario cannot use his Hammer on the enemy. The attacks of Spear Guys are determined by the position in which they hold their spear. If held vertically, the Spear Guy will chuck their spear at Mario. If the spear is held horizontally, the Spear Guy will go in front of Mario and stab him with the weapon. The Spear Guys are still vulnerable to projectiles. Unlike in Paper Mario, if a Spear Guy throws his spear at Mario, it will not become a regular Shy Guy. Spear Guys can assist Piranha Plants, Hammer Bros., and Boomerang Bros.
During Shy Guy Jungle, three Spear Guys take a part of the bridge leading to the Comet Piece and run away. Mario must defeat these Spear Guys in order to progress. During Jungle Rapids, Spear Guys chuck spears at Mario while he rides the raft. They also swing on vines and throw barrels at Mario. At the end of the level, several Spear Guys are seen performing tribal dances around pieces of the Sticker Comet. Two Spear Guys are the final enemies seen harassing the Traveling Toad, with five being fought in the ensuing battle.
Mario Party series[edit]
Mario Party[edit]
Spear Guys make a short appearance in the mini-game Paddle Battle from the original Mario Party, which attack the characters with their spears if the character(s) on one side get too close to a Spear Guy. The Spear Guys make the single character lose three coins to the other team of three, and make the team lose one coin each to the single character.
Mario Party 2[edit]
In Mario Party 2, the mask of a Spear Guy appears near the start of Pirate Land.
Mario Party 3[edit]
A drumming Spear Guy appears leading a troupe of Dancing Spear Guys in the Mario Party 3 minigame The Beat Goes On. The players must follow the beat while adding their own continuation of it, or the Dancing Spear Guys will throw their torches at them. This minigame returns in Mario Party: The Top 100, along with the Spear Guy.
Mario Party Advance[edit]
- “Hoowa! I am having much of the happiness!”
- —Spear Guy, Mario Party Advance
In Mario Party Advance, the Spear Thicket contains a Spear Guy warrior that wants to challenge anyone with a mustache to a duel. When first approached in the Mustached Hero! quest, he comments on whether or not the current character has a mustache. If they do not (either Princess Peach or Yoshi), he says that he wants a fight, but that their lack of a mustache makes them an unworthy opponent. If they do (either Mario or Luigi), he challenges them to a duel, saying in broken English that if he wins, he will be just as brave. He also says that if they win the duel, they can keep the minigame (Tank-Down). After winning the duel, he is impressed by their skill and sticks to his promise, giving them the game. He then compliments them before asking them to come back for a rematch. The ending credits state that, to this day, Spear Guy lurks in the thicket, waiting for someone else with a mustache to pass by.
Several Spear Guys also dance alongside the four playable characters in the Credits.
Mario Party 7[edit]
The Spear Guy Orb is an item appearing in Mario Party 7 that makes a Spear Guy appear that forces anyone landing on a particular space to grant the item-user a certain amount of coins. Spear Guy does this by poking the player several times with his spear. In addition, several Spear Guys appear in the game King of the River.
Mario Party 8[edit]
A Spear Guy functions as the shop owner in DK's Treetop Temple from Mario Party 8. He sells the player Candy. A certain Green Space also causes a Spear Guy (also referred to as Pike Guy)[3] to appear and take away one of the player's Candies, but give them coins in return.
Mario Power Tennis / New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis[edit]
Spear Guy makes short appearances in Mario Power Tennis. Here, for his offensive and defensive power shots, Shy Guy will momentarily transform into Spear Guy and use his spear to hit the ball. This was similarly inspired for Fly Guy's Special Shot in Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Thunder Shot, but he merely wields a spear that turns the basketball yellow with electricity.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong series[edit]
Spear Guys[4] appear with a toylike design in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, looking more like the games' Shy Guys.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong[edit]
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong and its remake, Spear Guys are pink and are usually sleeping on a platform. Whenever Mario jumps on the same platform, the Spear Guy awakens and quickly runs toward Mario. However, if a Mini-Mario jumps onto the platform, the Spear Guy will not be awoken. Whenever a Spear Guy reaches the end of the platform they are on, they will sit down and fall back asleep. Like most of their main appearances, Spear Guys constantly hold spears pointing upward whether they are asleep or awake; therefore, attempting to jump on top of the enemy will cause Mario to lose a life.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again![edit]
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, Spear Guys, also dubbed Shy Guys,[5] are red and act more like the Shy Guys of the previous game. They patrol their area and hold their spears upright, extending their vertical reach slightly and allowing their range to pass through semisolid girder platforms. Upon activation of a red Color Switch, Spear Guys transform into stationary solid blocks. When in this state, Spear Guys can be used as a step or bridge to cross harmful areas. Spear Guys can be defeated with hammers. They first appear in Room 2-7 of Sandstone Stroll, but are more prevalent on the Jungle Rumble floor.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem![edit]
Spear Guys do not reappear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!; however, within the Shy Guy assets is a leftover sprite of the spear from Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!.
Mario & Luigi series[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
Spear Guys, without the tribal theme, appear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team in the Giant Bowser fight. They come out of a castle, either attacking Giant Luigi or handing out some meat for Giant Bowser.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]
While regular Spear Guys do not appear in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Paper Spear Guys appear as enemies.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]
Spear Guys appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions as Ranged troopers in Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser. They attack by throwing their spears at enemies. Spear Guys are strong against Pestnuts and Elite Pestnuts, though they are weak against red Koopa Paratroopas.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[edit]
Spear Guys reappear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, as allies and enemies in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode. They are ranged troopers, and they are strong against Oho Jees. They are no longer weak against Koopa Paratroopas.
Super Mario Maker[edit]
Although Spear Guys themselves do not appear in Super Mario Maker, the Shy Guy costume holds up a spear similar to one in its pose when the player presses .
Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]
Spear Guys reappear in Yoshi's Crafted World, behaving the same way as in previous games, except that they hold their spears forwards similar to Hook Guys in Yoshi's Woolly World and Pike Guys in Yoshi's Island DS. They carry a wooden lid labeled "Orange Juice" as a shield, and first appear in the level Mousers and Magnets.
