'''Spy Guys''' are [[Shy Guy]]s dressed in camouflage gear. So far, their only appearance is in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where they appear in the [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]]. They can attack [[Mario]] with either a slingshot or a [[hammer]], changing weapons each time they are attacked. If Mario gets hit by the hammer and fails to guard against it correctly, he loses one of his action commands for several turns. Since Spy Guys always attack with a slingshot outside battle, they are hard to get harmed and Mario should be careful about them and he should use ranged weapons such as [[Kooper]]'s Shell as if Mario gets to close, it will fire rocks in rapid speed which if Mario is unlucky, he will get hit by the [[First Strike]].

Variant of Shy Guy

Spy Guys are a type of Shy Guy encountered in Paper Mario. They appear exclusively in Shy Guy's Toy Box. Spy Guys are dressed in camouflage gear, wearing a ghillie suit made to resemble a leafy bush with three flowers as a disguise. Thus, they somewhat resemble Petal Guys from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They hold either a slingshot or hammer in their hand.

Spy Guys were originally going to reappear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, but were cut from the game. Their "command_heiho" name remains in the game's coding.[1]

Battle[edit]

They can attack Mario with a slingshot outside and inside of battle; the long range of this attack gives Spy Guys an advantage in scoring a First Strike, and conversely good at avoiding Mario's own attempts. Whenever a Spy Guy is damaged, it changes weapons, altering between slingshot and hammer. If Mario fails to guard against a hammer attack, he suffers the Prohibited Command status effect and loses one of his action commands for several turns. Unlike other Shy Guys, when a Spy Guy is defeated, they will sit on the floor rather than continue their "damaged" animation.
