—Slurp Guy, Paper Mario: Color Splash

Slurp Guys are a variant of Shy Guys that appear in Paper Mario: Color Splash, and are responsible for the colorless spots. They carry straws in their mouths, which they can use to drink the colors of anything. There are blue, red and yellow Slurp Guys. When they attack in a battle, they drain one of Mario's three color bars according to their color, so he cannot paint cards of that color until he recovers his paint.

If Mario runs out of health during a battle, six red Slurp Guys come and drain him of his color before the Game Over screen appears.

According to the manual of the game, only the best Shy Guys can get straws to become a Slurp Guy. They must go through sit-ups, jogging, and dancing to train their minds and bodies.

In Paper Mario: The Origami King, a Slurp Guy appears in the tea house at Shogun Studios, drinking tea from the straw. He gives Mario his straw for free, which he can give to a Ninji to get shurikens. The string "Slurp Guy" is also present in the game's text data.
