This article is about the flying Shy Guys from Yoshi's Story. For the similar enemy with propellers on their heads, see Fly Guy.

Propeller Shy Guys,[1] also known as Flying Shy Guys,[2] are a variant of Shy Guys that first appeared in Yoshi's Story. They fly via a helicopter-like pack that they carry on their back consisting of a two-blade propeller (on top of the pack), which spins on a horizontal axis, and an eight-blade propeller (at the back of the pack), which spins on a vertical axis. These propellers are powered by the Propeller Shy Guys themselves, who continuously pedal with their feet to remain airborne, although the pedals are not visible.

History

Yoshi's Story

It has been requested that this section be rewritten.

In Yoshi's Story, Propeller Shy Guys appear flying above Baby Yoshi carrying fruit. The Propeller Shy Guy will continue to fly back and forth in a particular area, but will immediately fly off-screen as soon as Baby Yoshi eats the fruit from its hands. Propeller Shy Guys may appear alone, or in a swarm; after appearing they disappear off of the screen, reappearing in the background, and in the foreground again. They can be defeated by Baby Yoshi like any other Shy Guy; with the exception of the elite Black Shy Guy, who has its own special characteristics.
