- —Shyster, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
A Shyster is a small artificially created Shy Guy that hops on a sword-tipped pogo-stick. They appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Shysters seem to love nothing more than hopping around all day long.
Shysters are soldiers that work for the Smithy Gang. Shysters formed the bulk of Mack's forces during his invasion of Mushroom Kingdom. After Mack conquers the peaceful kingdom, the Shysters are allowed to terrorize the townsfolk as they please.
A Shyster attacks by jumping on top of his opponent with his sword-tipped pogo-stick. Additionally, Shysters have limited proficiency in magic. As such, Shysters can use the weak fire-based attack Drain to shoot a small fireball at opponents. Shysters can be easily defeated with lightning magic. During Mario and Mallow's battle with Mack, the knife monster summoned four Shyster Bodyguards to aid him in the fight.
After Mario's penultimate fight with Smithy, a Shyster, an Aero, and a Drill Bit ask their master to calm down and to stop slamming the floor with his mallet in order to prevent the Factory from falling apart. Their efforts fail as Smithy continues to slam the foundation with his hammer, collapsing the floor and sending his minions flying away.
Several stronger varieties of Shysters exist, including the Springer and the Shyper, as well as the Machine Made Bodyguard.
