Shy-Guys on Stilts first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and reappear in its enhanced port, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. [[Shy-Guys On Stilts|World 1-6]] is named after them and contains color variations. They walk along the terrain, changing direction when they encounter an edge or wall. If [[Yoshi]] attempts to eat a Shy-Guy on Stilts, he will not be able to grab it into his mouth, instead pushing the enemy a little further. They lose their stilts when they are jumped on, becoming regular Shy-Guys that can be eaten and turned into [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]]. A faster way to defeat a Shy-Guy on Stilts is hitting it with an egg. Bumping Shy-Guys on Stilts into water will cause them to sink, but if the water is shallow they will slowly walk on the bottom of the water's bed and emerge on the shore.

Shy Guys on Stilts also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', along with [[Big Guy the Stilted]], a giant mechanical version. As with ''Yoshi's Story'', the length of the stilts varies, with the longest taking up both screens of the [[Nintendo DS]]. This game also introduces [[stilts]] as an item that Yoshi can use for himself. If [[Baby Bowser]] spits a fire ball on the stilts without killing the Shy Guy, the Shy Guy will bump down to the middle of the stilts' length.

Stilt Guys are also found in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. Just like in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', when they are on their stilts and Yoshi attempts to stick his tongue on their front sides, they get pushed backwards. They need to be jumped on in order to lose their stilts and become normal [[Shy Guy]]s. Yoshi can also eat them if he sticks his tongue onto their back sides. The pink-robed variants make their first appearance since the original ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', now having the same modern design as the pink Shy Guys. Unlike ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', the Stilt Guys' shoes match the shoes of Shy Guys themselves.
Stilt Guys retain their role of being enemies in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', and their pink counterparts from ''Yoshi's Story'' also appear. Unlike before, Yoshi can eat a Stilt Guy from behind.

Shy Guys On Stilts also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', with the stilts now coming in three different lengths. Like in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Yoshi has to land on their heads to make them fall off their stilts, leaving them no choice once again. Blue-robed variants make their debut in this game.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', two Stilt Guys are the second wave of [[Shy Guy]]s fought before the boss battle with [[General Guy]], following the [[Shy Squad]] and preceding the [[Shy Guy Tower|Shy Stack]]s. After they are ordered by General Guy to fight against [[Mario]] and his friends, they walk towards the heroes and attempt to bounce on them with their long stilts. Nevertheless, the enemies might miss the characters. If Mario [[jump]]s on top of them or uses [[Quake Hammer]], they fall off their stilts and become normal Shy Guys. The tattle contains a nod to their original name.

Stilt Guys return in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. In order to keep the game's prime aesthetics, Stilt Guys are now crafted out of wool strings and walk on two long, thin weaving sticks, resembling stilts. The enemies retain the behavior seen in previous games. Yarn Yoshi can lick a Stilt Guy from the front side to push it a small distance, or lick the enemy from behind to grab it into his mouth. He can also throw a [[yarn ball]] at its stilts and wrap it around them, immobilizing the Stilt Guy. Yoshi can lick away the wool string formed around the stilts or wait a certain time before the Stilt Guy becomes able to move again. Tossing a yarn ball directly at the Stilt Guy will result in the enemy getting caged inside a tangled string, dropping its stilts and getting defeated. The Stilt Guys' shoes match the color of Shy Guys for the first time since ''Yoshi's Island DS''.

Stilt Guys, also known as Shy-Guys on Stilts[1] (alternatively Shy Guys On Stilts or Shy Guys on Stilts[2]) or Stilted Shy Guys,[3] are a variant of Shy Guy that walks on stilts, which are mostly shoed with what look like large Shy Guy boots.

History

Yoshi's Island series

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

Shy-Guys on Stilts first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and reappear in its enhanced port. World 1-6 is named after them and contains color variations. A Shy-Guys on Stilts walks along before changing direction upon encountering an edge or a wall. A Yoshi's tongue can only push the Shy-Guy on Stilts a bit further. They become regular Shy-Guys when jumped on. A Shy-Guy on Stilts can be defeated directly by throwing an egg at it. Bumping Shy-Guys on Stilts into water causes them to sink, but if the water is shallow enough, they can slowly walk back to shore.

Yoshi's Island DS

Shy Guys on Stilts return as enemies in Yoshi's Island DS. The length of the stilts varies, like in Yoshi's Story, with the longest taking up both screens. Stilts were made into a usable item, and the game adds a giant mechanical version named Big Guy the Stilted. Baby Bowser can spit a fireball at the stilts of a Shy Guys on Stilts to bump the Shy Guy down to the midway of the stilts' length.

Yoshi's New Island

Stilt Guys retain their role of being enemies in Yoshi's New Island, and their pink counterparts from Yoshi's Story also appear. Unlike before, Yoshi can eat a Stilt Guy from behind.

Yoshi's Story

Shy Guys On Stilts ride stilts of three different lengths in Yoshi's Story. Like before, landing on a Shy Guy On Stilts causes it to fall off and become a regular Shy Guy. They Blue-robed variation appears for the first time.

Paper Mario

“Go! Attack, Stilt Guys! Fight! Fight! Fight!”
General Guy, Paper Mario

Two Stilt Guys are the second wave of Shy Guys fought before the boss battle with General Guy in Paper Mario. Upon being ordered into battle, the Stilt Guys walk towards Mario and his partner and attempt to bounce on them with their long stilts, with a chance of missing. A Stilt Guy can fall off of its stilts and become a regular Shy Guy from either Mario's jump or Quake Hammer. The tattle contains a nod to their original name.[4]

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World

Stilt Guys in Spiky Stroll, a level in World 2
Several Stilt Guys stroll around Yarn Yoshi in Yoshi's Woolly World

Stilt Guys return in Yoshi's Woolly World and its remake, behaving the same as before. They are crafted out of wool strings and walk on two long, thin weaving sticks that resemble stilts, with their design being consistent with the game's aesthetics. Yarn Yoshi can use his tongue to either push a Stilt Guy from the front or to eat it from behind. A Stilt Guy can be immobilized by a yarn ball being wrapped around its stilts, then Yoshi can lick away the wool string around the stilts. A Stilt Guy becomes caged inside a tangled string by throwing a yarn ball at it, dropping its stilts and defeating it. Stilt Guys have the same shoe color as Shy Guys, unlike Yoshi's New Island.

Minecraft

In Minecraft, the Super Mario Mash-up replaces the skins of the Endermen to skins of Stilt Guys. The Stilt Guys also have stilt-like arms, to fit the model of an Enderman.

Mario Kart series

Stilt Guys on the Yoshi's Island course

Stilt Guys appear in the Yoshi's Island course in the Booster Course Pass for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as well as the course's appearance in Mario Kart Tour. They function as obstacles near the start, walking back and forth. The Stilt Guys are featured in a variety of colors, though the regular red-robed Stilt Guys' stilt shoes are now yellow, while the green Stilt Guys' stilt shoes are still green.[5]

Unused appearances
