It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.
A Fly Guy is a sub-species of Shy Guy. They have propellers on their heads and have various jobs. They are not to be confused with Flying Shy Guys or Sky Guys.
History
Yoshi series
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Fly Guys first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In the game they carried Red Coins, 1-Ups, Coins, ? Clouds or even bombs. In some levels one of them would swoop down carrying a ? Cloud or a Red Coin, and if Yoshi didn't get them in time the Fly Guy would float back up and laugh mockingly.
Yoshi's Story
Fly Guys make an appearance in Yoshi's Story. They would come in a line of four. If the Yoshi could defeat all four with one egg, he would be awarded with a melon. They appear in Stage 3-3: Poochy and Nippy, Stage 3-4: Frustration, and Stage 5-3: Shy Guy Limbo.
Yoshi's Island DS
Fly Guys behaved similarly in Yoshi's Island DS as they did in the original, except they did not carry bombs and their laugh is much, much higher pitched. 5 of them, one carrying a Red Coin, 2 with 1-ups, and 2 with Coins, appeared in the Island Museum. It may seem like they were in the aerial exhibit, but they were actually in the Shy Guy exhibit.
Super Mario series
Super Mario 64
In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, Fly Guys, here called Fire Guys, appear in Shifting Sand Land. They fly around the course, spitting fireballs at Mario, trying to force the plumber into the lethal quicksand. They also appear in Tiny-Huge Island. This time, the Fly Guys spit fire at Mario near ledges, trying to kick him off the ledge. A single Fly Guy appears on Tall Tall Mountain next to Ukiki. They also appear in Rainbow Cruise, though in a small number. These are the only games where they have the ability to produce flames. When Mario stomps a Fly Guy in Super Mario 64, he will Spin Jump high up into the air. This allows him to reach high places. The Fly Guys share this effect with the Spindrifts.
Mario Party series
Fly Guys have been noted for some important roles in the Mario Party series; for example, Fly Guy is responsible for Duel Mini-games in Mario Party 5. Two Fly Guys appear on the box art of Mario Party 8. A secret technique with the Mic causes Fly guys to fly across the menu screen in Mario Party 6. However, they only appear through cameos.
Mario Tennis series
Mario Power Tennis
Fly Guy debuted in the Mario Tennis series with Mario Power Tennis, as a secret character known for his trickiness. He could be unlocked by beating the Mushroom Cup, the Flower Cup and Star Cup in singles. His Offensive Power Shot is the Tornado Twist, which envelopes the returning player in a whirlwind while messing up controls, and his Defensive Power Shot is the Tornado Return, which he uses a whirlwind to return the ball from anywhere.
Mario & Luigi series
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Template:Pitenemy Fly Guys had minor roles in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, appearing as enemies in Star Hill. They carried time bombs and every attack of theirs uses it. The number on the bomb varies 3, 2, 1, and 0 where it explodes and hurts the victim even more. The first attack the evil menace flies into the air over a bro. and drops it. Halfway in the top screen means Luigi, All the way top means Mario. It can be countered with the hammer. Every counter or hit makes the bomb lose one number. If it hits zero it will explode in the fly guy's hand and damage it. The other is to rock back and forth then throw it. The number is times it rocks depends on who gets hit. If it immediately throws it, it will be to Luigi, 2 rocks Mario, 3 rocks Luigi, and so on. This can only be DODGED by jumping.
They also appeared if the player caused a Boom Guy to lose its launcher. A pair of red Fly Guys will drop a new one on its head. The same thing applies for Elite Boom Guys except the Fly Guys are blue.
Mario Hoops 3 on 3
Fly Guy appeared in Mario Hoops 3 on 3 as a playable Tricky player.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Fly Guys were featured in the Yoshi's Island stage. They are usually holding some kind of food. If they are attacked they will drop the food the are holding, or if they are not holding any food, will just fly away. A Fly Guy also appeared as a Sticker, depicting its artwork from Mario Power Tennis.
