'''Shy Guy's Perplex Express''' is one of the six boards in the first [[Wii]] installment of the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party Series]]'': ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. The board is situated inside the actual locomotive cars (so places like the kitchen can be visited), on the cars' rooves and on the railway, in the countryside. The locomotive is driven by a [[Shy Guy]] and the train cars themselves are inhabited by [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa]]s and [[Little Mouser]]s. [[Magikoopa]]s can also come and move the cars to the back of the train as well. [[Bandit]]s are also make an appearance when a player lands on a [[? Space]]. There is also a [[Bowser Train]]. If the player gets to to [[Bowser]] during this event, he will take away one star. There is also a [[DK Train]], and [[DK]] will meet the player there to give them a star for free.
'''Shy Guy's Perplex Express''' is one of the boards from ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. The board is consited of the inside and the top of the train's locomotive cars (there is also a secret area called the [[Payday Waystation]]). The locomotive is driven by a [[Shy Guy]] conductor and the train cars themselves are inhabited by [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa]]s, and more Shy Guys (like cooks and the ones who run the Candy Shops). The objective on this board is to get to the front of the train, where the Shy Guy conductor will give [[Star]]s away for 20 coins. It's another one-way board, but in a loop, like a race track. So, as such, speed is just as important as getting coins.


If a player lands on the single Lucky Space on this level, he/she will be dropped off at a secret station called [[Payday Waystation]]. There are a few blue spaces that will give the player 3 coins when they pass them. At the end, there is a Shy Guy that will give the player a Star for free. After that, the player will be dropped off at the start.
Players who land on a [[DK Space]] will cause the train to be switched with [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Barrel Train]]. Like [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]], the player who makes it to DK and get a free Star is not always the player that landed on the space. Shy Guy's train comes back after DK's done. When players land on a [[Bowser Space]], [[Bowser]] will come on his [[Bowser Train|"Bad Breath Express"]]. Again, it works like DK, but with players losing a Star.


==Playing Style==
Landing on the [[? Space]] in front of [[Holly Koopa]] will make her take a peice of candy from the player in exchange for coins. The ? Space in front of the Shy Guy chef's heat vent will cause the player to be sucked up to the roof of the train (and vice versa for the ? Space in front of the vent on the roof). Another ? Space on the roof will make the Shy Guy conductor come and ask for the player's assistance. He'll inform the player that Holly Koopa's candy was stolen, and say that either [[Bandit]] or [[Mowz]] done it. The player must then choose a car where they think the perpetrator is. If they're right, Shy Guy will reward them with 20 coins (10 in Duel Mode). Other ? Spaces will cause [[Magikoopa]] (not [[Kamek]] because he sounds different) to appear and use his magic to move the front car to the back of the train, and move the other cars upward to the front.
The player plays almost the same as [[Pagoda Peak]]. They run from the back of the train, to the front of the train. But when the player pays to get the star, he/she get on the train, and travel back to start. Then they try it all over again. There are many train cars too. Reach Shyguy at the front of the train to pay Ten coins to get a star.

Shy Guy's Perplex Express is one of the boards from Mario Party 8. The board is consited of the inside and the top of the train's locomotive cars (there is also a secret area called the Payday Waystation). The locomotive is driven by a Shy Guy conductor and the train cars themselves are inhabited by Goombas, Koopas, and more Shy Guys (like cooks and the ones who run the Candy Shops). The objective on this board is to get to the front of the train, where the Shy Guy conductor will give Stars away for 20 coins. It's another one-way board, but in a loop, like a race track. So, as such, speed is just as important as getting coins.

Players who land on a DK Space will cause the train to be switched with Donkey Kong's Barrel Train. Like King Boo's Haunted Hideaway, the player who makes it to DK and get a free Star is not always the player that landed on the space. Shy Guy's train comes back after DK's done. When players land on a Bowser Space, Bowser will come on his "Bad Breath Express". Again, it works like DK, but with players losing a Star.

Landing on the ? Space in front of Holly Koopa will make her take a peice of candy from the player in exchange for coins. The ? Space in front of the Shy Guy chef's heat vent will cause the player to be sucked up to the roof of the train (and vice versa for the ? Space in front of the vent on the roof). Another ? Space on the roof will make the Shy Guy conductor come and ask for the player's assistance. He'll inform the player that Holly Koopa's candy was stolen, and say that either Bandit or Mowz done it. The player must then choose a car where they think the perpetrator is. If they're right, Shy Guy will reward them with 20 coins (10 in Duel Mode). Other ? Spaces will cause Magikoopa (not Kamek because he sounds different) to appear and use his magic to move the front car to the back of the train, and move the other cars upward to the front.
