History

Skating Shy Guys appear in Template:Classic-link, which debuts in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and returns in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as a retro course. The Skating Shy Guys skate around the course on ice skates and occasionally twirl into the air. They also serve as obstacles for the racers, slowing them down if they hit them. They come in blue and red varieties; the blue ones skate by themselves, while the red ones skate together holding hands. Skating Shy Guys reappear in Mario Kart Tour in the stadium section of Vancouver Velocity 2's R and T variants, Vancouver Velocity 3 and GBA Snow Land R, where they skate around the ice, though in Vancouver Velocity 2T, they twirl in one spot instead.

Mario Sports Mix
Shy Guys on skates also appear on the Mario Stadium in Mario Sports Mix, where they reprise their role as hockey goalies from the Nintendo DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olymic Games.
