Talk:Bandit
Sub-Species
How the heck are Bandits related to Shy Guys? Hello, I'm Time Turner.
- Well, this is another one of the many conjectures in this wiki --

- I wonder how many of these conjectures are out there. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
- They both wear robes and cover their faces with a mask (or their faces are masks). Development-wise, they're clearly inspired by the previous Shy Guys, but any suggestion of in-universe relation would be speculatory. Logical speculation, but still speculation. Redstar 12:24, 3 December 2009 (EST)
- Shy Guy's mask is a mask. Bandit's mask is a face. In Mario Power Tennis, whenever Shy Guy won a trophy, he'd trip, which makes his mask fall off his face. Bandit's "mask" changes expressions with ease, so I doubt it's a mask. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
- That's why I acknowledged the possibility. But, just like Bandit, Shy Guy's have had their masks be emotive as well, though not as much as Bandit. Regardless, it very much looks like a mask, and since we know Shy Guys have masks and Bandits were more than likely based off of Shy Guys, there's a strong sense they're masks as well. Besides, looking at the images on the actual article shows straps around the head that meet with the mask/face. Redstar 12:41, 3 December 2009 (EST)
- I guess you have a point about the mask part. You know, I think that one of the NPC Bandits from the Paper Mario says something about his mask or face. I'm not sure, though. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
- Probably. I might be playing through Paper Mario again soon, so I can keep a look out for it... I just noticed that the Tattle information at the bottom of the page for Paper Mario says "face". There's a lot of contradicting information about this, isn't there? Would make a fun "controversy" section... Here's a thought: what if his face is a mask? Redstar 12:51, 3 December 2009 (EST)

- In case it matters any, ボロドー (Bandits) are described as wearing white masks similar to those of ヘイホー (Shy Guys) on Japanese Wikipedia, but Shy Guys aren't mentioned anywhere else in the article. However, a link to the article on Shy Guys does appear in the related links at the bottom.--vellidragon 12:54, 3 December 2009 (EST)
- You keep bringing up "Japanese Wikipedia"... Where does it get its sources, because I'd like to know those more. Redstar 12:58, 3 December 2009 (EST)
- Yeah, bring us some clarification. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Bandits showing their faces?
"In some cases, Bandits will show their faces while hiding if Yoshi isn't looking at them." I haven't played Yoshi's Island DS, so maybe they do that in that game, but in the original game, they merely turn their heads left and right when you're not looking at them. Can anyone confirm that they show their faces in any Yoshi game?--vellidragon 14:46, 20 December 2009 (EST)
AGE&Height and Weight
Age: He doesn't look like a child and a adult. So He is probably mid-teen(14~15)
Height: Maybe he is 5 feet. Because he is a smaller than mario.
Weight: He looks so thin. I think he is 30 ~35kg.

- Uh, what does that have to do with anything vellidragon is trying to say?
Yeah, and look at their cute cartoony eyes. They look the same. Bomberman had the same eyes as them. I think Bandits doesn't look like Bomberman.
What in the mushroom world are you two saying?Hello?Velli is trying to ask a question here?We're not here to talk about cute eyes and cartoons.
Count Bonsula I need blood...
- Ignoring the other idiots, I can confirm that they never reveal their faces. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
The faces on masks doesn't make them the proper population of the world. I wish there is the another Mario game with the Bandit in it. I can tell they never reveal faces in later games.
Proof of Sub-Species?
In Yoshi's Island DS, they are not in the Shy Guy variety exhibit of the enemy museum. Wouldn't this indicate that they are unrelated to Shy Guys? LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:26, 9 October 2014 (EDT)
2 DT Bandits???
If you look in the Dream Team section, than you find 2 Bandits. Bandit #2 shouldn't be there because I read in the Prima Games guide that the 2nd Bandit appears only in the background. I know the guide told the stats of Somnom Woods Bandit, but if you look closely, than you will see that that Bandit has it's stats copied from Beehoss. The 2nd Bandit appears in the background holding a Golden Egg, and when you throw a Taunt Ball at him, he runs away. So, you don't fight it. 98.16.11.4 10:08, 21 January 2015 (EST)
That you don't fight it under normal circumstances doesn't change that it still appears as an enemy, so that's no real reason to remove it. --Lord Grammaticus (talk) 16:50, 21 January 2015 (EST)
Bandits are not Shy Guys

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment. |
Appearances alone are not enough to claim that Bandits are a subspecies of Shy Guys. Considering the discussion at the top and LTL's comment, would anyone complain if I started making edits to remove this? Hello, I'm Time Turner.
