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 --™ The 'Shroom 12:21, 3 December 2009 (EST)
- 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)
