History

The Shyguy began as an enemy in a Japanese game titled Doki Doki Panic. This game never made it to the U.S. in its original form, but was transformed into Super Mario Bros. 2. Most of the enemies in the game were from the Japanese version, which included Bob-ombs, Snifits, and Shyguys. These characters are now instantly recognizable as Mario's enemies, even though they were intended for an entirely different environment. Lately, they've taken refuge in such locales as Yoshi's Island and Shy Guy's Toy Box.

Appearance

Shyguys, as the name suggests, are very shy. They always have masks covering their faces, the only parts not covered are the eyes and mouth. Shyguys can wear different colors, such as red, blue, green, yellow or purple. Their attacks usually consist of simply running into the hero, although some use slingshots. Some varieties, like Snifits and Snufits spit projectiles like the Octorok, while others may catch fire, such as Pyro-guy. They have also come up with some very peculiar inventions over the years, such as walking on stilts, bouncing on pogo-sticks, and piloting submarines. In the Yoshi's Island game, Shyguys could be turned into eggs by Yoshi and it was common for Shyguys to pop out of pipes until Yoshi couldn't make any more eggs.

In Paper Mario (N64), the Shy Guys played an essential role in one of the chapters; the boss, General Guy at the end of Shy Guy's Toy Box had imprisoned the Star Spirit, Muskular. In the Toy Box, several varieties of the Shy Guys are found, including Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink and Green Shy Guys, as well as Medi Guys, Pyro Guys, Sky Guys, Spy Guys, the Gourmet Guy and the Anti Guy.
