Origin A pair of Shy Guys as they appear in Super Mario Bros. 2. Shy Guys first appeared as common enemies in the Japan-only game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, repurposed as Super Mario Bros. 2 for international markets. They simply walk around, and like most other enemies can be picked up and thrown. They often appear in spin-off Mario games with several roles. Starting with Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island they became the basic common enemy in the Yoshi games. They invoke a certain amount of mystery: there is no face under their mask. In Super Smash Bros. Melee Propeller Shy Guy, a subspecies of Shy Guys, appear as a trophy. For whatever reason, they are called Shy Guys. Trophy description The Shy Guys trophy in Melee There are many types of Shy Guys: they've been known to walk on the ground, fly through the air, traipse about on stilts, wear flowers or camouflage, throw balls, swing balls, swing bats, sail on pirate ships, carry fruit, do the Bamboo Dance, ride submarines, play guitar, play tennis, wear red, come in large or small sizes, steal people's toys, cause mischief... Super Mario Bros. 2 [10/88] In Super Smash Bros. Brawl Shy Guys drive karts as Mute City-style hazards on the Mario Circuit stage, that inflict 15%/10% damage to a character when contact is made. They can be hit with attacks or items; once defeated, they start spinning out of control, becoming harmless. The Shy Guys on the track. Bowser and Wario clearing the way for the racing Shy Guys.

Trophy description The Shy Guy trophy in Brawl A character in a white mask with black eyes and mouth that appears in a number of Mario and Yoshi games. Although Shy Guys' actions are varied--from flying to carrying objects--their true faces are still a mystery. If only for an instant, who wouldn't want to see an unmasked Shy Guy?

Two Shy Guys attacking in a Challenge room. Shy Guys appear as stage hazards on Rainbow Road, where, similar to their role in Mario Circuit, they drive karts which can hurt characters. Unlike in Mario Circuit, though, they can't be attacked. Light blue, yellow, red, and green Shy Guys appear in Smash Run as enemies. Light blue Shy Guys have more health, red ones deal more damage, green ones are faster, and yellow ones jump higher. Each type of Shy Guy drops stat boosts related to its specialty: Defense, Attack, Speed, and Jump respectively. Trophy description Red Shy Guy What hides behind that smooth, white mask? Shy Guys aren't about to show you, that's for sure. In Smash Run, each color of Shy Guy has different characteristics, and the red ones are the best at attacking. They've learned how to deliver a combo of angry punches if they can get close enough! These bashful baddies are so shy that no one's ever seen their real faces. Since their debut, all kinds of different Shy Guys have come out of the woodwork, and in Smash Run, each colour has its strengths. The red ones are better at attacking and hit you with punch combos. Beat them to get your hands on some Attack stat boosts. Blue Shy Guy These guys are too shy to show you their real faces, so they hide them behind white masks. Some people claim they've seen Shy Guys walking on stilts or even running around on fire! In Smash Run, the blue Shy Guys have better defense than other Shy Guys, but that really isn't saying much... Just what IS beneath this Shy Guy's mask? Could it be...another mask?! Anyway, Shy Guys come in lots of varieties: some walk on stilts, others are always on fire! In Smash Run, these blue ones have better defence than the others. It's only slightly better, though, so don't worry. Defeat them to get yourself some Defence stat boosts. Yellow Shy Guy Those white masks are just eerie, but it's possible they are better than what actually hides behind them... Anyway, some people claim to have seen tall Shy Guys with longer masks than normal. In Smash Run, yellow Shy Guys are great jumpers, so they'll drop Jump stat boosts when defeated. Did you know there are lots of different kinds of Shy Guy, including massive ones with giant masks? In Smash Run, yellow Shy Guys are slightly better at jumping than the others. Sometimes, though, they're just too busy bouncing to attack. Take them down to get Jump stat boosts. Green Shy Guy Perhaps the white mask just conceals another, whiter mask beneath? There is no way to know, as these shy fellows will never take them off. In Smash Run, the green Shy Guys can run faster than other Shy Guys. You'll have to be quick to catch them, but you'll be rewarded with Speed stat boosts! Their white masks certainly make them look the same, but on the inside, Shy Guys are very different - some dream of being soldiers or dancers! In Smash Run, the green ones are fast on their feet, so they're quick to close in and hit you with a punch combo. Deal with them to get Speed stat boosts. Shy Guy + Standard Kart Shy Guy makes his debut as a racer in Mario Kart 7 once you win the 150cc Shell Cup. He's a lightweight racer with superb handling. Watch out for the eight Shy Guys racing around the Rainbow Road stage—they'll happily run you over if you get in their way! Shy Guy makes his debut as a selectable character in Mario Kart 7, and all you have to do to unlock him is win the 150cc Shell Cup. He's lightweight, like Toad and Koopa, and has excellent handling.
