'''Shy Guys''' ({{ja|ヘイホー|Heihō}}, ''Heiho'') are [[enemies]] from the {{uv|Mario}} and {{uv|Yoshi}} series.

==Origin==
[[File:Shy Guy SMB2 origin.png|left|thumb|A pair of Shy Guys as they originally appeared in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.]]
Shy Guys made their debut in the Japan-only game ''{{s|mariowiki|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic}}'' (repurposed as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' for international markets) as a common enemy, and have become a common enemy in later ''Mario'' games. They are humanoid enemies who wear robes and a white mask that features two large eyeholes and a round mouth hole. Their robes also appear in a variety of colors, with red being the most common.

Shy Guys are also known for being highly secretive about their true appearance, desperately trying to hide themselves in the few times their mask falls off. In Shy Guy's celebration cutscene in ''Mario Power Tennis'', [[Luigi]] accidentally sees the face of that Shy Guy, making him the only character known to have seen the face of one. The ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Strikers|series}}'' series also shows that Shy Guys have several masks that display different emotions, which they swap between when they need to. Shy Guys are typically antagonistic and/or incompotent, but can be shown on occasion to be friendly or even brave, with the most notable example of both qualities being exemplified by {{iw|mariowiki|White Shy Guy}} in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}'', who will venture into Baby Bowser's castle to rescue Yoshis who have been kidnapped if he is found on a level.

In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Shy Guys are mostly known for walking around and damaging the player on contact. Shy Guys can be defeated by grabbing them and throwing them against another enemy or into a nearby pitfall. Starting with ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}'' they became the basic common enemy in the ''Yoshi'' games.

Shy Guys often appear in spin-off ''Mario'' games with several roles. They made their playable debut in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Tennis 64}}''. They also appear in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart DS}}'' and ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart 7}}'' in download play multiplayer, where players without the respective games can only play as Shy Guy in their Standard Kart, marked with the emblem of their mask. While in ''Mario Kart DS'' they're playable only in download play, starting with ''Mario Kart 7'' they're playable normally as well.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
===As a stage element===
[[Propeller Shy Guy]]s, a subspecies of Shy Guys, appear in the [[Yoshi's Story]] stage, flying across the screen in groups at random intervals. They cannot harm the players, but can be damaged. Some of them carry [[food]] (unless food items are disabled), which they will drop when they get KO'd, which will result in the player receiving a Shy-Guy KO bonus where the player receives 20 points for each Shy Guy KO'd.

===Trophy===

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===As a [[stage hazard]]===
Shy Guys on their Standard Karts appear as stage hazards on the [[Figure-8 Circuit|Mario Circuit]] stage. They drive their Standard Kart around the track and inflict 15%/10% damage  to the player's fighter on contact. They can be hit with attacks or items; once defeated, they start spinning out of control, becoming harmless.

===As a stage hazard===
[[File:ShyGuysinRainbowRoad.jpg|thumb|left|Shy Guys in ''for 3DS'' on Rainbow Road.]]
In {{for3ds}}, Shy Guys on Standard Karts appear as stage hazards on the [[Rainbow Road]] stage, reprising their role from the [[Figure-8 Circuit|Mario Circuit]] stage in ''Brawl''; however, Shy Guys cannot be attacked, and they appear in a variety of colors.
{{clrl}}

[[File:SSB4 - Mario Circuit Image 3.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Shy Guys in the [[Mario Circuit]] stage in ''for Wii U'']]
In {{forwiiu}}, Shy Guys on Standard Karts appear as stage hazards for the returning [[Figure-8 Circuit|Mario Circuit]] stage and the new [[Mario Circuit]] stages. They cannot be attacked in the latter stage.
{{clrl}}

===As an enemy===
[[File:Shy Guys Smash Run.jpg|thumb|left|Two Shy Guys attacking in a Challenge room.]]
Shy Guys appear as enemies in [[Smash Run]], appearing in different colored robes, including red, yellow, green, and light blue. Each different color of Shy Guy features a different attribute, with red Shy Guys dealing more damage, yellow Shy Guys jumping higher, green Shy Guys being faster, and light blue Shy Guys having more health. 

When the player's fighter approaches them, Shy Guys will jump in place a few times before charging at the player while flailing their arms. Each type of Shy Guy drops stat boosts related to their colors and specialty, including Attack, Jump, Speed, and Defense respectively.
{{clrl}}

===Trophies===
The Shy Guy trophy appears in both versions and is part of the ''Yoshi's Island'' [[Trophy Box]] in the Wii U version. All other trophies are exclusive to the 3DS version.

|desc-3ds-ntsc=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!
|desc-wiiu-ntsc=These bashful baddies are so shy that no one's ever seen their real faces. They debuted in Doki Doki Panic before becoming a Mario series mainstay when that game was reworked into Super Mario Bros. 2. They come in different colors, each with unique characteristics. Some can walk on stilts; others are always on fire!
|desc-3ds-pal=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.

|desc-ntsc=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...
|desc-pal=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.

{{Trophy

|desc-ntsc=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.
|desc-pal=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.

{{Trophy

|desc-ntsc=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!
|desc-pal=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.

|desc-ntsc=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!
|desc-pal=Shy Guy makes his debut as a selectable racer 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. The Rainbow Road stage has eight Shy Guys whizzing around the track, so be careful not to get hit, or you'll go speeding off the stage!

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a stage hazard and stage element===
[[File:SSBU-Mario Circuit (SSBB).png|thumb|left|200px|Shy Guys on the [[Figure-8 Circuit]] stage in ''Ultimate''.]]
Shy Guys return as stage hazards for the returning [[Figure-8 Circuit]] and [[Mario Circuit]] stages, and as a stage element on the returning [[Yoshi's Story]] stage, reprising their behaviors from the previous games.

===As a [[Mii Costume]]===
[[File:SSBU Shy Guy Mask.jpg|100px|thumb|left]]
The Shy Guy serves as the basis for the Shy Guy Mask headgear for the [[Mii Fighter]]s.
{{clrl}}

===Spirit===
Shy Guy also appears as a Novice-class [[primary spirit]] and is featured in the {{h2|List of spirits (Yoshi series)|Roger the Potted Ghost}} spirit.

In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Shy Guy is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. Geno's spirit is located in the hill section of [[The Light Realm]].

Shy Guy's Spirit Battle uses the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}, {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}, and {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} puppet fighters wearing the Shy Guy outfit and is fought on the [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] stage's [[Battlefield form]]. During the battle, Throwing Type items will appear while the puppet fighters use neutral specials, referencing the projectiles launched by the similar-looking Snifit enemies.

In the Roger the Potted Ghost Spirit Battle, two Shy Guys each use a {{SSBU|Meta Knight}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Dracula's Castle]] stage's [[Ω form]]. They are fought along with the [[Giant]] {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}} puppet fighter representing Roger the Potted Ghost. During the battle, the player must defeat the Wii Fit Trainer in one minute and the fighters' jumping power are decreased, referencing the ground-based boss battle against Roger in ''Yoshi's Island''.
