Shy Guy

Character Synopsis[]

Shy Guys are timid troublemakers and common enemies in the Mario and Yoshi series. They first appear in Mario Bros 2. (Doki Doki Panic in Japan) where they commonly are encountered as enemies. It's common they are placed in the backlines rather than the frontlines due to their importance. The shy guys where created by Wart but then joined Bowser's forces after Wart was defeated by Mario and his friends. Shy Guys are also common characters present in other series such as Yoshi's Island, Mario Kart, Mario Party and many other titles in the Mario franchise. Shy-Guys are most commonly evil, some are good and some are neutral, while some start evil and become good
