Editing Anti Guy

{{:Paper Mario bestiary|transcludesection=Anti Guy|image=[[File:PM Anti Guy idle.gif]]}}
An '''Anti Guy''' is a gray-colored [[Shy Guy]] that appears in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It is also known as the '''Deadly Guy''' due to the fact that its attacks are extremely powerful. It is one of the strongest non-boss enemies that [[Mario]] can battle against, second only to the [[Amazy Dayzee]], and even then, an Anti Guy has much higher HP.

In the game, Mario first encounters an Anti Guy inside the [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]]. This Shy Guy is guarding a [[Treasure Chest|treasure chest]] containing a [[Power Plus (badge)|Power Plus]] [[Badge]]. If spoken to, it demands Mario to keep away, but the player can engage it in battle and get the Badge by beating it.  Later, in [[Bowser's Castle]], the second of three [[Guard Door]]s gives Mario a quiz. If Mario gets five questions correct in the quiz, he can pass. However, if he gets three questions incorrect, he has to face three Anti Guys at once, known as the '''Anti Guys Unit'''.<ref>'''Guard Door:''' ''Prepare for battle! Anti Guys Unit! Attack!''</ref><ref>'''Guard Door:''' ''Oh, but...no! NO!! You beat the Anti Guys Unit?!!''</ref>

Instead of fighting the Anti Guy in Shy Guy's Toy Box, Mario can instead bribe the Shy Guy to leave by giving it a [[Lemon Candy]], allowing Mario access to the Power Plus Badge. However, if Mario does this, he is no longer able to fight the Anti Guy.

In battle, an Anti Guy attacks the same way as regular Shy Guys, by jumping on Mario or tackling him, except their attacks are much more powerful.
