All Shy Guys (with the minor exception of some Shy Guys from ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'') wear robes that can be red, pink, blue, light blue, yellow, orange, green, [[Woozy Guy|purple]], black, gray, or white. However, in some games such as the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, red Shy Guys are the only color variety seen. They are all fairly short and wear masks with holes on them that represent eyes and a mouth. It is unknown what is behind these masks. However, in Shy Guy's trophy celebration movie in ''Mario Power Tennis'', after Shy Guy trips on one of the steps, his mask falls off, and Luigi sees his face without his mask on and is shocked at the sight. The Shy Guy then quickly puts the mask back on and picks the trophy up, showing it to the audience | All Shy Guys (with the minor exception of some Shy Guys from ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'') wear robes that can be red, pink, blue, light blue, yellow, orange, green, [[Woozy Guy|purple]], black, gray, or white.

The Shy Guy then quickly puts the mask back on and picks the trophy up, showing it to the audience. Sometimes, when Shy Guy's mask falls off, what appears to be a mask strap tends to stay on its head. Also, in ''Luigi's Mansion'', Luigi can use the [[Poltergust 3000]] to pull a mask off a [[Ghost Guy]]. Ghost Guys do not have eyes on their masks, but their faces are completely black with two glowing yellow eyes where the mask's eyes would be. It is unknown whether this is what a Shy Guy's face looks like when it is alive, as they, like the game's other generic ghosts, were imitations created by [[Vincent Van Gore]]. Additionally, in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', a Shy Guy in the [[The Golden Coliseum|Golden Coliseum]] says that [[Mario]] would make a terrible Shy Guy because he has a face, suggesting that Shy Guys do not have a face. | ||
It is also possible that the Shy Guys' so-called "masks" are not masks at all, but rather faces. In ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the sleeping Shy Guy's mask eye holes are closed, supporting this. Also, the [[Bandit]] variant of Shy Guy have been shown to have the ability to change the expressions on their masks as if they were their actual faces. The picture that is shown when Bandit wins in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' [[Mini-Battle]]s even suggests that he is able to stick out his tongue. Also, ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''{{'}}s Shy Guys' eye holes comically spin when the Shy Guy is confused, much like people's eyes do in cartoon gags; the Shy Guys of ''Super Mario RPG'' are also able to blush on their masks. [[Spear Guy]]s and [[Dancing Spear Guy]]s are perfectly capable of moving their mouth holes when chanting and singing, as ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' shows, while [[Boo Guy]]s are shown regularly changing their expressions and blinking. Most recently, in ''Mario Strikers Charged'', Shy Guys have been shown to yet again be perfectly able to change the expressions on their masks. | It is also possible that the Shy Guys' so-called "masks" are not masks at all, but rather faces.

Although Shy Guys generally do not wear much else besides their masks and robes, there are a few instances where they wore additional items. An example of this is in ''Mario Kart Tour'', where a Shy Guy wears a pastry chef hat and a red neckerchief, carrying a whisk. | Although Shy Guys generally do not wear much else besides their masks and robes, there are a few instances where they wore additional items.
