All Shy Guys (with the minor exception of General Guy) wear robes that can be red, pink, blue, yellow, green, black, or white. They are all fairly short and all wear masks | All Shy Guys (with the minor exception of General Guy) wear robes that can be red, pink, blue, yellow, green, black, or white. They are all fairly short and all wear masks, it is unknown what is behind them . In the intro movie of ''Mario Power Tennis'', Luigi sees a Shy Guy without his mask on and is shocked at the sight. In ''Luigi's Mansion'', Luigi can use the [[Poltergust 3000]] to pull the mask off Shy Guy Ghosts. These faces are pure blackness with two glowing yellow eyes. It is unknown whether this is what a Shy Guy's face looks like when it is alive, or if the Shy Guy Ghosts are even actual Shy Guys, as they are not actually ghosts. They, like the game's other generic ghosts, were imitations created by [[Vincent Van Gore]]. | ||
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 eyeholes are closed, supporting this fact. Also, the [[Bandit]] sub-species 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 shown when Bandit wins in ''Super Mario World 2'' minigames even suggests that he is able to stick out his tongue. Also, ''Super Mario RPG''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Shy Guys' eyeholes 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 [[Cannibal Guy]]s are perfectly capable of moving their mouthholes when chanting and singing, as ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' shows. Most recently, in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', Shy Guys have been shown to yet again to be perfectly able to change the expressions on their masks. However, most information suggests that Shy Guy's mask is indeed a mask, and what he hides behind it is surely something very dark and secret. | It is also possible that the Shy Guys' so-called "masks" are not masks at all, but rather faces.
