- This article is about the pogo stick-using enemy from Yoshi's Story. For the similar bouncing Shy Guy from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, see Shyster.
A Hopping Heihō is a species of pogo stick-using Shy Guys that make its first and so far only appearance in Yoshi's Story, where they are first encountered in Rail Lift. Most Hopping Heihō merely stand in a specific spot and jump over and over.
Unlike Stilt Guys, Hopping Heihō do not need to be dismounted from their ride to be attacked and thus can be defeated by throwing a Yoshi Egg at the exposed Shy Guy or swallowing it. Also, much like normal Shy Guys, the color of the rider can be changed by Ground Pounding near it.
