Petal Guys[1] (originally known as Mufti Guys[2]) are a type of Shy Guy that wear flowers on their head to disguise themselves. Their petals can come in different colors.

History

Yoshi franchise

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Mufti Guys first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They use flowers to hide by crouching down on the ground so that Yoshi can only see the flowers. When Yoshi gets too close to where they are hiding, they will get up and try to hurt Yoshi. When they get up, they still have flowers on their head.

Yoshi's Island DS

In Yoshi's Island DS, Petal Guys disguise themselves as flower patches and begin to start moving when Yoshi comes close to their hiding spots, similarly to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Yoshi's New Island

Petal Guys return in Yoshi's New Island, acting the same way as they did in previous games and appearing in Don't Fear the Spear. While green-robed variants have artwork, they are absent, as only the regular red-robed ones make an appearance in-game. They hide as a flower bed, and get up to move around when Yoshi approaches them.

Yoshi's Crafted World

In Yoshi's Crafted World, Petal Guys wear flowers made of cardboard instead of actual ones. Only green-robed Petal Guys appear. They can be defeated with Yoshi's jump, but their flowers protect them from all attacks until they reveal themselves.

Mario Party Advance

“Eyes like the ocean, nose like a mountain, mouth like the shining Sun, you are my earth! And I, a lone spaceman, crash into your love.”
Petal Guy, Mario Party Advance

Petal Guy appears in the Shroom City mode of Mario Party Advance, where he is in love with Flutter. When the player arrives at the Petal House, Petal Guy asks the player to deliver his poem to Flutter. However, upon arriving at her floor in the Mushroom Condo, Petal Guy arrives, saying that he was also searching for his love. He then recites the poem, hoping that she will love him, but fails. It is presumed he made some more attempts before giving up. According to the ending, he gave up poetry, and started carpentry.
