| '''Shy Guys''',<ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' instruction booklet, pg. 28</ref><ref name="Mayhem">''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!'' [[Media:MVDKMLM Shy Guy Help.png|Help Mode]] & Construction Zone</ref><ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars'' Construction Zone</ref> also known as '''Red Mini Shy Guys''',<ref>''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move'' Toy Collection</ref> are [[Shy Guy]] toys appearing in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. They act similarly to Shy Guys from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', simply patrolling left to right on a platform. Touching them from the sides is harmful for both the [[Mini]] toys and [[Mario]]. They are among the weakest enemies in the series and can be defeated with any form of attack available in a game, of which the most commonly seen are [[Hammer]]s. As they are basic enemies, Shy Guys often appear in early levels and only occasionally return in later levels.
| |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', Mario can ride them or pick and throw them at other enemies to defeat them (as in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''). They can also be defeated by throwing another enemy or an object, such as a [[bin]] or [[key]], at them. Shy Guys debut in the [[Level 1-1 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|first level]] of the game, where they patrol areas in front of bins and that can be used to attack them, and continue to appear occasionally in subsequent levels. Exclusively in the [[Spooky House]] boss stage, [[Level 4-DK]], Shy Guys are transformed into [[Polterguy]]s and vice versa by [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Color Switch]]es. Remarkably, throughout the entirety of [[Level x-7]], a Shy Guy needs to be used to cross beds of spikes.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''===
| |
| In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', Minis can ride Shy Guys to safely cross certain hazards, although touching the sides of a Shy Guy (or any other enemy) will instead instantly break a Mini.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!''===
| |
| [[File:SpearGuyMMM.jpg|thumb|left|150px|A Shy Guy in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'']]
| |
| In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', Shy Guys,<ref>"''Shy Guy – Shy Guys prevent Mini Mario from reaching certain areas by patrolling back and forth. Take them out with a hammer, or step on a red color switch to turn them into blocks, allowing Mini Mario to step over them.''" - ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'' help (American English version)</ref> also dubbed '''[[Spear Guy]]s''',<ref>"''Spear Guy – Spear Guys prevent Mini Marios from reaching certain areas by patrolling back and forth. Take them out with a hammer, or step on a red switch to turn them into blocks, allowing Mini Marios to step over them.''" - ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'' help (British English version)</ref> additionally wield spears, but only hold them upright, making them harmful to touch from above. Unique to ''Minis March Again!'', upon activation of a red Color Switch, Shy Guys transform into stationary solid blocks. When in this state, Shy Guys can be used as a step or bridge to cross harmful areas. Shy Guys can be defeated with [[hammer]]s. They first appear in [[Room 2-7 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 2-7]] of [[Sandstone Stroll]], but are more prevalent on the [[Jungle Rumble]] floor.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''===
| |
| Shy Guys revert to their original appearance in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', no longer holding spears. Despite the change, they remain harmful to touch from above, unlike in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''. Shy Guys appear early in the game, starting with [[Area 1-5]] where the player learns that it is possible to destroy enemies using Hammers. In this game, they can also be defeated by shooting into one from a [[Cannon]] or sliding into one from a slope. Later in the game, in [[Super Skywheel]], Shy Guys can fill '''Shy Guy Blocks''', becoming solid platforms.<ref name=Mayhem/>
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars''===
| |
| Shy Guys in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'' act and look the same as in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''. They are also introduced in a similar stance in [[Level 1-3 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars)|Level 1-3]], where the player can pick up a pair of Hammers and destroy the Shy Guy present in the level.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge''===
| |
| In ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', Shy Guys once again appear as enemies. In addition to being vulnerable to Hammers or a slope slide, Shy Guys can be defeated by [[Eat Enemies|eating]] them with [[Mini Yoshi]] or less commonly by being hit with [[Mini Bowser]]'s [[Bowser Bomb (move)|Bowser Bomb]].
