Shy Guy

Shy Guys, alternatively formatted as Shyguys, Shy-Guys, or ShyGuys, are common enemies in the Mario and Yoshi franchises. They are recognizable by their masks, which they wear due to their shyness.

Shy Guys made their first appearance in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, a non-Mario game; they were later carried over to the Mario universe when Super Mario Bros. 2 was created. Shy Guys are especially common in spinoff games, but are comparatively rare in the mainline Super Mario series. They are voiced by Treehouse member Nate Bihldorff.
