Shy Guy

Shy Guys are an enemy in the Mario series that first made its appearance in Super Mario Bros. 2/Doki Doki Panic. He is an enemy of Mario that never shows his face to anyone. Their suits that they wear come in plenty of colors such as Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and White. Over there suit is a white mask that covers there face. Though they made there debut in Super Mario Bros. 2, which is not a Yoshi game, many people say that it is more of a Yoshi enemy than a Mario enemy on the account that he's appeared in almost every platforming Yoshi game, including the recently released Nintendo DS title Yoshi's Island DS, and none other than Super Mario Bros. 2 for Mario.
