A {{nihongo|'''Shy Guy'''|ヘイホー|Heihoo}} is a fictional species present in the [[Mario series|''Mario'' series]] of [[video game]]s. They are also the most common enemies found in the [[Yoshi]] series.
==History==
The Shy Guy was created as an enemy for the Japanese game ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', which was transformed into ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' for an American release. Most enemies, including [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Snifit]]s, and Shy Guys, were unchanged from the original [[Japan]]ese version, and are now instantly recognizable as [[Mario]]'s enemies, despite having been created for a game completely unrelated to Mario. While ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is revealed to have taken place entirelytook place in the dreamworld, Subcon, but Shy Guys are later revealed to have existed on ''[[Yoshi's Island]]'' since Mario was a baby, long before ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' takes placeppeared in the real world starting from ''[[Yoshi's Island]]'', which chronologically predates all the other Mario games. Since appearing in Yoshi's Island, they have become even more part of the Yoshi series than with the Mario series. There are many different types of Shy Guys amongst the various Mario related games.
