| - Shy Guys, known as Heyho (Heihō) in Japan, are enemies in Nintendo's Mario franchise. They are small masked beings that appear in various colors. No one has seen their face, so when their masks get knocked off, they live up to their name by instantly retreating. In Luigi's Mansion, a ghost similar in appearance to them showed their face (shadowed, with yellow eyes) when their masks were removed. They have a wide variety of variations that range from just walking on stilts to piloting submarines. The Fly Guy (Tondariya), who flies via a propeller on his head, is a notable variant, resembling a large garden gnome with a skull-shaped mask. They first appeared in Doki Doki Panic before being converted into the American release of Super Mario Bros. 2.

They first appeared in Doki Doki Panic before being converted into the American release of Super Mario Bros. 2. While they do appear in Mario games as enemies, they are a major element in Yoshi-related games. They are playable in various sport games, such as Mario Tennis, Mario Super Sluggers, Mario Kart DS, Mario Strikers Charged, and Mario Superstar Baseball. They act as guides in the Mario Party series and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. In Mario Power Tennis the Shy Guy's mask falls off. It is not visible to the player, but Luigi appears startled by it.
