First introduced in 1987 in the game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, and subsequently made famous worldwide in Super Mario Bros. 2, Shy Guy — known as Masqueass in the French version — is a recurring enemy in the Mushroom Kingdom and on Yoshi’s Island. Characterised by their pathological shyness, these tiny creatures categorically refuse to reveal their true faces to the world, constantly hiding behind a white mask fastened with a leather strap. Although they have historically been part of Bowser’s or the tyrant Wart’s forces, the Shy Guys come in a multitude of colourful and specialised groups (acrobats, gunners, miners) and have gradually established themselves as essential, playable characters in the franchise’s friendly competitions, such as the *Mario Kart* and *Mario Party* series, as well as the sports spin-offs.
