Template:EnemyA Fly Guy is a type of Shy Guy that can fly using a propeller sticking out of its head. They first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They are commonly found carrying items like Red Coins and even bombs. An egg can easily take it out. If eaten and spat back out it will become a regular Shy Guy. Another type of Fly Guy is the Leaf Guys, which are basically Fly Guys with leaves as their propellers. This variety appears only in Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story.
Super Mario series
Super Mario 64 DS
If you jump on the propeller of a Fly Guy they will explode and you can spin in the air. If you eat them as Yoshi, you can breathe fire and earn 2 Coins.
Mario Party series
Fly Guys appear in various mini-games and boards throughout the Mario Party series. Their most notable role was hosting the duel mini-games in Mario Party 5.
Whenever a character used a Duel Capsule or initiate a duel on the board, a Fly Guy would come down to carry them off to the mini-game.
Fly Guys also appear in a handful of mini-games as well. In Mecha-Marathon, the characters must twist a wind-up key in order to initiate their mechanical Fly Guy in the race.
Several Fly Guys also appear in various backgrounds of duel mini-games. In Blown Away, a Fly guy can be seen circling around a tree with a Paratroopa in the background.
Mario & Luigi series
Fly Guys appear in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, where they carry timed bombs in battle. They may also carry Goombas and dropped them on Mario/Luigi's head.
Fly Guys reappear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, behaving similarily to the previous game. This time though, they are able to summon Goombas.
Only a few Fly Guys appear as enemies in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam during specific Paper Toad missions. They do not use Goombas for any of their attacks. Instead, they mostly rely on a bomb they toss back and forth to one another to attack.
Fly Guys appear in the remakes of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. In both games, they only appear in the Minion Quest modes, acting as strong flying soldiers against Ice Bros and Biddybuds.
