Mace Guys are the Ball 'n' Chain-wielding variant of Shy Guys. They first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and make a majority of their appearances in the Yoshi franchise.

Physical description[]

Mace Guys have an entirely identical appearance to Shy Guys, with the only difference being the mace that they carry. Some Mace Guys carry a larger mace than others.

Appearances[]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[]

Mace Guys are relatively uncommon enemies that appear in only three levels: Sluggy The Unshaven's Fort, Raphael The Raven's Castle, and Ultimate Castle Challenge. Mace Guys attack by swinging their mace at a Yoshi and Baby Mario. If Yoshi is hit, he takes damage, and the Countdown Timer is triggered with Baby Mario in a bubble.

In the Game Boy Advance remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mace Guys also appear in an additional secret level, Endless World of Yoshis.

Yoshi Topsy-Turvy[]

Mace Guys appear as enemies in seven missions.

Yoshi's New Island[]

Mace Guys appear as uncommon enemies throughout the game.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]

Mace Guy appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a sticker, which increases the POW of a fighter's weapon by 22 when equipped.

Trivia[]

  • Despite the official artwork depicting the Mace Guy with a black ball with white spikes, the actual sprite is light blue/white with yellow spikes.
  • Despite the English translation referring to the enemies as 'Mace Guys,' the weapon they wield is actually a flail.
    • The original Japanese name is 鉄球ヘイホ (Tekyū Heihō) which can be translated to 'Wrecking Ball Shy Guy'
