Trivia
- To date, many Mario fans still speculate how Shy Guys must look under their masks, as they have never took them off. In Mario Power Tennis, when a Shy Guy wins a Singles Tournament, he trips on a step while walking to the podium to take his trophy and his mask falls off, but the player is unable to see it. Judging by Luigi's astonishment upon seeing Shy Guy's face, this may indicate that the face of the Shy Guys are terrifying or strange.
