Fly Guy

Appearance of Fly Guys in Super Smash Bros. Melee. and 64

Appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Note the changes; these are actually a more accurate portrayal of Fly Guys.

Fly Guys is a subspecies of Shy Guy from the Marioverse. Erroneously, these have been named 'Shy Guys' in Smash games. Most of them wear propellers over their heads to enable flight, others are named differently and use items like balloons or insect wings.

In Super Smash Bros. series

In Super Smash Bros.

In Super Smash Bros., they flew back and forth in the background of the Yoshi's Island stage, sometimes with a fruit.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

They got a more noteworthy appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee. They appeared as enemies on the Yoshi's Story stage carrying food and were even featured on the Shy Guy trophy. The fly guys can be hit or perhaps knocked out with an attack. Doing this will make them drop whatever type of food they are holding. The stage Yoshi's Island from Super Smash Bros. was also converted into Melee and renamed Past Stage: Yoshi's Island, still included with the Fly Guys.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl Fly Guys reappear as background characters in their Yoshi's Island design on the Yoshi's Island stage. Like in melee, they were able to be hit with attacks and knocked out, but they did not carry any food ^{(citation needed)}. Their general purpose is to interrupt projectiles.
