I think monster guy is the most likely. I don't remember the game's name, but there was one where shy guy drops his mask, and Luigi becomes horrified at what he sees.
I like the space one because many people pay no attention to the shy guy as much, keeping him off the sidelines. I love how there's a possibility that he's just hiding a pocket universe under his mask giving some more depth and mystery to this smol lad
To me, the "star face" seems the most likely, like something Nintendo would actually do. I don't think the little fellows literally have a galaxy for a face, though! I mean, my trail of thought is thag since in the Mario's universe, magic is often illustrates by little blinking stars, maybe that's the idea behind the Shyguys: they are simple "husks" animated by magic. That would also explain how variants such as the Snifits generate their projectiles.
The space makes the most sense given all the evidence like the sprite and how in the Mario movie a koopa falls over and faints because he is shocked to see the shy guy without a mask
Number 2 would make the most sense as Luigi was one of the only ones to ever see Shy Guy’s face, and he was terrified Edit: Luigi’s scared by goofy ghosts, you don’t need to give him an existential crisis to make him jump
@@specterknight0542 either that or the gamecube, but you would be terrified if you saw the vast of a universe hiding behind a mask, so either 2 or 3 would work
I seem to remember that one of the developers of Doki Doki Panic, said they wanted the mask to represent the void the shy guys hide, so I think space guy is the most true to this spirit.
"Smile Guy" seems the most realistic in terms of what you would actually see in a Mario game, but all the other options could potentially explain why Luigi was so shocked. Decisions, decisions...
the reason why shy guy keeps that face mask on is because he doesn't want people to get consumed inside his face space and that is why he is shy and stays away from everyone.
I actually think its more like the machine in a hitchhiker's guide to the universe that shows you how small and insignificent you are compared to all of existance... using a piece of fairy cake. You dont die from a glance, but prolonged exposure über-kills you so hard that your soul gets put into a coma.
As a Shy Guy myself, I can confirm that all of these are correct. Behind every mask is something new and unique for every Shy Guy. It's like a guessing game!
Space guy is the best one. The reason why he hides his face too long you start hearing a voice in your head that teaches you the cosmic truths, and he knows they can't handle them.
Plot twist: the face is glitchy because nintendo changed shy guy to not have a real face last minute, but it was too close to release so they just jumbled up the pixels on the sprite
Fun Fact: in Luigi's mansion, there are Shy Guy ghosts that carry spears, but, if their masks are taken off, it shows the "Ghost Guy"'s face, which resembles a Jawa from Star Wars; with two yellow eyes in a dark robe!
Oh no I like all of them… I think the idea of opening up shy guy’s mask and it just being a gateway to the infinite cosmos incredibly funny and relatable tho
Space guy is the best. He is not shy but rather we are not ready. He ascended and now a spiritual being the size of a galaxy compressed in a small body. We're just can't comprehend it yet.
I would imagine Monster Guy would be the real one, because Shy Guy is always scared, but maybe in a horror game, he is angry at you and he is chasing you around the castle maskless.
I personally like Shy Guy 2 the most. Also, it’s more likely that’s how it might look. In one of the Mario Tennis games, the Shy Guy Victory Scene has the Shy Guy trip on the stairs to his “podium” and his mask is apparently revealed to Luigi (Not us) and he seems quite scared regarding what’s under the mask. It’s just a little connection I found.
Monster Guy seems to be the type of monster that looks scary but is actually really shy about what others think of his face, being self-doubtful and thinking his face is ugly.
Bring back two sentence horror. "I always decided to walk to work and back home." "That was, until I realized the horned man decided to follow ME today."
Number 2, although I'm not sure what that means for Toad Town. Shy Guys' Toybox essentially means there's a colony of Eldrich Horrors residing within the box hidden behind that vacant house's wall.
Fun fact; according to an article in the official Nintendo guide you can knock shy guys mask off using a exclusive code that only members have access too. However doing so will result in compleat corruption of your savefile, graphic glitches, and other consequences.
Space Guy is cooler, but realistically it’s probably Robot Guy. Seems like normal in the Mario universe to have socially anxious automaton running around
I’d say Monster guy is the most accurate, considering that Luigi was immediately frightened by a Shy guy when their mask fell off in a Tennis game victory cutscene. Luigi may be the only person to have ever Seen a Shy guy’s true self, and live to tell the tale
As a kid I could have sworn in some magazine they showed what Shy Guys face looked like without his mask. If I remember correctly it was basically the peepa enemy’s face with its tounge stuck out
Space guy has a lovecraftian "horror so incomprehensible that your mind warps and distorts trying to understand what the being is supposed to be" kinda feel
Honestly I prefer the idea of the inside just being a glitchy mess, some kind of area that rends the very fabric of reality as probability becomes improbability and the true nature of reality is shown and promptly shredded
Apparently everyone loves Space Guy?!
Once you see beyond the mask, you see beyond into the universe

I immediately thought of robotics when i saw that sprite so I’m definitely team robot

I'd like to imagine there just an endless void behind the mask

actually I would think there would be a cheeseburger inside
There is. The true unblurry face is a void , it was revealed in a Mario sports game.
space guy looks the most realistic on the picture
I like the space. It gives him more of a mystery.
Space and robot look really good
The robotics make sense because some shy guys get a helicopter blade on ther head and some shy guys get a cannon mask
That's a great point actually!!

Space Guy Looks Great Also SPIT DEM FACTS BOI
Number 3. I like the idea that if you looked behind the mask it'd be like that scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey.
While Monster Guy is very much on-brand with the Lumpy Universe, Space Guy feels like something Nintendo would've done before the Bland Plague hit.

Space guy is the best. He is not shy but rather we are not ready. He ascended and now a spiritual being the size of a galaxy compressed in a small body. We're just can't comprehend it yet.
The Space Guy makes him look more menacing, it feels like he gonna eat us up if we stare too long.
Oh and Side Note: he reminds me of Cosmic Garou.
He knows the secrets of the universe
I like how the endings have gone from characters gently suggesting we subscribe, to hideous monsters threatening us to subscribe
If we don’t subscribe, a 2 ft 3” horror beyond our imagination will come for us.
I love it
you're too talented lumpy
The mask is his face, but he could remove it whenever he wants😂
I would imagine Monster Guy would be the real one, because Shy Guy is always scared, but maybe in a horror game, he is angry at you and he is chasing you around the castle maskless.
Yea
Honestly 3, it works with Shy Guy's personality...silent and distant
Considering how bad Luigi freaked out in Mario Tennis after seeing Shy Guy’s face, probably 2.
Yeah but luigi is a scaredy cat. He could've seen anything and still be scared.

Monster guy. Even Luigi is spooked by what’s under the mask, and look at what he’s dealt with in Luigi’s Mansion.

An endless void, able to consume almost anything, all as someone’s face, isn’t scary?
Monster Guy seems to be the type of monster that looks scary but is actually really shy about what others think of his face, being self-doubtful and thinking his face is ugly.
Agreed, however that also encapsulates shy guy perfectly which is why I like it the best

Smile guy, makes sense to actually see in a Mario game.

Interesting. Maybe Shy Guys are from outer space, related to Rosalina in some way.
