Trophy description
- Fly Guy
This enemy from the Yoshi's Island series is basically a Shy Guy with a propeller on its head. It hauls items with it as it flies, so chase it down to claim a reward. Usually it's just food, but sometimes one will have some better prizes. You could say these ones are...pretty fly for a Shy Guy. No? Never mind.
This enemy usually appears in Yoshi's Island. It's basically a Shy Guy, but with a propeller on its head sooo...you could say it's pretty fly for a Shy Guy. No? OK, then.
