Whirly Fly Guys[1] are a rare variety of Fly Guy found in platform games starring Yoshi. They debut in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
History[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]
Whirly Fly Guys are depicted in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake as flashing between several colors. A Whirly Fly Guy is on the ground at first, but starts to fly off slowly when approached. A Whirly Fly Guy cannot be stomped, though it can be swallowed and then spit out to become a green Shy Guy. Whirly Fly Guys are resistant to eggs, as each time a Yoshi either throws one or spits a watermelon seed at a Whirly Fly Guy, a coin appears from it, until the Whirly Fly Guy is hit by enough projectiles, defeating it and earning the player one or two extra lives.
Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]
Whirly Fly Guys reappear in Yoshi Touch & Go. They behave a lot different, hiding in the gross and zooming off into the sky when approached instantly. A Whirly Fly Guy is worth four points if defeated.
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
In Yoshi's New Island, Whirly Fly Guys have a white robe and no longer flash between colors. One is located toward the end of Cave of the Nipper Plants. A Whirly Fly Guy flies away vertically when approached, though the player can earn lives each time they hit the Whirly Fly Guy with an egg until it is defeated.
Profiles[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[edit]
- Player's Guide: These flickering aviators cough up coins when you shell them with eggs.[1]
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]
- Shogakukan guide: 飲みこむか、タマゴを５回当てれば倒せる。タマゴを当てた場合は４回めと５回めにそれぞれ１UPするぞ。[2] (You can defeat it by swallowing it or by hitting it with an egg five times. If you hit it with an egg, the fourth and fifth times you do so will give a 1UP.)
Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]
- Shogakukan guide: 草むらなどに隠れていて、ヨッシーが近づくと、急上昇して去ってしまう。雲の壁を突き破るので、足止めはできない。飛び立つ前にタマゴでねらおう。[3] (It hides in the grass, etc., and when Yoshi approaches it, it rises rapidly and leaves. It is impossible to stop him, as he will break through the cloud wall. Aim for it with eggs before it flies away.)
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
- Shogakukan guide: 点滅するプロペラヘイホー。タマゴをぶつけるか踏むと、１UPの効果が得られる。逃さないように進行方向に回りこみながら、繰り返し攻撃しよう。[4] (A flashing Fly Guy. Hit or step on it for a 1Up increase. To avoid losing them, repeatedly attack them while turning in the direction they are going.)
