Anti Guy is a gray Shy Guy encountered inside of Shy Guy's Toy Box, and is one of the six optional mini-bosses of Paper Mario.

Summery[]

Anti Guy is the most powerful Shy Guy known, besides General Guy and his army of Shy Guys. It's best for Players to not to fight him unless Mario has leveled up sufficiently and can withstand a substantial amount of damage. He guards a treasure chest that holds a Power Plus badge.

Strategy & Tips[]

In terms of battle-style and strategy, Anti Guy fights in the same manner to the four colored Shy Guys, he can perform a charge in close-range at Mario, or perform a Jump Kick that if not block, will do high damage and have the crowed cheer for Anti Guy.

Lady Bow is the Player(s) primary partner to go to when confronting the Anti guy. Her Outta Sight is a must have for this situation. For the Anti Guy unit in Chapter 8, when fighting three of them a good tactic is to use Chill Out or Time Out; both of which are effective. Watt's paralysis moves work too. Due to their poor accuracy it will have Players in a tight and uncomfortable spot. Time Out also works better than Watt's paralysis moves. Making it the more effective attack. Chill Out, two Damage dodges and Defend plus badges are also good. Lady Bow's Outta Sight and Fan Smack are recommended here. Bombette's Power Bomb is also highly effective as well as using Mega Quake. remember to bring lots of healing items.

Even though Anti Guy is an optional mini-boss, it is still recommended for Players to fight him after gaining necessary skills so Mario can obtain more Star Points and the Badge inside the chest. One good strategy is to frequently use Bow's "Outta Sight" to prevent damage. Defense boosting badges are also recommended. If fighting Anti Guy isn't possible, he can be drawn away from his treasure chest with Lemon Candy, which is made from a Cake Mix and a Lemon, though doing so will result in Mario not gain a huge amount EXP after defeating Anti Guy.

Anti Guy can be fought again in Chapter 8. At the second Bowser Door, if every question is answered incorrectly, Mario will be forced to battle 3 Anti Guys.
