Variant of Shy Guy Airtub
Shy Guy R

Shy Guy Airtub R is a purple, stronger version of Shy Guy Airtubs with teal cannons and propellers and manned with three Shy Guys R that appears in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. It has enhanced stats and faster attacks. Due to them being background enemies, Shy Guy Airtubs R do not appear on the field, so only a Taunt Ball must be used if Mario and Luigi want to fight them head-on in the instances they appear during battle, which only happens in Kamek's third maze and the third map in Neo Bowser Castle. Defeating a Shy Guy Airtub R lets the player fight three Shy Guys R. This is the only way to fight them. Like Goombas R, Shy Guy Airtubs R drop less coins than their weaker counterpart.

Attacks[edit]

Shy Guy Airtubs R attack differently depending on whether they are in the foreground or the background. When they are in the background, they use the two cannons on one side to fire cannonballs at Mario and Luigi. If a cannonball is fired out of the left cannon, Mario must hammer it back at them. If fired out of the right, Luigi must hammer it back at them. Defeating a Shy Guy Airtub R in the background will make it simply crash there, send the Shy Guys R flying from the crash and into the midst of battle. This does not damage the enemies currently in battle.

If lured into the foreground by a bro throwing a Taunt Ball at them and thus enraging the Shy Guys R, they will make a Shy Guy Airtub R attack by firing two Giant Spiked Balls out of the giant cannon, one at each bro one after another. The majority of the 3 Shy Guys R will point at who will be fired at first. Mario and Luigi must hammer the ball back at the Shy Guy Airtub R in order to do plenty of damage to it. If the Shy Guy Airtub R is defeated through countering this attack, it will crash into the ground; damaging and likely defeating other enemies Mario and Luigi were fighting. This then allows the Bros. to fight the 3 Shy Guys R that were controlling the Shy Guy Airtub R.
