Shy Guy debuted in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, released in the West as Super Mario Bros. 2 in 1988, and has stayed a fan favourite across the Mario series ever since, with a voice that is instantly recognisable to players. Beach settings keep pairing well with the character in memes and edits, so fan-made clips like this one combine the two. Searchers mostly type simple phrases such as shy guy sounds, looking for a quick clip to drop into videos, which keeps these short fan edits circulating on soundboard sites year after year.
