Template:Species-infobox Mask-Guys[1] are enemies encountered in the game Virtual Boy Wario Land. Three Mask-Guys are seen in the game's opening cut-scene, where Wario catches sight of them carrying treasure chests into a cave behind the Aldegara Waterfall. Following them, he sees the Mask-Guys storing treasure into a vault in the cave's wall. Wario then overcomes the creatures with a Barge, and turns his attention on the treasure. However, the floor starts to crumble out from beneath him, and he falls into a precipice deep within the earth. In the game's manual, Wario "vows revenge" on these creatures, saying "I will get their treasure!!!".
During gameplay, the Mask-Guy species are one of the more common enemies in the game, appearing in most of the levels (with the exception of underwater stages). They are able to harm Wario with the spear protruding out from the creature's mask, and will charge at a high speed if they catch sight of Wario, harming him if he comes in contact with the point of the sharp spear.

Unlike most species of masked enemies within the Mario series of games, the player is able to see what is underneath a Mask-Guy's mask. Wario can achieve this by bumping the creature from behind, without the power of a Barge. Its mask will then slip off and slide a short distance away. The Mask-Guy will then rush to retrieve the mask. Wario is able to pick up the mask and use it as an object to throw. If the Mask-Guy is not able to retrieve its mask, it will defeat itself.
A separate enemy, Flame Mask-Guy, resembles regular Mask-Guys, although with spikes over its body and being able to release flames from its nose. Wario is also able to remove the mask from these creatures: the form that they take without a mask is identical to that of a regular Mask-Guy.
