Coal Guys are a variant of Shy Guy that appear in Paper Mario: Color Splash. Coal Guys appear in stacks of five, and they hold a cube-shaped piece of coal. While they are holding the coal, they are protected against most standard attacks (even in unintuitive scenarios[1]), instead dealing damage to the coal instead. The coal blocks are especially durable, but will visibly crumple, become wobbly at low durability,[2] and break apart when enough damage is dealt. Specific Battle Cards such as POW Blocks,[3] Blazehammers,[4] and Fire Flowers can be used to destroy the coal more easily. They can get new coal if Mario takes too long to defeat them. Coal Guys usually attack by throwing their coal on Mario, which can deal up to 80 damage.[5] However, this is proportional to the amount of damage the coal had taken beforehand. If the coal is destroyed before they can attack, they will attack like a standard Shy Guy stack for 1 turn.[6][7] Coal Guys are encountered in Toad Trainworks and Sunset Express. Coal Guys can be summoned by Larry Koopa to assist him in his battle against Mario.
