Polterguys first appear as enemies in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. Like other enemies in the game, coming in contact with [[Mario]] will cause him to die and lose a life. They cannot be defeated, but they can be turned into blocks when Mario presses a button the same color as the ghosts. This will allow Mario to pass. Polterguys first appear in the [[Spooky House]] world. In the boss stage, [[Donkey Kong]] will hit one of three [[Color Switch]]es to transform two unselected and unheld Shy Guys into Polterguys; these versions have auras and move in a different attack pattern. | |||
Polterguys | |||
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', they appear in the [[Spooky Attic]] stage. They function like in the last game for the most part, though now they are enemies to the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] toys, who serve as the game's playable characters. Once again, they can be turned into blocks when a certain button is pressed. This technique can be used to solve puzzles on the stages they appear. In the [[Construction Zone]], Polterguys can be used in the Spooky Attic and [[Special Kit 3]] sets. The latter allows them to interact with the game's new [[Mini Donkey Kong]] toys. | |||
Polterguys | In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', Polterguys appear upright and have active wind-up keys on their backs like their walking counterparts. They also have a spherical aura of fire similar to [[Pyro Guy]]s rather than transparent bodies, which also resembles their boss stage appearance from the first game. In addition, they remain in the same spot rather than move in a given pattern, even though they turn to face [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s. They are first encountered in [[Room 4-5 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 4-5]]. | ||
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', Polterguys appear as enemies that Donkey Kong summons in [[Area 4-DK]]. | |||
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong | |||
The name "Polterguy" is based on [[wikipedia:Poltergeist|poltergeist]], referring to its somewhat spectral appearance. | |||
