Spear Guys made their debut in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' as enemies of several levels, mainly jungle levels. They could only be defeated by being hit with an egg or eaten with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s tongue from behind because their shields will block attacks from the front. Spear Guys sometimes have long spears that can make an obstacle for Yoshi to jump over or avoid, as touching any part of the spear can cause Baby Mario to fall off of him and get kidnapped. Other times, Spear Guys stand somewhere off the side of the level where Yoshi travels and quickly poke their spear at him, hurting the dinosaur. | |||

They look similar to their appearance from the original Paper Mario, but they lose their face paint. Here, they show up in [[World 5 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 5]], as common enemies. When the battle starts, a Spear Guy will flip his spear and either hold it vertically or horizontally. If held vertically, Mario cannot perform jumps on the Spear Guy, and if held horizontally, Mario cannot use his Hammer on the enemy. The attacks of Spear Guys are determined by the position in which they hold their spear. If held vertically, the Spear Guy will chuck their spear at Mario. If the spear is held horizontally, the Spear Guy will go in front of Mario and stab him with the weapon. The Spear Guys are still vulnerable to projectiles. Unlike in ''Paper Mario'', if a Spear Guy throws his spear at Mario, it won't become a regular Shy Guy. Spear Guys can assist [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]s., and [[Boomerang Bro]]s. | ||

You'll also get hurt if you try to jump on 'em when the spear's pointing upward. Pay attention to the position of their spears when we attack. Oh yeah, they also sometimes call in reinforcements.
