'''Shy Guy's Perplex Express''' is one of the boards from ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. Shy Guy's Perplex Express is set on a moving passenger train, the board consists of the inside and the top of the train's cars (there is also a secret area called the Payday Waystation). The steam locomotive is driven by a [[Shy Guy]] engineer and the train cars themselves are inhabited by [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, and Shy Guys. The objective on this board is to get to the front of the train, where the Shy Guy engineer gives away a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] for 20 [[coin]]s. The board is a one-way board, without junctions. Green Candy cannot be obtained on this board.

Players who land on a [[DK Space]] cause the train to be switched with [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Barrel Train (Mario Party 8)|Barrel Train]]. The player who makes it to Donkey Kong first gets a free Star. In the [[Mario Party 8#Star Battle Arena|Star Battle Arena]], Donkey Kong doubles the player's coin total, depending on the number of coins the player has by the time they get to him. If the player has zero coins, however, he gives them 10 coins instead. Shy Guy's train comes back after Donkey Kong gives a Star away. When players land on a [[Bowser Space]], [[Bowser]] comes on his train, the [[Bad-Breath Express]]. If players meet Bowser, he takes a star away from players. In Star Battle Arena, Bowser steals half of the player's coins. However, when a player comes without no star or coins in Star Battle Arena, Bowser gives the player 10 coins. The [[Lucky Space]] causes the train to stop and let the player off at [[#Payday Waystation|Payday Waystation]], which has many coins and a free Star.

In Star Battle Arena, the winning conditions are to buy a Star for 50 coins from Holly Koopa. Players who meet the conductor get 10 coins from him, if they do not have 50 coins. Only three passenger cars appear in Star Battle Arena.

*If a player lands on the [[Event Space|? Space]] in front of [[Holly Koopa]], she offers to buy one of their Candies for several coins. The number of coins offered is linked to the Candy's cost when bought at a [[Candy Shop]]. Players in low positions (3rd/4th in Battle Royale) receive higher offers than players in high positions.

*Another ? Space on the roof makes the Shy Guy conductor come and ask for the player's assistance. He informs the player that Holly Koopa's candy was stolen, and say that either [[Bandit]] or [[Mowz]] did it. The player must then choose a car where they think the perpetrator is. If they are correct, Shy Guy rewards them with 20 coins (10 only in Star Battle Arena).
