HistpryEdit
Yoshi's Island DSEdit
Rocket Guys first appear in Yoshi's Island DS, and are first encountered in outer space, where Yoshi is also in a rocket. The Rocket Guys here are invincible and can make Yoshi's rocket explode on contact, damaging him and forcing him to restart a life. Rocket Guys can only be defeated, and thereby added to the Island Museum, when eaten during the boss battle with Moltz the Very Goonie, where they fall from above after every hit dealt to the boss. Yoshi's Eggs turn the rockets around during the boss battle, and the rockets continue flying even without a rider. They are yellow Shy Guys.
Yoshi's Crafted WorldEdit
Rocket Guys appear during the fight with The Great King Bowser and Kamek Kerfuffle in Yoshi's Crafted World. Unlike Yoshi's Island DS, they are the usual red-robed Shy Guys, and eating them while they are riding their rockets will cause the rockets to stop and be knocked away.
