Shyndelier, Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)

Shyndeliers (originally called Chandeli-hos) are a type of Shy Guy in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. After the Smithy Gang's takeover in Bowser's Keep, the Shyndeliers replace Chaindeliers as holders of the big chandeliers in the keep.

Shyndeliers are seen in the battle against Boomer. After Mario defeats Boomer, Boomer cuts off his Shyndelier's connection to the chandelier and falls down with it. The Shyndelier holding the chandelier with Mario and his party on it then takes them up to the highest tower of the keep to battle Exor. In the Nintendo Switch version, the Shyndeliers are seen again holding the chandelier when the battle room is visited again.

If the original game is hacked to give a party member a speed above 200 in the battle with Boomer, it is possible to target Chandeli-ho (who may have once been a planned enemy). In the English version, it is referred to as the more Western "Hangin' Shy," while in the Japanese version, the name is blanked. Its thought is "Minimum wage for THIS?!" in the English version, which is shared with Booster's Snifits, while it has a unique line in the Japanese version.
