Rocket Guy

Rocket Guys are a variant of Shy Guy which first appear in Yoshi's Island DS and return in Yoshi's Crafted World. They are essentially regular Shy Guys that hold on to a rocket while traveling around in outer space.
==In Yoshi's Island DS==
Rocket Guys first appear in The Fort of Moltz the Very Goonie, both during the rocket ship segment and in the boss fight against Moltz the Very Goonie. Rocket Guys only appear in one other level, At Last, Bowser's Castle!. During the rocket segments, a Yoshi rides a rocket, like Rocket Guys, which are invincible during these segments. If the Yoshi's rocket crashes into a Rocket Guy's, the Yoshi instantly loses a life.
The only opportunity that the Yoshis have to defeat a Rocket Guy is during the boss fight against Moltz the Very Goonie, who is fought by Yellow Yoshi in particular. Here, whenever Moltz the Very Goonie gets hit, Rocket Guys begin falling from the sky. When this occurs, Yellow Yoshi can use his tongue to eat a Rocket Guy and convert it into an egg. In doing so, eight Rocket Guys are added to the Island Museum, where they appear under the airborne enemy exhibit.
==In Yoshi's Crafted World==
Rocket Guys appear in two boss levels, The Great King Bowser and Kamek Kerfuffle. Unlike in Yoshi's Island DS, if a Yoshi eats a Rocket Guy, its rocket also disappears rather than continue traveling on without the Rocket Guy.
