-->The Boss? I was the Boss of these things? I held up a hand to stop an answer that I somehow knew was coming, "Just tell me one thing." They waited as I tried to form the right words, but how could I ask them to prove that they were real? That I wasn't somehow hallucinating.\\

[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/shy-girl-a-worm-mario-crossover.271510/ Shy Girl, A Worm/Mario Crossover]] is, as the title suggests, a crossover between ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' and ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', in which Taylor becomes the Boss of the Shy Guys, and becomes the bail bondswoman cape "Shy Girl".

!!Tropes:
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Taylor's pet Chomp Nippy.
* AmbiguousRobots: InUniverse, the main theory is that Taylor/Shy Girl is a Tinker and her Guys are advanced robots.
* TheChosenOne: Apparently Taylor was the one destined to be the Boss of the Shy Guys, have been waiting for her for years.
* TheDreaded: Mario to the Guys, who treat him as if he's a HumanoidAbomination.
* HiveMind: The Guys have this. Any time they need a new type of Guy that doesn't currently exist, they can create it out of the collective knowledge they have.
* PunchClockVillain: The Shy Guys had no particular loyalty to Bowser, merely serving
* SuperpowerLottery: Taylor is in command of the Guys, Chomps, and Boos, with all that entails.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted with Psyche Guy, the therapist Guy Taylor creates to help with her mental issues. It is noted that she should see a non-Guy therapist at some point though.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: The sheer amount of information in the Shy Guy HiveMind did a mental whammy to Taylor, and while the Guys did a fairly good job patching her together, she's still got a few problems as a result.
* {{Womanchild}}: Taylor has shades of this due to the mental damage caused by linking up to the Shy Guy HiveMind.
