1 | [[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". |

3 | Anything after the beginning of 2-1 may be marked as spoilers. |
4 | ---- |
5 | !!Tropes: |
6 | * AdaptationalBadass: Bob-ombs in Mario canon will have a blast radius of about 5-6 times their diameter (as of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2''). The ''non-lethal paint bob-ombs'' in ''Shy Girl'' are strong enough to be mistaken for a ''terrorist attack'', and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Taylor is shocked at how much damage she caused with an absent-minded go-ahead]]. |
7 | * AllAnimalsAreDogs: Taylor's pet Chomp Nippy. |
8 | * AmbiguousRobots: InUniverse, the main theory is that Taylor/Shy Girl is a Tinker and her Guys are advanced robots. |
9 | * BerserkButton: Taylor is this to both Sophia (over the paint bombs in high school) and Bakuda (for one-upping the ordnance of the ABB). In regards to Sophia, the feeling is mutual. |
10 | * TheChosenOne: Apparently Taylor was the one destined to be the Boss of the Shy Guys, who've been waiting for her for years. |
11 | * {{Crossover}}: With ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' [[spoiler: and ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'']]. |
12 | * DeadFic: Not updated since 2014. Until it started up again in 2023. |
13 | * DenserAndWackier: The fic has the cartoony tone of the Mario franchise, with the darker nature of ''Worm'' manifesting mainly as ComedicSociopathy. |
14 | * TheDreaded: Mario to the Guys, who treat him as if he's a HumanoidAbomination. |
15 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: Taylor as Shy Girl. |
16 | * 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. |
17 | * IWasJustJoking: Following an incident with non-lethal ordinance turning the school into a veritable war zone, Taylor has to explain to General Guy that sometimes she has thoughts she doesn't want to follow through with. |
18 | * KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler: Uber and Leet of all people, giving Taylor her first duel with Mario, her first encounter with Bowser, and a Crossover with ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'']]. |
19 | * {{Mooks}}: The premise is Taylor getting an army of these, much to Bowser's detriment. |
20 | * NoKillLikeOverkill: Averted in the case of getting back at Taylor's bullies- Taylor orders a downgrade from lethal bob-ombs to non-lethal paint bob-ombs because she doesn't want to get in trouble. Even ''that'' is overkill and disturbs Taylor. |
21 | * DreamRealityCheck: Gourmet Guy slaps Taylor to prove they're real and not a hallucination. |
22 | -->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.\ |
23 | * SLAP!* I blinked and held my cheek as a Shy Guy I hadn't noticed stepped into view, a doctor's bag in it's grip, "That should be proof enough I think. We are quite certainly real Boss, and we're here to serve..." |
24 | * OhCrap: Taylor is shocked when the Shy Guys actually ''follow through'' with administering non-lethal paint bob-ombs to Sophia, Emma, and Madison [[IWasJustJoking following her joking suggestion]]. |
25 | * PunchClockVillain: The Shy Guys had no particular loyalty to Bowser, merely serving him while they waited for the Boss to call. |
26 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: |
27 | ** The Shy Guys don't think twice when they hear the Call, and all of them desert Bowser. |
28 | ** Taylor herself has this reaction when she inadvertently paint-bombs the school with bob-ombs strong enough to be mistaken for a terrorist attack, but is intercepted when she tries to run. |
29 | ** Taylor panics and runs from the PRT after [[spoiler: being attacked by Shadow Stalker in the ABB's foiled bank robbery]]. |
30 | * SuperpowerLottery: Taylor is in command of the Guys, Chomps, Boos, Bob-ombs and Bills with all that entails. |
31 | * 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. |
32 | * UnstoppableRage: Bowser enters one when the Shy Guys, Chomps, Bob-ombs, Bills and Boos all abandon him for Taylor. |
33 | * 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. |
34 | * WhamEpisode: |
35 | ** 2-5 and 2-6. [[spoiler: Uber and Leet turn the fic into a crossover with VideoGame/SuperSmashBros, Shy Girl fights Mario, Bowser chews out Taylor and swears revenge, and the Master Hand speaks with Taylor.]] |
36 | ** 2-?: [[spoiler: The Master Hand wants Shy Girl to level up enough to defeat Scion, and says as much to Miss Militia.]] |
37 | * {{Womanchild}}: Taylor has shades of this due to the mental damage caused by linking up to the Shy Guy HiveMind. |
