Yeah from Yoshi's Island and a few other games, they're honest-to-God called "Fat Guys", true story.
I've always been partial to Spindrift aka Flower Head from Super Mario 64/DS. I thought they had a more unique design than the flower guys from Yoshi's Island and Paper Mario. They were apparantly going to appear in NSMBDS but got cut, and one of the UFO-looking "Torkdrift" boss from SMO is apparently supposed to be one of them despite looking nothing alike. I want them back.

Togezo from a handful of early Kirby games, which I found out recently is supposed to be a Kirbyfied cameo of Spiny from the Mario series. Seriously, it straight-up rolls into a Spiny Egg in Kirby's Adventure. In Kirby's Dream Land 3, I guess they tried to lessen the connection by making it act more like the "Spikey" enemy from Kirby's Dream Land 2, and by Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land they wanted to use an original design instead of Mario inspiration so they replaced it with a boring striped worm thing that does the same thing (still not sure why some other enemies were replaced in remakes but at least I have closure knowing the rationale for this one).

Captain J was replaced in Super Star Ultra because it's a TwinBee knockoff (though I always thought it was supposed to be a Waddle Doo in a spacesuit). This started a running gag of the jet enemy being the next one in the series whenever Jet reappears (they're up to J3 now, can't wait for J4).

DS version made this boring by turning it into a Snifit-themed derivative of Boo Guy from Yoshi's Island. I prefer the simpler "red Boo wearing a white Snifit mask" design. If the "3D All-Stars" rumor is true, I hope they dial back some of the other recent redesigns. I can't stand the new Bully for instance.

I predict it'll get renamed a la Unagi/Maw-Ray if it ever reappears. I'm placing my bets on something along the lines of "Snoofit" or "Boofit".

Well they ARE literal ghost Snifits, hence why the DS version made them more related to the established Boo Guys. Gotta be some reason they're wandering around a gas maze.

For that matter, why are Shy Guys so weird in Super Mario 64? The only other one we see is Fly Guy, but it for some reason spits fire, despite not having a mouthhole in its mask in that game.
