Mario Artist: Polygon Studio was an entry in the Mario Artist series for the Japan-only 64DD add-on for the Nintendo 64 that allowed users to create their own 3D models and insert them into scenes.

In a 2003 issue of the Japanese Nintendo Dream magazine, a tutorial was published on how to create a model of a specific Shy Guy, who has been a popular recurring character in the magazine's long-running "Dream Drunker" comic (famous for his gimmick of never saying anything except variations of "HO~").

A reference image of the Shy Guy riding a minecart and the finished model are provided. Note that the model also includes one of the exercising men from the opening of Mario Paint, who also appear in the Mario Artist games.

Crabs aren’t creepy, they’re ocean heroes!
