What does shyguy look like without his mask?

Also what if shy guy only falls on his face if he misses a dash attack. Like it has an early hurt box that cancels the falling Animation

What does shyguy look like without his mask?

I don't know. But I can tell from Luigi's reaction that it's startling.

 

[silenthunder]

I doubt smash would go out of their way to establish cannon like that.
