In Paper Mario: Color Splash, a Shy Guy is trapped in a water wheel after being bullied. The internal name for this pose is "crucify". This suggests that the original intent may have been for him to actually evoke a crucifixion before it was decided this may be in bad taste.

In Cherry Lake in Paper Mario: Color Splash, a stack of 4 Shy Guys try to bully a fifth one to join them. Not wanting to be forced, he runs away. As he runs away, he becomes caught in a water wheel, with one of his feet being trapped in it. It drags him through the water, making him soggy. Internally, this pose for the Soggy Guy is called "crucify". Looking at the way his foot is caught in the wheel, it does seem like there is nothing to actually get caught on and the sprite may have originally been drawn for something else. It is possible that originally he was caught on two crossed planks or something similarly evocative before it was decided this may be in poor taste. Artist's conception of a possible crucifixion.
