Shy Guys, as well as several variations of them, are semi-common enemies in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. After Mario returns from [[Forever Forest]], he finds the Shy Guys overrunning [[Toad Town]], stealing belongings from some residents and causing trouble for others. He can hit the enemies with his [[Hammer]] to make them run out of town. Once Mario discovers [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]], the secret hide-out of the Shy Guys, they can be fought as normal enemies. They have two main attacks: They can simply tackle Mario for 2 damage, or they can do an acrobatic attack, dealing 3 points of damage and bowing to an unseen but not unheard crowd.

This game also features [[Groove Guy]]s, Shy Guys that make Mario [[dizzy]]; [[Sky Guy]]s, Shy Guys that have balloons to keep them in the air; [[Medi Guy]]s, Shy Guys that heal any ally; [[Spy Guy]]s, Shy Guys that wear camouflage gear; [[Pyro Guy]]s from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''; and the powerful [[Black Shy Guy#Paper Mario|Anti Guy]], three of which appear in [[Bowser's Castle]] if the player answers three questions incorrectly during the quiz with the second [[Guard Door]].

They can also be found on [[Lavalava Island]] when [[Spear Guy]]s shed their armor.

It is revealed that Shy Guys have their own language called Shy Guy that [[Russ T.]] can understand.

Shy Guys are the most common enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. In battle, Shy Guys attack by running up to Mario and slapping him. While Mario is choosing Battle Cards during his turn, they may steal a card from him, and Mario gets the card back at the end of the battle if he defeats the Shy Guy. They appear throughout the game, and are first seen at [[Port Prisma]]. The paper versions of the Yellow, Pink, Blue, and Green Shy Guys now match the modern look of their regular counterparts. In addition, the [[Black Shy Guy]] returns as an enemy for the first time since ''Paper Mario'', now sporting the same modern design as the regular ones.

In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Shy Guys appear as audience members. They also appear as a stage hazard on [[Snowfall Mountain]], where they run across the stage to interfere. During Adventure Mode, one Shy Guy appears as an opponent in [[One versus...One?]], and another Shy Guy asks Mario to train with him in [[Sure Shot Challenge (Intermediate)]]. In the game's version 2.0.0 update, Shy Guy is added as a playable character, where he returns as a Technical character.<ref>Nintendo. (September 13, 2018). [https://youtu.be/CRuHg1dv8MI Nintendo Direct 9.13.2018]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved September 13, 2018.</ref> He is available after participating in the online doubles tournament for December 2018 or after January 1, 2019.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR3M2MckjKE</ref> Shy Guys with red, yellow, and blue bandanas also appear during Shy Guy’s Train Tussle.

Shy Guys also appear in the form of collectible items. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', there is both a collectible [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of a Shy Guy. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', there is a trophy of Shy Guy driving his [[Standard Kart]], and its description states that Shy Guy made his playable debut in the ''Mario Kart'' series in ''Mario Kart 7'', even though it was actually in ''Mario Kart DS''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Shy Guy appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] that, when equipped, takes up two slots and slightly increases the power of a character's punches and elbow strikes. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit can be encountered on the [[smashwiki:Light Realm|Light Realm]] map. The spirit battle takes place in the Battlefield version of the [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] stage, with [[Mii Brawler]], [[Mii Swordfighter]] and [[Mii Gunner]], wearing Shy Guy masks, as opponents.

Shy Guy makes his proper debut as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. Unlike in ''Mario Kart DS'', he can be played without Download Play, but is restricted to using only his red color. Players who use Download Play are still restricted to Shy Guys, but with alternate colors in a fixed order (from player 2 to player 8: blue, yellow, green, cyan, pink, black, and white)<ref>https://archiverse.guide/post/AYIHAAAEAACHVRTv--xzdw</ref> and can only use standard parts.

He can be unlocked for use outside Download Play by getting a gold trophy in the 150cc [[Shell Cup]]. He is a Feather class racer, with acceleration and Off-road being his best stats. There is one course that belongs to Shy Guy in the game, [[3DS Shy Guy Bazaar|Shy Guy Bazaar]]. He is the staff ghost of both Shy Guy Bazaar and {{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}}.

In ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', multicolored [[Skating Shy Guy|Shy Guys on Skates]] appear in [[Frosty Frontier Stage|Frosty Frontier]] and [[Shifting Sands Stage]]s. In the area Frosty Frontier, Shy Guys skate around the screen and [[Mario]] has to hit them all to get a star. In the Shifting Sands area, Mario encounters regular Shy Guys three times, once before he makes it into [[Egyptian Koopa]]'s pyramid and twice inside the pyramid. But he encounters them in different places and they all do the same method. When outside the pyramid, they hide behind cacti and run from cactus to cactus. As they run, Mario has to hit them. If he is able to hit them all, he gets a star. When inside the pyramid, the Shy Guys hide behind vases instead of cacti. Mario has to hit them all to get a switch to open in the floor so he can get to Egyptian Koopa.
