 Shy Guys make their first ''Mario'' game appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', although the Shy Guys' real first appearance is in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''. In this game, Shy Guys, along with the other [[8 bits]], help [[Wart]] conquer [[Subcon]]. Shy Guys are the most common enemies that the four heroes meet. They attack [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] by walking in their general direction. They can be easily disposed by being picked up and thrown against another enemy or into a nearby [[Pit (obstacle)|abyss]]. They can also be defeated by having an object thrown at them.
-Red Shy Guys walk off ledges while pink ones don't, striking a resemblance to Green and Red [[Koopa Troopa]]s respectively, although the primary difference is that Red Shy Guys are known to turn in the direction of the player after landing. Red ones are also known to ride [[Autobomb]]s and [[Ostro]]s and often appear out of [[Vase]]s. Pink ones became blue in the remakes of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. The ''Super Mario Advance'' remake introduces [[Mega Guy]]s. It takes time to pick them up because of their size. If the player picks up a Mega Guy and throws it, hitting the ground or hitting another enemy with it, it will drop a heart...

-In ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', multiple colored Shy Guys appear in [[Frosty Frontier]] and [[Shifting Sands]] areas. 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 them 3 times, once before he makes it into [[King Tut]]'s pyramid and twice inside the pyramid. But he encounters them in the different places 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 [[Vase]]s instead of cactuses. Mario has to hit them all to get a switch to open in the floor so he can get to King Tut.

 Shy Guys reappear in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' as goalkeepers in a [[Mario Sports Mix#Hockey|Hockey]] game. When a player uses their special during a [[Mario Sports Mix#Hockey|Hockey]], Shy Guy will disappear when the special is happening and then reappear when it ends. Players cannot control them, but they can command Shy Guys to lunge by pressing {{button|wii|Z}}. Shy Guys also appear in the [[Western Junction]] court, where various they throw either [[Banana|banana peel]]s or [[coin]]s. They also appear in the crowd of [[Wario Factory]] in multiple colors.
+===''NES Remix'' series===
+Shy Guys are featured in challenges based around ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' from ''[[NES Remix 2]]'' and ''[[Ultimate NES Remix]]''. The player usually has to either defeat or dodge these enemies in order to advance. In ''NES Remix 2'', Shy Guys are present in all stages but in the third, ninth, eleventh, and twelfth ones. Since these challenges are sequences from a port that is identical to the original game, Shy Guys retain their exact appearance from there.

 ===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
 Shy Guys appear as enemies in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. Like Goombas in 3D ''Mario'' games, they chase after Captain Toad or Toadette upon seeing either one of them, but get tired and stop after a while.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caS_eSIKIj0</ref> However, in dark levels, they can also start to chase the protagonist should they shine their headlamp on them. In the game box art, their robe's texture appear to be normal, but in-game, it appears to be made of wool instead of tissue or silk. Two types of Shy Guys appear: blue stationary Shy Guys that periodically turn 90° and red Shy Guys that walk along paths.

-Actual Shy Guys are not seen in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', but one of the unlockable [[Costume Mario|costumes]] for the [[Mystery Mushroom]] is that of a Shy Guy in its ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' appearance.

 In the first few episodes of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', Shy Guys were depicted as being similar in appearance to their game counterparts, though with one large exception - their masks possessed only two holes. They only had eye holes perpetually in a scowling position. Later episodes of the show would have Shy Guys resembling their game versions more with three holes in their mask, all of which were perfectly circular.
+Even though Shy Guys appear to be short, squat humanoids, a screenshot<ref>http://www.mariowiki.com/images/5/53/TreasureTracker-E32014-Screenshot4.jpg</ref> from the game ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' shows that they appear to have stick-like legs, perhaps suggesting that they might appear different without their robes.
