 ====''Super Paper Mario''====
 Spear Guys along with Shy Guys, [[Stilt Guy]]s, and [[Fly Guy]]s were originally going to appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', but were taken out for unknown reasons.

 ====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====

-Spear Guys make a major appearance (their first appearance since ''Paper Mario'') in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', alongside [[Shy Guy|Shy Guys]], [[Clip Guy|Clip Guys]], [[Mariachi Guy]]s, and [[Snifit]]s. They look similar to their appearance from the original Paper Mario, but they lose their face paint. Here, they show up in [[World 5 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 5]], as common enemies. When the battle starts, a Spear Guy will flip his spear and either hold it vertically or horizontally. If held vertically, Mario cannot perform jumps on the Spear Guy, and if held horizontally, Mario cannot use his Hammer on the enemy. The attacks of Spear Guys are determined by the position in which they hold their spear. If held vertically, the Spear Guy will chuck their spear at Mario. If the spear is held horizontally, the Spear Guy will go in front of Mario and stab him with the weapon. The Spear Guys are still vulnerable to projectiles. Unlike in ''Paper Mario'', if a Spear Guy throws his spear at Mario, it won't become a regular Shy Guy. Spear Guys can assist [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]s., and [[Boomerang Bro]]s.

 During Shy Guy Jungle, three Spear Guys take a part of the bridge leading to the [[Comet Piece]] and run away. Mario must defeat these Spear Guys in order to progress. During [[Jungle Rapids]], Spear Guys chuck spears at Mario while he rides the raft. They also swing on vines and throw barrels at Mario. At the end of the level, several Spear Guys are seen performing tribal dances around pieces of the [[Sticker Comet]]. Two Spear Guys are the final enemies seen harassing the [[Traveling Toad]] as well.

 ====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
-Paper Spear Guys appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as enemies. When they attack, they all swing together and the bro must counterattack it by its top side. It's other attack is where they form in a circle, and all their spears are thrown to one bro, making the player dodge the attack.
