Unlike normal Flying Shy Guys, performing a [[Ground Pound]] near them does not affect them in any way. They seem to have a horrible taste to [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s because after eating one, they look disgusted and lose three petals from their [[Smile Meter]]. This also nullifies the [[Super Happy]] form when a Yoshi eats a Black Shy Guy. Black and White Yoshis seem to be able to tolerate these and gain two petals. These Shy Guys first appear on Stage 3-3, [[Poochy & Nippy]]. On this level, the Black Shy Guys swoop down from above the screen, dropping bombs on top of the Yoshis. This can be used to the Yoshis' advantage by causing them to break blocks. Black Shy Guys also appear in Page 6, hovering about in the air holding [[Togetoge Iwa]] to drop on Yoshis that pass underneath them.

While black versions of other Shy Guy types do not appear in the game, a black version of a normal Shy Guy has artwork, suggesting that at some point they may have been intended to appear at some point during development, but are [[List of Yoshi's Story pre-release and unused content|unimplemented]] in the final game. This is somewhat supported by the nonspecific wording of the [[Hint Block]] message regarding them.
