 In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], Mario can ride them or pick and throw them at other enemies to defeat them (as in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''). They can also be defeated by throwing another enemy or an object, such as a [[Bin|garbage can]] or [[key]], at them. Shy Guys debut in the [[Level 1-1 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|first level]] of the game, where they patrol areas in front of garbage cans which can be used to attack them, and continue to appear occasionally in subsequent levels. Exclusively in the [[Spooky House]] boss stage, [[Level 4-DK]], Shy Guys are transformed into [[Polterguy]]s and vice versa by [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Color Switch|switch]]es. Remarkably, throughout the entirety of [[Level x-7]], a Shy Guy needs to be used to cross beds of [[Spike Trap|spike]]s.
-Certain types of Shy Guys wield weapons and have different colors and behavior from the standard red Shy Guys; these include [[Fire Shy Guy]]s, [[Spear Shy Guy]]s, and [[Wrench Shy Guy]]s.

+Regular Shy Guys do not appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]''; they are replaced by [[Spear Guy]]s. Despite this, they are simply referred to as Shy Guys in the American English version.
-In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', Shy Guys,<ref>"''Shy Guy – Shy Guys prevent Mini Mario from reaching certain areas by patrolling back and forth.

This makes them similar to the [[Spear Shy Guy]]. Unique to ''Minis March Again!'', upon activation of a red Color Switch, Shy Guys transform into stationary solid blocks. When in this state, Shy Guys can be used as a step or bridge to cross harmful areas. Shy Guys can be defeated with [[hammer]]s. They first appear in [[Room 2-7 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 2-7]] of [[Sandstone Stroll]], but are more prevalent on the [[Jungle Rumble]] floor.
 ====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''====
-Shy Guys revert to their original appearance in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', no longer holding spears. Despite the change, they remain harmful to touch from above, unlike in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''. However, their vertical reach is shortened. Shy Guys appear early in the game, starting with [[Area 1-5]] where the player learns that it is possible to destroy enemies using hammers. In this game, they can also be defeated by shooting into one from a [[Cannon]] or sliding into one from a slope. Later in the game, in [[Super Skywheel]], Shy Guys can fill '''Shy Guy Blocks''', becoming solid platforms.<ref name=Mayhem/>
