In various instances, Shy Guys also act as course obstacles, vulnerable to most attacks. GBA Sunset Wilds features [[Exploring Shy Guy]]s, taking the place of Shy Guy Tents from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''. [[Snowboarding Shy Guy]]s return in the game's rendition of DK Summit, acting the same as in ''Mario Kart Wii''. Black, white, and orange ninja Shy Guys similar to the playable Shy Guy variant, also designated as Shy Guys (Ninja), impede drivers in [[Ninja Hideaway]]: some assume a guarding stance on the track while periodically vanishing and reappearing, leaving [[Banana]] peels in their place when gone; others are suspended in the air by kites in [[Glider|gliding]] sections.
