===Yoshi's Island series===

===Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3===

Shy Guys appear in [[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]] and its [[Game Boy Advance]] remake called [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]. Here, they are extremely common and weak enemies, simply walking or flipping forward to occasionally stop and look left and right. They sometimes appear out of Pipes unless Yoshi has a full six eggs. The colors they come in are red, yellow, green, and magenta (featured in pink due to SNES graphic palette limits) and have different colored mask straps. Some of their variants, such as Boo Guys, make their debut in the game. Like other enemies, they can be defeated by jumping on them, although they will respawn when Yoshi leaves the area and returns. In addition, they can be eaten and turned into eggs, which prevents them from respawning. In dark levels of the game, it is revealed that their shoes glow in the dark.

===Yoshi Touch & Go===

Shy Guys reappear in [[Yoshi Touch & Go]]. They are vulnerable to all attacks and are worth a [[Yellow Coin]]. In this game, like all the other enemies, bumping into a Shy Guy causes an instant Game Over. Shy Guy serves the same purpose in this game as in the previous, as working as a common soldier for [[Baby Bowser]]. Many varieties of Shy Guy appear on the island, red being the most common.

===Yoshi's Island DS===

Shy Guys also appear in [[Yoshi's Island DS]] as very common and weak enemies. Yoshi can use any tactic to defeat them: jumping, egg-throwing, or swallowing. While Shy Guys in this game have the same role as they did in [[Yoshi's Island]], there is a boss known as Big Guy the Stilted, a massive robot seemingly built by Shy Guys.

=== ''Yoshi'' platform series ===

==== ''Yoshi's Story'' ====

In ''Yoshi's Story'', Shy Guys are once again common enemies, walking forward and backward. Woozy Guys from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' are not present, but they have their places taken by more varieties. Some Shy Guys carry fruit or hide in trees. To defeat Shy Guys that are in trees, Yoshi must ground-pound near the tree they are hiding in, causing them to fall out. Additionally, if Yoshi ground-pounds near a Shy Guy, its color changes, although the reason for this change is unknown. If Yoshi ground-pounds near a Shy Guy while affected by a Heart Fruit, the Shy Guy turns into a Lucky Fruit.

Regarding chemistry, in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', Shy Guys show good chemistry with Birdo and Monty Mole, while showing bad chemistry with Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', the Shy Guys maintain their good chemistry with [[Birdo]] and Monty Mole, but they also display good chemistry with Boo. Their bad chemistry is also expanded to include their relationships with Yoshi and the Yoshi species, as well as Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, and Baby DK.
