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

In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|GBA remake]], big Shy Guys<ref>Williams, Drew. ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' Player's Guide. Page 60. "'''''Food Fight''' Slurp up the big Shy Guys to make extra-large Eggs, then shoot Prince Froggy’s uvula (the thing dangling from the top of the screen). Don’t worry too much about aiming.''"</ref> appear during the boss fight with [[Froggy]]. [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] must eat them to produce the [[Giant Egg]]s needed to damage the boss. These big Shy Guys are technically about the size of a regular Shy-Guy, if not actually smaller, but are large in relation to Yoshi and [[Baby Mario]], who are shrunken by [[Kamek]].

Big Shy Guys appear as semi-common enemies in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''. They act much like ordinary Shyguys, aside from being twice as large, and come in red-robed and blue-robed variants just like ordinary Shyguys, with the difference being that blue-robed Big Shy Guys turn around at ledges, unlike red-robed ones that walk off of ledges instead. They release [[small heart|Heart]]s when thrown to the ground or defeated, and take longer to pick up compared to most enemies and items due to their large size. Their unique traits are largely similar to those of [[Big Ninji]]s, which also appear in ''Super Mario Advance''.

In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', a black Mega Guy appears in [[Snowball Fight]], acting as a regular Shy Guy. In addition to the aforementioned type appearing in blue, in Ver. 2.3.0 onwards, much bigger black Mega Guy bandits wearing yellow or red bandanas are encountered individually in the added Shy Guy Train Tussle Co-op Challenge. They have increased health and can be attacked by either hitting back the projectiles shot by the four [[cannon]]s overhead or hitting back the [[Bob-omb]]s or [[Mega Bob-omb]]s tossed by it. When defeated, they drop a key to a golden [[treasure chest]] with [[coin]]s.
