In the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth issues of the Japanese exclusive manga series ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'', Shiisa makes an appearance as a boss character that [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], Toad, [[Yoshi]], and [[Wanda]] had to face within the ''Wario's Woods'' adaptation in these issues. However, being one of the harder opponents that the group of protagonists had faced, Shiisa easily defeats Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Wanda using his powers and nearly claims victory.

Fortunately, Toad (who originally fled the battle due to being frightened by Shiisha's threatening appearance) manages to gather his strength (after seeing his fallen friends) and challenges Shiisha by his lonesome. After a long battle, Toad manages to defeat the Grim Reaper-like boss and claim victory for the heroes.

The meaning of this name is hard to ascertain. "Shiisa" is the name for lion statues found primarily in Okinawa that have the ability to ward off evil spirits. The name may, however, instead be related to the word for a [[wikipedia:Christianity|Christian]] priest, "shisai".
