==History==
===''Super Mario Advance''===
Giant Shy Guys first appear in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', where they provide a [[small heart|Heart]] when they are thrown at the ground or defeated.
 
They appear in early trailer of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', though they are not present in the final game. They also appear in the ''[[Yoshi Demo]]'', where stomping one would turn it into a regular Shy Guy. A [[Big Guy the Stilted|giant robotic Shy Guy]] appears in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. One also appears in the ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' microgame [[Mario Adv.]]

===''Super Mario-Kun''===
In the small short that concludes the chapter in volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'', a Giant Shy Guy attacks Mario, [[Goombario]], and [[Kooper]]. It then pits Mario against [[Robirdo]]. Mario, however, grabs the Giant Shy Guy and throws it against Robirdo, defeating both.
===''Yoshi's New Island''===
Mega Guys also appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. Here, Yoshi can swallow them to turn them into [[Mega Eggdozer]]s, which can be used to destroy otherwise indestructible obstacles. Mega Guys require a bit more effort than normal to swallow, as the player has to rapidly press {{button|3ds|A}} to do it. A metallic variant known as [[Metal Guy]]s also appear, which are used to make [[Metal Eggdozer]]s.
