In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', it is done by pressing the {{button|gcn|L}} or {{button|gcn|R}} button. The player will then have a circle (red if it is Player 1, blue if it is Player 2, yellow if it is Player 3, green if it is Player 4 and gray if it is the CPU) around them, protecting them from attacks. The shield in [[Yoshi]]'s case will be an egg. Also, players can control the strength of their shield, depending on how hard they press the {{button|gcn|L}} or {{button|gcn|R}} button. A thicker shield will erode slower from damage but faster from time, while a thinner shield will erode more from damage but significantly less from time duration, adding to shielding strategy. There are some attacks/items that can "break" a shield though. If a player has the shield on for too long, then the player will break their own shield, causing them to be confused. They will not be able to move for a couple of seconds, allowing other players to attack them.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there are four different control types. With the [[Wii Remote]] by itself, the player can use the Shield by pressing the {{button|wii|B}} Button (by default). Unlike in ''Melee'' however, players have no control over the shield's strength.

 

 

In the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', one of the items from the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series is the Shield. The shield could protect the player from incoming items in [[Dream Race]] and [[Dream Long Jump]].
