Although Shy Guys were not actual enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', they do appear in the [[Audience]] of most of the battles, and a few statues of Shy Guys also appear on the [[Poshley Heights]] fountain. Occasionally, if part of the audience, Shy Guys will run onto the backstage and cause pieces of the set to fall on Mario or his enemies. This is also used to signal the first occurrence of a stage hazard (like fog, ice, fire, etc.). Shy Guys will give Mario [[Star Power (Paper Mario)|Star Power]] along with the other audience members when he performs a move correctly. The name ''Heihoo'', which is Japanese for "Shy Guy," appears alongside other [[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door beta elements|scrapped]] enemy names (among which are also ''Faia Heihoo'' "[[Pyro Guy|Fire Shy Guy]]", ''Komando Heihoo'' "[[Spy Guy|Commando Shy Guy]]", and ''Burakku Heihoo'' "[[Anti Guy|Black Shy Guy]]") in <i>Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door</i>'s coding, suggesting that Shy Guys were once going to appear as enemies in that game.<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/pmttyd_lost.shtml#items The Mushroom Kingdom] (Accessed on 7-15-08)</ref>

Shy Guys also appear in the [[Yoshi's Story (stage)|Yoshi's Story]] stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Although they are actually [[Fly Guy]]s, they are called Shy Guys. The Fly Guys will fly past the stage. They are unable to damage players, but they carry [[Food]] with them, which can be dropped on the ground if they are attacked. If the player KOs a Shy Guy, they receive the bonus "Shy Guy KO". They also have a [[trophy]] in their honor.
