==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''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]].

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Mega Guys spawn from large [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, and unlike the game's regular-sized Shy Guys, they are impervious to [[stomp]]s and constantly walk forward, only turning around once they reach a wall. 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.

===''Super Mario Advance''===
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''.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:GiantShyGuy SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|A Big Shy Guy in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
In the small short that concludes the chapter in volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', a Big Shy Guy attacks Mario, [[Goombario]], and [[Kooper]]. It then pits Mario against [[Robirdo]]. Mario, however, grabs the Big Shy Guy and throws it against Robirdo, defeating both.

===''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''===
In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', a Big Shy Guy is one of the enemies that can appear in the microgame [[Mario Adv.]]

===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
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.

===Other appearances===
Big Shy Guys appear in an early trailer of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', though they are not present in the final game.<ref>Hard4Games (April 11, 2020). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSJmf9ju5hU&t=1m43s Beta Kirby’s Air Ride & Goldeneye Rail-Shooter - VHS Preservation!]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 5, 2020.</ref> They also appear in the ''[[Yoshi Demo]]'', where stomping one would turn it into a regular Shy Guy.

When Mario and Luigi get the [[Superstar]] in the climax of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', thus becoming invincible for Bowser and his army, bigger and taller Shy Guys, even more than Mario, Luigi and [[Spike]] (unlike the other Shy Guys seen in the rest of the movie), can be seen for a few seconds among the army charging at once against Mario and Luigi, only to be defeated instantly along with the rest of the army due to the power of the Superstar assimilated by the two brothers.
