Shy Stacks debut in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', where two of them are fought immediately before the boss battle with [[General Guy]], after the [[Shy Squad]] and [[Stilt Guy]]s. A Shy Stack consist of four [[Shy Guy]]s standing on top of each other and has a cumulative attack power that equals the number of Shy Guys in the stack. The [[Spin Smash]] [[Badge]] or [[Kooper]] can be used to knock off the stack one by one, decreasing the attack power. They use slingshots to attack, like [[Sky Guy]]s and [[Spy Guy]]s in the same game, as well as regular Shy Guys in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
While not an enemy that can be fought in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', three Shy Guys stack themselves in the [[Redpepper Crater]], peeping on a [[Boo]] in the waterfall. If Mario hits them with his [[Hammer]], they complain it took them three hours to stack themselves to get a view, and if they are hit again, they fall down and do not get back up again, while telling Mario to find his own spot. When Mario talks to the Boo, the Shy Guy Tower falls down, since the Boo thinks they are looking at it.

Shy Guy Towers return under their new name in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. Shy Guy Towers do not move for as long as they remain a Shy Guy Tower. Unlike in ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the tower cannot be disbanded by removing a single [[Shy Guy]] from the formation; however, this is not the case when Yoshi steers through them as [[Moto Yoshi]]. When one of them is eaten or attacked with a [[yarn ball]], any other Shy Guys that were staying on top of it drop a level lower. They can also be stomped on one by one, or [[Ground Pound]]ed from the top to instantly defeat all of them. If only one Shy Guy is left, it can move as a normal Shy Guy. Often, the Shy Guy at the top of the tower holds a [[Bead]], which may further contain a [[Stamp Patch]]/[[Pencil Patch]]. If they are not, it is possible for the top Shy Guy to be a [[Bomb Guy]]. They prominently appear in [[Shy but Deadly]], but also appear in [[Fluffy Snow, Here We Go!]]'s Moto Yoshi section. A Shy Guy Tower consisting entirely of black Shy Guys appears in the area with Bomb Guys in [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]].

Shy Guy Towers reappear in the [[Mario Tennis Aces#Shy Guy Train Tussle|Shy Guy Train Tussle]] co-op challenge of ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''. They appear in stacks of their respective colors and can be hit for [[coin]]s. During Frenzy Mode, three or four very tall stacks of Shy Guys appear in front of the players, with [[crate]]s between them containing coins and power-ups. At the top of each stack there is one crate containing a [[key]] of a specific color that will open the corresponding chest present in the stage, giving the players coins. To get a crate closer to the ground, the player has to defeat as many Shy Guys in the respective stack as possible before Frenzy Mode finishes.
