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]]''.

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]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. In their tattle, Shy Guys Towers are described as having "an incredible sense of balance."

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.
