Shy Guys made their debut in the Japan-only game ''{{s|mariowiki|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic}}'' (repurposed as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' for international markets) as a common enemy, and have become a common enemy in later ''Mario'' games. They are humanoid enemies who wear robes and a white mask that features two large eyeholes and a round mouth hole. Their robes also appear in a variety of colors, with red being the most common.

Shy Guys are also known for being highly secretive about their true appearance, desperately trying to hide themselves in the few times their mask falls off. In Shy Guy's celebration cutscene in ''Mario Power Tennis'', [[Luigi]] is the only one to have canonically seen a Shy Guy's real face. The ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Strikers|series}}'' series also shows that Shy Guys have several masks that display different emotions, which they swap between when they need to.

In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Shy Guys are mostly known for walking around and damaging the player on contact. Shy Guys can be defeated by grabbing them and throwing them against another enemy or into a nearby pitfall. Starting with ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}'' they became the basic common enemy in the ''Yoshi'' games.

Shy Guys often appear in spin-off ''Mario'' games with several roles. They first made their playable debut in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Tennis 64}}''. They also appear in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart DS}}'' and ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart 7}}'' in download play multiplayer, where players without the respective games can only play as Shy Guy in their Standard Kart, marked with the emblem of their mask. In ''Mario Kart DS'' they're only playable in download play, while starting with ''Mario Kart 7'' they're playable normally.
