Shotzos make their debut 3-D appearance in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. These cannon-like enemies situate themselves within drop-holes, areas of low terrain, and interestingly, even exist as part of the background in few select stages, shooting small bullets at Kirby from afar. Regardless of location, these enemies cannot be defeated or ingested, and thus must be avoided if Kirby is to escape injury-free. A wall-mounted version of this standard foe, the [[Wall Shotzo]], also appears.

Shotzos also appear in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirby's]] [[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn|(Extra)]] [[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Epic Yarn]]'' as a somewhat uncommon enemy who, much like previous games, is indestructible. Its shots can't be grabbed by the Yarn Whip. There is a variation of them in Snow Land named [[Freezo]] that shoots snowballs and is only in the Evergreen Lift stage.

Shotzo returns in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', functioning like it has done in earlier Kirby games. It is accompanied by its new much larger relatives, [[Gigatzo]], [[Volttzo]] and [[Coldtzo]], who cannot aim, but fire huge elemental projectiles.

In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' Shotzo can be found in the following levels and stages:

Shotzo appears again in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', keeping its look from Return to Dream Land. In this iteration, its stand-out feature is the ability to aim between the foreground and background.

Shotzo appears in this title, and is able to re-aim in several different ways, both horizontally and vertically if needed. Kirby does not need to do anything to it to gain the bonus for defeating all enemies.

|''"These cannons from the Kirby series could track Kirby and fire at him. In Smash Bros., there are two different kinds: ones that fire in a set direction and ones that will track and fire at a fighter. Don't waste time attacking these guys, though — it's impossible to defeat them."''

|''"Not all of these cannons from the Kirby series are stuck to the ground — some float in with parasols, and some can even move on their own! In Smash Run, some fire in a fixed direction, while others will aim at you. They're invincible, but they also can't shoot through each other. Keep that in mind when you come across them!"''
