It's worth noting that an official crossover with Sulayre's Videogame/WiiFunkin mod was released in July 4th 2021 called Videogame/ShaggyXMatt, which combines Shaggy's special gameplay mechanic with Matt's frenetic singing.

* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler: Zephyrus, who decides not to conquer Boyfriend’s universe because he helped him, and to sing 3000 songs with him, with 1 song every few years. He’s also entirely upfront about his goals.]]

* BattleAura: [[spoiler: WB Shaggy]] has one.

** [[spoiler: After Zephyrus attaches to WB Shaggy's face the background goes black, his power aura disappears, his face shows an expression of pain all at once, and he soon falls offscreen with a slam. The first thing we see afterwards is... [[HumanoidAbomination whatever]] [[GrandTheftMe this]] [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/fridaynightfunking/images/9/96/ZephyrusShaggy.png is.]]

'''''Unmarked spoilers for Week 2 and 3 ahead.'''''

* AdaptationalBadass: In ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' itself, Shaggy is generally portrayed as a LovableCoward with little combat aptitude; even when he's hypnotized to remove his cowardice, his skill is limited to knocking out the denizens of a BadGuyBar. Here, he's so powerful that he [[WillfullyWeak has to consciously hold back]] for the sake of the Boyfriend. Just using 0.002% of his power, he can bring people BackFromTheDead and reshape the world around them with no effort at all.

* BackFromTheDead: After the Girlfriend murders Scooby, Shaggy is able to bring him back with little effort at the end of week 2.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Shaggy doesn't seems to be much of a challenge at first, but after the first song he'll show you that he can mean ''business'' if he wants to.
* DeathByAdaptation: {{Implied}} by Shaggy, as he used his powers to stop himself and Scooby from aging 53 years ago, but he didn’t do the same to Fred, Velma, or Daphne because he knew it would be selfish not to let them rest. By the time the mod takes place, Shaggy laments on how Scooby is all he has left, implying that his friends are long dead. [[spoiler: In Week 5, Red Shaggy says that his Scooby died a long time ago after Boyfriend asks about him (having mistaken Red Shaggy for his counterpart).]]

* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:Zephyrus]] is a transparent expy of [[spoiler:[[[[BonusBoss Spamton]] from ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}} Chapter 2'']], having similar ways of unlocking his BonusBoss battle and adopting some of his mannerisms as well. He was even supposed to look outright like [[spoiler:Spamton]]'s face, but that was scrapped since the creator decided it might get confusing for players.
* FetchQuest: [[spoiler: To unlock the secret song "Talladega", you need to collect pieces of Zephyrus’ face scattered throughout the mod. Once you’ve found one, you can enter conversation with Zephyrus themself, who can give you hints on where to find the other parts. Find all of them and bring Zephyrus to Week 6 to unlock the song.]]
* FriendlyEnemy: Shaggy to Boyfriend by Week 2. After learning about Shaggy's DarkAndTroubledPast, BF trash-talks him to get him out of his slump and better song. Shaggy realizes this and chuckles before calling him a "prick", before singing "Super Saiyan". After "GOD EATER", it's clear that Shaggy outright considers BF to be a WorthyOpponent, facing off against 0.002% of his full power.

* RealityWarper: Shaggy (and his counterparts) is one on a level approaching godlike, if not beyond it, to the point that things like rewinding time and raising the dead are barely scratching the surface of what he's capable of, including [[InterfaceScrew meddling with the very mechanics of the game]] to add extra arrows.
* TheReveal: After clearing "GOD EATER", Shaggy reveals a few things. One, he could revive Scooby (and the world) at any time after destroying it. Two, Shaggy came to the world of ''Friday Night Funkin''' because Scooby heard about a fellow unaging teenager. And three, Boyfriend is implied to have time reversal powers that allows him to reset when ever he loses, and was the reason Shaggy was holding back, even during "GOD EATER".

** Played straight in week 2's bonus song: once Shaggy goes ballistic, his hair stands up considerably in a Super Saiyan-like fashion.

** Week 5 uses seven arrows in its later songs.

** After clearing week 2's bonus song, Shaggy offers an explanation for his visit that simultaneously implies that Boyfriend is TheAgeless and indicates that the preceding BrutalBonusLevel was far from his true power.
--->'''Shaggy:''' Anyways, to tell the truth Scooby was looking for you. We came to your universe because we heard a teenager was like, [[TheAgeless immortal]]. And you beat me first try! From my perspective at least... [[MediumAwareness I'm guessing you have some time resetting ability]], [[WillfullyWeak so I'm glad I didn't go full power against you]].

** At the end of Week 2, Shaggy is finally reunited with Scooby. Then the Girlfriend suddenly ''[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisects]]'' the dog, quickly leading into [[BrutalBonusLevel "GOD EATER"]] where Shaggy exerts far more of his power.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Shaggy is over 70 years old, but used his powers to stop himself from aging when he was 17. He didn’t do the same for Fred, Velma, and Daphne because he knew it would be selfish to not let them rest, and only did it for Scooby because of how insistent he was. [[DownplayedTrope While he seems generally content with his immortality]], he still laments on how Scooby is all he has left.
* WillfullyWeak: Shaggy deliberately holds back his true power for the Boyfriend's sake. He briefly loses control near the end of "Where are you?" (reflected by the note chart momentarily getting more difficult than usual) and steadily loosens up throughout each week. By the time week 2 concludes, the Girlfriend attempts to goad him into going all-out by murdering Scooby... but even then, after he destroys the mansion with a BadassFingersnap, [[PowerFloats begins floating]], and forces the player to contend with ''nine'' notes, he claims that he was only using ''0.002%'' of his true power once "GOD EATER" is over. This implied he's aware that Boyfriend can reset whenever he loses, which is why he holds back, even during the bonus song.
* WorthyOpponent: It's hinted Shaggy sees the Boyfriend as this, wanting to take it easy on him but acquiescing to his requests to go a bit faster with each song. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration It's even reflected in his health meter icon]]: instead of the usual scared, angry, or dead icons that other opponents have, his defeat icon is merely an amused smirk. This gets ZigZagged in the case of GOD EATER, as his anger changes his health meter icon to be enraged as his defeat icon, but he remains humble when defeated barring his warning that if Girlfriend tried what she did again, he would show it's not just singing he's good at...

!!!Chapter 5: Bonus Match ft. Red Shaggy

* TheAgeless:Shaggy used his powers to stop aging at age 17, along with Scooby (who was insistent on always staying by his side). By the time the mod starts, Shaggy's around [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall 70 years old.]]

* FriendlyEnemy: Shaggy to Boyfriend by Week 2. After learning about Shaggy's DarkAndTroubledPast, BF trash-talks him to get him out of his slump and better song. Shaggy realizes this and chuckles before calling him a "prick", before singing "Super Saiyan".After "GOD EATER", it's clear that Shaggy outright considers BF to be a WorthyOpponent, facing off against 0.002% of his full power.
* GlamourFailure: Just like in the vanilla game's Week 7,Girlfriend shows hints of her demonic nature when she slices Scooby, revealing her parents' [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]] and her mother's [[FemmeFatalons long fingernails]].

* RealityWarper: Shaggy is one on a level approaching godlike, if not beyond it, to the point that things like rewinding time and raising the dead are barely scratching the surface of what he's capable of, including [[InterfaceScrew meddling with the very mechanics of the game]] to add extra arrows.

Here, he's so powerful that he [[WillfullyWeak has to consciously hold back]] for the sake of the Boyfriend. [[spoiler:Just using 0.002% of his power, he can bring people BackFromTheDead and reshape the world around them with no effort at all.]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: Almost like with [[spoiler:''VideoGame/VSTabiExBoyfriend'', the girlfriend is subjected to this. While we don't know what alignment she really is overall, she definitely hasn't (so far) killed anyone who seemed innocent, out of nowhere, just to get a rise out of someone, in this case Shaggy. Admittedly, she claims afterwards that she knew all along Shaggy could resurrect Scooby effortlessly.]]
* TheAgeless: [[spoiler:Shaggy used his powers to stop aging at age 17, along with Scooby (who was insistent on always staying by his side). By the time the mod starts, Shaggy's around [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall 70 years old.]]]]
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:After the Girlfriend murders Scooby, Shaggy is able to bring him back with little effort at the end of week 2.]]
* BadassFingersnap: [[spoiler:Shaggy snaps his fingers to blow the mansion apart right before "GOD EATER" starts. It's suggested to be solely for the RuleOfCool even in-universe - after the song ends, he admits that he didn't need to do it in order to actually do anything.]]
* BattleAura: [[spoiler: WB shaggy]] has one.

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: {{Implied}}, Shaggy used his powers to stop himself and Scooby from aging 53 years ago. But he didn’t do the same to Fred, Velma, or Daphne because he knew it would be selfish not to let them rest. By the time the mod takes place, Shaggy laments on how Scooby is all he has left, implying that his friends are long dead.]]
* DuelsDecideEverything: Implied [[AvertedTrope aversion]]. In the ending cutscene, Shaggy warns that if [[spoiler:the Girlfriend tries to kill Scooby again]], he will demonstrate that singing is '''not''' his only means of offense by a long shot.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Boyfriend is legitimately shocked by Girlfriend [[spoiler: cutting Scooby in half]].
* EvilDetectingDog: [[spoiler:Scooby as always, immediately realizing Girlfriend's true nature as a demon and cowering in fear. [[ProperlyParanoid He turns out to be right.]]]]

* ExcusePlot: Zig-zagged. In week 1, Shaggy's search for Scooby is dropped after the introduction to the first song, and is mostly used as a reason to why Shaggy and the Boyfriend meet in the first place. It comes up again near the start of week 2 as Shaggy attempts to get Scooby's attention by singing his favorite song, but this also fades as the week progresses. [[spoiler:It's only before the bonus song that the plot is finally resolved when Scooby shows up.]]

* FriendlyEnemy: Shaggy to Boyfriend by Week 2. After learning about Shaggy's DarkAndTroubledPast, BF trash-talks him to get him out of his slump and better song. Shaggy realizes this and chuckles before calling him a "prick", before singing "Super Saiyan". [[spoiler:After "GOD EATER", it's clear that Shaggy outright considers BF to be a WorthyOpponent, facing off against 0.002% of his full power.]]
* GlamourFailure: Just like in the vanilla game's Week 7, [[spoiler:Girlfriend shows hints of her demonic nature when she slices Scooby, revealing her parents' [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]] and her mother's [[FemmeFatalons long fingernails]].]]
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:Girlfriend fatally cleaves Scooby in half with a simple gesture in the prelude to "GOD EATER". He gets better.]]
* ImpliedDeathThreat: [[spoiler:Before leaving, Shaggy warns the Girlfriend that if she tries to kill Scooby again, then he won't pretend singing is his only option.]]
* MediumAwareness: [[spoiler:Shaggy is aware that Boyfriend has time reversal powers that allows him to reset when ever he loses, most likely aware that the player can reset if Boyfriend loses.]]
* MythologyGag: "GOD EATER" samples a couple of lines from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooLegendOfThePhantosaur'' - specifically, a PreAssKickingOneLiner uttered by a hypnotized Shaggy. Since that scene indirectly originated the Ultra Instinct Shaggy meme, it fits his portrayal in the mod, [[spoiler:especially since the song accompanies a level where Shaggy unleashes far more of his power than before.]]

* OhCrap: The Boyfriend visibly panics after [[spoiler:Girlfriend cleaves Scooby in half]], knowing full well that he's in for a hell of a time afterwards.
* RageBreakingPoint: Hits his when [[spoiler:the Girlfriend kills Scooby, at which point he obliterates the mansion, goes flying, and unleashes an absolutely grueling song that requires the player to master '''9''' arrows to get through his onslaught.]] However, if the Boyfriend manages to succeed, Shaggy reveals that [[spoiler:he was never really angry at all, as he can effortlessly resurrect Scooby, and "GOD EATER" was '''far''' from him going all out.]]
* RealityWarper: Shaggy is one on a level approaching godlike, if not beyond it, to the point that things like [[spoiler:rewinding time and raising the dead]] are barely scratching the surface of what he's capable of, including [[spoiler:[[InterfaceScrew meddling with the very mechanics of the game]] to add extra arrows]].

And three, the Boyfriend is implied to have time reversal powers that allows him to reset when ever he loses, and was the reason Shaggy was holding back, even during "GOD EATER".]]
* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:The Girlfriend's efforts to [[AwakenTheSleepingGiant get Shaggy to stop holding back by murdering Scooby]] were doomed from the start in two different respects. First, Shaggy is powerful enough to resurrect him with no effort. Second, even after a rage-driven, fearsome-looking display of strength in week 2's bonus song, she still only managed to provoke him into using 0.002% of his power.]]

** Downplayed in week 1 and for the later songs of week 2. [[spoiler:Shaggy's hair stands up slightly and grows spikier when he powers up.]]
** Played straight in week 2's bonus song: [[spoiler:once Shaggy goes ballistic, his hair stands up considerably in a Super Saiyan-like fashion.]]

*** Shaggy describes [[spoiler:a tournament in another universe for especially strong individuals, a dead ringer for the [[Recap/DragonBallSuperUniverseSurvivalArc Tournament of Power]] in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''.]]
*** He also mentions that [[spoiler:Saitama, the [[InvincibleHero famously strong protagonist]] of ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'', is likely to attend.]]

** "Kaio-ken" alters the game's central mechanics in one critical way. [[spoiler:Shaggy's power causes six arrows to appear instead of four, giving you only a few seconds to get use to the new control scheme before the song starts.]] This returns for the second and third songs of week 2.
** "GOD EATER" makes the game's note charts more complicated by [[spoiler:increasing the number of potential notes to ''nine'' (two sets of arrow keys and a central diamond shape).]]

** After clearing week 2 and being reunited with Shaggy, Scooby reveals the reason they got separated was because he go scared by a monster. [[spoiler:Then he turns his head to Girlfriend...]]
-->'''Scooby:''' [[spoiler:It's the monster!]]
** After clearing week 2's bonus song, Shaggy offers an explanation for his visit that simultaneously [[spoiler:implies that the Boyfriend is TheAgeless and indicates that the preceding BrutalBonusLevel was far from his true power.]]
--->'''Shaggy:''' Anyways, to tell the truth Scooby was looking for you. We came to your universe because [[spoiler:we heard a teenager was like, [[TheAgeless immortal]].]] And you bet me first try! [[spoiler:From my perspective at least... [[MediumAwareness I'm guessing you have some time resetting ability]], [[WillfullyWeak so I'm glad I didn't go full power against you]].]]

** When week 1's final song starts up, an UnexpectedGameplayChange is heralded by [[spoiler:Shaggy quickly powering up, causing ''six arrows'' to appear.]]
** Before week 2's bonus song starts, [[spoiler:Shaggy is finally reunited with Scooby. Then the Girlfriend suddenly ''[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisects]]'' the dog, quickly leading into a BrutalBonusLevel where Shaggy exerts far more of his power.]]

''[[https://gamebanana.com/mods/284121 Vs Shaggy]]'' is a ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' GameMod made by [[https://gamebanana.com/members/1819241 srPerez]], starring the aforementioned ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' character (specifically his MemeticBadass "[[Anime/DragonBallSuper Ultra Instinct]]" incarnation). Searching for Scooby inside a mansion, Norville "Shaggy" Rogers stumbles across the Boyfriend, who challenges Shaggy to sing with him.

While a bit reluctant to do so at first, Shaggy eventually relents to do a few songs with the Boyfriend. However, what may seem like an easy groove session with the Mystery Gang's most laid back member quickly turns into something a little more fast-paced. Will the Boyfriend be able to match Shaggy's levels, or will he quickly come to regret pushing Shaggy to unleash more of his power?
