'''Sergeant Guy''' is a green [[Shy Guy]] that first appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', where he serves as a minion and supporting character to [[Bowser]], and reprises the same role in its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. He also appears as an antagonist serving Bowser in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Sergeant Guy is also a recruitable unit in the submodes of both ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''.

Sergeant Guy carries a silver pipe and a [[Magikoopa]]'s wand on his back. His shoes are depicted as brown in his artwork and overworld sprite for ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''; his battle sprite erroneously depicts them as blue, though they remain blue for the rest of his other appearances.

==History==
===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===
[[File:MLBIS Elite Trio betrayal.png|thumb|left|Sergeant Guy and co. announcing their betrayal.]]
He is first seen with [[Corporal Paraplonk]] and [[Private Goomp]] attempting to take [[Bowser's Castle]] back from [[Fawful]] with a [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]] [[Banzai Bill Cannon|Cannon]]. However, the minions have no ammo and Bowser is forced to go inside and get some ammo. Once Bowser obtains the Banzai Bill, the three minions fire it into the castle. 

When Bowser turns into [[Super Bowser|giant Bowser]], he applauds when Bowser inflicts damage to [[Bowser's Castle]] as [[Corporal Paraplonk]] teaches Bowser how to battle.

Later on, in the [[Treasure Chamber]] in [[Bowser's Castle]], Sergeant Guy and his companions watch Bowser defeat the [[Fawful Express]] and once Bowser opens the safe, Sergeant Guy and the other minions push Bowser into the safe, stating that Fawful bribed them with rations.

Sergeant Guy was seen after the closing credits, where he and the other minions apologize for their treason, and ask Bowser if they could rejoin [[Bowser's Minions|his army]]. Bowser then orders them to get involved in the repairs of his castle like his other minions, indicating that they have been accepted back in.

Sergeant Guy reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', reprising his role in the main game, while appearing as an enemy and a recruitable ally in [[Bowser Jr.]]'s side story. He fights alongside other Shy Guys and again alongside Private Goomp and Corporal Paraplonk where he is a regular troop. In the post-game of the story, it was revealed that while Bowser pardoned him and his comrades of their treason against him, the rest of Bowser's Minions has yet to forgive them and even shunned them, citing they have to "earn back [their] trust," and Bowser Jr. believes their treason was due to being under the influence of the [[Malatone Formula:X]] earlier. In his battle sprite, his shoes are incorrectly colored blue instead of brown.

===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' it is revealed that Sergeant Guy was promoted along with his associates to Bowser's Royal Guard. He has a flag with a Bowser [[emblem]] on it. In contrast to the previous game, he is an antagonist instead of a protagonist, due to Bowser no longer being one of the protagonists as was the case in Bowser's Inside Story. He travels with Bowser to [[Pi'illo Island]] to find [[Princess Peach]]. Sergeant Guy also helps [[Kamek]] disguise as Princess Peach forming a lower section of the disguise. It is also shown that he and his associates dream of bossing around Kamek & Bowser one day. The trio are also fought in a boss battle as the [[Elite Trio]].

In battle, Sergeant Guy can attack by charging with a hammer, using his magic wand to turn [[Private Goomp]]'s minions into other Shy Guys that do the same. If Guy himself is struck, he will call the attack off. He can also attack by launching a [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]] via a [[Banzai Bill Cannon]] known as the [[Sergeant Guy Cannon]], leading to a chase attack where the Banzai Bill must be outrun. If the escape is successful, Sergeant Guy will get hit by the projectile instead. The trio have a chase attack where Sergeant Guy carries a bomb that must be outrun and [[Private Goomp]] and his minions have to be jumped over to avoid getting blown up. If the escape is unsuccessful, Sergeant Guy will drop his bomb, resulting in massive damage. If the trio fails to catch their target, the bomb explodes, damaging everyone except for any Goombas that managed to get away.

After being defeated, Kamek demotes them to janitors and sends them back to the castle. After [[Dreamy Bowser|Bowser]] is defeated, he, Kamek, Private Goomp, and Corporal Paraplonk decide to retreat. Although Bowser is mad that his plan failed and that it was [[Antasma]]'s fault, he tells his three minions that they did pretty well by their usual standards, much to their joy.

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
Sergeant Guy returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. He is encountered twice during ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]'' and is recruited after the second encounter. He is the first recruited and is a ranged unit, attacking using his magic wand. His [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]], Sure Shot, allows him to increase the accuracy of the team, with the amount depending on how much the meter shown is filled.
