'''Sergeant Guy''' is a [[Green Shy Guy]] that carries a silver pipe (it could also be a telescope or a little canon) and a [[Magikoopa]]'s wand on his back. He is a minion of [[Bowser]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. He is first seen with [[Corporal Paraplonk]] and [[Private Goomp]] attempting to take [[Bowser's Castle]] back from [[Fawful]] with a [[Banzai Bill]] [[Banzai Bill Blaster|Blaster]]. 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.

'''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''.
 
==Appearance==
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.

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 the Koopa Troop 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 [[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.
