Whoever wins the duel will immediately win the battle since the win condition for a battle is defeating the enemy teams captain.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: As far as how they function in combat goes they each function almost exactly the same as their standard counterparts, however their stats are significantly higher level for level than any of the non captain units in the game, being able to fight off multiple similarly leveled enemy units simultaneously with ease.

* AscendedExtra: A very, very exaggerated example. In the original game he was a goomba that didn't stand out from any of the other Goombas in any way, only showed up for one scene in a tutorial fight, had no speaking lines and was never mentioned again. In the remake he's the star of his own game mode and is shown to have inadvertently been a major contributor to the events of the story.

* NoNameGiven: Played straight for all of the captains except for Captain Goomba who actually [[AvertedTrope gives his name]] to Bowser as [[ADogNamedDog "Goomba"]] at one point.
* NoSell: They all have access to the captain command "Deny" which will immediately shut down any enemy skill as long as it's still charging.
* ScissorsCutsRock: They're so much stronger compared to normal units that when fighting nearly any unit one on one that beats them in ElementalRockPaperScissors they'll still win most of the time unless they're severely outleveled by a normal unit or fighting a similarly leveled enemy captain.
* WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], If they fall in battle the remaining members of the unit will panic and flee, however the same applies to enemy squad captains.
[[WMG: Captain Goomba]]
An average Goomba who gains the starring role in Minion Quest when his fellow minions pressure him into accepting the role of captain after Bowser goes missing.

* BreakTheCutie: When Bowser, as Rookie, attacks him and chooses to follow Popple instead of the Captains, he breaks down and cries. It eventually becomes [[HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]] when the other captains begin to cheer him up.
* ButtMonkey: He practically has it worst than Luigi!
* {{Determinator}}: Stops at absolutely nothing to find Bowser. Even as Bowser (as Rookie) is barraging him with flames, he still tries to get Bowser to join his side.
* TheDitz: The other captains and even ''other Goombas'' make constant remarks about his stupidity.

* DuelingPlayerCharacters: While not obvious until Minion Quest is unlocked, Mario fights him early on in the game for a tutorial battle. You never get to fight Mario while playing as him however.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Early on, he jumps off of a waterfall in order to take a shortcut down the side of a mountain. During his fall he conks Bowser on the head hard enough to make him lose his memory which ends up being the cause of most of the problems in both Superstar Saga and Minion Quest.

* NoSell: Fawful's brainwashing spray has no effect on Captain Goomba, as he possesses [[UndyingLoyalty true minion spirit]].
* UseYourHead: In true Goomba fashion, his main attack is charging head first and his special skill is the Rocket Headbutt.
[[WMG: Captain Shy Guy]]
A Shy Guy met in the Beanbean Kingdom and the only captain who actually deliberately asks to be a captain. Joins Captain Goomba as a captain after realizing how clueless Captain Goomba is.
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially to Captain Goomba.
* HiddenDepths: At the Cutie Battle Contest, C. Goomba and C. Boo suggests that C. Shyguy would make for a nice "cute" mascot for their team. This immediately causes him to be very self-conscious about his appearance as well as getting stage fright.
* PetTheDog: At one point in the story, one of the enemies tries to persuade him to join the other side to which he disagrees. Why? [[TheyReallyDoLoveEachOther Because he thinks that Captain Goomba is "good people".]]
* ProducePelting: Throws turnips as his main attack, and throws a giant one with his special skill.
* {{Jerkass}}/JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He sticks out as the most abrasive captain of the four. [[PetTheDog Though he still has his share of friendly moments]], particularly with Captain Goomba.
* TheSmartGuy: Of the four captains, C. Shyguy seems to be the most adept one. He immediately realizes how incompetent C. Goomba is at his job and decides to help him.
* TheStoic: At times.
-->'''Sergeant Guy''': In fact, you should become my underling! Some of my esteem may rub off on you!
-->'''Captain Shy Guy''': Nah. I'm going to keep following Captain Goomba. He's good people. I don't really care whether I become esteemed or not.
-->'''Sergeant Guy''': I will not stand for such blatant indifference!
* SummonMagic: His signature Captain Command, Call for Backup, calls in a random minion to join the battle.
[[WMG: Captain Boo]]
A Boo that Captain Goomba and Captain Shy Guy find in Chucklehuck Woods. Despite his protests, Captain Goomba forces him to become one of the captains.
* CombatPragmatist: His signature Captain Command is Sneak Attack, which attacks the enemy captain from behind.
* TheDragAlong: Initially he didn't want to become one of the captains, though Captain Goomba unwittingly forces him to do it.
* OnlySaneMan: Downplayed, but he's the most "regular" in terms of personality.
[[WMG: Captain Koopa]]
A Koopa Troopa found in Teehee Valley. He loves making puns to the dismay of everyone except Captain Goomba.
* AlmightyJanitor: Was the head of cleaning at Bowser's Castle before the quest.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: His signature Captain Command, Shell Shock, which attacks all enemies near Captain Koopa but lowers his defense afterwards.
* TheHeart: The nicest and most upbeat of the captains. The first thing he does when he finds the others is exclaim "Buddies!"
* MartialPacifist: At one point, C. Koopa suggests that maybe instead of fighting Popple, they should instead peacefully talk with him to make amends and to locate Bowser. Needless to say, this backfires, prompting the 4 captains to fight his army.
