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.

[[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.

* 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.

* 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.
