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---and becomes one of the major contributors to the events of the entire story of ''Superstar Saga'', both Mario Bros and Minion Quest.
* AFatherToHisMen: How about we let Captain Shy Guy say it for us?
-->'''Captain Shy Guy:''' He reminds me of Lord Bowser.

* DeadpanSnarker: Especially to 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.
-->'''Sergeant Guy:''' I will not stand for such blatant indifference!

* DeadpanSnarker(s): Whenever Captain Goomba does something incompetent or acts clueless, the Goombas shoot out their share of snark to cope with it.

* CowardlyLion: Like most boos, he's timid and often turns invisible when threatened or otherwise frightened during cutscenes, but he can still lead a squad and tear through non-captain enemies like the other captains.

* DeadpanSnarker(s): Whenever Captain Goomba does something incompetent or acts clueless, the goombas shoot out their share of snark to cope with it.

* ButtMonkey: He practically has it worse than Luigi! ''VideoGame/BowserJrsJourney'' takes it UptoEleven by having him be the punching bag to Bowser Jr.

* PutOnaBus: Does not reappear in ''VideoGame/BowserJrsJourney'' despite his role in ''Minion Quest''

* SpannerintheWorks: [[spoiler:Cackletta and Fawful might have gotten away with deceiving Captain Goomba and the Minions, [[ExactEavesdropping if he hadn't been listening in on their conversation]]]].

* TheDitz: The other captains and even ''other Goombas'' make constant remarks about his stupidity.

* {{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.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: Captain Goomba is directly responsible for some of the events in ''Superstar Saga'', most notably Bowser's amnesia, Prince Peasley getting eaten by a Piranha Bean, and Mario eating a Poison Mushroom instead of the Invincishroom.

* BreakTheCutie: When Bowser, as Rookie, attacks him and chooses to follow Popple instead of the Captains, he breaks down and cries. It eventually becomes SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} when the other captains begin to cheer him up.

-->'''Goomba:''' Huh. I think I can see that aura too...
-->'''Captain Goomba:''' YOUCH! Who's responsible for this? Who built a wall here?!
-->'''Goomba:''' There's an aura all right. An aura of stupidity...

* 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.

* FromNobodyToNightmare: He turns from a random soldier in Bowser's army into arguably Fawful's worst nightmare, and through sheer willpower and loyalty, manages to rescue ''all of his friends and comrades.''
