==Background==
==Background==
'''General Guy''' is the leader of an army of Shy Guys and the mastermind responsible for the numerous robberies in Toad Town during the events of Chapter 4 in ''Paper Mario''. His main base of operations is the Shy Guy's Toy Box, where he rules the local Shy Guys and is in turn very loyal to Bowser. His army obeys him without question and he lauds them for their bravery, although his overconfidence in himself is proven unwarranted once he is defeated by Mario, leaving him screaming and fleeing in panic with the rest of the Shy Guys. He has a straightforward, formal and military-esque way of speaking in general, although at one point he childishly claims that Watt's attack is "too strong" and that Mario is cheating. He wears a peaked cap and gray robes decked with shoulder patches and a gold medal with a red ribbon on it.

"Under Construction!"
This article or section will be subject to revision in the near future. The current statistics or information does not fully reflect our views.
So, you came, did you? I’m General Guy. We’re following the orders of King Bowser by guarding a Star Spirit. As long as we keep it secure, we have permission to do what ever we want. You hear!?
~ General Guy

Background

General Guy is the leader of an army of Shy Guys and the mastermind responsible for the numerous robberies in Toad Town during the events of Chapter 4 in Paper Mario. His main base of operations is the Shy Guy's Toy Box, where he rules the local Shy Guys and is in turn very loyal to Bowser. His army obeys him without question and he lauds them for their bravery, although his overconfidence in himself is proven unwarranted once he is defeated by Mario, leaving him screaming and fleeing in panic with the rest of the Shy Guys. He has a straightforward, formal and military-esque way of speaking in general, although at one point he childishly claims that Watt's attack is "too strong" and that Mario is cheating. He wears a peaked cap and gray robes decked with shoulder patches and a gold medal with a red ribbon on it.

"If you're familiar with things like Popeye and some of the old comic characters, you would oftentimes see this cast of characters that takes on different roles depending on the comic or cartoon," Miyamoto said. "They might be businessman in one [cartoon] or a pirate in another. Depending on the story that was being told, they would change roles. So, to a certain degree, I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games."
