In Prismverse Saga
General Guy returns as an elite minion of Bowser, who is sent to take over the toy factory in Shivering Snowlands. But when he arrived, he found out the Star of Everfrost had caused the factory's systems to shut down, making his efforts useless, but he stayed in the factory to seize it until the chaos passes over. (SMATSP)

His future appearances are unknown.

Boss Battle
General Guy has two phases:

Phase 1:


 * He throws bombs from his tank, which can be thrown back to damage him.
 * He summons Stilt Guys.

After his defeat, General Guy destroys a portion of the chamber, initiating his toyblock cannon.

Phase 2:


 * He summons 2 Stilt Guys to assist him.
 * A cannon is situated in the middle of the arena, shooting toyblocks every 5 seconds.
 * His bomb-throwing attack still remains.

Trivia

 * The music that plays during his battle is Keeping Pace from Paper Mario. (AKA his boss theme from the said game)
 * General Guy is one of the bosses that return from Paper Mario, to get their revenge from Mario.
 * Others are Crystal King and Tutankoopa.

Lore
General Guy is one of the commanders that lead the existing flocks of Shy Guys in Mushroom World. As there are rumors saying the Shy Guys' origins came from the dreamworld known as Subcon, some say that's where General Guy came from. But how did he exit that dreamworld and ended up in the real world? Maybe he was in a dream like various people on a daily basis, and he found Shy Guys roaming in somewhere else? This mystery was never revealed nor solved in full detail.

But whatever happens next, he had sworn to fight alongside Koopa Clan at all costs, bringing victory to his lord, Bowser. And he's ready to do whatever means necessary. Whatever is behind his mask, it certainly would show his presence among Shy Guys more terrifying than others...
