Castle Guard

The Castle Guard is a group of four minor characters who guard Greenhorne Castle inside and out.

Serious Soldier[]

"If it's a royal palace or a hill of beans, he'll defend it with his life."

The Serious Soldier stands at the gate of the castle, preventing the player from entering before they obtain the Mayor's Introduction. He also prevents the player from approaching Neksdor before finishing every Greenhorne quest. He stands at the right side next to the door going to The Throne Room. He also has special dialogue in the demo for when the demo is over.

Quotes

When you first approach: "You are approaching Greenhorne Castle. I'm sorry, but I can't let..."
With Mayor's Introduction: "Oh! You have a letter of introduction from the mayor!"
In the Demo: "Unfortunately, this is as far as you can go in this demo. However, if I may say so... a grand adventure awaits in the full version of the game!"
In the full version: "My apologies! Go right ahead!"
"This is King [King's Name]'s castle. Mind your manners."
"Ugh, we just let the enemy walk in... A huge monster you've never seen the likes of."
"The next kingdom is beyond the mountains to the east. That's where the prince is headed."

Lax Soldier[]

"Doesn't mind slacking off. It's Greenhorne, for crying out loud."

The Lax Soldier stands at the left side next to the door going to The Throne Room.

Quotes

"The king has a lot of time to sit around and eat. Goes to show what a peaceful country we are."
"Oh, please no! Forgive me!"
"The Dark Lord was even bigger than the king!"

Royal Support (Right)[]

"He looks like he's trying hard, but he tends to daydream...a lot."

His role is to support the King's throne at the right side.

Quotes

"It's a lot of work supporting the king... You've got to be really committed. You've got to take it super seriously."
"I'm rippled with muscles under this armor. But I'm not much good in a fight."

Royal Support (Left)[]

"Eternally loyal to the king, but a bit too set in his ways."

His role is to support the King's throne at the left side.

Quotes

"I have but one job. I support the king. It's a... heavy task."
"I have but one job. I support the king. Except for when that entails fighting monsters."

Trivia[]

In Oceania and European regions, Royal Support (Left) is known as "Left Royal Support" and Royal Support (Right) as "Right Royal Support".
In the Nintendo Switch version, the Castle Guard characters are also given different default names in European regions:
- The Serious Soldier is named Stern.
- The Lax Soldier is named Trevor.
- The Left Royal Support is named Lefty.
- The Right Royal Support is named Dexter.
Despite appearing in the same segment as the King in the credits, their names and roles are not mentioned when the curtains close.
- This is most likely due to them having a minor role, with the Mii characters chosen being randomly generated before the player can select which Mii plays which respective role.
The default Mii used for the Lax Soldier in the Switch version (Bernie) has the exact same design as the Mii used for the Warrior‘s artwork for the 3DS version, albeit with a lighter skin tone.
Additionally, the default Mii used for the Serious Soldier resembles Leonel, a CPU Mii from Wii Sports Club.
When the Hero is forced to turn back from the Serious Soldier without the Mayor's Introduction, their expression is different depending on their personality:
- Kind and Cautious Miis will have a sad face.
- Cool Miis will have their eyes closed.
- Stubborn Miis will have their eyes closed frowning.
- Energetic, Laid-back, and Airheaded Miis will have a pouting face.
