Line 20 ⟶ 21:
Fawful accompanies Cackletta to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] during the events of the game, where he aids her in stealing [[Princess Peach's voice]], which was needed to awaken the [[Beanstar]]. While the two are on their way to the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], their kingdom of residence, they encounter [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Bowser]], who have formed a temporary alliance to stop the two villains. After taking care of Bowser, Fawful attacks the Mario Bros., who manage to destroy his [[Vacuum Helmet]]. However, Fawful summons another Vacuum Helmet after that and uses it to knock Bowser's [[Koopa Cruiser]] out of the sky before departing. He is not seen again until the brothers arrive on [[Hoohoo Mountain]], where he blocks their path with a large stone. He later appears in [[Beanbean Castle]], stealing the Beanstar alongside Cackletta and force-feeding [[Queen Bean]], the kingdom's benevolent ruler, a [[Belly Blech Worm]] to aid in their escape.
 
[[File:Cackletta1.png|frame|left|Fawful unleashes [[Cackletta]]'s soul into [[Bowser]]'s body as [[Rookie]], allowing her to possess his body to create [[Bowletta]].]]
The villianous pair next assaults [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], where he and Cackletta plan to awaken the Beanstar using several [[Peach-bot]]s, Fawful had designed. However, due to some planning on the princess's part, the voice used is that of [[Birdo]], which irritates the Beanstar so much that it smashes through the floor and into the basement. Shortly afterward, the Mario Bros. arrive and engage Fawful in battle. After dispatching him, they incapacitate Cackletta. Fawful soon recovers and sucks his mistress's energy into his Vacuum Helmet. Before he can attack the brothers again, he is sent flying through the roof by [[Prince Peasley]]. Landing in [[Stardust Fields]], Fawful finds an unconscious [[Bowser]], whose body Cackletta possesses. Cackletta then begins to call herself [[Bowletta]]. Fawful then accompanies her to [[Little Fungitown]], where they abduct the princess.

Fawful then accompanies her to [[Little Fungitown]], where they abduct the princess.
The Mario Bros. later encounter Fawful at [[Joke's End]] under the pretense of exchanging the Beanstar for Peach, though they use a fake. Fawful recognizes this, however, and takes the real one as well as Princess Peach on board a repaired Koopa Cruiser. However, this Princess Peach is actually [[Luigi]] in disguise, who utilizes the pair's rage and shock to retrieve the Beanstar and escape. Fawful then follows Cackletta to [[Bowser's Castle]], from which she plans to destroy both the Mushroom and Beanbean Kingdoms.

Fawful returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' after 8 years of absence. His role in the main story is very similar to that of the original game but he also appears as the main antagonist and final boss in the remake's new mode, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions#Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser|Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]''. He intended to enslave Bowser and work him to death. He also proceeded to brainwash the Koopalings into trying to conquer the Beanbean Kingdom over trying to rescue Bowser. The group encounters Fawful at Bowser's Castle, and although he taunts the squad mercilessly, they defeat him and make their way to Bowser's chamber, where Bowser (seemingly returned), immediately tells Captain Goomba to "destroy" Mario; it is presumed that the army turns its attention to the Mario Bros after this. After a while, it turns out "Bowser" was actually Bowletta in disguise, and when Captain Goomba confronts them about this, she and Fawful use a trapdoor to send the squad into a dungeon, which turns out to be a Mechawful factory. After a long final battle which tests all the skill levels, the minions defeat Fawful one last time and escape the dungeon. After this, Fawful goes on to stop the Mario bros. but once again loses to them and is knocked out of the castle by Luigi where he plummets to his death.
 
In the remake, his second form was redesigned to have a more prominent collar, while the antennae has become massive and bulbous.
 
===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===
 
{{non-canon}}
In the remake of ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', he has largely the same role in the game's remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', although he also has a minor role in the side story ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', being the one in charge of the three primary villains of that mode, the [[Best Fitness Friends]]. It is also implied in that mode that he had a hand in Bowser not being invited to the emergency meeting for the Blorbs outbreak at Peach's Castle. It was also later revealed that the Best Fitness Friends were plotting to betray Fawful so they could take full control of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Fawful is also in the [[Super Mario-Kun]] manga, filling the same role as in ''Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''.

==Trivia==
Line 198 ⟶ 206:
*In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Fawful shares his battle music with Popple in every version outside of Japan. In the Japanese version, Fawful shares his battle theme with Cackletta when facing her at Woohoo Hooniversity.
*In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', there is a [[Brock]] dressed as a Pink [[Zeekeeper]] that says "I have excitement!" when talked to, much like how Fawful speaks.
*Due to the canonity status of ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' Fawful's possible "death" never happened in the main timeline. Instead his actual (canon) death occurs in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'' where he is tossed out the window and explodes after his defeat as he is never seen again after that.
