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.
