Cackletta



Cackletta (or Kikimona in Japan) is an evil witch from the Beanbean Kingdom and the main villain of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga for the Game Boy Advance.

Throughout the whole game, she oft is with Fawful, her assistant who speaks in metaphores, sycophant and simile, usually relating to food or yelling, "I HAVE FURY!". Early in the game, Cackletta stole Princess Peach's voice and used it to steal the Beanstar. Beanbean lore states that only one with a beautiful voice can activate the Beanstar's mysterious powers to grant any wishâ€¦ Cackletta hoped to use this power to conquer Beanbean Kingdom and soon after, the Mushroom Kingdom. Cackletta's plans backfire, however, when she attempts to use Peach's voice by putting the voice in robots codenamed "Peachbots". She finds that Toadsworth and others of the Mushroom Kingdom avoided the Plot and switched Peach with Birdo, whom they dressed up like Peach. As a result, the Beanstar was furious by Birdo's voice in Woohoo Hooniversity and did not help Cackletta at all ans instead the Mario Bros. came and gave her a suprise attack at the wrong time (for her). They fought until Cackeletta was so badly injured, she could not move. Fawful came and absorbed Cackeletta's body in his "headgear". Cackeletta then commanded Fawful to do one more attack, but however, he was stopped by Prince Peasley hitting them with his sword and out of Woohoo Hooniversity.

King Bowser of the Koopa Kingdom was lying unconcious in Stardust Fields, Beanbean Kingdom side, when Fawful put Cackeletta's ghost into Bowser's body and thus, the birth of "Bowletta". Now that Bowletta could control Beanbean minions and Koopa minions, she was more powerful than ever and plotted to steal the Beanstar again and get the real Peach's voice. She succeded in kidnapping Princess Peach. She then offered a deal with the Mario Bros.: give her the Beanstar and she would return Peach. Prince Peasley had a plan to give her a fake Benastar and meet them at the top of Joke's End. After many long battles, the bros. finally made it up to the top of Joke's End. Luigi gave Fawful the fake Beanstar, but Fawful saw right through the disguise and knocked down the bros. suitecase.

Mario followed after Luigi and they had an idea. A few minutes later another Princess Peach came out along with Mario, holding her mouth. Mario cracks up and Bowletta understands that the Peach she's holding is a fake. She drops the Peach she's holding and grabs the other. They then go to the Koopa Cruiser and ask her why she's holding her mouth, she doesn't respond, then Fawful scares her to reveal a big mustache of Luigi's and it turns out to be Luigi the whole time and he makes a getaway.

In the mean time, Bowletta plans a plot to destroy the Beanbean Kingdom and then after the bros. are destroyed, the Musroom Kingdom, she goes in Bowser's Keep and succesfully destroys Beanbean Castle town. The bros. go to Hoohoo Village and tell Blablanadon that Bowser's Keep is overhead and now he should take them up. Fawful then informs Bowletta that the Mario Bros. are coming and Bowletta orders the original 7 Koopalings and Fawful to guard her castle, they fought and fought Bowletta until finally she got an idea, she wouldpretend to be defeated and then, when they let their guards down, she would summon a Bob-Omb to explode at them. It worked and then, afterwards, ate them. Inside Bowser's stomach, Mario and Luigi, barely concious, found Cackletta's ghost inside of the body and fought to the death. After defeating the spirit, it left Bowser's body, returning him to normal.

Cackletta is the first female character in a Mario game to be the main villain. Though Captain Syrup and the Golden Diva technically appeared before her, they appeared in games in the Wario Land series. Cackletta was followed by the Shadow Queen, the last boss in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Princess Shroob from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.
