Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Cackletta's Soul is the final boss of the game. After Mario and Luigi defeat Bowletta, she inhales them and they must battle her soul. In battle, Cackletta's Soul will use energy attacks against the Mario Bros., and they must destroy both of her arms and her head to expose her heart. When her heart has been exposed, the Mario Bros. must attack it to finally destroy her and beat the game. One of her attacks is to create an energy ball that will attempt to crush the Mario Brothers. When the player hammers it, it will come back down. The player will have to constantly hammer it until it explodes. Another attack is to stretch her arms out at the Marios, attempting to hit them. This can be countered by hammering her hands quickly. Her hands also attack. Her right one summons two fireballs to rotate around the Mario Bros. They must dodge it by jumping at the right time. Her left hand summons a ball of electricity that must be hit with a hammer. Hitting it will make it slide to the next brother. They must hit it until it breaks. When Cackletta is low on HP, she will have two new attacks. She will move her eyes up or down, indicating where she is going to fire a beam. If her eyes move up, she is going to fire upwards. If they move down, she will fire downwards. Mario and Luigi must jump or stand in the right position before Cackletta freezes time in order to dodge the beams. She also summons a ghost of Fawful that will shoot fireballs at the brothers then go close to one of them. Mario or Luigi must quickly hit it with a hammer or else it will continue to shoot more fireballs. If the brothers try to attack the head while the hands are still active, the hands will notice and attack afterwards. After the battle, the spirit leaves Bowser's body and disappears into thin air, so that Cackletta is finally defeated. It is unknown if Cackletta is really dead after her spirit disappears, but it is very likely she that is.
