Fawful

"Princess Peach's sweet voice will soon be the bread that makes the sandwich of Cackletta's desires! And this battle shall be the delicious mustard on that bread! The mustard of your doom!"

- Fawful



Fawful (known as Gerakobittsu in Japan) is a henchman to Cackletta. He is her right-hand man and inventor. His main transport is a helmet (his "Headgear") with rocket-jets. There is a vacuum peripheral on the helmet, which can be used to shoot energy balls, but was also used to suck in Cackletta's spirit to transfer to Bowser and create Bowletta. This could be that Fawful's Headgear is some kind of Vacuum-like object.

Fawful accompanied Cackletta to the Mushroom Kingdom where he aided here in stealing the Princess's voice. While the two were on their way to the BeanBean Kingdom they encountered the Mario Bros. and Bowser who had formed a temporary alliance to stop the two villains. Taking care of Bowser, Fawful attacked the Mario Brothers. The Bros. destroyed Fawful's Headgear and then beat him. Unfortunately, Fawful summoned another Headgear and used it to knock Bowser's Koopa Cruiser out of the sky.

Fawful appeared again attacking BeanBean guards in the mountains. When Mario and Luigi encountered him, he summoned a large stone to block their path.

Fawful attacked Woohoo Hooniversity with Cackletta; it was there that they planned to awaken the Beanstar with Princess Peach's voice. The plan didn't work out so well; it seemed the Princess was aware of the villains' plan and had gone into hiding, and the Princess whose voice had been stolen was Birdo. Birdo's squawking voice irritated the Beanstar so much it smashed through the floor and then the Mario Bros. showed up. The Bros. took out Fawful and then fought Cackletta who they defeated and crippled. Fawful sucked his mistress's energy into his Headgear and planned to attack the Mario Bros., only to be stopped and flung through the roof by Prince Peasley. Landing in Stardust Fields, Fawful found an unconscious Bowser whose body Cackletta possessed. Cackletta then began to call herself Bowletta.

Fawful appeared again guarding Joke's End where he stole the Beanstar from Luigi after seeing through a fake one. Like Bowletta, Fawful was fooled by Luigi pretending to be the Princess and as a result, the plumber was able to steal back the Beanstar.

Fawful showed up again as the final boss before Bowletta in Bowser's Castle. Fawful now had a large mech that looked like his head and could shoot lasers. Mario and Luigi could only attack Fawful when the mech overheated and he was forced to come out. After beating him in battle, Fawful tried one last ditch effort to beat the Mario Bros., but only ended up being knocked out of the castle by Prince Peasley.

Fawful appears again in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, running a shop in the sewers of Princess Peach's Castle. He is only encountered by the babies, whom he does not recognize as the younger versions of Mario & Luigi. He goes on a long speech to them about how the brothers defeated him in the previous game.

He has a wacky way of talking, saying things like "I have FURY!!!" and making obscure food metaphors for Cackletta's evil plans. This is a parody of English-speaking used in early video games.

Trivia

 * A Sammer Guy talked similarly to him; in fact, he was named Mustard of Doom.
 * Fawful's name could be a reference to Jawfuls from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
