The Mario Bros. encounter Rookie once more at [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], down in the university's basement, right after Popple finds the [[Beanstar]] which had just fallen right next to him. Popple once more orders Rookie to fight the Bros. to protect the Beanstar. This time, Popple and Rookie have their own versions of [[Bros. Attack]]s, but the Bros. still defeat them without much effort. After the battle, a [[Peach-bot]] falls into the room and enrages the Beanstar with its squeaking, causing it to enlarge and fly out of the room.

Mario, Luigi, Popple, and Rookie grab onto the Beanstar in an attempt to stop its escape; however, the combined stress of hearing the Peach-bot's unpleasant voice and bearing the collective weight of the Mario Bros., Popple, and Rookie causes the Beanstar to shatter into four pieces. Each of the four clingers begin to fall off one by one until only Rookie is left, as the fragmented Beanstar heads toward Stardust Fields. It is only as he returns to the place where he lost his memory that Rookie at last remembers that he is Bowser. His recollection is short-lived, however, as he falls off the Beanstar before it breaks into four pieces, and [[Fawful]] encounters an unconscious Bowser and uses his body to house Cackletta's soul, creating [[Bowletta]].

It is only as he returns to the place where he lost his memory that Rookie at last remembers that he is Bowser, and then willingly lets go of the Beanstar.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Rookie's origin is significantly expanded upon. The remake reveals that Rookie's creation was indirectly and unintentionally engineered by [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]], the main protagonist of ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. The reason for Rookie joining Popple is also revealed in a flashback: after losing his memory, Bowser collapsed from hunger. Popple was stealing food from [[Hoohoo Village]] at the time, and accidentally fed the amnesiac Koopa King when he tripped while escaping. Mistaking this mishap for genuine kindness, Bowser began to follow Popple around in spite of the thief's initial protests.
