'''Bowletta''' is the result of [[Cackletta]]'s spirit inhabiting [[Bowser]]'s body, who appears as the final boss of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. After the Mario Bros. beat Cackletta at [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], [[Fawful]] sucks her spirit into his [[Vacuum Helmet|headgear]]. They later find Bowser unconscious in [[Stardust Fields]], after the [[Beanstar]] exploded, and Cackletta's ghost leaves the headgear to take over Bowser.

Bowletta and Fawful kidnap [[Princess Peach]] while Mario is sick with [[Bean Fever]] and Luigi is out to find the cure; it is revealed when Luigi returns to [[Little Fungitown]] with the [[Crabbie Grass]]. When Luigi and the newly cured Mario arrive at [[Beanbean Castle Town]], Bowletta sends them a message telling them to bring her the four pieces of the destroyed Beanstar in exchange for Princess Peach.

Angered by the trick, Bowletta and Fawful head to the Mushroom Kingdom, where they fly Bowser's Castle back to the Beanbean Kingdom and attack the castle town. After Mario and Luigi reach the castle and arrive at the throne room, where Bowletta is waiting, she reveals that she intends to take over the Mushroom Kingdom after she is done with the Beanbean Kingdom and battles the Mario Bros. When Bowletta is defeated, a [[Time Bob-omb]] appears and knocks Mario and Luigi out and Bowletta, having faked her defeat, swallows them. Inside her body, Mario and Luigi must face Cackletta's spirit, and when she is finally defeated the Mario Bros. are returned to the castle, Bowser is returned to normal, and her spirit vanishes.

Bowletta retains Cackletta's facial appearance, including her purple eyes, large head and mouth, and the two pink horns replacing Bowser's own horns, although she has Bowser's red hair between them. Her body resembles Bowser's except for the fact that she has a smaller tail and pale yellow circular lumps on her chest instead of Bowser's normal underbelly. Bowletta is also less round, but has a more hunched appearance. While their scales are the same color, Bowletta's green coloration is lighter than Bowser's. Bowletta wears both sets of Bowser's arm bracers but lacks his collar.

[[File:MLSS-Bowletta Most Powerful Attack.png|frame|Bowletta's most powerful attack.]]

Bowletta's main attack is breathing fire. Her first such fire attack involves shooting comet-like fireballs. Some will need to be jumped over by the Bros. and others will turn into [[Flaret]]s, fireball enemies which can heal Bowletta for 35 HP if she absorbs them. Her second, more damaging fire attack begins with Bowletta magically summoning blocks over the brother's heads: the brothers must destroy the blocks by rapidly jumping into them and then preparing to jump over the violent burst of fire that occurs five seconds after the blocks appear. Finally, Bowletta can briefly transform into a darker form in which she summons stars from the sky to hit the Bros. Green stars will hit Luigi, red stars will hit Mario, and both stars will harm Bowletta if countered with a hammer; the purple stars which also fall do not damage anyone. If Mario and Luigi do not counter the stars with their hammers, there is a chance that they may get [[dizzy]]. This form of Bowletta is also hazardously-surfaced, and will damage the Bros. should they try to use jumping attacks without the proper badges needed to damage Bowletta.
