Fawful from Mario and Luigi saga

“ I HAVE FURY! „ ~ Fawful's catchphrase and his most famous quote.

“Eeyah ha ha ha ha ha! I am the great Cackletta's most best pupil, who is named Fawful. I am here, laughing at you. If you are giving us the chase just to get your previous Princesses' voice back, then you are idiots of foolishness! Princess Peach's voice will soon be the bread that makes the sandwich of Cackletta's desires. And this battle will be the delicious mustard on that bread! The mustard of your doom! „ ~ Fawful's first words to the Mario Bros and Bowser.
“ I... have... DARKNESS! So very darkness! The dark power builds like a skyscraper of evil! With the dark power in me, the world... The world... IS FOR FAWFUL! „ ~ Fawful as he turned into Dark Fawful.

Fawful, known in Japan as Gerakobits (ゲラコビッツ, Gerakobittsu), is one of the main antagonists of the Mario & Luigi video game series.

A strange and eccentric genius from the Beanbean Kingdom, Fawful initially aided his late boss and mentor, Cackletta, in her plans. Following Cackletta's death, he becomes an independent villain seeking to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom and the world for himself. He is known for constantly speaking in grammatically incorrect English as well as often making obscure food metaphors. Additionally, he is the master of Midbus and the Best Fitness Friends, and one of the two arch-rivals of Bowser as well as a major foe for the Mario Bros.

He was voiced by Nami Funashima in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, with high pitched laugh effects being used for him for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Past

Though his past is largely unknown, Fawful was inferred to have been a long-time follower of Cackletta prior to the events of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and named himself as a pupil of hers in-game. He was officially confirmed to have gained his status as the greatest of Cackletta's students through his evil genius. Cackletta came to respect Fawful as she was impressed by his intelligence, eventually giving him his official role as her secondary.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Cackletta and Fawful, appear at the beginning of the game as they arrive at Princess Peach's castle disguised as the Goodwill Ambassador from the Beanbean Kingdom with a chest, claiming it to be a gift from Queen Bean to strengthen their kingdom's ties to the Mushroom Kingdom. As Princess Peach takes a look at the chest, it opens up to reveal gas that sprays Princess Peach in the face, tranquillizing her and taking away her voice, replacing it with explosives. Cackletta soon reveals herself, shocking all the Toads before making her getaway with Fawful, having gotten what she needs. The devilish duo is formally introduced to the heroes while they cloak themselves in the clouds on their way back to the Beanbean Kingdom to proceed in their conquest. Intermittent up in the eerie skies, the evil duet encounters the Mario Bros. and Bowser: who have formed a temporary alliance to stop the two villains. Having subdued Bowser, the furious Fawful proceeds to attack the Mario Brothers. In the skirmish, the Bros. destroy Fawful's Headgear and then continue to beat up the baddie. Now brimming with fury, Fawful summons another Headgear and uses it to knock Bowser's Koopa Cruiser out of the sky. Fawful appears again attacking Beanbean guards in the mountains. When Mario and Luigi encounter him, he summons a large stone to block their path.

Cackletta and Fawful later invade Woohoo University for its research and technology to build robots to contain Princess Peach's voice called "Peach-Bots." As soon as Mario and Luigi arrive, they enouchter fallen scientist whilst many escaped. If Mario and Luigi interact with one who fell, they explain Cackletta and Fawful attacked and turned many scientists into monsters, with no long words, scientist turns into monster and attacks. Later, Fawful finishes bots and Cackletta activates her Peach-Bots to speak to the Beanstar, only to make the Beanstar angry as it smashes through a floor grate, creating a giant hole beneath it, where it and the Peach-Bots fall into, which she finds to her dismay seconds later. It is later revealed that Toadsworth and others of the Mushroom Kingdom managed to avoid the plot by switching Peach with Birdo, who they dressed up like Peach. As a result, the Beanstar is furious by Birdo's voice and did not help Cackletta at all. Before she and Fawful can flee, they are cornered by the Mario Brothers and Fawful ends up being Hammered into the ground by Luigi before they attack Cackletta. With his mistress crippled, in order to save her, Fawful absorbs Cackletta's body into his headgear and is commanded to commence one more attack, but he is stopped by Prince Peasley, who rapidly attacks them with his sword and knocks them out of Woohoo University.

Sometime later, they find King Bowser of the Koopa Kingdom lying unconscious in Stardust Field when Fawful puts Cackeletta's ghost into Bowser's body and thus, the birth of "Bowletta".

Fawful appears again guarding Joke's End where he steals the Beanstar from Luigi after seeing through a fake one. As the Bros. finally make it up to the top of Joke's End, Luigi gives Fawful the fake Beanstar, but Fawful attacks Luigi, as he expected a trick and steals the real one from their briefcase.

Mario and Luigi then realize that Bowletta would not really return Princess Peach to them, so they come up with an idea. A few minutes later, when Mario approaches Bowletta and Fawful along with Princess Peach, he starts laughing as another Princess Peach appears beside him, who tells Bowletta that the Princess Peach she kidnapped is an imposter, shocking her. Bowletta then drops the Peach she's holding and grabs the other. As she and Fawful escape on the Koopa Cruiser, they question Princess Peach why she's holding her mouth. As she doesn't respond, Bowletta scares her to reveal the big moustache of Luigi's, as it turns out to be him the whole time. Luigi sheds his disguise and escapes with the Beanstar but, rather than going after him, Bowletta goes into Bowser's keep launching an air assault and conquer the Beanbean Kingdom with sheer brute force.

Fawful shows up again as the penultimate boss in Bowser's Castle. Fawful suits up in a skintight pink suit with a wing-like cloth under its arms (resembling Cackletta's) and now has a large mech that looks like his head and can shoot lasers. Fawful can attack the Bros. with an electric antenna in his head or he fly away and then charge at one of them but he is easily defeated. However, he plays dead and is able to electrocute Mario and Prince Peasley whilst making overly dramatic speeches only to be struck into the ground by Mario and smashed out of the Castle by Luigi's Hammer. He seemingly explodes as he falls, implying that is the end of him and an apparition resembling Fawful reappears as one of Cackletta's attacks in the final battle which would imply that he is dead. However, future events prove that this is merely a generation of him.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
Fawful reappears in this 3DS remake serving the same role as in the original game. However, he is also the main antagonist of the game's side-story Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser. In Minion Quest, Fawful brainwashes many of Bowser's minions under his command by spraying them with a gas that only minions with unwavering loyalty (or high "Minion Spirit") are immune to. Fawful originally planned to enslave Bowser, who he found unconscious on Hoohoo Mountain, but after Bowser awakened and escaped his grasp, Fawful decided to brainwash the Koopalings instead with an extremely potent version of his mind-controlling gas.

Fawful then ordered them to conquer different parts of the Beanbean Kingdom so he and Cackletta can take control of it entirely. However, Captain Goomba and his Goomba Squad managed to defeat each Koopaling in battle, freeing them from mind control and relinquishing each region they’ve conquered. Fawful fought the Goomba Squad at Bowser’s Castle where he was seemingly defeated. Although this was a ruse to trick the squad into working for Bowletta (who was disguised as Bowser). When Fawful was confronted by them a second time, he sent them down into the lower parts of the castle, where he battles them with his robotic forces and was eventually defeated for real, thus ending his plans. However, this presumably takes place before the events of his final battle since he was still within the castle.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Fawful returns as the owner of a badge shop named Fawful's Bean n' Badge beneath Peach's Castle, confirming his survival but does not play an antagonistic role this time. Eventually, the baby Mario Bros. (who are the only ones that can enter his shop due to having a drill move) can trade Beans for badges. He is clad in a similar outfit to the one that he wore during his previous battle although this version and black-jump suit with a curved collar instead of a spiked blue collar and pink one. He does not recognize the Bros' infant counterparts as the Mario Bros themselves, though he does comment that they seem rather familiar. Despite his attempt to make a more honest living, he foreshadows his eventual return to villainy in Bowser's Inside Story, by saying that he had before giving the heroes a hint as to their next objective.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story/Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey

Fawful returns once more a few years after Partners in Time, now having his own henchman Midbus to act as his brawn. He tricks Bowser into eating a Vacuum Mushroom (making him think it was a Lucky Mushroom) and takes control over him. Bowser sucks up the Mario Bros., Peach, Toadsworth, and a number of Toads into his stomach bloats, then falls unconscious from exhaustion, leaving Peach's Castle for Fawful. Bowser wakes up early and escapes from the cave Fawful put him in at Cavi Cape but Fawful encounters him again outside and boasts about fooling him and his plan to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. Right at that moment, Bowser's Castle is under siege by Fawful's forces which easily take the castle. Fawful somehow brainwashes most of Bower's minions (But traps some of them in cages scattered across the game) and Bowser's Castle is remodeled to Fawful Theater. After a long walk, Bowser eventually reaches his castle, now known as Fawful Theater, where Fawful takes him onstage to fight Midbus. After Bowser defeats Midbus, Fawful leaves and has his brainwashed Boos take Bowser to a buffet full of extremely unhealthy foods, and force-feed him until Bowser's immense weight gain causes him to fall in and get stuck in the floor. Fawful takes Princess Peach out of Bowser's body, so he can use her for his plan later on. Bowser gets unstuck and manages lose his weight onto a treadmill immensely and literally burning all the calories off of him, but his fiery muscles ignite a storage area full of Bob-ombs, and he is blasted all the way back to Cavi Cape into the Underground Tunnel.

After finding a pipe leading out of Bowser, Mario, Luigi and Starlow hear Fawful searching for the Dark Star in the Toad Town caves and attempt to reach it before he does. Unfortunately, Fawful is able to reach it before them and makes quick work of the security system guarding it. Just as the three of them enter the room, Fawful blasts them all away and boasts to the Mario brothers about awakening it and having anyone who opposes him "beat like naughty little eggs." He then flies off to Peach's Castle, completely taking it over, and attaches the Dark Star a machine that drains Peach of her powers in order to break the seal on the Dark Star. The Mario Bros. attempt to reach the castle but the slowly awakening Dark Star creates a dark barricade on the bridge. Fawful then sends a Fawfulcopter out to them that he uses to boast and mock them more as they are forced to withdraw.

Later on, after collecting the three Star Cures that form the Miracle Cure that cures the Blorbs, the Mario Bros. are able to use the cure to destroy the barricade although it also vanishes in the process. When the Bros. and Starlow get to the castle's courtyard, they find the whole castle is full of Fawful's minions, and have to traverse through the dangerous fortress until they finally reach where Fawful has been awakening the Dark Star. Fawful is using a sort of magic that Princess Peach has to awaken it, which weakens the princess immensely. Bowser arrives before the Dark Star was fully awakened, and Midbus tells his master that he'll take him on. Fawful agreed and used an ice ray gun to power up Midbus, turning him into Blizzard Midbus. After Bowser defeated Blizzard Midbus, the Dark Star awoke, and Fawful rushes over to it and uses his Vacuum Helmet to absorb its power, but Bowser interrupts him by punching him away before he could gain more than half of it. He becomes the much more powerful Dark Fawful. The Dark Star enters Bowser's body, against the will of him, and starts to absorb some of Bowser's DNA. The Dark Star slowly generates a clone of Bowser, and this leads to the Bros. trying to stop the Dark Star before it can become more powerful.

After the Bros. attempt and fail to destroy the Dark Star, it leaves Bowser's body and transforms into a weakened Dark Bowser. As Bowser and Dark Bowser are conferring of Princess Peach being taken, they both hear Fawful calling for the Dark Star so he can drain the rest of its power. Dark Bowser then remembers that Fawful was the one who drained it and leaves the room in search of him. Bowser tries to follow him but instead runs into Dark Fawful who, in his anger at not getting all of the Dark Star's power, initiates the castle's transformation into 'Super Peach's Castle of Fury' and flies back into the castle. The giant robot then crushes Bowser but, thanks again to the Mario Bros. he is able to grow to giant size and fight with it. It should be noted that the robot castle is also capable of generating black holes, which shows how intelligent Fawful is, at least when it comes to technology.

Bowser damages the castle robot enough for it to resume acting like a regular castle, re-enters the castle, fights Dark Fawful and defeats him, destroying most of him, but still lives as a smaller being made of Dark Matter. He escapes and is then inhaled by the Dark Star, completing its dark power and finally completing Dark Bowser. Bowser chases Dark Bowser, who also has an unconscious Princess Peach, to the top of Peach's Castle. The Final battle begins. During the Battle after Dark Bowser loses 1000 HP, Dark Fawful Bug heals him and powers him up making him huge. Punching Dark Bowser's stomach makes him spit out what's left of Fawful and lose his power-up. Bowser can then inhale him for the Mario Bros. to fight. Once he falls into him he turns into a gigantic fusion of Fawful and the Dark Star. By breaking Fawful's glasses and his three-leg appendages, the Bros. can finally directly damage the Dark Star Core, the source of all the negative energy. When the core is destroyed, Dark Bowser is severely weakened, and Bowser lands the final blows. The Dark Star is finally destroyed for good, and the purple wind and bleak sky disappears, restoring the light to the Mushroom Kingdom.

As for Fawful, he survived the battle, though he was reduced to a head and fading without the Dark Star to sustain him. He feigns remorse, but he gives one psychotic smile in his final attempt to destroy the Mario Bros, self-destructing during one final suicidal attempt in a massive explosion that, instead of destroying them, forced them and all of the Toads out of Bowser. The Mushroom Kingdom returns to normal, thus bringing Fawful's mad reign to an end, and ending the mad Beanish once and for all.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey

Fawful serves as the main antagonist in the 3DS remake of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. In the game's side-story Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Fawful is the one who assigned the Best Fitness Friends to steal Bowser's Castle from Bowser Jr. and the Koopa Troop while Bowser is away. He only appears twice in the mode, at the beginning where he instructs the Best Fitness Friends to infiltrate Bowser's Castle while he captures Bowser at Peach's Castle. Later in Dimble Wood, Fawful obtains a Vacuum Shroom from Dieter and uses it to make Bowser suck up Peach and the Mario Bros. However, unknown to Fawful, the BFF's name actually stood for "Brute Force Federation" and they have tricked Fawful and steal the Bowser Castle for themselves in plan to overthrow him and rule the Mushroom Kingdom for themselves.
