### Weight

Unknown

**Fawful** is a secondary antagonist in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga+Bowser's Minions, a minor character in Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, and the main antagonist of Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story+Bowser Jr.'s Journey. A Beanish maniac, Fawful has tried numerous times to usurp the Mushroom Kingdom's monarchy and gain ultimate power.

## Background

Not much is known about the mysterious past of the Beanish Fawful, other than he serves as one of Cackletta's foremost flunkies. Upon stealing Princess Peach's voice along with his mistress, he flees to the Beanbean Kingdom to unlock the Beanstar's power and gain supreme might. However, Fawful schemed to eventually overtake Cackletta and establish himself as the ultimate power, until he was catapulted out of Bowser's flying castle, seemingly left for dead. That is, until he shows up as a badge proprietor, biding his time until he finally puts his plan into action, hypnotizing Bowser's minions and forcing the king to ingest a vacuuming mushroom to suck the Mario Bros. and Peach inside of himself, allowing Fawful to steal Peach yet again to unlock the power of the Dark Star and obtain the ultimate darkness. Eventually, however, his machinations were put to an end when he was finally destroyed once and for all...or so it seems.

## Powers, Techniques, and Equipment

### Powers

* **Soul Manipulation:** Fawful's vacuum helmet allowed him to absorb Cackletta's Soul and place it into Bowser.
* **Technology Manipulation:** Fawful can mechanize almost anything.

### Techniques

* **Fawful Laser:** Fawful shoots a series of star projectiles, one of which being pink, which rotate around and attempt to hit the opponent for massive damage.
* **Fawful Portals:** Fawful creates four portals, two near the enemy and two next to him, and drops purple orbs into one of the portals to hit the enemy. Occasionally he also switches the portals, thus changing the final destination of the orb.
* **Orb Shield:** Fawful creates a circle of dark orbs he spins around before finally throwing them all at the enemy.
* **Headgear Swing/Swoop:** Fawful attaches to the ceiling and spins around to try and ram into the enemy, or he simply tries to fly into them.
* **Headgear Energy Blast:** Fawful's headgear releases energy orbs that home in on one of his targets.

* **Darkness Trap:** Fawful engulfs the enemies in darkness and chases them, attacking by tossing the Dark Star core at them until they reach the light.
* **Energy Wave:** Fawful holds the enemies in his hands and places them at varying heights to hit them with energy shockwaves.
* **Energy Orb Stream:** Fawful digs his arms into the ground near his enemies and sends dark orbs along them to eventually hit the foe.
* **Dark Star Laser:** A laser attack that deals insanely high damage.

### Equipment

* **Vacuum Helmet:** A device Fawful created that allows him to suck up enemies and their possessions, along with dark power. It can turn into a radar device, shoot energy orbs, spray dark mist that heals anything it contacts with, trap enemies in its nozzle, and allows Fawful to fly.
* **Fawful Blaster:** A gun Fawful carries with him, allowing him to shoot energy, phasing beams, or ice beams with power-boosting effects.
* **Fawful Pod:** A dome that protects Fawful from harm while blasting enemies with lasers, though it can be overheated, forcing Fawful to vacate it for a short time.
* **Fawfulcopter:** A small UFO device made to transmit Fawful's voice or carry important items.
* **Peach-bots:** Robots shaped like Peach that can project a voice transmitted into them.
* **Fawful Disc:** A flying saucer Fawful rides on to get around.
* **Super Bowser's Castle:** A mechanized version of Bowser's Castle capable of fighting toe-to-toe with the Koopa King himself.
* **Fawful Express:** A train developed by Fawful capable of launching missiles, mechanizing hills into fighting colossi, shooting Fawful Clouds to either rain or strike with lightning, releasing Choombas to ram into enemies, or releasing Monty Moles with bombs.
* **Super Peach's Castle of Fury:** A modified version of Princess Peach's castle, capable of firing black holes powerful enough to suck in Giant Bowser, along with an invisibility matrix, retractable spikes in its hands, the ability to summon Mechawfuls, and the power to project a barrier for defense. If it is burned, it releases its ballast, typically in the form of healing items.
* **Choomba:** A mechanized Goomba that charges forward, telegraphing its blows with the smoke it emits.
* **Chain Chawful:** A Fawfulized Chain Chomp with a Fawfulized Sworm inside that telegraphs the movements of the Chain Chomp.
* **Crawful:** A Yoshi-like creature with a giant set of chompers it uses to bite down on beans to recover health and boost stats, along with rushing forward to attack. Stealing its teeth will make it much weaker.
* **Dark Fawful Bomb:** A dark, Fawfulized Bob-omb that deals heavy damage. However, if the enemies holding it up are defeated, the bomb will explode elsewhere.
* **Dark Fawful Guy:** Dark, Fawfulized Shy Guys with propellors who attack by rushing into enemies.
* **Mawful Mole:** Fawfulized Monty Moles who attack by throwing rocks at enemies, and digging underground to surprise them. A variation known as the Metal Mawful Mole comes equipped with a metal shell for higher defense.
* **Fawflant:** A robotic ant that attacks by attempting to hit enemies with its drill-like behind, which can potentially lower their stats or poison them.
* **Fawflopper:** A Fawful grasshopper robot that attacks by jumping on enemies from up high.
* **Magifoofa:** A Fawfulized Magikoopa who attacks with magical spells.
* **Sea Pipe Statue:** A Fawfulized statue with a Blooper effigy that attacks by shooting the Blooper statue at enemies. The Blooper attacks by falling on enemies, or flying into them.
* **Mechawful:** Mechanical Fawful golems who attack by punching enemies or flying into them from above or the sides. Destroying their body reveals their head, which can summon another Mechawful body if not taken care of. A dark version known as the Dark Mechawful appears, with an extra ability to generate a laser from its antenna with a very wide radius. Allowing the head to summon a Mechawful body creates the Dark Mechawful .5, a much more defensive and stronger variation of the Dark Mechawful.
* **Midbus:** Fawful's second-in-command, a giant pig beast who attacks with ball and chains, punches, and body slams. When turned into Blizzard Midbus, he attacks by throwing snowballs, generating a giant ball with a Bob-omb inside to roll into enemies, and summoning Snawfuls to boost his power and heal him. Defeating enough Snawfuls will plug up Blizzard Midbus' crown and prevent him from summoning more.

## Powerscaling

Since Fawful is capable of fighting Mario, Luigi, and Bowser, and force them to use a lot of effort to defeat him, he should likely scale to all the major feats in the verse.

## Weaknesses

* Can become rather delusional when angered.
* Several of his machines could be considered outside help, along with his transformations into Dark Fawful and Dark Star Core.
* Not very strong physically.
* Moreso relies on his tech and inventions to win fights rather than head-on confrontations.
* Wasn't in Dream Team
