I love how Fawful never lost his manner of speaking, even when he became the main villain. He managed to come across as threatening while also being hilarious. I guess having that cape really helped.
Another thing is just that damn maniacal grin as he crosses his arms and takes flight with the helmet. It's like he's saying "whatcha you gonna do about it?" or something.
Fawful’s villainous outfit looks to be inspired by Cacklettas old coat. He doesn’t really start until finding a good sidekick too. I like to think this is his way of taking up the role of evil successor from his old master.
Fawful is a true Mario and Luigi antagonist. He was in all three games and latched onto out memories with his clever yet horrible English. He survived the defeat of Cackletta and layed low for the whole second game only to seek revenge in the third. He is truly a worthy adversary.
Honestly Fawful really was a great villain for these games, I know that's not an unpopular opinion but there's just a lot of meat to the deranged bean. The character arc of minion to master, his actual victory for most of the game, his funny way of speaking, his massive ego, the food/eating motif that underlies a lot of his personality and actions (to the point he's even got Bowser complimenting his cooking) and just a lot of smaller details like him being stressed out or him going more crazy over the games. Also his final form looks really cool and is easily the most creative one in the series.
It's interesting comparing the two different versions of this fight. As much as I like the atmosphere the remake version gives, I prefer this version for how much faster and more frantic it is.
It probably would have been anticlimactic, but would anyone else have preferred Fawful absorbing the entire Dark Star? It could've been Bowser vs. an incomplete Dark Bowser that gets absorbed after losing. Then you take down a fully powered Dark Fawful. After all, he was the antagonist for the whole game.
oh man. This was so sick. An actual fight this was,reckoning between these two. Even if they’re both evil,it’s still a battle of wills. Man this is so cool…
My grandparents got me this game when it came out. My grandfather passed in September of 2016 and my grandma is in a memory care facility. This game brings back so many memories. For example: fighting the Midbus (Fawful Show) battle on their couch, while my grandma was watching Ellen or defeating the Dark Star on the way home from their house. It’s so nostalgic. Can’t believe this was 5th grade.
For future reference, you can attack the vacuum helmet with one of Bowser's special attacks, even if it's on Fawful's head. I saw a guy do Shy Guy Squad on it successfully.
Goomba Storm, Shy Guy Squad, Magikoopa Mob, and Broggy Bonker will target the helmet. Punch, Flame, Koopa Corps, and Bob-omb Blitz won’t work on the helmet.
The Dark Fawful boss theme is a good track on it's own, but it's incredibly butchered by the fact that they made it a BOSS THEME. That track does not fit at all, it sounds like it should play in a cutscene where Fawful tells you about his master plan or it would play if there was a Fawful fight earlier in the game, not in the penultimate fight before one of the best Mario bosses ever
@@Michael-hc2hp yeah but it makes its more intense and shows how far he has come surpassing cacakletta as its the fawful and cacakletta theme but more ominious and slowed down.
order of games is as follows. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Fawful and Cackletta defeated by the Bros. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Shroobs invaded in the past, when the Bros were still babies. Shroobs defeated. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Fawful invades as revenge for his previous defeat. Fawful & Dark Star destroyed completely
The detail is that this place is the place fawful first shows up when bowser is defeated at the beginning of the game and at the end of the game bowser defeats fawful.
@wizzcunha It's 2 games after Superstar Saga. The reason Fawful didn't die is because Luigi hammered him and sent him flying. Cackletta had her body AND soul destroyed by the Mario Bros, hence why Fawful is still alive here.
1:10 Fawful says his signature phrase "fink-rat" for the last time. And yes in this game it was changed to I have chortles, but it was originally fink-rat in Superstar saga!
6:55 With all the grief he put him through up to that point, it must've been beyond cathartic for Bowser to finish Fawful off by clocking him right in his smug, toothy face.
When Bowser takes too much damage, he takes on the "Fury" status. Where he turns orange and starts smoking with rage. In this form, his attack power is increased, but his defense is decreased. That never happened to you in this game?
I love "Destroy the Dark Power!" for Dark Star in the remake and, despite "A Fateful Clash!" being a good theme and I like Dark Fawful got his unique theme as well, I think it's not as fitting for a battle as "Tough Guy Alert!".
@Shinixanta I guess it doesn't occur to you that I'm doing that on purpose. I was simply stalling for time, waiting for the helmet to leave Fawful so I could inhale it.
If you get the red key from the Fawfulcopter in Peach's Castle, you find the Magikoopas locked in a cage. Broggy Bonker is obtained when you find all 15 blitties that are hidden inside enemies and deliver them to Broque Monseur. The blitties are obtained by inhaling them. Check the Super Mario Wiki to find a list of where the Blitties are
I was kinda disappointed to see that the helmet only gave 220 EXP. For the kind of work you have to put in to kill it, 1500 would have been more reasonable.
@wizzcunha also, Fawful appears in Partners in Time trading gear for beans, the difference is that only the baby versions could see him, like that Fawful did not recognize them
@sora412zx 1 - there was no button mashing here. How you see Mario & Luigi throwing the stars, that's literally as fast as they can go. 2 - There's people who can button mash way faster than me and I've seen
@shockwavedsi That was how I fought him in my practice run, then I realized how much SP that takes up. Which is why I wait for his helmet to detatch before I fight for real
@thebuse23 When he heals, I take off that much to whatever I've done. It still adds up, and it doesn't go over his HP. So if I do 100 damage and he heals for 300, it doesn't give him 200 extra hp, it only maxes out his hp.
@superdrybowser1000 Fawful absorbed half the power of the Dark Star, became Dark Fawful. This is AFTER Giant bowser fights Peach's castle. Dark Bowser, which is the Dark Star after copying Bowser's power, is currently searching the castle, looking for Fawful
@Shinixanta You have got to read other comments before saying that. deadlykidCs is saying that he's using the fire attack so he could use up all the time for the helmet to leave.
There's a block with 7 Attack Pieces at Peach's Castle. Once you hit it, the three blue Paratroopas will appear and you give them 300 coins in exchange for the locations of the other three pieces, but there's a catch: they're invisible.
I learned that you have to destroy fawful's headgear first that way his headgear won't continue to heal his HP then you have to use Bowser's vacuum block ability to have his head gear go into Bowser's body then I recommend using Mario and Luigi first once the headgear is gone then Bowser can start taking down fawful
I’d say that most of the fights in the game are pretty easy and can be beaten on your first try I even beat the first dark star fight on my first try even though it took me like twenty minutes
Am I the only one who hears the "Kingdom Hearts"-ness of this games music? Seriously Fawful's theme could have been used as a Winnie the Pooh battle theme and I wouldn't have noticed.
My strategy for this guy is just to Broggy Bonker the living crap out of him, then when the helmet comes off, suck it in and let loose the fury of the gods. It helps that I use SP saving equipment a lot.
On my current file, I can get like halfway into destroying him, then all of a sudden he pulls off one of his bigger counter-attacks then it ends up killing me, any suggestions ?
@@Darisfaw It’s been a while now since I played and can’t recall all his attacks, but one where he shoots off a line of stars and the bigger one can be attacked (I think) - that one was tough I remember.

6:57 "Feels so good, finally punching out that weirdo."
- Bowser
imagine how satisfying it is to punch someone in the face then see them go down like that
It really was a pleasure pulverizing Fawful.
Well again Fawful was the reason Bowser got Possessed in superstar saga
100th
I like how bowser is standing in the same spot as he was in the tutorial battle with mario, just facing left instead of right.
Ikr 💯
It's funny that this game is over 12 years and this is still better than most games that came out in the 2010s
Damn you didn't have to make me feel old.
I guess statistically it’s true
This game is older than a lot of people on TH-cam.
Ok boomer
Well at least the 2010's were better than the 2020's
This is one of my favorite bosses in the game purely because, after all this time, Bowser finally fights Fawful. One on one.
Its peak

same man, same
You should play it! It's phenomenal, even if you've seen the ending
I like Fawful's guts.
He just straight tells Bowser that he hates him.
XD
I like how Fawful has his own theme in the remake.
They made his dark orb attack where they circle around him very irritating to block. They move fast as heck now. I had a bit of trouble with it.
Originally Cackletta’s though
Cackletta’s theme slowed down
@@Miles_Flores I mean it's called "Fawful and Cackletta"
@@ivanm8682 makes sense since he was her star pupil theme basically shows how Fawful in a way is worse than Cackletta ever was

Am I the only one who just relies that Fawful was singing a parody of Scooby-Doo when he was searching for the Dark Power?
no
Am I the only one who has came back to 1:21 and 2:19 because of the Sans battle in Undertale? Considering how they do dodge attacks in-battle.
giving him his own battle theme on the remake aand changing the enviroment makes the fihgt 10x better
Except his battle theme in the remake sucks.

It's barely anything if you're a decent level and just spam Broggy Bronker, it does like 600-700 damage each time

Ah, the cheap way.
The thing thats usually blue changes colors to red And green.
when fawful is singing before you fight him i think its a parody of the scooby doo theme song
