After Mario and Luigi reassemble the Beanstar, Bowletta sends another message, telling them to meet her at [[Joke's End]] to give it to her. When the Mario Bros. arrive at Joke's End, they try to give Bowletta a fake Beanstar instead, but Fawful destroys it and takes the real Beanstar using his helmet. However, they soon after see Mario with another Princess Peach, who claims the one Bowletta has captured is an imposter. Believing this, they toss the Peach they have overboard and capture the one with Mario. As they are celebrating success back on the [[Koopa Cruiser]], however, they find out that the Peach they have captured is actually Luigi in disguise, who manages to escape with the Beanstar. | After Mario and Luigi reassemble the Beanstar, Bowletta sends another message, telling them to meet her at [[Joke's End]] to give it to her.

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 via [[Blablanadon]] 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. Bowletta, having faked her defeat, then proceeds to inhale and swallow 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 Cackletta's spirit vanishes into the afterlife. | 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.

Her body resembles Bowser's except that she has a smaller tail and light-colored breasts. Bowletta is also less round, but has a more hunched appearance, along with a taller shell. While their scales are the same color, Bowletta's green coloration is lighter than Bowser's. Bowletta wears both sets of Bowser's arm bracelets but lacks his collar in the original. In her artwork, her horns are purple, and it is shown that she completely lacks Bowser's claws. | ||
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]], her appearance is revamped with the collar now appearing around her neck unlike previously. Her horns are also now correctly colored, and her shell is no longer as tall in comparison to that of normal Bowser's. Her green scale coloration is additionally no longer subtly brighter than Bowser's own. Her tail is also the same length as Bowser's tail, and she now has Bowser's claws. Her breasts no longer replace Bowser's plastron, as the plastron is still visible as a duller color than the breasts.

[[File: | [[File:MLSS-Bowletta Most Powerful Attack.png|frame|Bowletta's most powerful attack]] | ||
Bowletta's first attack uses Flarets aimed at the Bros. and fired randomly and rapidly. Three, however, will be used for Bowletta to use at a later turn to heal herself. In order to prevent this, the Bros. must [[hammer]] them (or [[jump]] on them with the proper badges equipped) in order to get rid of them when it is their turn. However, using [[Firebrand|fire]] or [[Thunderhand|thunder]] will heal the Flarets. She can also summon [[block]]s above the Bros.' heads. They must break the blocks with a required amount of five jumps (six when her health gets low) in three seconds in order to even be able to evade the fire stream she makes. | Bowletta's first attack uses Flarets aimed at the Bros. and fired randomly and rapidly.

When Bowletta transforms into a darker form, she summons shooting stars to hit the brothers. Green stars will hit Luigi, red stars will hit Mario, and both stars will harm Bowletta if countered with a hammer; the purple stars (yellow in the remake) 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]]. In the remake, Bowletta also winks one of her eyes to indicate which star will target one of the bros. This form of Bowletta is also hazardously-surfaced, and will damage the Bros. if they try to use jumping attacks without the proper badges needed to damage Bowletta. | ||
