Later on, after following the incomplete [[Dark Bowser]] into [[Peach's Castle Garden]], Bowser meets up with Dark Fawful. He sends out the Fawfulized [[Super Peach's Castle of Fury]] after Bowser, whom the latter defeats after [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] [[Rump Command|help him to become]] [[Super Bowser|giant]] to battle the castle, returning it to normal. The next time Bowser encounters Dark Fawful is when he is searching for the Dark Star so he can absorb the rest of its power. He corners him in the [[Conference Hall]]; the place where he first fought Mario back in the beginning of the game. Having enough of Bowser's meddling, Dark Fawful fights Bowser, but is defeated. | Later on, after following the incomplete [[Dark Bowser]] into [[Peach's Castle Garden]], Bowser meets up with Dark Fawful.

After the battle, Dark Fawful sustains too much damage and turns into a small insectoid-like blob creature. He flees the hall, though he is inhaled by Dark Bowser shortly afterwards, completing him. It is assumed that he merged with the Dark Star within Dark Bowser's body to turn into the [[Dark Star Core]]. During the final battle between the two Bowsers, the Dark Star Core helps Dark Bowser out by fully recovering and turning him giant once Bowser reduces his health to zero, though it is spat out of his body once Bowser punches his stomach. Bowser inhales the Dark Star Core, forcing Mario and Luigi to battle it, destroying its legs in order to attack its weak point; the Dark Star itself. | After the battle, Dark Fawful sustains too much damage and turns into a small insectoid-like blob creature.

Meanwhile, Fawful is shown to have survive, albeit very weakened. As a last ditch effort to destroy Mario and Luigi, Fawful feigns accepting defeat and explodes inside [[Bowser's body]] with a wide grin on his face. However, the explosion reverses the effects of the [[Vacuum Shroom]] and actually frees both brothers, [[Starlow]], [[Toadsworth]], [[Toadbert]] and many other [[Toad (species)|Toads]] from his body. | ||

Another attack involves Dark Fawful flying to the top of the screen and creating four portals - one on his left and right, one above Bowser, and another one next to Bowser. Dark Fawful will then proceed to toss energy balls through the portals: if he shoots a ball through the portal on his left, Bowser will have to duck, and if he shoots it through the portal on his right, Bowser has to punch the ball. Later in the battle, Fawful may switch the portals next to him around. | Another attack involves Dark Fawful flying to the top of the screen and creating four portals - one on his left and right, one above Bowser, and another one next to Bowser.

Bowser has to time his punches and punch Goombas through the gaps in the orbs to stop the attack. Hitting one of the dark orbs causes the Goomba to fling back at Bowser, and failure to repel the attack will cause all of the orbs to attack Bowser. Later on, Fawful will spawn an extra orb that moves vertically. The star, energy ball and orb attacks may cause Bowser the [[DEF-Down]] status effect. | ||
Bowser can use his special attacks on the Vaccum Helmet as well. If Bowser's power is high enough, Dark Fawful can be defeated without his headgear being inhaled.

*During the battle, one of Dark Fawful's attacks is shooting multiple stars that move circularly around the room until counterattacked. This move is similar to the move [[Princess Shroob]] uses after passing her half-way mark in her Max HP, but Princess Shroob creates just one star-like attack, while Dark Fawful creates multiple from his ray gun. | *During the battle, one of Dark Fawful's attacks is shooting multiple stars that move circularly around the room until counterattacked.
