While returning to the Beanbean Kingdom, they are pursued by [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Bowser]], who had formed a temporary alliance to stop them. After taking care of Bowser, Fawful attacks the Mario Bros., but not before they destroy his [[Vacuum Helmet]]. After it breaks, Fawful summons another Vacuum Helmet to knock Bowser's [[Koopa Cruiser]] out of the sky before departing. He is later hinted by Beanbean guards to have kidnapped [[Prince Peasley]], after they wrongly accused Mario and Luigi of doing so. When the brothers arrive at [[Hoohoo Mountain]], he blocks their path with a large stone and flies off. He later appears in [[Beanbean Castle]], where he steals the Beanstar alongside Cackletta and feeds [[Queen Bean]] a [[Belly Blech]] worm to distract the Bros. | ||
The two then go to [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], where they plan to awaken the Beanstar using several [[Peach-bot]]s, which Fawful had designed. However, due to some planning on the princess's part, the voice used is that of [[Birdo]], which causes the Beanstar to become irritated and break through the floor. Shortly afterward, the Mario Bros. arrive, and before Fawful can do anything, Luigi knocks him into the ground. After hitting him, they defeat Cackletta. Fawful soon recovers and sucks Cackletta's energy into his Vacuum Helmet. Before he can attack the brothers again, he is sent flying through the roof by [[Prince Peasley]]. Landing in [[Stardust Fields]], Fawful finds an unconscious Bowser, who he gives to Cackletta to possess. Cackletta proceeds to call herself [[Bowletta]], and Fawful accompanies her to [[Little Fungitown]], where they abduct the princess. | The two then go to [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], where they plan to awaken the Beanstar using several [[Peach-bot]]s, which Fawful had designed.

Fawful appears again outside of Peach's Castle as [[Dark Fawful]], where he looks for the Dark Star. Bowser tries to confront him, but Dark Fawful, furious at Bowser for interrupting his draining of the dark power, powers up the castle to become [[Super Peach's Castle of Fury]]. The giant robot castle crushes Bowser, causing the Mario Bros. inside his body to have to revive him and fight the fourth and final giant battle. | Fawful appears again outside of Peach's Castle as [[Dark Fawful]], where he looks for the Dark Star.

After demolishing the castle, Bowser finds Dark Fawful in the castle's conference hall. Before the battle, Dark Fawful speaks like he did in ''Superstar Saga'', showing that he is losing his composure and acting rashly out of anger. He also says how Bowser has gotten in his way just like Mario and Luigi (referring to ''Superstar Saga''{{'}}s events) and that he now hates him just as much as them, causing Bowser to become annoyed and tell Fawful not to compare him to Mario. | After demolishing the castle, Bowser finds Dark Fawful in the castle's conference hall.

After Bowser manages to beat Dark Fawful, he collapses into a bug-like form known as the Dark Fawful Bug and tries to escape, but gets inhaled by [[Dark Bowser]], causing the completion of the Dark Power and fusing Fawful with the Dark Star Core. | ||
During the final battle, Bowser makes Dark Bowser spit out the Dark Fawful Bug, and then inhales it so that Mario and Luigi can beat both the Dark Fawful Bug and the Dark Star Core, the latter of which Fawful had fused with. Fawful uses the power of the Dark Star Core to grow into a giant monster and finally engages the brothers in a rematch to decide the fate of the kingdom. They succeed in destroying both, thus weakening Dark Bowser enough for Bowser to deliver the final blows and destroy him. | During the final battle, Bowser makes Dark Bowser spit out the Dark Fawful Bug, and then inhales it so that Mario and Luigi can beat both the Dark Fawful Bug and the Dark Star Core, the latter of which Fawful had fused with.

While initially content to be Cackletta's subordinate, he is shown to be quite self-centered when he becomes his own villain, theming many of his minions based on his own likeness, turning [[Bowser's Castle]] into a self-aggrandizing theater filled with merchandise of himself, showboating before Bowser's brainwashed minions, and refacing many of the decorations in the places he conquers. Even prior to Cackletta's final defeat, however, Fawful briefly considers the possibility of rising beyond a "toady" of Cackletta's, though he ultimately is beaten before he has the chance to consider it further. | Fawful is shown to be very angry at times, but is also seen to be very devoted to Cackletta, whom he served with blind devotion in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', and is considered to be Cackletta's "favorite subordinate"<ref name="subordinate">{{cite|title=''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' manual|page=7|date=2003|author=Nintendo|language=American English|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> in a manner resembling the archetypical "{{wp|Igor (character)|Igor}}" character.

In ''Bowser's Inside Story'', Fawful is shown to be manipulative, as he feigned defeat to Bowser and made a "victory feast" specifically to fatten him up and faked "acceptance" of defeat from Mario and Luigi at the end of the game to lower their guard for a surprise attack; additionally, in the remake's ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', it is heavily implied that he had arranged for Bowser not to be invited to the emergency conference about the Blorbs in order to force a confrontation between the two parties. | In ''Bowser's Inside Story'', Fawful is shown to be manipulative, as he feigned defeat to Bowser and made a "victory feast" specifically to fatten him up and faked "acceptance" of defeat from Mario and Luigi at the end of the game to lower their guard for a surprise attack; additionally, in the remake's ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', it is heavily implied that he had arranged for Bowser not to be invited to the emergency conference about the Blorbs in order to force a confrontation between the two parties. | ||

In his first attack, he shoots green energy balls at the Mario Bros. from his Headgear, and in order to avoid the attack, the player must look at the color of the text when he calls the heroes "Fink Rats". If the text is red, he shoots at Mario, but if the text is green, he shoots at Luigi. Later in the battle, Fawful says "Have you readiness for this?!?", in which he shoots two energy balls - one at each brother. The color of "this" indicates which brother Fawful targets first. After 18 points of damage, Fawful's helmet falls off, making him unable to shoot fire balls. In this state, Fawful has only one other attack; He can run up to one of the Bros. and try to roll into him. This can be countered by a well-timed jump. | ||
