Francis has an array of attacks against the player: as a chameleon, he can change his coloration to disappear into his surroundings, thereby avoiding attacks. Francis is completely invisible when in 2D, but if Mario [[flip]]s into 3D, Francis's moving shadow is visible, making it easier to counterattack. Additionally, slamming the ground with [[Thudley]] will force Francis to appear for a brief moment. Francis' most devastating weapon is his long tongue, with which he can swallow any of the heroes whole and slowly damage them by chewing, though the player can escape by shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]. Francis has a different expression depending on who he eats; if he eats [[Mario]] or [[Bowser]], he stutters for a moment, while if he eats Peach, then he will smile and blush. His expression does not change when he eats Mario and [[Luigi]]. Francis can also employ his technology in battle; his laptop can summon an army of [[Meowbomb]]s, and his camera temporarily blinds Mario and his friends when the flash goes off, though he stops to smile before using it against Peach. Upon defeat he runs away, yelling "Mercy!", and Tippi is released. After his defeat, Francis cannot be found in Fort Francis. One of the [[Meowmaid]]s says Francis is in the hospital after having hurt himself while playing video games. | Francis has an array of attacks against the player: as a chameleon, he can change his coloration to disappear into his surroundings, thereby avoiding attacks.

The next time Francis appears is in the [[Castle Bleck]] chapter, [[Castle Bleck Foyer]], though as an optional boss.

This is the only time he can engage in battle against Luigi and for Tippi to use the [[Tattle]] ability on him, since Luigi and Tippi were not available in chapter 3. Partway through the chapter, a disguised [[Mimi]] asks the player what they hate most. One of the answers for the final question is "Francis", which will cause Francis to appear in the third room and another battle with him will begin. Francis had apparently been watching one of his favorite television programs before being warped into the castle, and, despite his confusion, he yearned to have Tippi back so much that he talked himself into thinking that his [[List of implied items#Reclinatron 4500|Reclinatron 4500]] chair had manipulated his very dreams and warped him to Tippi. After his defeat, Francis runs again, claiming he would simulate the battle on his computer to see what had kept him from winning. | ||
After the player beats the game, Francis can be found in his fort again, in the same room his boss battle took place. Francis will present his greatest creation: [[Tiptron]]. However, because he is saving to buy ''[[Starship X-Naut|Starship X-Naut Issue One]]'', Francis asks for 999 [[coin]]s from the player to acquire it. After the player buys Tiptron, he reveals plans to build [[List of implied characters#Tiptron Mk. II|Tiptron Mk. II]], a supposed improvement on the original, though the player never sees its completion. Francis then orders a Meowmaid to fetch [[List of implied items#Nibble-Ums|Nibble-Ums]] to fulfill his hunger before he begins his work. He also drops Tippi's "Francine" name at this point. | After the player beats the game, Francis can be found in his fort again, in the same room his boss battle took place.
