In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', [[Fawful]] uses the headgear to suck up [[Princess Peach]]'s voice before the onset of the game. He uses the headgear's fireball ability to battle [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] when they come to reclaim [[Princess Peach]]'s voice; he then uses these fireballs to destroy [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopa Cruiser]], sending the Mario Bros., Bowser and Bowser's baddies into [[Stardust Fields]]. In battle, the headgear has 18 [[Heart Point|HP]].

Later, when [[Cackletta]] is defeated by the Mario Bros. in [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], Fawful sucks her soul up with the headgear and deposits it inside Bowser's unconscious body in Stardust Fields after being launched out of the university by [[Prince Peasley]], thus saving her from death and creating [[Bowletta]]; a transformation between her spirit and Bowser. During the final battle with [[Cackletta#Soul|Cackletta's spirit]] inside [[Bowletta]]'s body, Fawful and his headgear are seen in one of her attacks, but in ghost form. In the attack, the headgear will shoot a wave of fire balls at both bros. If Fawful is in front of Mario, the headgear will first shoot at Luigi first, then Mario, or vice versa if he is in front of Luigi.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', the Vacuum Helmet is used by Fawful to suck the power out of the [[Dark Star]] and become [[Dark Fawful]] late in the game. Afterwards, the helmet is used by Dark Fawful to search for the Dark Star, using it as a radar.

 

 

The Vacuum Helmet first inhales one of the bros.' [[Command Block]]s when battling them, [[Prohibited Command|preventing them from using it]] until it is destroyed or after a few turns. It will then use one of two attacks. Its first one has it fire respectively-colored energy balls at Mario and Luigi from its nozzle (red for Mario, green for Luigi), which needs to be countered with a [[hammer]]. In the 3DS remaster, the Vacuum Helmet's right wing twitches forward if it is gunning for Luigi, and the left wing if it is gunning for Mario.

In its second attack, the Vacuum Helmet encases a bro in a ball with its nozzle and moves it around to hit the other bro, which needs to be countered by [[jump]]ing on the ball to stop the attack, otherwise the attack will continue indefinitely until the encased bro loses all their HP, as it drains while inside the ball. The remake replaces this with a spinning circle attack; the Vacuum Helmet will encase one of the Bros. inside its nozzle ball, which must be dodged by jumping. If it gets too close to the bro who is dodging, the Vacuum Helmet will become faster, which makes it hard to counterattack. This move can inflict dizziness on the brother who was encased.

After enough damage is dealt to the Vacuum Helmet, it will explode, returning the stolen Command Blocks if they have not been retrieved, and switching back to the fight with Bowser and Dark Fawful.

In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the Vacuum Helmet is shown to have many functions, and is primarily used by Fawful to fly around or hover off the ground using its rockets. The Vacuum Helmet's nozzle can both shoot fiery balls of energy at Fawful's opponents and suck up other things, like Peach's voice, Cackletta's spirit and the Beanstar, which are then stored within the Vacuum Helmet until released or the helmet is destroyed. The Vacuum Helmet's nozzle can also display sharp teeth, which is shown before it shoots fireballs.

In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'', the Vacuum Helmet introduces more functions, including being able to function independently from Fawful along with being able to suck up the Dark Star's power and Mario and Luigi's Command Blocks in battle. During the battle with Fawful in the Conference Hall, the helmet can be used as an evasive tool for Fawful to dodge Bowser's attacks, and can have its nozzle string extended to latch onto a chandelier in the room, which is used to swing Fawful around. The helmet can also release purple fumes at Fawful to recover his health. While inside Bowser and fighting Mario and Luigi, the Vacuum Helmet can charge up energy balls from its tube and fire it out of its nozzle at the bros, or encase one of the bros in a ball using its nozzle, rolling them along the ground while draining their health.
