Early in the game, Cackletta disguises herself as '''The Goodwill Ambassador''' to steal [[Princess Peach]]'s voice and use it to steal the [[Beanstar]] with also replacing the princess' voice with "explosive vocabulary", which is composed of various symbols that drop from her speech bubble to cause minor explosions. Beanbean lore states that only one with a beautiful voice can activate the Beanstar's mysterious powers to grant any wishes, so Cackletta hopes to use the power of the Beanstar to conquer the Beanbean Kingdom and soon after, the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. The Mario Bros. go to the Beanbean Kingdom to stop her, and they meet her for the first time on the [[Koopa Cruiser]] when she and [[Fawful]] attack the Bros. and the ship. She later attacks the [[Beanbean Castle Town]] and feeds [[Queen Bean]] a [[Belly Blech]] worm, which turns her aggressive towards the brothers. After imprisoning [[Lady Lima]], she then encounters the Mario Bros. again in [[Beanbean Castle]] disguised as Lima and tricks them into fixing the castle's plumbing, which turns off the Beanstar's security system and allows Cackletta to steal the Beanstar. Mario rushes up to the throne room to stop her, but Cackletta and Fawful get away and leave [[Queen Bean]] to take care of the Mario Bros. Later, Cackletta goes to [[Woohoo Hooniversity]] to carry out her plans with the Beanstar by also transforming several researchers into [[Laser Snifit]]s. After Queen Bean is restored to normal and the castle town is repaired, the Mario Bros. (as well as [[Prince Peasley]]) travel to Woohoo Hooniversity. | Early in the game, Cackletta disguises herself as '''The Goodwill Ambassador''' to steal [[Princess Peach]]'s voice and use it to steal the [[Beanstar]] with also replacing the princess' voice with "explosive vocabulary", which is composed of various symbols that drop from her speech bubble to cause minor explosions.

An injured Fawful lands in the Mushroom Kingdom side of [[Stardust Fields]] and sees an unconscious [[Bowser]] lying on the ground. He releases Cackletta's ghost from his headgear, which goes into Bowser's body and possesses him in the process. This causes Cackletta to become a fusion of herself and Bowser, called [[Bowletta]]. With the fact that Bowletta can control Beanbean and [[Koopa Troop|Koopa]] minions, she becomes more powerful and plans to steal the Beanstar again and get the real Princess Peach. She succeeds in [[Little Fungitown]] while Mario is sick with [[Bean Fever]] and Luigi is searching for the [[Crabbie Grass|antidote]] in [[Guffawha Ruins]], offering a request for the Bros. that they will find the Beanstar pieces and repair them with the exchange for the Peach. Prince Peasley has a plan to give Cackletta a fake Beanstar and meet her at the top of [[Joke's End]]. Then, Luigi tries to give Fawful the fake Beanstar, but the latter realizes that the Star is fake, knocking down the Bros'. [[suitcase]] and stealing the real Beanstar. | An injured Fawful lands in the Mushroom Kingdom side of [[Stardust Fields]] and sees an unconscious [[Bowser]] lying on the ground.

Mario and Luigi come to Bowletta, who refuses to release Peach. Later, another Princess Peach, who is holding her mouth, comes out along with Mario, who tricks Bowletta and Fawful into thinking that they are holding a "fake" Princess Peach. Bowletta drops the Peach she was holding and grabs the "real" one. In the Koopa Cruiser, Fawful and Bowletta ask the princess why she is holding her mouth, but she does not respond. In response, Bowletta scares her to reveal a big mustache, and she turns out to be Luigi, forcing him to make a getaway and eventually return the Beanstar to Prince Peasley. | Mario and Luigi come to Bowletta, who refuses to release Peach.

In the meantime, Bowletta plans to destroy the Beanbean Kingdom and then, after the Bros. are destroyed, the Mushroom Kingdom. She enters [[Bowser's Castle]] and attacks [[Beanbean Castle Town]] again. After this, the Bros. go to [[Hoohoo Village]] and tell [[Blablanadon]] that Bowser's Castle is overhead and he should take them. [[Fawful]] informs Bowletta that the brothers are coming, so Bowletta orders the seven [[Koopalings]] and Fawful to guard her castle. The Bros. fight them all and eventually fight Bowletta, but just as it looks like they have defeated her, it turns out Bowletta pretended to be defeated and as this is happening, a [[Time Bob-omb]] comes into view, exploding and knocking the Bros. out cold. She then proceeds to swallow them. Inside Bowletta's stomach, Mario and Luigi with 1 HP find Cackletta's spirit inside the body and fight her. After Cackletta is defeated, her spirit leaves Bowser's body, disappearing afterwards and Bowser returns to his original form. | In the meantime, Bowletta plans to destroy the Beanbean Kingdom and then, after the Bros. are destroyed, the Mushroom Kingdom.

*At around 25% HP lost, her head can summon a mirage of Fawful that will shoot streams of energy balls from one brother to the other that must be jumped over before flying up to one of the brothers and laughing at them, flying away to repeat the attack if he isn't hammered. The tell for which brother the stream of energy balls will start with is the same as Fawful's tell on the Koopa Cruiser: laughing for Mario and spinning for Luigi.
