[[File:MLSS-Bowletta Final.png|frame|right|[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] encountering Bowletta at the end of [[Bowser's Castle]]]]

Bowletta retains Cackletta's facial appearance, including her purple eyes, large head and mouth, and the two pink horns replacing Bowser's own horns, although she has Bowser's red hair between them. Her body resembles Bowser's except that she has a smaller tail and light-colored breasts. Bowletta is also less round, but has a more hunched appearance, along with a taller shell. While their scales are the same color, Bowletta's green coloration is lighter than Bowser's. Bowletta wears both sets of Bowser's arm bracelets but lacks his collar in the original. In her artwork, her horns are purple, and it is shown that she completely lacks Bowser's claws.  

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]], her appearance is revamped with the collar now appearing around her neck unlike previously. Her horns are also now correctly colored, and her shell is no longer as tall in comparison to that of normal Bowser's. Her green scale coloration is additionally no longer subtly brighter than Bowser's own. Her tail is also the same length as Bowser's tail, and she now has Bowser's claws. Her breasts no longer replace Bowser's plastron, as the plastron is still visible as a duller color than the breasts. Her dark appearance is altered by removing her pupils and all pink and red areas outside her eyes, and adding more yellow glowing areas.

[[File:MLSS-Bowletta Most Powerful Attack.png|frame|Bowletta's most powerful attack]]

Bowletta's first attack uses Flarets aimed at the Bros. and fired randomly and rapidly. Three, however, will be used for Bowletta to use at a later turn to heal herself. In order to prevent this, the Bros. must [[hammer]] them (or [[jump]] on them with the proper badges equipped) in order to get rid of them when it is their turn. However, using [[Firebrand|fire]] or [[Thunderhand|thunder]] will heal the Flarets. She can also summon [[block]]s above the Bros.' heads. They must break the blocks with a required amount of five jumps (six when her health gets low) in three seconds in order to even be able to evade the fire stream she makes. When Bowletta transforms into a darker form, she summons shooting stars to hit the brothers. Green stars will hit Luigi, red stars will hit Mario, and both stars will harm Bowletta if countered with a hammer; the purple stars (yellow in the remake) which also fall do not damage anyone. If Mario and Luigi do not counter the stars with their hammers, there is a chance that they may get [[dizzy]]. In the remake, Bowletta also winks one of her eyes to indicate which star will target one of the bros. This form of Bowletta is also hazardously-surfaced, and will damage the Bros. if they try to use jumping attacks without the proper badges needed to damage Bowletta.

*Bowletta’s Star Strike move is similar to the [[Star Storm]] special move and the [[Shooting Star (item)|Shooting Star]] item in ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

*Mario and Luigi are terrified of her at the start of her battle in the original ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', but in the remake they assume their default "battle ready" stances as she breathes fire on them.

*If the Bros. can defeat Bowletta with her falling star attack, then die by getting hit by the remaining stars, the game will trigger both the Game Over sequence and Bowletta's "death" sequence at the same time. Restarting the game is required to get out of the glitch.
