ALL ABOUT FAWFUL

My collection of random Fawful Facts:

    GENERAL

  • Fawful was not initially intended to appear in any games after Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. He was drawn up quickly as a side character and was only included in future games due to the localization team and western fanbase receiving him well.
  • He has a unique way of speaking in each language, and sometimes entirely different lines and somewhat different demeanors (more info here).
  • One of the things that vary between languages is what flavors of brainwashing spray he enjoys. In English, it is peppermint mocha. Spanish has pine, German has lemon balm, and both French and Italian has mint.
  • Fawful likes to sing, as he has two (brief) songs in Bowser's Inside Story, as well as in Minion Quest. His interest in music emphasized further by some of his minions: Magifoofas wave their magic wands exactly like a conductor waves a baton.
  • Fawful is an excellent cook! This is learnt when Bowser admits to it in Bowser's Inside Story during the Nutsoglobin quiz. His affinity for cooking is also seen in Deep Castle, where he has massive rooms dedicated to kitchen supplies, including table-sized stove burners.
  • Fawful may have a preference for vegetables, though still cooks meat. This is implied by the Bowser's Inside Story Personality Quiz , where choosing "Leafy greens and other veggies" counts towards the player's personality being Fawful's.
  • Another factoid from the Personality Quiz: Fawful finds Bowser's Castle to be the weirdest place he has ever been, as well as finding it creepy.

    • MARIO & LUIGI: BOWSER'S INSIDE STORY

  • According to an interview for the Bowser's Inside Story remake, Fawful had used the BFF Company and Midbus as his underlings before the events of the game, apparently for combat.
  • In Bowser's Inside Story Fawful uses a combination of bribery (The Elite Trio and BFF Company), brainwashing (Fawful Theater audience), engineering (Mechawfuls) and biological alteration (Crawfuls, Fawflants, etc.) to make his army. Multiple of his minions betrayed Bowser due to Fawful's better treatment & payment, such as the Monty Bros. and Fawful Guys.
  • Fawful in his Dark Star Core form is one of the few Mario & Luigi enemies to ever actively dodge direct attacks. If his glasses are not broken before the Bros. attack his legs, he will evade their attacks.
  • Fawful is only known to have mentioned Cackletta one time after the events of Superstar Saga. This is in the French European version of Bowser's Inside Story, in which he states "I played the minion... for a hysteric." during his departing speech.
