Cackletta's History
Beanbean lore states that only one with a beautiful voice can activate the Beanstar's mysterious powers to grant any wishes; Cackletta hoped to use this power to conquer the Beanbean Kingdom and soon after, the Mushroom Kingdom.
Cackletta and her minion named Fawful appeared at the beginning of the game as they arrived at Princess Peach's castle disguised as the Goodwill Ambassador from the Beanbean Kingdom with a chest as a gift from Queen Bean.
As Princess Peach takes a look at the chest, it opens up to reveal gas that sprays all over Princess Peach's face, taking her voice away and replacing it with explosives. Cackletta soon appears from her disguise, shocking all the Toads. She then makes her getaway with Fawful.
Cackletta soon appeared before Bowser, Mario, and Luigi for the first time on their Koopa Cruiser, where she entrusted Fawful to take care of them before leaving. Fawful took out Bowser and caused his ship to crash.
At the Beanbean Kingdom, Cackletta was disguised as the Goodwill Ambassador again, this time to trick Mario and Luigi into fixing the Kingdom's plumbing, which was actually a ruse to deactivate the Beanstar's security system.
Mario and Luigi quickly discovered Cackletta's trickery as they found the real Goodwill Ambassador trapped in the sewers and rushed to the throne room where the Beanstar was. However, they were too late as Cackletta and Fawful made their escape with the Beanstar and left Queen Bean to deal with them, who became empowered from ingesting a Belly Blech worm that also made her crazily enraged.
Cackletta and Fawful later invaded Woohoo University for its research and technology to build robots to contain Princess Peach's voice called "Peach-Bots." As soon as Mario and Luigi arrived, Cackletta activated her Peach-Bots to speak to the Beanstar, only to make the Beanstar angry as it smashed through a floor grate, creating a giant hole beneath it, where it and the Peach-Bots fell into below, which she found to her dismay seconds later.
It is revealed that Toadsworth and others of the Mushroom Kingdom managed to avoid the plot by switching Peach with Birdo, whom they dressed up like Peach. As a result, the Beanstar was furious by Birdo's voice and did not help Cackletta at all. Cackletta was soon shocked as she lost the Beanstar and was left to deal with the Mario Bros after Luigi easily took out Fawful with his hammer. They fought until Cackletta was so badly injured, she could not move and was dying. In order to save her, Fawful absorbed Cackletta's body into his "headgear". Cackletta then commanded Fawful to commence one more attack, but he was stopped by Prince Peasley, who rapidly attacked them with his sword and knocked them out of Woohoo University.
King Bowser of the Koopa Kingdom was lying unconscious in Stardust Fields, Beanbean Kingdom side, when Fawful puts Cackeletta's ghost into Bowser's body and thus, the birth of "Bowletta". Now that Bowletta could control Beanbean minions and Koopa minions, she was more powerful than ever and plotted to steal the Beanstar again and get the real Peach's voice. She succeeded in kidnapping Princess Peach as she steals the Koopa Clown Car and finds the Mario Bros. in the Little Fungitown immigrant community with Peach.
Since Mario is sick from Bean Fever and Luigi is out trying to cure him, Bowletta is able to kidnap Peach easily, but her escape is witnessed by a shocked Luigi during his return with a Bean Fever cure. Bowletta then sent holographic messages to Beanbean Castle informing the Mario Bros. to fix the broken Beanstar and bring it to Joke's End where they will trade for the Princess' safe return. Prince Peasley had a plan to give her a fake Beanstar and meet them at the top of Joke's End. As the bros. finally made it up to the top of Joke's End, Luigi gave Fawful the fake Beanstar, but Fawful attacked Luigi, as he discovered the fake Beanstar and ransacked the Bros. briefcase to steal the real one.
Mario and Luigi then realized that Bowletta would not really return Princess Peach to them, so they came up with an idea. A few minutes later when Mario approaches Bowletta and Fawful along with Princess Peach, he starts laughing as another Princess Peach appears beside him, who tells Bowletta that the Princess Peach she kidnapped is an imposter, shocking her. Bowletta then drops the Peach she's holding and grabs the other. As she and Fawful escape on the Koopa Cruiser, they question Princess Peach why she's holding her mouth. As she doesn't respond, Bowletta scares her to reveal the big mustache of Luigi's, as it turns out to be him the whole time.
Luigi sheds his disguise and escaped with the Beanstar, but rather than going after him, Bowletta goes into Bowser's keep to launch an air assault and successfully destroys the Beanbean Castle Town. The Bros. go to Hoohoo Village and tell Blablanadon that Bowser's Keep is overhead and that he should now take them up. Fawful then informs Bowletta that the Mario Bros. are coming and Bowletta orders the original seven Koopalings and Fawful to guard her castle. The Bros. fought them all, and eventually fought Bowletta until she got an idea. She would pretend to be defeated and when the Mario Bros. let their guards down, she would summon a Time Bob-Omb to explode at them.
Bowletta tries to finish the Bros. off by swallowing them, but this gives them the chance to defeat Cackletta�??s ghostly remains inside her body. After a long and hard battle, Cackletta's Soul is destroyed and it cringes in pain as purple energy swirls around it and makes it implode before Bowletta Bowletta coughs up Mario and Luigi before laying on the floor in agony. In her final moments, she expresses her disbelief for really losing in spite of all her effort and power. Bowletta then expels Cackletta�??s Soul, which fades away into non-existence, and Bowser is restored, putting an end to the mad witch for good.
