I loved how you had a premature confrontation with the main antagonist which pretty much resulted in her death, only to have her life essence preserved by her minion. Just so awesome.
It even *feels* like you're fighting the final boss early gameplay-wise. Cackletta's a massive jump in difficulty from the rest of the game up to that point, and the huge amount of EXP she gives upon defeat is only matched by endgame bosses.
It was also supposed to be Fawful’s battle theme, but they messed it up and had it play Popple’s theme. Of course, they fixed it for the Japanese version. Typical… 😒
@@johnmendez9525 Some people do call it that; but the theme is played numerous times during the game when Fawful isn't present. I think "panic" is the official label
I shed tears and bow my head to one of the best boss battles ever. The setup is perfect, the music is perfect, the villain is perfect! The funny part, the scary part, the hard part, the frustrating part, everything in this battle is just epic!
Nope, the soundtrack is a combination of cackletta and fawful theme so originally it was going to be a theme of both but in the american version there was an error and they ended up putting the theme of popple in the fawful fight
There’s something so cool about how you get to beat the main antagonist of this game less than halfway through. Only to have her minion Fawful resurrect her
I can't believe I didn't notice it from before, but, the shadows that Cackletta makes when she splits up have a difference. Two are big, and one is small. It's just now that I notice that, instead out of the several times that I played this game...
M1YAK2 NOW you tell me, good lord that's subtle. I feel like a real sucker examining every pixel of the sprites for some kind of difference so I didn't have to wait and see which Cackletta uses both arms for lightning.
LuigiaTV. Oh so that's how you could tell! I always thought that the real one shot two lightning bolts simultaneously whilst the two clones shot only one..
DraculaCronqvist to me he's like joker but a Nintendo version and creepy but the most popular boss people like in the mario and Luigi series is dark bowser
bryan benitez Cackletta is a woman, and also,while popular, Dark Bowser has nothing on the insanely overpraised Fawful and Dimentio. Cackletta will always be favorite Mario villain and the best to me though.
I know she’s been gone for over 13 years at this point but I’ve always said to myself that if we ever got an animated adaptation of the Mario & Luigi series, I would have loved to see Eartha Kitt portray Cackletta. Implement some of her experience with Yzma from the Emperor’s New Groove or Queen Vexus from My Life as a Teenage Robot into the role, if you will.
When cackletta clone herself, u can tell which one is the real one by looking at the three shadows, look carefully and hit the shadow thats different from the others two, one may be smaller or bigger than the others two.(I could be wrong)
+TailsPrower In a way Antasma has alot of resemblance to Cackletta, his body shape is very familiar, as pointed out the two of them can become a swarm of bats, bats whom can set a status effect on the Bros. (Cackletta poison and Antasma Sleep) Alongside this, both of them can clone themselves, Cackletta uses it to buy time whilst Antasma clone himself to attack, but still very similar. I do wonder if it is intentional or not.
Really great that you actually beat Cackletta halfway through the game, and along with the disaster with Birdo's voice that makes Cackletta and Fawful panic, there's an impression given that sometimes things go right for the good guys. And yet there's still that sense of fighting overwhelming odds when Fawful unites Cackletta with Mario's classical antagonist of Bowser and for the final boss you have to fight the soul of the boss you killed half a game earlier
What I like about this is it's so unexpected, like at first I thought I would be fighting Fawful again but at a more difficult stage, and Cackletta escapes as Fawful holds us off, but turns out you're fighting her, the main antagonist, right here instead of thinking you'd only fight her when you got to the final boss. Fighting the main antagonist in the middle of the game instead of in the final part of the game? Brilliant.
This battle was absolute hell for me as a kid. I could not beat her for my life, I tried maybe 50 times to beat it, never did. Mostly because I would intentionally kill off Mario first because... well honestly I don't know. I just remember intentionally killing him. And I never used special attacks. Yeah, I was not a bright child...
I remember when I first played this game, I was expecting the reason Peach's voice upset the beanstar to be some sort of "Peach's voice is made with love, not robots" explanation or something like that.
Currently playing this on my Nintendo switch this was my game in High school it was a pain in the neck and the bosses were insanely difficult at some points really good rpg for a Mario game as they come
The start of this fight is crazy because she always get the offensive and the attack looks like you should dodging lighting, you start mashing, fall in a hole you ignored because lightning, then you get the heavy debuff making other attacks hard to dodge too, and in her Soul Fight she also goes first unless you've specced in speed, and you start that fight at 1 HP, has to be one of my fav boss in video games
Mario: Ok..... Cackletta is in that room.......... Luigi: OOOOOOKKKKKKK!!!!!!! Mario: STFU LUIGI!!!!!!!!!!! Luigi: NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mario: Ok fine you can be loud, just open the Door! Luigi: OOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Opens the door and then boss music appears* Luigi: Mario did you pee your pants? Mario: NOOO! Luigi: Well I pissed my pants. Mario: STFU LUI- wait what?
You can tell which one it is if you look closley while she duplicates her shadow, one will be different. [ya pick things up after playing through the game 9 times in full :D]
It's easy, just use your items of Mushrooms to refill the HP, or Syrup to refill the Bro Attack points, The real Cackletta: Watch closely until you see her lifts up all two arms, for a double-lighting strike like the letter, "T" knowing that's her.
Why is the fact that from super star saga to partners in time to inside story to dream team kinda scary? when i was little, i cried because it was scary! (especially cackletta and fawful)
Tolstar's laugh is probably used here to be a chuckle instead of her usual cackle, perhaps to give her a bit of cockiness or to keep her normal laugh from becoming repetitive.
Still have my copy of this game with the box and little plastic bag it came in plus the same GBA. Took me 5 years to beat this game back when I got it in the Christmas of 2002.
I NEVER KNEW THAT ATTACK HINT! UNTIL NOW???? I ALWAYS JUST ATTACK A RANDOM CLONE UNTIL I GOT IT RIGHT WHEN I WAS YOUNG! THAT JUST MAKE'S CACKLETTA SO MUCH EASIER FOR ME NOW! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!1111111 XD
It says that to wake the beanstar, it must hear the sound of a beautiful voice so Cackletta and Fawful went to Mushroom Kingdom and stole Peach's voice but they accidently stole Birdo's voice which they used on the beanstar but itmade the beanstar angry when the birdo-voiced robots spoke to it.
I loved how you had a premature confrontation with the main antagonist which pretty much resulted in her death, only to have her life essence preserved by her minion. Just so awesome.
Skeith804 And then have her minion hide away as a shop keeper in the second game then return as the main villain in the third. I love this series.
It even *feels* like you're fighting the final boss early gameplay-wise. Cackletta's a massive jump in difficulty from the rest of the game up to that point, and the huge amount of EXP she gives upon defeat is only matched by endgame bosses.
@@mysteriousmaximus4863 literally kefka, yes
The fact that the game gives you time to have the upper hand over your opponent just to throw you off near the end is just fantastic to me.
It was also supposed to be Fawful’s battle theme, but they messed it up and had it play Popple’s theme. Of course, they fixed it for the Japanese version. Typical… 😒
I love how luigi smashes fawful into the ground and just says "oh yeah". Like, dude, you could have killed him
Should*
@@waddledoo2you13 Eh, both of them would work here.
I guess Mario isn’t the only psychopath
@@dantdmfangamingrich9802 "oh yeah"
Luigi was the goat 😂😂
I love that her theme is a remix of "panic" (the song that plays before the fight.) For some reason it just feels right.
Isn’t it called “fawful music”
I sure as hell would be panicking in this situation
@@entruh4520 Just like Cackletta herself; I say, the girl's a coward!
@@johnmendez9525 Some people do call it that; but the theme is played numerous times during the game when Fawful isn't present. I think "panic" is the official label
Cackletta is my favorite villain in the mario and luigi series lol I love her music is a remix of fawful music
I like how Cackletta starts the fight with her strongest attack and then starts pulling out her tricks like cloning and turning those clones into bats
Reminds me of Sans.
Who else liked the part where Luigi runs up to Fawful and smacks him down with his hammer and then poses.
As the boss from the video, absolutely not!
One of the few courageous moments he had in the game lol
Luigi: *casually buries someone underground by clocking them over the head with a hammer half his size*
Also Luigi: OH YEAH 😃👍
OH YEAH
+Yeah! 🙂
Cackletta: *EEYAAARRRGGHHH!*
I shed tears and bow my head to one of the best boss battles ever. The setup is perfect, the music is perfect, the villain is perfect! The funny part, the scary part, the hard part, the frustrating part, everything in this battle is just epic!
ZorotheGallade it was actually supposed to be fawfuls theme
Nope, the soundtrack is a combination of cackletta and fawful theme so originally it was going to be a theme of both but in the american version there was an error and they ended up putting the theme of popple in the fawful fight
I agree! I've always loved this scene!
@@MR17576 Are you sure that it was an error and not intentional? Not arguing, just curious as to how you know it was an error?
@@geoffmarshall6925Why would be intentional?
There’s something so cool about how you get to beat the main antagonist of this game less than halfway through. Only to have her minion Fawful resurrect her
I'm really hoping Cackletta shows up again one day, maybe Fawful ressurects her or something.
but fawful is dead
***** true...we didn't get to fight fawful's soul so it could be possible i don't think they would put him in ANOTHER game though
***** so?
no villain would do that because its gay
Maybe Midbus will ressurect Fawful? :P
Not even two seconds the game's shakes from how unhinged and chaotic for what you'd mistake a finale.
And I love it.
I hated it when Cackletta used her clones alot. I lost a lot of refreshing herbs because of her clones.
I wasted over *half* of my live shrooms, and a number of refreshing herbs so big I don't remember.
I play the DX version so did they make that easier
I beat this boss without any refreshing herbs.
I, in some form of miracle somehow won the battle without taking damage
I can't believe I didn't notice it from before, but, the shadows that Cackletta makes when she splits up have a difference. Two are big, and one is small. It's just now that I notice that, instead out of the several times that I played this game...

You are wrong. I looked at it and its 2 small and 1 big. The 1 big is where the real cackletta is. Don't be mad I'm just telling a :P
ERROR! Sans Its actually both. Sometimees 1 big two small and at other times its 2 big 1 Small.
LuigiaTV. Oh so that's how you could tell! I always thought that the real one shot two lightning bolts simultaneously whilst the two clones shot only one..
So you're telling me I spent 25,000 hours looking at the sprites, but it's actually the shadow you should look at???
0:41 OH YEA!
Assaulting someone and saying oh yeah
EEYARGH!
It's strange hearing how good the bass on these songs is with actual headphones, as opposed to the tiny speaker on the GBA
I hate that Cackletta doesn't do the N64-era Bowser roar in the remake.
0:40 I love how proud Luigi is of himself for doing that
Cacklette is definitely the best Mario villain.
i disagree
DraculaCronqvist to me he's like joker but a Nintendo version and creepy but the most popular boss people like in the mario and Luigi series is dark bowser
bryan benitez Cackletta is a woman, and also,while popular, Dark Bowser has nothing on the insanely overpraised Fawful and Dimentio.

Fawful is better
Fawful is better I must say

Maybe we can fudge it with AI.

Here's a tip for clones, see carefully from the holes, if it's different than it looks like, it's the real one
You are commenting a tip for a creator that posted this video.
No no, just a reminder on how to deal with the clones
If thats true I can barely tell the difference.
I love how Cackletta actually ambushes you instead of starting the fight normally.
Cackletta reminds me of Umbreon

This was my favorite boss fight in the game. (Not counting popple fights.)

There’s actually some real strategy,you just have to look
90% of the time popple has good badges on him but he runs away
This battle was absolute hell for me as a kid. I could not beat her for my life, I tried maybe 50 times to beat it, never did. Mostly because I would intentionally kill off Mario first because... well honestly I don't know. I just remember intentionally killing him.
And I never used special attacks. Yeah, I was not a bright child...
No way I also used to kill off Mario first when I was younger

I remember when I first played this game, I was expecting the reason Peach's voice upset the beanstar to be some sort of "Peach's voice is made with love, not robots" explanation or something like that.
Anyone else who played this game when they were younger thought that this was the final boss?
Dude really didn't even try to dodge with Luigi on that first attack lmao
Why do the best bosses have to be so EASY?!?
play it without leveling up see if it's easy

Ya' know, I STILL hate it when she splits into 3.
so is Cackletta a vampire or something?
Lady Gothitelle shes antasma
Steven Patnaude I doubt it
i didnt mean it literally i just thought itd be cool if she could reappear in the next game
they do almost look the same but sadly it isn't
she's kinda of a witch/vampire
the fact that you could know which was the real one by looking the size of the holes.

That hole in the floor left by the Beanstar is shaped like a frog's head.
Best song ever to fight a boss with.

You can tell which one it is if you look closley while she duplicates her shadow, one will be different. [ya pick things up after playing through the game 9 times in full :D]
did anybody know that if you are small mario, and try to do a high jump, then jump as mario, you can punch luigi in the balls for coins?
Cackletta’s Theme is great!
OMG hi its me i watch ur channel i watch mario too
Tip: when Cackletta splits in 3, look closely for the one that looks different from the other 2 and that will be the real one. That's what I learned.
Oh, old youtube.
Cackletta: oh....oh....oh,Fawful! ! !.Get them one final. Attack for me.
Fawful: I say to you Yes!
prince peasly has entered the chat
THEY ARE REBOOTING THIS GAME CACKLETTA AND FAWFUL ARE IN IT
I think antasma was heavily inspired by cackletta with the bats and clones and stuff
I'm glad there's people like me who get hit and arnt immortals at it
Those holes she sends at you are annoying to dodge
Gruntilda Winkybunion in a Mario game? Impossible.
Trump & Pence VS Clinton.
OmegaChase1002 But Clinton lost the election.
much like cackletta lost the battle against mario and luigi
hahahahhahahaha
Kek I'm now imagining Trump hitting Pence with a hammer onto the floor and doing the helicopter move on the debate stage.
So not only did they kill her but they also got rid of her soul
It's easy, just use your items of Mushrooms to refill the HP, or Syrup to refill the Bro Attack points,
The real Cackletta:
Watch closely until you see her lifts up all two arms, for a double-lighting strike like the letter, "T" knowing that's her.
Darcy Gagnon Or look at the shadows of each Cackletta
Or use advanced Bounce Bros, you either hit the real one or get rid of the fakes
Why is the fact that from super star saga to partners in time to inside story to dream team kinda scary? when i was little, i cried because it was scary! (especially cackletta and fawful)
everytime cackletta clones herself, make sure find the real one with her (Lifts both arms up_.
The theme song tho.
Cackletta looks very much like Rocky of paw patrol, and especially like Shezow !
In your defense Luigi was afflicted with the heavy status ailment the second time he got hit.
Cackletta is supposed to be a witch right?
Yes.

Imagine this boss in MUGEN. Heck, I want some of the bosses from Mario & Luigi in MUGEN.

Really can't go wrong with a witch for a villain, can you?
in this boss you just have to spam your best attack. I wish it was harder
