The third game in the ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi Mario & Luigi]]'' {{RPG}} series, released in 2009 for the NintendoDS. Its Japanese name is "Mario and Luigi RPG 3!!!".

** Bowser Memory M and Bowser Memory L's attacks are based on previous ''SuperMarioBros'' games. Mario finds a SuperStar, or he finds a mushroom and starts breaking blocks. [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Luigi is chased by a ghost]].

*** Note that he got mad and attacked you not because you pulled the carrot up, but because you ate it, ''[[InsaneTrollLogic which he told you to do.]]''

** Justified, given the ways you could abuse the Bowser/Bros. dynamic.

* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Usually for a game that bases its attack system of dodging attacks, [[spoiler: Peach's castle]] has one, it even calls it "Unavoidable attack". Bowser will take damage from this and cannot counter it.

* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Fawful has passed down his IntentionalEngrishForFunny to his [[TheDragon dragon]], Midbus. However, it's nowhere near as bad, and he simply speaks in a somewhat redundant fashion like the badly translated/dubbed kung-fu movies.

* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Fawful has passed down his ZeroWingrish to his [[TheDragon dragon]], Midbus. However, it's nowhere near as bad, and he simply speaks in a somewhat redundant fashion like the badly translated/dubbed kung-fu movies.

* ZeroWingrish: Fawful has passed down his ZeroWingrish to his [[TheDragon dragon]], Midbus. However, it's nowhere near as bad, and he simply speaks in a somewhat redundant fashion like the badly translated/dubbed kung-fu movies.

*** If you want to get technical... the final boss of all three games involve Bowser being possessed (sort of) by something he probably shouldn't have ate.

* {{Flanderization}}: A subtle example. Fawful's speech patterns are somewhat MORE broken than in Superstar Saga, where he would simply talk in first release FinalFantasyI level sentences with some Zero Wing thrown in near the end. Here, he's more prone to Zero Wing level sentences, with the new [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Redundancy Department]] deskboy being Midbus (whom Fawful likely taught how to talk like.)

**** On the subject of Midbus, that logo on his shoulder looks [[{{MOTHER3}} more than a little familiar]]...

* EverythingsCuterWithKittens: Blitties

* EverythingsMessierWithPigs: Midbus, who's a pig with an armadillo shell.

* AFatherToHisMen: Bowser's troops see him like this, even though he treats them like crap. Though he does [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold care for them underneath all his yelling and berating]]. If you try to leave the screen with the Goombas still in the cage, [[ButThouMust Bowser will stop and insist he should help those "idiot Goombas"]].

* {{Flanderization}}: A subtle example. Fawful's speech patters are somewhat MORE broken than in Superstar Saga, where he would simply talk in first release FinalFantasyI level sentences with some Zero Wing thrown in near the end. Here, he's more prone to Zero Wing level sentences, with the new [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Redundancy Department]] deskboy being Midbus.
** Fawful probably taught Midbus to talk like that.

* [[spoiler: BiggerBad: The Dark Star.]]

* DeadpanSnarker: Bowser and Starlow have moments of this.

* {{Squick}}: In Bowser's Castle, a common enemy is a sick thwomp, who spends the whole battle with ''snot hanging out of it's nose.''

A mysterious disease is causing Toads to swell into giant balloons. Fawful makes a comeback, tricking Bowser into miniaturizing most of the toads in Peach Castle and sucking them into his own body, in a bid to capture Princess Peach and use her power to claim the Darkness Power of the Dark Star, [[SealedEvilInACan buried beneath the Mushroom kingdom]], also the cause of the disease. He also takes over Bowser Castle, capturing some of his minions and brainwashing the rest, so Bowser joins the side of good (sorta) as he tries to take back his palace and free all his minions. Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi [[FantasticVoyagePlot aid him from inside his body when necessary]] in the midst of collecting the three Star Cures needed to counteract the Dark Star.
