Character Sheet: Cackletta

 CACKLETTA

Today, we begin our newcomers. I did say going into this that the RPGs would likely be the last shot for many of the frequent enemies you wouldn't expect to see on a Smash roster, but what I didn't expect was that the RPGs would actually come through for a lot of them. At least one I thought was never going to happen in a million, billion years. But here we are. The first ten are all Mario regulars who finally took the step up to playable. The other sixteen are originals to the Mario & Luigi games (or Origami King) specifically.

1. Toadsworth

2. Captain Toad

3. Buzzy Beetle

4. King Bob-Omb

5. Pokey

6. Ninji

7. Thwomp

8. Whomp

9. Mechakoopa

10. Nabbit

11. Mario & Luigi

12. Prince Peasley

13. Prince Dreambert

14. Olivia

15. King Olly

16. Broque Monsieur

17. Massif Bros.

18. Cackletta

19. Fawful

20. Princess Shroob

21. The Dark Star

22. Antasma

23. Midbus

24. Shroob

25. Popple

26. Durmite/Wisdurm

Now, let's get into some of the real good stuff: the villains. Cackletta is the main villain of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, a witch of the Beanbean Kingdom who casts curses on Princess Peach, Prince Peasley, and Queen Bean in a ploy to usurp the thrones of both kingdoms. She starts out the game in her normal witchy form before being killed and her remains eaten by Bowser, at which point her essence starts to take over his body and transform him. We will use the base form, I think.

Across your various battles with her, we can throw lightning, transform herself to look like others, ride in a flying chair that can shoot lasers, cast curses, create bat duplicates of herself, create voids for opponents to fall into, possess the bodies of others (Bowser), shoot fireballs (though that's probably more of a Bowser thing than Cackletta thing), throw shooting stars at you, and suck you in. You also get the chance to fight Cackletta's essence inside of Bowser, which will attack by creating large energy balls, sweep its arms around in a circle, and fire laser beams from its eyes.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Lightning

One of her main attacks. She will raise one hand, which will determine where the lightning strikes. The left will hit closer to Cackletta, the right will hit further out from Cackletta.

Side B: Void

She will send out a dark void along the ground in front of her. Anyone hit by it in the air will be immediately spiked downwards, and anyone hit by it on the ground will be buried.

Up B: Flying Chair

She will fly upward in her flying throne, which will shoot lasers directly in front of her as an added attack.

Down B: Bat Duplicate

She will create a duplicate of herself as a shield, which will disappear after a second. If it is hit, it will turn into a swarm of bats that will surround the opponent and linger on them for a short period, doing steady damage.

Final Smash: Cackletta's Soul

Cackletta's essence from inside of Bowser will take to the stage, swinging its arms around in a circle the full length of the stage, while shooting lasers from its eyes at any opponent in its line of sight.

Entrance: Lightning will strike and she will appear.

Taunts: Up, she will transform into a bat and fly upward for a second. Side, she will hold out her wand and cackle merrily. Down, she will briefly transform into Bowletta, look down at herself in surprise, and transform back.

The Great and Powerful Fawful thanks you for reading with your eyes about his glorious mistress! Return again the day after this day to learn about the one who calls himself Fawful, or else I shall have FURY!!!
