What is "fawful"

Fawful, known in Japan as , is a fictional character appearing in the Mario & Luigi series of role-playing video games developed by AlphaDream. The character is considered to be "insane," and often serves as either the main antagonist or the sidekick to the main antagonist in the games.

Fawful's dialogue was localized in English-speaking countries to parody the poorly translated English prevalent in early video games; it is schizophasic in nature, rife with non sequiturs. Fawful has received generally positive reception from both critics and fans due in part to his dialogue as well as his villainy.
