quote warcraft1Glad to help, bro.just bowletta.
She has 800 health points (I think).
Bowletta starts off brown as you can see. You can jump and hammer her to do damage on her. Thunder attacks also do damage on her as well even though she's not critical against them. If you use Thunder Bros., you can temporarily weaken Bowletta's defense while Advanced Thunder Bros. will temporarily weaken her power. Although you'll only be able to do Advanced Thunder Bros. once you do regular Thunder Bros. 25 times correctly. If you don't know how to do Advanced Thunder Bros. (which I'm not saying you do), then just look it up since it would take too long to explain.
Don't use fire attacks on Bowletta, otherwise they'll heal her since of course, Bowser's body contains fire.
Bowletta has two attacks for now.
She can attack by crunching little fire pellets her teeth (hinting that she'll do the following attack:
Then she'll start blowing out many Flarets (which are big living fireballs) straight in Mario and Luigi's general direction. Some of the Flarets will avoid both of the brothers but you should still make them jump the Flarets to be safe. I recommend that you make Mario and Luigi jump at the same time whenever she blows out a Flaret since she doesn't hint who each Flaret goes to (Mario or Luigi or neither of them). And as you've noticed, three of the Flarets that Bowletta blows stop in front of Bowletta and become part of the battle.
The Flarets don't attack, they just heal Bowletta around 10-30 health points each. Sometimes only one of the Flarets heal bowletta and sometimes two of them do. Sometimes even all three Flarets heal Bowletta but that rarely happens. The Flarets have 10 health points each but I recommend that you ignore them since they automatically disappear (until the next time Bowletta does her Flaret blowing attack) when they heal Bowletta. Btw, Bowletta can't do her Flaret blowing attack when the Flarets are part of the battle. Only when they're not there, she can do it again.
The Flarets get healed by fire AND thunder so don't use any hand attacks on them. And since the Flarets are dangerous on the outside, you normally can't do jump attacks on them either (unless under some circumstances where jump attacks actually work on spiked enemies and the Flarets). Hammer attacks are mainly recommended to get rid of the Flarets, though. However, I still think you should ignore them since they disappear when they heal Bowletta like I said earlier.
Bowletta also has another attack (which is really deadly, btw).
Her eyes flash indicating that she will do the following attack:
You'll see two blocks over the brothers' heads. One above Mario and the other above Luigi. Both of them have the number "5" displayed on them. Whenever you make Mario and Luigi jump to hit the blocks above them, the numbers decrease by 1s and when they hit 0, they disappear. Although you will notice that when as soon as the blocks appear over Mario and Luigi's heads, a countdown will appear starting from 3 and counting down by 1s down to 0. And when the timer reaches 0, Bowletta will breathe out a giant flame directly at Mario and Luigi. So make Mario and Luigi jump as much as they can to get rid of the blocks above them before the three-second countdown reaches 0 and make the brothers both jump at the same time when Bowletta leans back to dodge her giant flame.
So just keep fighting as you encounter Bowletta's Flaret blowing and big flame attacks over and over which shouldn't take very long since this is a relatively short battle if the brothers are at Level 40 or somewhere around there.
And whenever the Flarets are there and when Bowletta does here big flame attack, the Flarets automatically disappear as well until of course, she does her Flaret blowing attack again.
Just keep fighting and then you'll notice that you'll have to hit the blocks above Mario and Luigi's heads six times in Bowletta's big flame attack to make them disappear. That makes it a little bit harder. And then when Bowletta takes even more damage, you'll have to hit the blocks seven times to destroy them. And then eight times later and then finally nine times which is the trickiest.
Eventually in the battle, Bowletta will turn black making herself electric so if you jump on her, she won't take damage but you will except under some circumstances where she takes double damage instead.
You can still do hammer attacks on her but she gets healed by thunder attacks and gets normally hurt by fire attacks (but she's not critical against it) in this state.
She seems to only have one attack when she's in this black state where the screen turns dark and she brings a bunch of stars that fall down in Mario and Luigi's direction. The red ones are aiming for Mario, the green ones are aiming for Luigi, but the blue ones aren't aiming for either of them. Just hammer the red and green stars exactly at the right time to counterattack them back at Bowletta and to avoid taking damage. When she was brown earlier and if the Flarets were out and then she turns black doing this star falling attack, it automatically gets rid of the Flarets.
Sooner or later, Bowletta will turn brown again and you know what attacks hurt her and which ones don't. She'll do her Flaret blowing attack and her big flame attack a few times and then she'll eventually black again where she can only do the star falling attack. And then she'll turn brown again, and then black again, and then brown again, etc.
Just keep attacking with Bros. attacks and then you'll eventually defeat her.
Spoiler: After defeating Bowletta
Highlight this box with your cursor to read the spoiler text.
You will now see a small show.
Of course you know to press the A button to speed up speech. A Bob-Omb comes and blows up on Mario and Luigi hurting them down to one health point each. Bowletta then laughs and eats Mario and Luigi. That's weird, don't you think?
Then the brothers encounter Cackletta's spirit in Bowser's stomach and then you have to fight her there....

YOU CAN'T BEAT BOWLETTA! After a few turns, Bowletta fakes being beaten. a time bomb omb appears, explodes, and bowletta sucks mario and luigi into it's belly, and THEN you have to beat cackletta! i've tried to beat cackletta 3 times and i still can't do it!
