History (in the Timeline for this Wiki)
After the Games
After Cackletta was killed by the Mario Bros., she existed in the spirit world for a while, brooding over her loss, when she felt herself pulled back into the realm of the living and found herself at a dark, depressing place, where she saw Fawful. She also met Gruntilda Winkybunion, and learned she and Fawful agreed to work together, and Fawful had built a robo-suit for Cackletta's spirit to control. The three of them then went to get revenge on Mario, Luigi, Banjo and Kazooie by kidnapping them. They then held them in a castle located on Star World, but soon they would be interrupted...
First Encounter
Without warning, a group of weirdos named The Yoshi Bodyguards appeared in the castle. The YB attacked the Witchy Fury Trio and saved the Mario Bros. and Banjo and Kazooie. Although they were enraged, they decided to bide their time until Cackletta was able to possess Top Mon Hit with her spirit, forming Topletta. Topletta then went to Hoohoo Mountain, where she blasted her way inside and found a mystical power that gave her increased dark power, allowing herself to give both her and Gruntilda new bodies.
They later joined a group known as Federation of Evil Acquaintances, which was led by Dark Top. Cackletta was the second-in command, and took command of the group when Dark Top was incapable of doing so. Eventually, however, FOEA disbanded, and the Witchy Fury Trio would go to Cauldron Keep, where they've made their base since. A few months later, Fawful appeared with a shard of the Star Haven Star Rod, but the YB appeared and took it from them.
Stop 'n' Swop
At some point, they found the legendary Ice Key, but the YB showed up and took it from them. They chased the YB back to Star World, where they kidnapped Top and joined forces with a dark spirit named Darkost to let Dark Top control Top (they also took some of Dark Top's DNA for later use). Dark Top tried to bring FOEA back, but failed.
Gruntilda, however, knew a secret of the Ice Key, and so they went back to Star World and Fawful snuck into the Yoshi Bodyguards HQ where he found the Ice Key had been used at the Crystal Palace. Going to the Crystal Palace, they located what appeared to be an egg carton and used it to activate the Mystery Eggs. Although they had a head start, the YB were able to get the eggs before them and use them themselves. Despite this, the Witchy Fury Trio had a different plan for them, and so took the eggs when the YB weren't around...
The Plot of Evil Dreams
In the very first story of Topmonhit Story, the Witchy Fury Trio stole the Fountain of Dreams Star Rod, the Master Emerald, and the Magic Paintbrush. They also joined forces with a multitude of other villains, and used these items to take over Star World by controlling the dreams of people. They then planned to kidnap a Jigglypuff to put more people to sleep, the Ripple Star to power their evil machines, and the Crystal Jiggy to fire the dream beam to other planets. They only got the third one, however. The heroes of the story, however, came and defeated them.
Comic Appearances
With the DNA they had gotten from Dark Top earlier, Witchy Fury Trio created a clone of Top named Fake Top, or Tihnompot. They had it steal various things such as the Chaos Emeralds, then they framed Top, got him tossed in jail, and Fawful, using a Hypno Beam he purchased on the internet, hypnotized Princess Peach. When Bob, Danny and Pyro, then Bowser and Koopworth nearly interrupted their plans, they threw them into the dungeon (which was the castle's sewers). Later, when they escaped and Top showed up, Cackletta fought them in spirit form, but the fight was interrupted when Fake Top used the Chaos Emeralds to become a perfect clone of the real one and they fought. Fake Top was defeated, and though the Witchy Fury Trio tried to get the emeralds, they instead got the Klopman Mushroom (one of the items stolen previously).
Later, Witchy Fury Trio found a Chaos Emerald at their doorstep. Cackletta and Fawful began to use it to create a fake medicine that could control the mind of anyone that ingested it while Grunty went to find more. They sold this medicine to people on Star World, but when Dr. Mario claimed it caused mind control (because it ruined sales of his Megavitamins), Chibi and Black Kirby tried to prove Dr. Mario right. They were kidnapped, after which Dr. Mario was, then Cackletta and Fawful revealed themselves. Just before they began to activate the medicine, Dr. Eggman appeared, trying to get their emerald, but before a battle begun, Grodus appeared and attacked all three of them, absorbing them and their powers. In the end, Grodus was defeated, and Witchy Fury Trio returned to Cauldron Keep.
New Alliance(s)
After not doing much for a while, Cackletta, Fawful and Grunty were contacted by the Metal Army, which wished to form an alliance gaainst the X-Nauts, which had recently grown in power. The alliance also included Ein, General LeBombe of The Dark Perforation Army, and after some persuasion, Conrad the Conqueror. Soon after it started, however, the Metal Army base was under attack. Cackletta, Fawful and Grunty helped ward it off, then the alliance went to Hylia to battle against some X-Nauts and a disruptor they held there that damaged Metal Army robots.
Cackletta, Fawful and Grunty helped bring an animator, a device that could bring inanimate objects to life, to the planet's surface. With it, they were able to bring fallen robots back and destroy the disruptor there. Next, they went to Tallon IV to take control of a Space Pirate mine. Once the Metal Army had enough resources, they prepared to strike at the planet the X-Nauts had made their big base, Mintop. Cackletta, Fawful, Grunty and Ein were to attack the X-Nauts' aerial forces. While on the X-Naut ship Defender of Heroes, they came across Numer, Zeth and Cherry, heroes of the planet, but the two sides worked together to take down the ship.
With their job done, it was up to the other groups in the alliance to finish the job. After Mintop was liberated from the X-Nauts, however, Omega broke the alliance and attacked the other groups. Fawful was sent flying off by a missile while Cackletta and Grunty fought Dr. Albert. In the end, the witches were engulfed in a fiery blast, but Cackletta changed into her spirit form to survive, and once Fawful returned the three of them escaped back to Cauldron Keep.
Half a year later, an intruder alert sounded in the Keep. Cackletta and Gruntilda rushed to find Fawful being held hostage by a velociraptor: Ripvor. Ripvor told them that he had the Beanstar, and wanted to make a deal: They help him find a voice to awaken it, and after he uses two wishes they get free use over it. Cackletta, Fawful and Grunty agreed, and located a suitable voice: Cherry, from Mintop. They went there just in time to find out Conrad the Conqueror had just kidnapped her, so they froze Numer and Zeth so they could go instead of them.
After fighting their way through Conrad's base, they attacked him personally and Ripvor literally slashed off his tentacles, so he escaped while they kidnapped Cherry. Without her realizing what they needed her for, they were able to get her to speak enough to awaken the Beanstar, but just before Ripvor used it the Hag 3 was attacked and destroyed. Ripvor quickly used one of his wishes to send them to the nearest ship, which was the Nightwind IV. Cackletta, Fawful and Grunty fought through the soldiers there while Ripvor and Cherry disappeared, then burst in on the bridge.
There they found Subsourian the Dark, the future Sera, Hey You, Cherry, and Ripvor. Ripvor immediately used the Beanstar and wished it back to the Beanbean Castle; having been tricked, Cackletta, Fawful and Grunty attacked them, but were defeated; luckily another ship, this one Conrad's, flew near and Cackletta teleported her, Fawful and Grunty onto the ship, then threw its pilots (Numer and Zeth) into an escape pod and returned to Cauldron Keep.
Non-Canon Appearances
Nintendo Anecdote 3: Not Really a Trilogy
Cackletta made a brief appearance at the end of Act 2, in which she, Fawful and Grunty challenged the teams to a quiz. They were defeated, however, and would not return for the rest of the RP.
The Yoshi Bodyguards (Anime)
This version of Cackletta is more dangerous than her RP counterpart, having stronger version of her spells, and due to the show's status quo, her appearance is that of a hot human instead of a bean person.
Like her RP counterpart, she kidnapped Mario, Luigi, Banjo and Kazooie but the difference is that she possessed Sneezier instead of Top, forming Sneeziletta. unlike the RP, Sneeziletta build a robot army called Cackle Robos to stop the YB while she went to Hoohoo Mountain to gain a dark power. She did let go of Sneezier. With Fawful and Gruntilda, they joined FOEA, their first plan is dropping a gassed spaced colony onto Popstar, threatning Dreamland and the surrounding areas but the YB stopped in an epic battle which the anime fans loved so much.
Trivia
- Topmonhit originally had an idea where Fawful would end up on Rareworld and help Gruntilda, which he thought worked well since Grunty had no assistant and Fawful had no one to assist. Cackletta was nowhere in this idea, however, until he finally used it in the YB.
