Fawful, known in Japan as , is a fictional character in the Mario & Luigi series developed by AlphaDream. The character is considered to be "insane," often serving as 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-sequitor. Fawful has received generally positive reception from both critics and fans due in part to his dialogue as well as his villainy.

Fawful was created by Masanori Sato, who worked as the illustrator for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the first game in the Mario & Luigi series. Fawful's Japanese name, Gerakobits, is derived from geragera, the Japanese onomatopoeia for a scornful laugh, while his English name is a pun on the word "awful."

Because Fawful was not based on any existing characters in the Mario series, the Nintendo Treehouse, which is responsible for localizing games for North America audiences, had more creative freedom in writing for the character. Bill Trinen and Nate Bihldorff, both employees of the Treehouse, wrote the English dialogue for Fawful through the exchange of notes. Trinen and Bihldorff intended to make Fawful as "wacky" and "crazy" as possible in the Western release. Thus, in English versions of the games, all of Fawful's dialogue consists of broken English and word salad, including his catchphrase "I HAVE FURY!"

Fawful has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
