In this form, Dark Fawful | The '''Dark Star Core''' is [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s final boss of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. It consists of the remains of [[Dark Fawful]] after [[Bowser]] weakened him, combined with the [[Dark Star]] itself. In this form, Dark Fawful's appearance is overhauled, now consisting of a ball of dark energy with red glass eyes along with his usual grin, and the Dark Star attached to his head in place of his antenna. He also gains new powers, notablly the ability to change his appendages. | ||

Dark Fawful's attacks vary depending on whether or not his legs are still present. Sometimes he picks up the Mario Bros. and uses the Dark Star to shoot rings of stars at them. He will move both the Dark Star and his arms up and down at various heights before shooting the rings; depending on where they are, jumping will either have the bros. avoid the attack, accomplish nothing, or actually propel the bros ''into'' the stars if the Dark Star is right above them. A second attack involves Dark Fawful transforming into a limbless form that then proceeds to chase the brothers. The Dark Star will try to ram the bros in the meantime, but not before appearing overhead with a colored aura which is either green or red and thus capable of portraying which brother will have to jump. After a while, the Mario Bros. will fall into a white portal and the fight will continue. The last attack Dark Fawful uses sees the loon plant his arms in the ground and send energy orbs down them: the bros. must hammer the energy orbs to avoid a shockwave attack which can knock the victim over, and occasionally a larger orb will be sent down which - if struck - will fly back at Dark Fawful, briefly putting the arm | Dark Fawful's attacks vary depending on whether or not his legs are still present.

After Dark Fawful himself shatters, the Dark Star will use two new attacks. The first is a tremendous laser similar to that used by the Dark Star's first form which will deal major damage if the bros. fail to grab Starlow before it is used. Its second attack involves creating an enormous dark arrow which spins above the bros. heads before finally descending, forcing the bros. to jump over it: eventually the Dark Star will make the arrow even larger and fire it at a bro: the targeted brother must send the arrow back at the Dark Star with their hammer or else they will take heavy damage and likely be made [[dizzy]]. Also, while in this state, the Dark Star is immune to ground-based attacks such as [[hammer]]s and Snack Basket. In the [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]], the beginning of the arrow attack is different. The Dark Star will create black orbs of different sizes and make them spin around it. The brothers will then have to jump over them as they pass by; taking damage from an orb will cause it to disappear. Eventually, the Dark Star will absorb the remaining orbs to create an arrow with them and fire it at a bro. | After Dark Fawful himself shatters, the Dark Star will use two new attacks.
