Popple appears again in Chucklehuck Woods, trying to get a piece of the Beanstar off of a statue. He is then fought again, this time without the help of Rookie. After losing, he swears revenge upon the two and spins himself into the ground to escape. Popple once again appears in [[Teehee Valley]], after having made a base there. After finding an unconscious Luigi in the desert, he takes him as a prisoner to lure Mario to his base. Mario frees Luigi, but Popple soon attacks and introduces his new Rookie, [[Birdo]], who had fallen hopelessly in love with him. Despite his new teammate, they still lose in battle, and Popple blames his defeat on Birdo. Birdo, heart-broken, knocks him through the wall. Later on Popple is arrested offscreen and is then sentenced to community service in [[Little Fungitown]], where he is last seen with his supervisor ironically calling him Rookie.

Popple returns in the game's [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]], where in the main story, he has the same role as the original game. Popple also appears in the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' mode, where further backstory is revealed. It is shown that Popple trips on Bowser while stealing food in [[Hoohoo Village]], causing the unconscious Koopa King to wake up and follow Popple. Soon after, Popple makes the amnesiac Bowser his Rookie. In Chucklehuck Woods, Popple momentarily loses sight of Rookie, and asks a group of Bowser's [[Koopa Troop|minions]], led by [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]], where Rookie went off to. However, the minions intimidate Popple into a fight, which Popple loses. Rookie appears soon after, and despite Captain Goomba's attempts to bring his master back [[Bowser's Castle|home]], Rookie does not recognize his minions and burns Captain Goomba with his [[Fire Breath|fire breath]]. The minions then leave.

Popple is later encountered again, now looking for a replacement for the missing Rookie (following the events with Mario and Luigi in Woohoo Hooniversity). Candidates for Rookie's replacement include Birdo, a [[Fighter Fly]], a [[Beanie]], a [[Paratroopea]], and a [[Tanoomba]]. Popple sees Bowser's minions again and fights them, but is again defeated. Birdo, the only potential Rookie left, then takes Popple away.

[[File:PoppleEncounter1M&LDT.png|thumb|right|Popple's first encounter with the Bros. in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''.]]
Popple reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. In this game, Popple is first met outside of [[Pi'illoper]]'s house. After a failed robbery of his house, Popple runs into the Bros., whom he does not remember, and drops his loot. However, he begins vaguely recalling his unfortunate encounters with them in the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] (while unaware that it was specifically ''them'' he had in mind). He is later seen on two tours, at [[Driftwood Shore]] and [[Mount Pajamaja]], the former of which he abandons due to a lack of potential treasure, and the latter of which he is kicked out of by the Massif Bros., who explain there is no room for him. He later attempts to burgle Pi'lloper's collection room again, this time from the back entrance, accessible through the northern ruins. He misinterprets a [[Wiggler#Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|Wiggler]], whom aspires to build a garden in the Pi'illo ruins, for a security guard, and meets Mario and Luigi, whom he still does not quite remember. If Mario and Luigi come here before finding all the parts of the [[Ultibed]], Popple will tell them to "find more loot" first.

Later, he starts calling them his "rookies", just like he did with Bowser and Birdo in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. He then forces Mario and Luigi into a battle against Wiggler by enraging him with insults. After the Bros. beat Wiggler, Popple suddenly turns against them, aiming to claim Pi'illoper's treasure for himself, but is quickly beaten by the Bros. Afterwards, he realizes Wiggler was not a security guard and continues to insult Wiggler and his aspirations, angered that he fought over a "stupid flower garden". Wiggler then chases Popple for insulting the flowers, and Popple declares he has had enough of [[Pi'illo Island|this island]]. He is not seen again for the rest of the game.
