− | During | + | During ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', he took in an amnesiac [[Bowser]] as his masked sidekick and nicknamed him "Rookie". The pair wre first seen at the Chateau de Chucklehuck, where they attempted to steal the Chuckola Reserve. There they met [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], and when Popple assumed that they were rival thieves, he and his Rookie engaged them in a battle. The two thieved ended up fleeing after being defeated and then waited within the Chucklehuck Woods until Mario and Luigi open the path to the Chuckola Reserve. Popple and Rookie managed to arrive at the Chuckola Reserve first, only to be trapped in barrels and then sent flying away by the [[Chuckolator]]. |
They next showed up in the basement of the Woohooniversity, where the [[Beanstar]] fell to them after [[Cackletta]]'s defeat. However, Mario and Luigi soon arrived and defeated them again. At that point, a [[Peach]] robot speaking in [[Birdo]]'s voice irritated the Beanstar to the point where it flew off in a rage with the Mario Brothers, Popple and Rookie all holding on, until the star split into pieces. This split the four up, and Popple was never reunited with his original Rookie due to Bowser regaining his memories and then being possessed by Cackletta. Popple wound up back in the Chucklehuck Woods, where he struggled to retrieve a Beanstar piece from a statue. Mario and Luigi arrived just as he claimed it. Without a Rookie to depend on, he was easily defeated and forced to surrender the Beanstar piece. | They next showed up in the basement of the Woohooniversity, where the [[Beanstar]] fell to them after [[Cackletta]]'s defeat.

It is unclear if his memories managed to fully return. He once more acted as a thief, referring to himself as the Shadow Thief and the Baron of Burgling, but he did not recognize the Mario Brothers when meeting them.
