| | '''Blizzard Midbus''' is the stronger version of [[Midbus]], appearing in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. When Bowser meets with Midbus in [[Princess Peach's Castle]], [[Fawful]] powers him up, changing him into Blizzard Midbus. In this form, Midbus is completely blue, with a brown, furry back, wears a crown, and is stronger than before. |
| '''Blizzard Midbus''' is a more powerful form of [[Midbus]] that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. In this form, Midbus is completely blue, with a brown-furred back and a crown on his head. He also gains icy powers that serve as a parallel to [[Bowser]] and his [[Fire Breath|fiery breath]]. | |
|
| |
|
| Blizzard Midbus possesses the highest individual [[Heart Point|HP]] of any required boss in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', exceeding that of [[Dark Bowser]] and the [[Dark Star Core]] each.
| | == History == |
| | ===Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story=== |
| | During the battle, Blizzard Midbus can use many ice-related attacks. In one of his attacks, he can jump onto a gigantic snowball and try to roll over Bowser with it. There is a Bob-omb sticking out of it which Bowser must punch to make the snowball explode. After Blizzard Midbus' [[HP]] is halved, he sometimes hides the Bob-omb so the [[player]] will have to remember where it is. |

|
| __TOC__
| | Blizzard Midbus can also send [[Snawful]]s out of his crown to attack Bowser. They can throw little snowballs at Midbus to make him recover HP. Bowser can inhale them, though, and allow [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to battle the small foes. Blizzard Midbus also attacks by using snowballs. If he looks at the snowball, he won't throw it at Bowser, but if he looks at Bowser before throwing it, it will go towards him. Then, Blizzard Midbus will attempt to punch him. It can be countered, as usual. Once again, he attacks by body slamming Bowser. Bowser's [[Fire Breath]] can cause a lot of damage to Blizzard Midbus. Most of Blizzard Midbuses moves can cause the [[Sick]] status to Bowser. |

|
| ==History==
| | After Blizzard Midbus is defeated, he gets frozen in a gigantic block of ice, leaving only Fawful to contend with. He then begins pumping out an infinite stream of frosty gas from his snout. Bowser needs to use the gas to help the Mario Brothers progress inside [[Bowser's body|his body]]. It's unknown what happened to Midbus after the events of the game. If followed logically, he may have unfrozen by then, or arrested when the Toads who were rebuilding [[Peach|Peach's]] Castle. Due to the power-up taking over him, it is also possible that he may have [[Game Over|died]]. This is supported by the fact the frosty gas may be the air his lungs contained. |
| When Bowser finally catches up with Midbus and [[Fawful]] in [[Peach's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Peach's Castle]], the pair are operating a machine that transfers [[Princess Peach]]'s power into the Dark Star to awaken it. Midbus then alerts Fawful to Bowser's arrival; as the latter complains about the Koopa King's bad timing, Midbus demands Fawful allow him to take Bowser on. Fawful contemplates assisting Midbus this time around, but notes that he is prideful, and instead elects to power him up via ray gun, transforming him into Blizzard Midbus. The new Midbus then turns to face Bowser for the third and final time, but is defeated.

| | == Trivia == |
| Soon after Blizzard Midbus is defeated, his body is frozen in a gigantic block of ice, and he begins pumping out an infinite stream of frosty gas from his snout. Fawful then attempts to absorb the Dark Star's power; while doing so, he is interrupted by Bowser, who seemingly punches through him as he disappears. As Bowser laughs at how good it feels "finally punching out that weirdo", the Dark Star awakens and begins circling Bowser before forcing its way down his throat and into his chest. This causes heartburn-like pains that Bowser can only relieve with the cold air from Midbus's snout.
| | *Blizzard Midbus has the highest HP of any required boss in the game, exceeding even the final boss. |
| | *Blizzard Midbus is weak to fire, along with his [[snauful]] minions. |

| |
|
| The Mario Bros. make their way through Bowser's body to the [[Airway (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)|Airway]], where they pursue the Dark Star as it steals his DNA, manipulating the environment using the freezing air to progress. They eventually corner and defeat the Dark Star in a battle, but it still manages to take the ghostly incomplete form of [[Dark Bowser]], who then escapes from the Koopa King's body. Midbus remains frozen in place for the rest of the game, and it is unknown what happens to him afterward.

| |
| Blizzard Midbus has many different moves that can render Bowser [[sick]] or else [[trip]] him. He can run off screen and return rolling on a colossal snowball, which has a [[Bob-omb]] lodged in it. Midbus then moves the snowball up towards Bowser, rolling it in place and preparing to flatten him with it; Bowser must [[punch]] the Bob-omb to knock them both back and set it off, the explosion destroying the snowball and damaging Blizzard Midbus. Once around of half of Blizzard Midbus's HP remains, he starts rolling the snowball in place and moving the Bob-omb before approaching Bowser; as his HP lowers further, he will push the Bob-omb into the snowball while rolling, forcing the player to memorize its position and making the attack more difficult to counter. In the remake, he always rolls the snowball in place, simply doing it more as his HP lowers, but he will still push the Bob-omb into the snowball when his HP is low enough.
| |
| | |
| Blizzard Midbus can also leap towards the ceiling and throw anywhere between four and thirteen snowballs at Bowser. The snowballs will only actually hit Bowser if Midbus looks at him while throwing them; the ones thrown as Midbus looks away always miss. Bowser can avoid the attacks by ducking into his shell. In the original game, if Bowser successfully blocks at least three snowballs, Blizzard Midbus becomes angry and drops from the ceiling to attempt a sliding punch, and Bowser can counter it and damage him with a punch of his own. In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', if Bowser blocks all of the snowballs during the attack, Blizzard Midbus will curl into a ball instead and bounce off the ground before charging towards Bowser. If Midbus bounces backwards, he rolls straight at Bowser and must be countered with a punch; if Midbus bounces in place, he instead leaps and has to be countered using Bowser's shell.
| |
| | |
| Blizzard Midbus can also create a quartet of [[Snawful]]s from his crown. On his turn, they can breathe icy mist at Blizzard Midbus; his [[power]] and [[defense]] increases for each Snawful, in addition to recovering 30 (90 in the remake) HP for each one. In addition to the stat increases, he can use an additional [[Ground Pound]] attack: he leaps towards the wall on his end as the Snawfuls lob ice balls at Bowser, who must duck to avoid them. Midbus momentarily slips a few times while eventually making it to the top; from there, he watches Bowser for a few moments before rolling towards his wall, bouncing off it. He then attempts a Ground Pound, which Bowser can counter by ducking so that he lands on his spiky shell and takes damage; he can also continue bouncing off walls and straight towards Bowser, who must counter with a punch. The timing of the Snawfuls' ice balls can make properly countering this attack difficult.
| |
| | |
| Bowser can defeat the Snawfuls normally, causing them to melt away, though Midbus will eventually create more; Bowser can also [[Vacuum Block|inhale]] the Snawfuls, allowing [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to battle them inside [[Bowser's body|his body]]. If the Bros. defeat at least five to eight of them, Bowser exhales the icy mist they release upon defeat, and it freezes into an ice chunk that lands on top of Blizzard Midbus' crown, preventing him from creating any more Snawfuls.
| |
| | |
| Like most bosses in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', Blizzard Midbus gains the [[Fury]] status upon losing half his HP or more, and begins using more powerful and faster attacks more often each turn.
