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.

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.
