'''Junker X''' is the fifth boss encountered in [[The Gauntlet]] in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. Players are charged 1800 [[Coin]]s to fight it and the player must beat it in 15 turns or fewer. Compared to [[Junker]], Junker X has higher HP, power, defense and speed, and its attacks are more difficult to evade. Junker X is blue with pink details and its [[Junker Can X]]s are brown with pink eyes.

In battle, Junker X has a variety of attacks. One attack consists of throwing a bucket over either Mario's or Luigi's head. The brother will then stumble around blindly while Junker X throws [[Thwomp]]s at him; players must time their jumps to avoid the attack. If Mario or Luigi are hit by the Thwomp, they may get [[dizzy]]. This attack is a reference to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] game ''[[Mario & Wario]]''.

Another attack involves throwing two balls of metal scrap at one of the Mario Bros., then attempting to ram him. The brother in question must jump onto the balls, then jump over Junker X as it attempts the ramming portion of the attack. The big ball can be jumped on from the ground. A third attack consists of emptying the garbage from one of the Junker Cans that follow it. Often, this garbage will consist of random enemies that go after the Mario Bros, which include:
*[[Cheep Cheep]]s, who will jump over the Mario Bros. and hurt them if they jump; the remake replaces these with [[Poison Mushroom]]s, which can additionally [[Poison (status effect)|poison]] them.
*[[Bob-omb]]s, who will first light their fuses before charging.
*[[Scutlet (enemy)|Scutlet]]s, which will immediately charge after coming out; they are absent in the remake.
*It will also contain useless objects like a pair of briefs and a wad of paper.

Once several enemies have attacked, the Junker Can will be discarded (thrown at a bro in the remake).

The Junker X may also choose to hinder the Mario Bros. and incapacitate [[Luigi]] by putting him into a Junker Can. Since this attack cannot be dodged, [[Mario]] will be forced to defeat the Junker Can to rescue his brother. Occasionally, Luigi will hit the rim and escape on his own; on rarer occasions, Luigi will wave to Mario while in one of the Junker Cans. After doing this, the Can's lid will slam on Luigi's hand. If he is not freed and Mario is defeated, the player will need to restart the battle. In the remake, the player can now mash {{button|3ds|B}} so that Luigi can escape Junker X's suction that puts him in a Junker Can X.
