Midbus | Midbus also appears in [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|the remake]], having the same role as before. He also has a minor role alongside Fawful in ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. At one point, he is insultingly referred to as slow by [[Dieter]] of the [[Best Fitness Friends]], much to his chagrin. A ''[[Nintendo DREAM]]'' interview reveals that the Best Fitness Friends are the same species as Midbus.<ref>{{cite|url=nintendoeverything.com/mario-luigi-bowsers-inside-story-dev-on-how-it-approached-the-remake-bowser-jr-s-journey-mode-updating-music-more|date=February 24, 2019|author=@NE_Brian|title=Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story dev on how it approached the remake, Bowser Jr.’s Journey mode, updating music, more|publisher=Nintendo Everything|accessdate=December 9, 2024|language=en}}</ref> | ||

Midbus uses a wider variety of attacks in the | During the second battle, Midbus uses a wider variety of attacks; in the remake, he gains the [[Fury]] status after losing half his HP like most bosses, increasing the damage he deals. The Ground Pound-style move seen in the first battle returns: Midbus rolls up and belly flop several times before rolling directly above Bowser, who can now counter by ducking so that Midbus lands on his spiky shell and takes damage. Midbus may also land in front of him, creating a shockwave that can [[Dizzy|confuse]] Bowser or [[Trip|flip him over]]; Bowser must counter by punching Midbus just before he lands. | ||
Midbus can run off-screen to grab a wrecking ball and return while swinging it rapidly. As Midbus approaches Bowser, he must duck and hold his position for a few seconds while Midbus swings the ball over him at a higher speed. If Bowser is hit or successfully dodges, Midbus continues spinning back, with the wrecking ball raised up high or angled low, before throwing it at Bowser. If the ball is up high, Bowser must duck the attack, and if angled low, Bowser must punch it away as it bounces towards him; being hit by the wrecking ball toss can render Bowser dizzy. In the remake, Midbus takes a couple of swings to pick up speed, usually meaning that Bowser must manually duck each one before holding his position for the longer swing. | |||
Midbus has a third attack where he takes a deep breath, puffing himself up, and walks forward before storing energy for a massive uppercut, signified by him flashing. Bowser must rapidly punch Midbus's stomach to cancel the attack before he winds up and gets the punch off; if he fails to do so and the attack lands, it sends him flying upward, with Bowser taking heavy damage and possibly becoming dizzy or flipped over upon landing. Successfully countering causes Midbus to grab his belly in pain, and Bowser can land another counter punch as he stumbles forward briefly before returning to his position; in the remake, a successful counter now damages Midbus. | |||
The [[audience]] will interact with both Midbus and Bowser during the fight: if Midbus lands any of his attacks on Bowser, they throw him [[coin]]s (which are useless to him) and food, while if Bowser performs an "Excellent" Action Command on Midbus with any move (unless it KOs him), he will only receive six coins.<!--This might be a case of "you only see six thrown but the actual bonus is 10 per Excellent". Can someone confirm this, please?--> The food remains on the stage, and Midbus eats it during his turn, while Bowser can punch the food off stage or [[Vacuum Block|inhale]] it to eat for himself, which will anger Midbus; [[donut]]s heal 10 HP, the [[cake]]s heal 20 HP, and the [[meat]] heals 50 HP and [[POW-Up|raises]] [[power]] for a few turns. | |||

*In ''[[Minecraft|Minecraft: Wii U Edition]]'', there is a Super Mario Mash-up that replace skins in the game to characters/enemies from the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. Unused screenshots in the files reveal Midbus skins were originally going to replace the Pig skins, but this was removed from the final version of the game. | |||
