'''Midbus''' is the secondary antagonist in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]]. He is a brawny, unintelligent, pig-like creature that acts as [[Fawful]]'s chief minion. Midbus's name is a pun on the phrase "mid boss". Midbus fights [[Bowser]] three times, the third time as [[Blizzard Midbus]], where [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] also assist in battle.

Midbus is a pink creature resembling a boar with yellow {{wp|pangolin}}-esque armor, a snout-like tattoo on each shoulder, a light-pink belly, and black horns and spines. Midbus is similar to Bowser in build and temperament, making him a foil as well as a rival to the Koopa King; his Blizzard Midbus form is an elemental contrast to Bowser's fiery attacks, and the snout-shaped emblem on his shoulders even somewhat resembles the Koopa King's own emblem. Like Fawful, Midbus speaks {{wp|Engrish}}, but his speech pattern is more broken than that of his boss's, as he uses short and simple phrases and sentences; he also gives unnecessarily long names to the various weapons he uses (for example, he refers to [[Junker]] as "Super Ultra Great Mega Trashy Monster Junker Bot"). According to [[Nate Bihldorff]], his speech is meant to evoke a poorly dubbed kung-fu movie.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Chester, Nick|date=September 15, 2009|url=www.destructoid.com/localization-mario-luigi-bowsers-inside-story|title=Localization Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story|publisher=Destructoid|accessdate=February 16, 2023}}</ref>

Later, at [[Bowser Path]], Midbus launches an enormous [[iron ball]] at Bowser,<ref>{{cite|timestamp=16:17|url=youtu.be/Z0jdlKuDLSI?feature=shared&t=977|title=''Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' - Part 13: FAWFUL'S SPECIAL WEAPON!|author=SullyPwnz|date=October 31, 2015|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> but with help from the Mario Bros. in the fourth [[Arm Center]] segment, Bowser manages to throw the iron ball back on the castle, forcing it to land it.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/Z0jdlKuDLSI?feature=shared&t=1136|timestamp=18:56|title=''Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' - Part 13: FAWFUL'S SPECIAL WEAPON!|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>

In the castle, now [[Fawful Theater|a gigantic theater]], Midbus and Bowser fight a caged match hosted by Fawful,<ref>{{cite|quote=It is the time!

Best workout ever!|author=Bowser|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|date=2009}}</ref>

Much later, the Mario Bros. and Starlow are in a junkyard within Princess Peach's Castle, which Fawful had taken over. Midbus arrives on a flying platform, pulls out a remote, and assembles a [[Junker|trash robot]] to attack the Mario Bros.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/lXchg1t0YJo?feature=shared&t=1133|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 3DS'' - Walkthrough Part 17 Junker Boss Battle|author=BlazzerSora|date=January 23, 2019|publisher=YouTube|language=en|timestamp=18:53}}</ref> Since the robot is unresponsive, Midbus breaks the remote angrily,<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/lXchg1t0YJo?feature=shared&t=1177|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 3DS'' - Walkthrough Part 17 Junker Boss Battle|publisher=YouTube|timestamp=19:37}}</ref> leaving Mario and Luigi to fight an erratic robot.<ref>{{cite|quote=Oh. Well, good. Now you work. Trash these trashmen!|author=Midbus|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''|publisher=Nintendo|date=2009|language=en}}</ref>

Bowser later has his final encounter with Midbus and Fawful in Peach's Castle as the two are busy transferring Peach's power into the [[Dark Star]] to awaken it.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=02:30|url=youtu.be/NOhsVEoHH2M?feature=shared&t=150|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 3DS'' - Walkthrough Part 19 Blizzard Midbus Boss Battle & Airway|publisher=YouTube|language=en|date=January 25, 2019}}</ref> Midbus alerts Fawful to Bowser's arrival and wishes to fight him again.<ref>{{cite|author=Midbus|quote=Lord Fawful.

Midbus ultimately loses and somehow becomes frozen up to his neck in a block of ice,<ref>{{cite|timestamp=13:39|url=youtu.be/NOhsVEoHH2M?feature=shared&t=819|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 3DS'' - Walkthrough Part 19 Blizzard Midbus Boss Battle & Airway|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> remaining in this state for the rest of the journey.

Midbus has the same role in [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|the remake]]. However, 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>

==Battle==
:''For details on the third fight against Midbus, see [[Blizzard Midbus#Battle|the appropriate section on that form's article]].
===Cavi Cape===
Midbus is the first boss fought by Bowser, and he is considered to be a tutorial boss. Midbus is first warned by [[Fawful]] about Bowser's [[punch]].<ref>{{cite|quote=The longer he is holding back his punch, the bigger the hurting to your face!|author=Fawful|date=2009|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> It is then Bowser's turn,<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/pWKgJCh1jB4?feature=shared&t=269|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' - Midbus {{!}} Episode 5 Let's Play Walkthrough|date=May 9, 2013|publisher=YouTube|language=en|timestamp=04:29|author=iSneakSometimes}}</ref> in which he has to wind up a punch with {{button|ds|X}} to deal the most damage, but before losing his balance, although Fawful's warnings showing the proper timing.<ref>{{cite|quote=If you are holding back your punch to the last second by pressing {{button|ds|X}}, that is BADNESS!|author=[[Fawful]]|date=2009|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> The same is done for Bowser's [[counterattack]] punch.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=04:56|url=youtu.be/pWKgJCh1jB4?feature=shared&t=296|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' - Midbus {{!}} Episode 5 Let's Play Walkthrough|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> The fight ends with Midbus using a [[Ground Pound]]-like attack that Bowser cannot counter since he has not learned [[shell defense]] yet. It is after this that the Vacuum Shroom leaves Bowser feeling unwell.<ref name=shroom/>

===Bowser's Castle===
Midbus uses a wider variety of attacks in the Bowser's Castle battle. Midbus can run off-screen to grab a wrecking ball and return while swinging it rapidly. Bowser can avoid this by ducking and holding his position for a few seconds while Midbus swings the ball over him at a higher speed.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=04:03|url=youtu.be/K10X938R1Wo?feature=shared&t=243|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' Boss 10 - Midbus|date=March 30, 2019|publisher=YouTube|language=en|author=BossBattleChannel}}</ref> If Bowser dodges successfully, Midbus continues spinning back with the wrecking ball before throwing it at Bowser; if the ball is up high, Bowser can avoid the attack by ducking, but 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 one of his other attacks, Midbus takes a deep breath, puffs himself up, and walks forward before storing energy for a massive uppercut, signified by him flashing.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=05:34|url=youtu.be/fZkIBPRN2IM?feature=shared&t=334|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 3DS'' - Midbus Boss|author=Sleepant|date=January 16, 2019|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> Bowser can counter the attack by punching Midbus's stomach repeatedly, but if he does not, Midbus sends him flying upward, inflicting lots of damage on Bowser and possibly affecting him with dizzy or being flipped. 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.

Since Bowser knows shell defense, he can counter Midbus's Body Slam, unlike the previous battle.<ref>{{cite|quote=Each move can be answered, such as using  the shell defense to wound Midbus as he attempts a Body Slam.}}</ref> However, Midbus may land in front of Bowser, creating a shockwave that can either [[Dizzy|confuse]] or [[Trip|flip him over]], but this can be countered with a punch.

The boss fight has an interactive [[audience|crowd]]. If Midbus lands any of his attacks on Bowser, they throw him food.<ref>{{cite|author=Browne|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=62|quote=The crowd tosses food on the stage to reward Midbus.}}</ref> If Bowser performs an "Excellent" Action Command on Midbus without KO'ing him, he receives only six coins.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=03:54|url=youtu.be/K10X938R1Wo?feature=shared&t=234|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' Boss 10 - Midbus|publisher=YouTube}}</ref><!--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 the remake, Midbus gains the [[Fury]] status after losing half his HP,<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/fZkIBPRN2IM?feature=shared&t=298|timestamp=04:58|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 3DS'' - Midbus Boss|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> like most bosses. For Midbus' iron ball move, he takes a couple of swings to pick up speed, so Bowser usually has to duck manually before holding his position for the longer swing. It is now possible to damage Midbus by successfully countering his puffed-up chest move.<ref>{{cite|timestamp=05:41|url=youtu.be/fZkIBPRN2IM?feature=shared&t=341|title=''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 3DS'' - Midbus Boss|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>
