Talk:Midbus

Created By Fawful

Um... I heard Midbus is a robot created by Fawful? That's why there's a type of logo on him? And that also explains why he has odd features? And remarkable power? Or have I just heard a lie of some sort?File:Unknown Shy Guy.PNGHyper Guy (talk)File:Unknown Shy Guy.PNG

I think the logo on his shoulder is a tattoo. Not that that helps. User:Lemmy Koopa Fan

Metaboss vs Bowser

I'm feeling a strong rivaly between these two. I hope we can see more of this guy in the future. User:Charmander

Midbus has similar attacks to bowser, a similar body size/shape, similar horns, spiked back (like bowser's shell), etc. He's like the fat, ugly version of Bowser.

English Name Revealed

• August 2009's Nintendo Power magazine reveals Metaboss's English name, but I couldn't remember it long enough. I think his English name is Midbas or something, but you can find his English name on the latest Nintendo Power magazine, just to be sure. M&SG (talk) 10:42, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

Actually, his name is Midbus. Maildiver 19:46, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

Not just a pig?

Midbus is also part armadillo, right? Face it, in one of his attacks he curls up like an armidillo. He can also possibly be part bull. HE HAS HORNS!!!!!

Is there even any proof that he a pig? Fawfulfury65

I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be a cross between an armadillo (proof:one of his attacks and his back) and a warthog (proof: not only does he have a piglike snout, the snout has horns just like a warthog, case closed).

Ok, but that's just speculation. Does the game ever mention what he actually is? Fawfulfury65

Blizzard Midbus?

When Midbus changes into blizzard midbus, during the transformation besides getting blue in color and a crown it also looks like he got a bigger shell is that true?. User:MarioMaster720

Yeah and I'm pretty sure he gained a furry back as well.

Blizzard Midbus article

I think Blizzard Midbus should have his own article.Count Bonsula I need blood...

Cackletta and Bowletta have their own articles, along with Fawful and Dark Fawful, so why not Blizzard Midbus and Midbus be in separate articles? Well, shall I make a poll for this? Fawfulfury65

Yeah, that will be a good ideaCount Bonsula I need blood...

Proposal

Template:SettledTPP SPLIT ARTICLE 5-1

Blizzard Midbus and Midbus should be split, per the comments in the above section.

Proposer: Fawfulfury65 (talk) (with the idea from Mr Bones) Deadline: 23 January 2010, 17:00 Split Blizzard Midbus and Midbus Fawfulfury65 (talk)- Fawful and Dark Fawful are split, and so are Cackletta and Bowletta. So why not Midbus and Blizzard Midbus? MATEOELBACAN (talk)- Per FF65. Mr bones (talk)- Yeah, we should seperate them. Baby Mario Bloops (talk) - Yeah, they do deserve their own articles. Gamefreak75 (talk) PEr all. Keep it the same Walkazo (talk) - It's all the same guy so it should all be the same article. Bowletta is a combination of Cackletta and Bowser, so it's not as simple. However, I'm tempted to say Fawful's absorption of the Dark Star's power isn't significant enough to split his article, so if this stays together, I think Dark Fawful should also be merged. Comments What should I put for the deadline? Do we wait 1 week or two weeks? Fawfulfury65 (talk) Two weeks. Hello, I'm Time Turner. Got it. Fawfulfury65 (talk) It's been one hour after this proposal needs to be passed. What are we going to do about it?? I will help the mariowiki a lot (talk) We split them. Fawfulfury65

Description

Midbus is a brawny, unintelligent, selfish, overconfident, ridiculous, trash-admiring, dyslexic, crazy, anthropomorphic pig/dragon

Sheesh, you're treating him like he's the most unliked character in the entire Mario universe. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

You've got a good point there. The opening sentence should be changed, especially because its just a big opinion. Fawfulfury65

Yeah, it should be changed!Count Bonsula I need blood...

Pig

Is there any proof at all that this guy is a pig? He doesn't even look like one. Fawfulfury65

The trivia section claims he's half warthog and half armadillo. I don't see the "armadillo", but he does resemble a warthog. There's probably just as much proof that he "is one" as there is proof Wigglers are cateripllars; they resemble caterpillars though, and Midbus resembles a type of pig. It's not hard to see that he's not a real life pig, but there is imo nothing wrong with stating that he looks somewhat like one in the article's introduction. Opinions may differ here though.--vellidragon 20:59, 17 March 2010 (EDT)

Probably this doesn't help, but Wigglers were actually referred to as caterpillars officially (SMW manual). Time Questions 06:26, 18 March 2010 (EDT)

Meh, bad example then :p There are a lot of creatures in the Mario series that somehow resemble real world animals though without being referred to as those. My point is, stating that a creature looks similar to a real animal doesn't necessarily imply it is that animal or even related to it, but comparing a fictional creature to something "familiar" can be a nice, brief way of describing them (and often comes pretty close to how they look without having to go into detail), so imo there's nothing wrong with comparing Midbus to a pig to describe his appearance.--vellidragon 11:44, 18 March 2010 (EDT)

Yeah, I got your point. Sorry for being nit-picky ;) Time Questions 11:56, 18 March 2010 (EDT)

Infobox

Can someone please explain to me why the infobox here is pink? Shouldn't it be that yellow-greenish color or whatever? Fawfulfury65

Yeah, why? It's not like he is any more special than the other characters. What next? Change Mario's info box color to red?

Ray Trace^(T|C)

FourPaperHeroes decided that he's gonna give each character its own color for its infobox. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Awesome. At first, I vetoed the idea, but that will make our wiki creative! I like it. We should start changing everyone's userboxes to match their color.

Has the administration approved this?

Ray Trace^(T|C)

I don't think so. Hello, I'm Time Turner.
