| | '''Junker''' (called '''Super Ultra Great Mega Trashy Monster Junker Bot''' by [[Midbus]]) is a boss fought near the end of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]].'' It is a robotic creature resembling a trash can. It is helped by several smaller monsters known as [[Junker Can]]s. |
| '''Junker''', or the "Super Ultra Great Mega Trashy Monster Junker Bot" as [[Midbus]] calls it, is a trash can-like robot that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. It is fought as a boss in [[Peach's Castle Garden]]. | |
| ==History==
| |
| [[File:Junker Dance.gif|frame|left|Junker dancing in the remake.]]
| |
| As [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Starlow]] search for a way inside [[Peach's Castle]], they find an area of the garden filled with nothing but trash. Soon after, [[Midbus]] appears, claiming they will go no further. As Starlow dares him to fight the group, Midbus refuses, saying that the [[Dark Star]] will awaken soon. He then pulls out a remote control and uses it to activate Junker, which springs to life from the garbage nearby. Midbus commands Junker to attack the Mario Bros. and Starlow, but it simply stands idle for a few seconds before stopping and closing its eyes, then dancing when Midbus tries to control it again. This enrages him into smashing the remote, which causes Junker to go haywire and finally attack Mario and Luigi on its own as a satisfied Midbus leaves.
| |
|
| |
|
| After its defeat, Junker begins to malfunction again and rampages through the trash, finding and throwing over the safe [[Bowser]] was captured in (which destroys it and frees him). It then runs offscreen through another pile of trash, destroying itself. This opens the path to a room containing a pipe connected to the [[Pipe Yard]], allowing the brothers to re-enter [[Bowser's body]]. Junker's parts can be found in a pile here; past this room, a [[! Block]] can be found that opens a shortcut through the garden. Additionally, a stronger version called [[Junker X]] can be fought in [[The Gauntlet]].
| | Junker is encountered while infiltrating [[Peach's Castle Garden]] near the end of the game. Upon entering a certain area of the garden, [[Starlow]] will comment that there is a lot of garbage laying about. After [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] progress to the end of this area, Midbus appears, holding some sort of remote control. When it is activated, Junker springs to life from the piles of garbage laying around the area. After Midbus's attempts to control it fail, he smashes the remote and allows it to fight the Mario Bros. on its own. Midbus's attempt to control the Junker may demonstrate why it was in the garbage in the first place, as it began to dance when he commanded it to attack. |

| ==Battle== | | ==Battle Strategy== |
| Before each of Junker's turns, some [[Junker Can]]s will enter the battle behind it; Junker uses these cans in some of its attacks, and they are automatically defeated once the boss is taken out. Like most bosses in the remake, Junker gains the [[Fury]] status after losing half its HP, and begins attacking multiple times per turn.
| |
|
| |
|
| One of Junker's attacks has it throw a bucket over either Mario's or Luigi's head (in a reference to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] game ''[[Mario & Wario]]''); they begin to blindly walk left and right while Junker pulls out [[Thwomp]]s and throws them over the impaired brother. Pressing Mario or Luigi's corresponding button while they walk causes them to [[jump]] in place, and must be used to prevent them walking under the Thwomps as they try to land on them. The attack continues until either the target brother is hit (which may render them [[dizzy]]) or Junker stops throwing Thwomps and the bucket falls off. | | In battle, Junker 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 throws [[Thwomps]] at him. Players must cause the brother to jump with good timing 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 a bro, then attempting to ram him. The Mario brother in question must jump onto the balls, then jump over Junker as it attempts the ramming portion of the attack. |
| | *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]], who will jump over the Mario Bros., which will hurt them when they jump, [[Bob-omb]], who will first light its fuse before charging, and [[Scutlet (species)|Scutlet]], which will immediatly charge after coming out. It will also have useless stuff like a pair of briefs and a wad of paper. Once several enemies have attacked, the Junker Can will be discarded. |
| | [[Image:JunkerandLuigi.PNG|thumb|Junker attacking [[Luigi]].]] |
| | *The Junker may also choose to hinder the Mario bros. by incapacitating [[Luigi]]. It does this by putting Luigi into a Junker Can. Since this attack cannot be dodged, [[Mario]] will be forced to defeat the Junker Can to rescue his brother. However occasionally, Luigi will hit the rim, and escape. If he is not freed, and Mario dies, the player will get a game over, provided he or she has no [[Retry Clock|Retry Clocks]]. |
|
| |
|
| Junker can also walk towards Mario or Luigi and throw a ball of metal scrap at them; dodging by jumping has them land on top of the scrap ball as Junker throws a larger one at them. If this one is dodged as well, Junker prepares to ram through the scrap ball; Mario or Luigi must jump a third time to avoid being knocked off the ball of scrap and taking significant damage. | | After the battle, Junker begins to malfunction again, rampaging around and freeing [[Bowser]] from captivity in the process. It then destroys itself by running into a locked gate, opening said gate in the process. This allows the Mario bros. to access a pipe connecting Peach's Castle to [[Pipe Yard]]. |
|
| |
|
| Junker sometimes picks up one of the Junker Cans and empties its contents; this includes enemies that attack Mario or Luigi. Junker looks at the target brother before shaking out each item, most of which can be dodged by jumping. | | ==Junker X== |
| *[[Bob-omb]]s light their fuses before charging one of the Bros., dealing significant damage on contact.
| | {{bisenemy |
| *[[Scutlet (enemy)|Scutlet]]s drop out and immediately charge Mario or Luigi; they are absent in the remake.

| *[[Cheep Cheep]]s bounce over their target, damaging Mario or Luigi if they jump into it. The remake replaces these with [[Poison Mushroom]]s, which can additionally poison them if hit.
| | |image=[[Image:Junker X.png]] |
| *Wads of paper and briefs will also fall out, which do nothing.

| Once emptied, the Junker Can is removed from battle; in the original, Junker will simply toss it away, while in the remake the empty can is thrown at Mario or Luigi, which can also be avoided with a jump.

| | '''Junker X''' is the fifth boss encountered in [[The Gauntlet]]. Players are charged 1800 [[Coins]] 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 Xs are brown. |

| | ==Trivia== |
| Junker can also incapacitate Luigi by tossing him into one of the Junker Cans. In the original version, this attack cannot be avoided; in the remake, Junker will use a suction attack that Luigi can escape by pressing {{button|3ds|B}} repeatedly. If captured, Junker tosses Luigi behind him into the Junker Can; sometimes he may hit the rim instead and return to his original position. While Luigi is trapped, Mario cannot use [[Bros. Attacks]] or multi-targeting items, and if he is [[downed|defeated]], the can then drains Luigi's [[Heart Point|HP]] to 0 and KOs him as well, resulting in a [[Game Over]]. Defeating the Junker Can holding Luigi frees him; after enough turns, Luigi may escape on his own. The Junker Cans occasionally shuffle their contents between each other, and Luigi sometimes peeks out of his can and waves at Mario.
| | *"Junker" is the only boss outside Bowser's body to be encountered in The Gauntlet, besides [[Bowser|Bowser X]]. |
| {{br}}
| | *Midbus calls Junker the "Super Ultra Great Mega Trashy Monster Junker Bot" once again demonstrating his habit of making long and unnecessary names. |
