Blizzard Midbus: Difference between revisions

Blizzard Midbus has a few different moves, some of which can render Bowser [[sick]] or else [[trip]] him. He can run off screen and return rolling on a colossal snowball, which has a [[Bob-omb]] lodged in it. Midbus then rolls the snowball in front of Bowser, rolling it in place and preparing to flatten him with it; Bowser must [[punch]] the Bob-omb to knock them both back and set it off, the explosion destroying the snowball and damaging Blizzard Midbus. Once around of half of Blizzard Midbus's HP remains, he starts rolling the snowball in place and moving the Bob-omb before approaching Bowser; as his HP lowers, he will push the Bob-omb into the snowball while rolling, forcing the player to memorize its position and making the attack more difficult to counter.

Blizzard Midbus can also leap towards the ceiling and throw anywhere between four and thirteen snowballs at Bowser; the snowballs only actually hit him if Midbus looks at Bowser while throwing them, while the ones thrown as Midbus looks away miss him. This attack is countered by ducking; if Bowser can defend three snowballs or more, Blizzard Midbus becomes angry and drop from the ceiling to attempt a sliding punch on him, and Bowser can counter it and damage him with a punch of his own. The timing of the Snawfuls' ice balls can make properly countering this attack difficult.

Blizzard Midbus can also create a quartet of [[Snawful]]s from his crown. On his turn, they can breathe icy mist at Blizzard Midbus; his [[power]] and [[defense]] increases for each Snawful, in addition to recovering 30 HP per Snawful. Midbus's attacks deal far more damage in this state, and he can use an additional [[Ground Pound]] attack: he leaps towards the wall towards his end as the Snawfuls lob ice balls at Bowser, who must duck to avoid them. Midbus momentarily slips a few times while eventually making it to the top; from there, he watches Bowser for a few moments before rolling towards his wall, bouncing off it and then Ground Pounding Bowser, who can counter and damage him by ducking so that he lands on his spiky shell.

Bowser must [[Vacuum Block|inhale]] the Snawfuls, allowing [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to battle them inside [[Bowser's body|his body]]; if they defeat at least five of them, Bowser exhales the icy mist they release upon defeat. The mist freezes into an ice chunk that lands on top of Blizzard Midbus' crown, preventing him from creating any more Snawfuls.

After Blizzard Midbus is defeated, his body is soon frozen in a gigantic block of ice, pumping out an infinite stream of frosty gas from his snout. Fawful then attempts to absorb the Dark Star's power, but is interrupted by Bowser and seemingly disappears. While Bowser laughs at how good "finally punching out that weirdo felt", the Dark Star awakens and begins circling Bowser before forcing its way down his throat and into his chest. This causes heartburn-like pains that Bowser can only relieve with the cold air from Midbus's snout. The Mario Bros. must make their way through Bowser's body and to the [[Airway (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)|Airway]], where they must manipulate the environment using the freezing air to pursue the Dark Star as it steals his DNA. They eventually corner and defeat the Dark Star in a battle, but it still manages to take the ghostly incomplete form of [[Dark Bowser]], who then escapes from the Koopa King's body. Midbus remains there for the rest of the game, and it is unknown what happens to him afterward.
