Midbus

From The Codex
"Under Construction!"
This article or section will be subject to revision in the near future. The current statistics or information does not fully reflect our views.

Background

Midbus is an antagonist from the Super Mario Bros. series, making his first and only appearances in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Midbus serves as the primary rival to Bowser, and Fawful's right hand man.

Although Midbus doesn't have much stake in the overarching story, he is completely loyal to Fawful and will fight Bowser on a whim. After suffering defeat at the hands of Bowser during their first encounter, Fawful powered Midbus up through use of a Freeze Ray, which transformed Midbus into the fearful Blizzard Midbus. Still, Midbus lost to his rival, and encased himself in ice, yet to be seen since.

Other

Weaknesses: None notable.

Note: In Paper Mario Color Splash, the main point of the game is paint. Paint is a concept. As shown in the game, paint encompasses everything. And I mean everything. Paint is shown to be all of land, liquid, life (Once bringing Toad back via paint, Huey states that paint gives life. Additionally, paint can return the blood, organs, and skin to an old fossil that's been dead years ago), mind (Paint can speak to your mind by coloring your thoughts. Paint was able to take over Bowser's body and freely act on their own. Big Paint Stars are also shown to be alive), memory (Toad couldn't remember anything with the loss of paint on his head. Returning paint gave his memories back), emotions, space (even simple holes require paint to function as holes) and souls. Removing any paint would stop making anything work. It's everything.

Battle Records

  1. "If you're familiar with things like Popeye and some of the old comic characters, you would oftentimes see this cast of characters that takes on different roles depending on the comic or cartoon," Miyamoto said. "They might be businessman in one [cartoon] or a pirate in another. Depending on the story that was being told, they would change roles. So, to a certain degree, I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games."
