How to Beat Blizzard Midbus on Mario and Luigi:Bowser's Inside Story

Here's a comprehensive guide on how to beat Blizzard Midbus in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story:

Overview

Blizzard Midbus is the final form of Midbus and one of the most challenging bosses in the game. He has the highest HP of any required boss, exceeding even Dark Bowser and the Dark Star Core[1]. This battle takes place in Peach's Castle after Fawful powers up Midbus with an ice ray.

Boss Stats and Characteristics

- Blizzard Midbus has very high HP and defense - He uses ice-based attacks - Can summon Snawfuls to heal himself and attack Bowser - Gains the Fury status at half HP in the remake version[3]

Battle Strategy

Bowser's Attacks

1. Use powerful attacks like Broggy Bonker[4] 2. Punch Blizzard Midbus's stomach repeatedly when he puffs up for a massive uppercut[3] 3. Counter his Body Slam with shell defense[3]

Dealing with Snowballs

- Pay attention to Midbus's gaze on the top screen[9]:

 - If he's looking at Bowser, duck immediately
 - If he's looking at the snowball, remain still

- Punch the Bob-omb in the giant snowball to damage Midbus[3]

Handling Snawfuls

1. Inhale Snawfuls when they appear[4] 2. As Mario and Luigi, defeat the Snawfuls inside Bowser 3. When 5-8 Snawfuls are defeated, Bowser will exhale cold air, creating an ice chunk that blocks Midbus's crown[4] 4. This prevents Midbus from creating more Snawfuls and healing himself

Countering Specific Attacks

- For the wrecking ball attack, duck and hold position[3] - When Midbus rushes with an outstretched fist, punch to counter[4]

General Tips

1. Use fire-based attacks when possible, as they're effective against ice types[4] 2. Keep your HP and BP restored between turns[5] 3. In the remake, be prepared for faster and more powerful attacks when Midbus enters Fury status at half HP[3] 4. Consider leveling up or increasing POW if you're struggling[4]

Battle Phases

1. Initial phase: Focus on countering attacks and dealing steady damage 2. Mid-battle: Deal with Snawfuls to prevent healing 3. Final phase (Fury mode in remake): Be prepared for more intense attacks

By following this strategy and staying persistent, you should be able to overcome Blizzard Midbus and progress in the story. Remember to adapt your strategy based on your playstyle and the specific version of the game you're playing (original DS or 3DS remake).
