Junker

Junker is a sub-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 Cans.

Junker is encountered while infiltrating Peach's Castle 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.

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. This attack is also an easter-egg from the old 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, like Cheep-Cheep and Chain Chomp, each of which must be dodged in a different way. Once several enemies have attacked, the Junker Can will be discarded.
 * 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 Luigi.

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.
