Talk:Midbus

Created By Fawful
Um... I heard MetaBoss is a robot created by Fawful? That's why there's a type of logo on him? And that also explains why he has odd features? And remarkable power? Or have I just heard a lie of some sort?

I think the logo on his shoulder is a tattoo. Not that that helps. User:Lemmy Koopa Fan

Metaboss vs Bowser
I'm feeling a strong rivaly between these two. I hope we can see more of this guy in the future.

Midbus has similar attacks to bowser, a similar body size/shape, similar horns, spiked back (like bowser's shell), etc. He's like the fat, ugly version of Bowser.

English Name Revealed

 * August 2009's Nintendo Power magazine reveals Metaboss's English name, but I couldn't remember it long enough. I think his English name is Midbas or something, but you can find his English name on the latest Nintendo Power magazine, just to be sure.  10:42, 30 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Actually, his name is Midbus. Maildiver 19:46, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

Not just a pig?
Midbus is also part armadillo, right? Face it, in one of his attacks he curls up like an armidillo. He can also possibly be part bull. HE HAS HORNS!!!!!
 * Is there even any proof that he a pig?

I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be a cross between an armadillo (proof:one of his attacks and his back) and a warthog (proof: not only does he have a piglike snout, the snout has horns just like a warthog, case closed).

Ok, but that's just speculation. Does the game ever mention what he actually is?

No. He's just Fawful's second-in-command, or even a simple minion. 16:49, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Blizzard Midbus?
When Midbus changes into blizzard midbus, during the transformation besides getting blue in color and a crown it also looks like he got a bigger shell is that true?. User:MarioMaster720

Yeah and I'm pretty sure he gained a furry back as well.

Blizzard Midbus article
I think Blizzard Midbus should have his own article.
 * Cackletta and Bowletta have their own articles, along with Fawful and Dark Fawful, so why not Blizzard Midbus and Midbus be in separate articles? Well, shall I make a poll for this?

Yeah, that will be a good idea

Proposal
SPLIT ARTICLE 5-1

Blizzard Midbus and Midbus should be split, per the comments in the above section.

Description
Midbus is a brawny, unintelligent, selfish, overconfident, ridiculous, trash-admiring, dyslexic, crazy, anthropomorphic pig/dragon

Sheesh, you're treating him like he's the most unliked character in the entire Mario universe.
 * You've got a good point there. The opening sentence should be changed, especially because its just a big opinion.

Yeah, it should be changed!

Well, he is a lot of that stuff. We need something like that to be the opening statement for Wario or Waluigi. --Koopapoopa 02:01, Tomorrow (EDT)

The article has already been changed. I think it was Vellidragon. --Koopapoopa 02:08, 18 May 2010 (EDT)

Pig
Is there any proof at all that this guy is a pig? He doesn't even look like one.
 * The trivia section claims he's half warthog and half armadillo. I don't see the "armadillo", but he does resemble a warthog. There's probably just as much proof that he "is one" as there is proof Wigglers are cateripllars; they resemble caterpillars though, and Midbus resembles a type of pig. It's not hard to see that he's not a real life pig, but there is imo nothing wrong with stating that he looks somewhat like one in the article's introduction. Opinions may differ here though.--vellidragon 20:59, 17 March 2010 (EDT)
 * Probably this doesn't help, but Wigglers were actually referred to as caterpillars officially (SMW manual). 06:26, 18 March 2010 (EDT)
 * Meh, bad example then :p There are a lot of creatures in the Mario series that somehow resemble real world animals though without being referred to as those. My point is, stating that a creature looks similar to a real animal doesn't necessarily imply it is that animal or even related to it, but comparing a fictional creature to something "familiar" can be a nice, brief way of describing them (and often comes pretty close to how they look without having to go into detail), so imo there's nothing wrong with comparing Midbus to a pig to describe his appearance.--vellidragon 11:44, 18 March 2010 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I got your point. Sorry for being nit-picky ;) 11:56, 18 March 2010 (EDT)

Infobox
Can someone please explain to me why the infobox here is pink? Shouldn't it be that yellow-greenish color or whatever?


 * Yeah, why? It's not like he is any more special than the other characters. What next? Change Mario's info box color to red?


 * FourPaperHeroes decided that he's gonna give each character its own color for its infobox.


 * Awesome. At first, I vetoed the idea, but that will make our wiki creative! I like it. We should start changing everyone's userboxes to match their color.


 * Has the administration approved this?


 * I don't think so.

This is a big change, so we need to make sure we have admin approval. And we should bring this conversation to the main page.--Koopapoopa 26:97, 31 February 3040 (EDT)

Quote
I actually found the former quote "What?! Nobody pressed dance! You are broken!" better than the current "MUH MUH MUH!", as it reflects his use of broken sentences. Or is the latter quote a catchphrase of him in the English version? I don't know, I have only played the German one. --Grandy02 17:11, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No, that's not really a catchphrase, but I don't think either quotes are that good. But I do think we should put it back to the "You are broken" one for now.

Well, MUH MUH MUH is kind of like his catchphrase or his verbal tik, because that's what he says all the time (in the english version). Its like Fawful's I HAVE FURY! Or his fururururur in the japanese version. Its like Mario's "mama mia" or the emoglobin's "globin" after every sentence.
 * I thought we just used a quote, and not the character's catchphrase.
