'''Midbus''' is the secondary antagonist in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]]. He is an obese yet slightly brawny, unintelligent, hog-like creature that acts as [[Fawful]]'s chief minion. Midbus's name is a pun on the phrase "mid boss". Midbus fights [[Bowser]] three times during the course of the game (the third time as [[Blizzard Midbus]], his powered-up form); the final fight is the only one where [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] assist in the battle. | '''Midbus''' is the secondary antagonist in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]].

Midbus is a pink creature resembling a boar with yellow pangolin-esque armor, a snout-like tattoo on each shoulder, a light tan snout a slightly large light-pink stomach, and black horns and spines. Midbus is similar to Bowser in build (expect he’s a little fatter than bowser) and temperament, making him a foil as well as a rival to the Koopa King; his Blizzard Midbus form is an elemental contrast to Bowser's fiery attacks, and the snout-shaped emblem on his shoulders even somewhat resembles the Koopa King's own emblem. Like Fawful, Midbus speaks {{wp|Engrish}}, but his speech pattern is more broken than that of his boss's, as he uses short and simple phrases and sentences; he also gives unnecessarily long names to the various weapons he uses (for example, he refers to [[Junker]] as "Super Ultra Great Mega Trashy Monster Junker Bot"). According to [[Nate Bihldorff]], his speech is meant to evoke a poorly dubbed kung-fu movie.<ref>Chester, Nick (September 15, 2009).
