Boss: Blizzard Midbus
- HP/C. Medal: 2,041 / 3,061
- EXP: 6,500
- Coins: 120
- Item Drops: Power Fangs X, Star Candy
- Attacks: Punch (Punch counter), Large Snowball (Punch where the Bob-omb is), Snowballs (Shell guards), Body Slam (Shell guard or punch).
- Notices: This boss is fought by Bowser. If a Snawful heals Midbus, his defense seemingly raises, but his weakness to fire increases.
Sub-Bosses: Snawfuls
- HP/C. Medal: 105 / 157
- EXP: 220
- Coins: 0
- Item Drops: None.
- Attacks: Heal Midbus (Outside; +30 HP per Snawful), Ice Toss (Shell guard or jump over).
- Notices: These enemies are fought by the Mario Bros. or Bowser; depends on if they are Vacuumed, which is preferable. If a Snawful heals Midbus, his defense seemingly raises, but his weakness to fire increases.
Strategy:
- When it's just Bowser and Midbus, use a Special attack like Magikoopa Mob or Broggy's Special.
- If Midbus summons Snawfuls, do NOT let them stay on the field as they heal Midbus (30/60/90/120 HP per turn). Vacuum them and let the Mario Bros. defeat them. A Snack Basket can finish them off quickly.
- Around 8 Vacuumed Snawfuls are defeated, Midbus will stop summoning them.
- Heal when necessary. A single mistake on the snowball attacks can be devastating.
- After the battle, switch to Mario and Luigi.
