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.

  10. Go right, defreeze, hit the ! block, refreeze, and hit the cradle where the water fell. Push the ice block to the right.
  11. Climb to the switch, defreeze, hit the switch, hit the ! block, refreeze, and hit the water's cradle. Push the block left and defreeze to extinguish the fire.
