Description Midbus? Metaboss sounded more intimidating but Midbus is more punny which kinda fits I guess.

Okay here's Midbus, an enemy character from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. I tried to replicate the official artwork style for the most part, and I hope it looks decent. This took nearly five hours but it was time well spent.

I think the name is fine. I'm also glad to see a new bad guy in this game. Fawful is cool, but it's also cool to see another bad guy along with him.

Well I still prefer "boss" over "bus". And sadly enough, few Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi characters have appeared outside their games so I doubt we'll hear of Midbus again anytime soon.

not if enough fans send angry letters, he won't! although i alredy know that, few RPG charecters ever show up anywhere else. possibley in other RPG titles, since it seems Chuckola cola is popular all over. but yeah, if he isn't in the spin-offs, or somewhere else, Nintendo just lost a big fan. although nintendo power made a point, he looks like he COULD conquer a kingdom... maybe he'll try that when he gets un-frozen.

Of course there's a possibility he'll appear in a future Mario & Luigi 4, but that's probably it. Not too shabby chances for a cameo appearance sometime, though. Heh, he could appear in a secret freezer room in M&L 4...I kid.

so you know about his fate?

Neslug In reply to Musetry [2009-07-16 01:24:58 +0000 UTC]

Yes. I've essentially played through the entire game, I'm very near the end and I've already seen the few remaining boss fights (and played them all in some form or other except for Fawful's solo battle).

ooohh. so, is his nose still giving him oxygen?

Neslug In reply to Musetry [2009-07-16 01:53:50 +0000 UTC]

Well he seems to be able to exhale just fine. His body's just frozen solid and it looks like he has lost his consciousness or something.

except his nose, since it would have to be uncovered to breath.

They translated METABOSS into MIDBUS?

Dude wtf. I'm with you on this one. Metaboss is definitely better.

I love the battle where the crowd throws food at you or Metaboss. I laughed when Bowser won and ate the food and got all fat.

This game is hilarious.

Remember when Mario goes on like a rope thing and Luigi places his head on Mario's butt?

They make Luigi wackier every time.

Haha, when I saw this I said, "Looks just like the Mario and Luigi style." I love the shading!

When does this game come out, btw? Or is it already out?

Hah, I recognize him because I just got my Nintendo Power a few days ago.
Haven't gotten the game yet. I assume it's good because of all the fanart?

Neslug In reply to Shattered--Stars [2009-07-05 22:10:17 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it's pretty good, bosses don't have as much HP as in PiT but they're still about as tough. This...guy here is the first boss I actually had trouble with. One of the things that sometimes puts me off though, is the health education feel of the game, covering healthy eating, brushing your teeth and an excessive amount of traveling inside Bowser. Can't say much for the humor value as the game isn't out in english yet, but I believe that'll be a plus.

I don't like my video games to preach to me. :\
I'm sure the humor will be great. It's always one of the most enjoyable aspects of the series.

Midbus???? Aw man, whatta crappy name. I wanna my lawyer! Nintendo can't give such a bad name to such a cool character!

Metaboss (I'll still calling him like that no matter what) appears to be angry too on the pic.
