Strategy:

Junker: Use the Falling Star Special for optimal damage when it's just the Junker. If he summons Trash Bins and hasn't taken Luigi, use Snack Basket. If he DOES take Luigi, repeatedly jump on the Bin in which Luigi is in. Otherwise, be healing. Use Ultra/Max Nuts/Syrup Jars for single-stat healing, or Star Candies for multi-stat healing.
Blizzard Midbus: Counter his Punch with a punch. For Large Snowballs, punch where the Bob-omb is. Use Shell guards for Snowballs and Body Slams, or punch during Body Slams. If a Snawful heals Midbus, it increases his weakness to fire.
