Mr. Blizzard

Mr. Blizzards, also known as Spinning Snowmen, are living Snowmen in the Mario franchise that hop up and down and throw snowballs.

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS
In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, they are found in Cool, Cool Mountain and Snowman's Land. They hide in the snow until approached, at which point they will pop out and throw snowballs at the player. They can be defeated by circling around them until they disappear. Two others, found on a bridge in Cool, Cool Mountain, simply jump back and forth across it, and pay no mind to the player. In the remake, Wario can defeat them with a punch and Yoshi can melt them with his fire breath while using a Power Flower.

In Super Mario 64 DS, as with many of the enemies, their look is updated, though their attack pattern remains unchanged. They now have a zigzag mouth, wear a blue bucket for a hat and have a solid yellow mitten instead of a yellow one with a single pink stripe. They can defeated by spinning until they shrink, instead of falling on their side and shrinking. Unlike in the original version, Mr. Blizzards don't respawn after Mario walks far away and returns to that spot.

Mario Pinball Land
In Mario Pinball Land, they appeared in the Frosty Frontier Stage. Unlike their other appearances, they do not throw snowballs, and unlike many other enemies in the game, they cannot be defeated simply colliding with Mario.

Mario Party 5-7
In Mario Party 5, Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7, Mr. Blizzards appear as the Mr. Blizzard Capsule. When an opponent lands on the space with the orb, a Mr. Blizzard falls on the player, causing them to lose all their orbs. In the minigame Later Skater, a few Mr. Blizzards make appearances out of bounds.

A unique Mr. Blizzard appears in Mario Party Advance, at the Ice Stadium. A generic Mr. Blizzard also appears within the snow globe of Snow Globe.

Mario Party 9
In Mario Party 9, only two Mr. Blizzards appear, larger than their past incarnations. They are in the minigame Snow Go, in which they attack the player by tossing snowballs at them. Getting hit by a snowball results in the player being frozen. In the Museum, a constellation called Cold Guy based on the snowmen can be purchased.
