In the game, the players must run around avoiding the snowballs that the Mr. Blizzards throw. If a snowball touches a player, they will be frozen and are out of the game. It isn't easy to run at times, as the pond is slippery. The Mr. Blizzards face the direction they throw in before releasing their snowballs, so players should take that time to get out of their line of fire. However, there's no telling the range of any given throw. Every so often, the giant Mr. Blizzard throws a huge snowball. Also, over time, more and more Mr. Blizzards form, meaning more snowballs are thrown. The last character standing is the winner.

Gameplay[edit]

The objective is for the characters to move around the frozen pond, avoiding the snowballs thrown by the Mr. Blizzards. A few seconds before throwing a snowball, a Mr. Blizzard faces a certain direction, giving the characters a short chance to avoid that direction before the Mr. Blizzard throws a snowball. If a character is hit by a snowball, they freeze into a block of ice for the rest of the minigame and lose. Over time, more small Mr. Blizzards gather around the frozen pond, and the characters have to avoid more snowballs at a time. Sometimes the large Mr. Blizzard throws a huge snowball. The last character standing is the winner, although more than one can win if they escape all the snowballs within the time limit. A tie occurs if no one escapes all the snowballs.
