Snowball

A Snowball is an item in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island as well as its remake, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. It is only found in two levels. It is a giant snowball that Yoshi can push. Yoshi can push it in the same manner as he can a Chomp Rock. The Snowball destroys all items and enemies in its path. It keeps growing larger and larger in size until it eventually stops. Then Yoshi must hop on top of the Snowball to get to a platform that is normally out of reach.

In New Super Mario Bros., snowballs are thrown by Snow Spikes.

Snowballs appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They usually appear when Fire Mario destroys a snow sculpture. They will build in size when rolled along snow, and they can create temporary snow paths over lava before melting. If a Li'l Cinder touches a snowball, it is defeated.

Snowballs appear in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, where they are once more weapons used by Snow Spikes. When a Snow Spike is defeated, it might drop a Snowball sticker, which, when used, rolls through the stage, smashing every ground enemy.
