- “Somebody! Give me some tissues! It’s not that I need to go to the bathroom or anything, but a lump of snow just fell from the ceiling, and I’ve become a big snowman! Now my nose is running like crazy! What’ll Nintendo do if their BIG STAR gets a cold?!”
- —Wario, Wario Land 4 instruction booklet
Snowman Wario[1][2], also known as Snow Wario[3][4], is one of Wario's many transformations in the Wario Land series of games. It is triggered by having a snowdrift fall on Wario's head. He is then covered in snow, reducing his walking speed (as well as disabling his ability to jump in Wario Land 4), but allowing him to defeat baddies when he touches them. Also, if he steps on a slope, he will turn into an uncontrollable rolling snowball able to break Snowman Blocks. When he hits a wall, he will become normal Wario. This transformation is functionally similar to Ball o' String Wario.
