Snowball Summit is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 3 , Mario Party: The Top 100 , and Mario Party Superstars .

Gameplay[edit ]

In this minigame, players have to create snowballs and try to knock each other off a frozen summit by using snowballs. A player can build a snowball, yet they are vulnerable to other players' snowballs, as it takes time to make one. Once done, the player is able to move the snowball around, and the more time it spends rolling, the greater the size of the snowball. Any contact sends players flying depending on the size of the snowball. Players can also fire a snowball to reach rivals far away without having to cross the entire battlefield. When two snowballs meet, though, they cancel each other out, no matter if one is fired or being built. In Mario Party 3, if two or more players are still on the summit when the time runs out, the minigame is considered a draw. However, in Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars, any players remaining on the summit when time expires are declared the winner.

Super Mario-kun[edit ]

Snowball Summit also appears in volume 28 of Super Mario-kun . Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Princess Peach, and Wario are involved in this minigame. Yoshi makes a snowman, but Mario rolls a snowball and pushes him off the mountain just like in the game. Bowser, however, interrupts them by summoning a snowstorm by stomping on a cloud. Bowser then knocks all characters off except for Mario, who latches on the cliff by using his nose. Bowser calls for help, but his two Goomba minions are sleeping. A fight between Mario and Bowser ensues, and Bowser begins by creating a huge snowball. This is a trick, however, as the two Goombas are shown pumping the snowball, revealing that the snowball is just an inflated decoy. Yoshi then pops it by poking it with a spear. Mario then pokes out of the snow, revealing he is okay.
