- “Welcome to Snowflake Lake! Snowflake Lake doesn’t have a Star Space. Each player starts with 5 Stars, instead! You’ll have to sick Chain-Chomps on your rivals to take their Stars! It’ll cost you 20 coins to ride a Chain-Chomp however many spaces you get with a Dice Block. When you ride a Chain-Chomp, you’ll steal a Star from any rival you pass! You gotta get out there and ride those vicious Chain-Chomps to victory!”
- —Brighton , Mario Party 6
Snowflake Lake is a winter-themed board in Mario Party 6 , similar to Chilly Waters in Mario Party 3 . Conifers, dog houses, and a few snowmen, along with a ski lift at the top-right corner of the board decorate the board, and there are ice sculptures of a penguin, Mario, and his 8-bit form. In the center of the board is a small frozen pond that contains what appears to be the skeleton of a Bone Dragon. A Whomp blocks a path in front of an Orb Shop and charges 10 coins for people to pass. Going this way will take the player to the right side of the frozen pond.
Unlike other boards in the Mario Party series, players must win by stealing Stars from other players by riding Chain Chomps, found in the four doghouses throughout the board. Each player starts with 5 Stars (or more depending on the number of Star handicaps). When a player reaches a doghouse, they can pay coins to ride a Chain Chomp. During the daytime, a ride costs 20 coins, and the player determines the spaces they move with one Dice Block. At night, players can purchase up to three Dice Blocks per ride, with each one costing 10 coins. Chain Chomp riders that reach other players squish them, including teammates, and steal their Star. Likely due to this unique ruleset, the board has many Duel Spaces. In fact, it is the only board in the game where a Duel Space can be reached on the first turn.
Since this board lacks Star Spaces, there are no means of buying Stars. Players, however, can receive Stars from the DK Space or lose stars from the Bowser Space.
Landing on one of the two ? Spaces at the top of the board will make a snowman throw a large snowball that will roll along the path. This is similar to the big Mr. Blizzard from Chilly Waters, although there is no way to avoid this one. As it goes, it captures any players that are in the way and takes them back to the start. Landing on a ? Space next to the frozen pond activates a coin game. The rules are different depending on the time of day. During the daytime, Brighton will toss coins down to the players, who grab them while skating, until time is called. At night, players throw snowballs at each other to knock coins out of them for the taking. Also, during the night, large Freezies appear, blocking the paths to the middle of the board. They will melt when daylight comes. Additionally, during the day, there are two ? Spaces near the frozen pond; at night, there are four.

Notes[edit ]
- Out of all the boards in Mario Party 6, this board has the highest amount of spaces, with a total of 72 spaces.
- If a player passes by a Chain Chomp Doghouse while at night and does not have at least 10 coins, the game erroneously says that they need 20 coins to ride a Chain Chomp. The message does not take the price change at night into account.
