In ''Super Mario 64'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Mr. Blizzards are found on [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and in [[Snowman's Land]]. They hide in the snow until approached, at which point they pop out and throw snowballs at the player. Mr. Blizzards can be defeated by throwing a [[crate]] at them, or circling around them until they fall onto their sides and disappear. Two others, found on a bridge on Cool, Cool Mountain, simply jump back and forth across it and pay no mind to the player. If [[Mario]] loses [[Mario Cap|his cap]] to the giant snowman and does not retrieve it before the game is closed, a Mr. Blizzard will have it on the next visit (provided it is not recovered from a [[Toad (species)|Toad]]).


In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Mr. Blizzards are also found in [[Chief Chilly Challenge]]. [[Wario]] can defeat them with a [[punch]], and [[Yoshi]] can defeat them with an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] projectile and can also melt them with his [[Fire Power (Yoshi)|fire breath]] while using a [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]]. As with many of the enemies, their look is updated, though their attack pattern remains unchanged. They now have zigzag mouths, wear blue buckets for hats, and have solid yellow mittens instead of yellow ones with a single pink stripe. They are defeated by spinning, instead of falling on their sides and shrinking. Unlike in the original version, Mr. Blizzards do not respawn after Mario walks far away and returns to that spot.

Mr. Blizzards' first appearance in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series was in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. In this game, they appear as a battle partner in duel boards. As a battle partner, Mr. Blizzard has three [[Heart Point|HP]] and one attack point. His special ability allows him to always hit the farthest target. [[Chilly Waters]] also features many Mr. Blizzards; most of them are purely for decoration, but a large one sits at the top of the board and throws snowballs when paid five [[coin]]s or when someone lands on a [[Happening Space]]. Anyone who fails to jump over the snowballs will be forced to run from them.

Mr. Blizzard appears as a character in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. According to his description, he is on the [[List of implied organizations#Snowtown Ice Stars|Snowtown Ice Stars]] team and regularly plays at the [[Ice Stadium]]. He is found practicing pitches at said stadium, and is annoyed if he is approached while practicing. Once he asks what the player is doing there, they ask him to pitch some snowballs at them, and Mr. Blizzard says that he will reward them with a [[Gaddget]] if they hit a home run. Once they do, he passes it off by saying that he was not trying, but still gives them the [[Mini Slugger]]. Afterwards, he gets back to his practice.
