'''Mr. Blizzards''', also known as '''Spinning Snowmen''',<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980205065516/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/faqs.html|title=Super Mario 64 FAQs|publisher=Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy|accessdate=February 23, 2018|language=en-us}}</ref> are living [[snowman|snowmen]] in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], first appearing in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They hop up and down and throw [[snowball]]s.

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.

In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', Mr. Blizzards appear in the [[minigame]] [[Mr. Blizzard's Brigade]], now with a giant version that throws bigger snowballs.

====''Mario Party 5''====

In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Mr. Blizzards appear as the [[Mr. Blizzard Orb|Mr. Blizzard Capsule]]. When an opponent lands on the [[space (Mario Party series)|space]] with the Orb, a Mr. Blizzard falls on the player, causing them to lose all their [[Orb]]s. In the minigame [[Later Skater]], a few Mr. Blizzards make appearances out of bounds.

 

In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', Mr. Blizzards return with the Mr. Blizzard Capsule, now called the [[Mr. Blizzard Orb]], which has the same function as before.

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.

 

Mr. Blizzard also appears within the snow globe of [[Snow Globe (Gaddget)|Snow Globe]].

 

In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', Mr. Blizzards again return with the Mr. Blizzard Orb. In this game, their design is updated to the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' one.

In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', only two Mr. Blizzards appear, larger than their past incarnations. They are in the minigame [[Snow Go]], in which they attack the player by tossing snowballs at them. Getting hit by a snowball results in the player's being frozen. In the Museum, a constellation called '''Cold Guy''' based on the snowmen can be purchased.

In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', Mr. Blizzard is the third boss to be fought in the [[Bowser's Tower]] mode (being faced off against on the fifteenth floor). He hosts the minigame [[Mr. Blizzard's Snow Slalom]], where the player rolls into him with snowballs. Meanwhile, Mr. Blizzard throws damaging snowballs at them.

In ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', some Mr. Blizzards reappear out of bounds in the minigame Later Skater from ''Mario Party 5''. Mr. Blizzard also makes a cameo appearance on the box art from ''Mario Party 3'' in the Collection mode.
