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 (leaving [[coin]]s behind the first time). 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]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', they are found in [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Snowman's Land]]. They can be defeated by running around them, just like [[Mr. I]]. In the remake, [[Wario]] can defeat them with one punch and [[Yoshi]] can melt them with fire breath while under the [[Power Flower]]'s effects.
 
In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', as with many of the enemies, their look was updated, though their attack pattern remained unchanged. They now have a zigzag mouth, wear a blue bucket and have an yellow mitten instead of a yellow one with a single pink stripe. Their faces resemble those of [[Freezie]]s. They also die by spinning until they shrink (similar to [[Mr. I]]s), instead of falling on their side and shrinking.
 
===''Mario Pinball Land''===
In ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', they appeared as one of the many residents of [[Frosty Frontier]]. This time, they don't hurl snowballs and unlike many other enemies in the game, they can't be defeated simply colliding with Mario.

In ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', Mr. Blizzards are found in [[Freeze Mountain]].


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.

One Mr. Blizzard appears in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', at the [[Ice Stadium]]. He is practicing his pitches when the player arrives, and he challenges the player to hit a home run.
