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

Overview[edit]

Snowball Summit from Mario Party Superstars
Gameplay from Mario Party Superstars, showing Wario lose Snowball Summit

Players create snowballs and roll them around, trying to knock their opponents off of the arena and eliminate them. The larger a snowball is from being rolled around, the farther it can push back an opponent. Snowballs can also be rolled in the direction of opponents. If two snowballs crash into each other, they break. If at least two players remain if time runs out, it is a draw, but in Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars, each remaining player wins.

Snowball Summit in Super Mario-kun

In volume 28 of Super Mario-kun, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Princess Peach, and Wario participate in Snowball Summit. Mario rolls a snowball at Yoshi as the latter makes the snowman and pushes him off the cliff. Bowser stomps on a cloud to produce a snowstorm, causing every character to fall off except Mario. The big snowball produced by Bowser during the ensuing battle with Mario is revealed to be pumped by two Goombas, but Yoshi comes back and uses a spear to destroy the snowball.
