| [[File:Snowman's Land.png|thumb|left|Snowman's Land]]
| | In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', a species of Snowman-like creatures known as [[Flurry|Flurrie]]s appear as enemies in the game's icy levels in [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]] where they would chase [[Mario]] or his friends upon spotting him, although they would often slip on they ice due to their low traction. |
| In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]], live snowmen inhabit cold climates, including [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Snowman's Land]], more specifically as the [[Mr. Blizzard]] enemies, but not generic snowmen. There is also the [[Headless Snowman]], who must be fully assembled during one of the course's missions. Snowman's Land also has a large snowman with a pine tree on top. | |

| ====''Super Mario Galaxy''==== | | ====''Super Mario 64''/''Super Mario 64 DS''==== |
| Snowmen in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' also lie in snow-themed areas, such as the backside of the icy planet in the [[Freezeflame Galaxy]] and the [[Snow Cap Galaxy]]. These snowmen have [[Star Bit]] features and orange hats, and are made up of two segments. It takes two fireballs from [[Fire Mario]] or Luigi to destroy them, with each destroying one segment. If the Star Bits have not already been collected via the cursor, they will scatter everywhere when it is destroyed.
| | In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', hopping Snowmen called [[Mr. Blizzard]]s appear as enemies in [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Snowman's Land]] and a giant Snowman simply referred to as the [[Headless Snowman]] is a resident in Cool, Cool Mountain as well who is seeking a new body. They also reappear in the remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. |

| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]] features [[snow sculpture]]s that resemble [[Goomba]]s, [[tree]]s, and [[Bowser]]. Also, a snowman-like boss, [[Sorbetti]], appears as the boss of the galaxy. | | In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', numerous Snowman sculptures of [[Goomba]]s and [[Bowser]] appear in the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]] and a giant snow creature known as [[Sorbetti]] appears to be some kind of Snowman. |

| ====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| | ===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''=== |
| In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', snowmen in the likeness of [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach|Peach]] appear as background objects in snow-themed levels. As of the 3.0 update for the game, they also appear in Super Worlds. When a course icon is tapped on and held, some options appear which the player can use to customize how that course icon looks (give it a pool of water, replace it with a [[Galoomba]], etc.) If the player selects the option to put snow around it, a snowman resembling Mario also appears within the snow. When that course is cleared, the snowman's hat and scarf turn green, causing it to resemble [[Luigi]] instead. | | [[File:DrFreezegood_SMW2.png|thumb|right]] |
| | In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', another species of living Snowman known as [[Dr. Freezegood]] appear as common enemies in the icy levels, where they are often seen skiing towards [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] in an attempt to hit him. |

|
| ====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''==== | | ===''Paper Mario'' series=== |
| In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', large snowmen appear on the giant snowball in [[Outmaway Valley]] as it rolls during the level's [[Wonder Effect]]. | | ====''Paper Mario''==== |
| | [[File:Snowmen.png|thumb|The Snowmen of Shiver Snowfield from ''Paper Mario''.]] |
| | In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Snowmen play an important role in the area of [[Shiver Snowfield]] where they act as the guards of the secret door to [[Shiver Mountain]]. The only way to get past them is to bring them a [[scarf]] for the scarf-less snowman and a [[bucket]] for the hat-less snowman. |

| [[File:MK64 FrappeSnowland.png|thumb|[[Toad]] speeding past snowmen in Frappe Snowland (''[[Mario Kart 64]]'')]] | | [[File:Snowman2.jpg|230px|left|thumb|[[Yoshi]] speeding past a Snowman.]] |
| Snowmen, named '''snowpeople''' in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'',<ref name="MKT">''Mario Kart Tour'' in-game name</ref> appear in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] series, most commonly as obstacles in snowscape courses such as {{classic-link|N64|Frappe Snowland}}, {{classic-link|GBA|Snow Land}}, {{classic-link|DS|DK Pass}}, [[Vancouver Velocity|Vancouver Velocity R]], [[Merry Mountain|Merry Mountain R/T]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and Merry Mountain in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. Snowmen in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' are only part of the background in [[GCN Sherbet Land|Sherbet Land]], but the course's iteration in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' include them as obstacles in the off-road segments that can be bumped into. Snowmen also appear in the battle course [[Sherbet Rink]] from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. Snowmen, if crashed into, commonly cause the player to be knocked backwards while dropping any items they have, but in ''Mario Kart Tour'', they slow racers without crashing them.
| | They appear as obstacles in the ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' course, [[Frappe Snowland]] (which re-appeared in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''), and the ''Mario Kart DS'' course, [[DK Pass]] (which re-appeared in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''). Snowman also appear in the Mario kart 7 battle course, [[Sherbet Rink]]. When the player collides with one of these snowmen, the player will drop any items they have, and they will be knocked backwards a fair way. In DK Pass, they are much more dangerous, as they can potentially knock the player off the edge. These snowmen are seen to have scarves around their necks. |

| ===''Diddy Kong Racing'' / ''Diddy Kong Racing DS''===
| |
| In ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS remake]], snowmen are decorative obstacles similar to trees in [[Snowflake Mountain]], usually on hills where they can only be hit by the [[plane]].

| |
| Snowmen in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' act as the guards of the secret door to [[Shiver Mountain]] in the area of [[Shiver Snowfield]]. The only way to get past them is to bring them a [[scarf]] for the scarf-less snowman and a [[bucket (Paper Mario)|bucket]] for the hat-less snowman. After Mario does this, the snowmen thank Mario and open the door to [[Shiver Mountain]] for him. In addition, Mario will be able to receive items when he sleeps in the [[Toad House]] in [[Shiver City]] after he helps out these snowmen. [[Goombario]]'s tattle says, "''It's a snowman. There're so many of snowmen!{{sic}} They don't melt because it's cold here. The way they're standing...they remind me of gatekeepers.''"
