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 blue eyes and a pine tree on top.
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]], [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] features the [[Headless Snowman]], who must be fully assembled during one of the course's missions. Additionally, [[Snowman's Land]] takes place around a very large snowman with a pine tree on top. The [[Mr. Blizzard]] enemy is also based on a snowman.

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 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.

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.
Throughout the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, snowmen commonly appear as obstacles in snowscape courses such as {{classic-link|N64|Frappe Snowland}}, {{classic-link|GBA|Snow Land}}, {{classic-link|GCN|Sherbet 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]]''. They are also present on the ''Mario Kart 7'' battle course, [[Sherbet Rink]].
 
In most of their appearances, when the player collides with a snowman, the player is knocked backwards while dropping any items they have. In DK Pass, snowmen can potentially knock the player off the edge. However, in ''Mario Kart Tour'', where they are referred to as '''snowpeople''',<ref>''Mario Kart Tour'' in-game name</ref> they simply cause racers to slow down without crashing them.
 
In the ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' version of Sherbet Land, snowmen are only part of the background, but in the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' version, they are found as obstacles that can be bumped into, though they are only located in the off-road segments. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', they appear in mission 5-2 where the player has to avoid them while collecting coins, otherwise they fail the mission.

===''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 the remake's optional touch challenge against [[Bluey the Walrus]] throw snowballs to attack.

In ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', however, snowmen throw snowballs (similar to [[Mr. Blizzard]]) in the optional touch challenge against [[Bluey the Walrus]]; tapping the snowballs breaks them, but the snowmen themselves are immune.

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.''"
