The Mr. Blizzards throw snowballs at the characters, who must dodge them, lest they be frozen solid. The Mr. Blizzards face the direction they throw in before releasing their snowballs, so players should take that time to get out of their line of fire. However, there's no telling the range of any given throw. Every so often, the giant Mr. Blizzard throws a huge snowball. Also, over time, more and more Mr. Blizzards form, meaning more snowballs are thrown. The last character standing is the winner.
