Upon landing, they start rolling slowly across the platform. They are indestructible and can damage the Kongs on contact, but can be safely bounced on with Cranky Kong's cane.
Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World
Ice Balls are summoned by Snifberg the Unfeeling in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. They roll down towards the Yoshi, damaging him upon contact. They cannot be destroyed.
