==Gameplay==
Players move around the icy pond, dodging the snowballs that Mr. Blizzards throw at them. Mr. Blizzard faces a direction before throwing a snowball. Players hit by snowballs are each trapped into a block of ice, disqualifying them. More Mr. Blizzards appear over time. The big Mr. Blizzard throws a larger snowball than the smaller Mr. Blizzards. Any players who avoid the snowballs until time runs out, or the last player remaining, wins. If every character is frozen, it is a tie.
The objective is for the characters to move around the frozen pond, avoiding the snowballs thrown by the Mr. Blizzards. A few seconds before throwing a snowball, a Mr. Blizzard faces a certain direction, giving the characters a short chance to avoid that direction before the Mr. Blizzard throws a snowball. If a character is hit by a snowball, they freeze into a block of ice for the rest of the minigame and lose. Over time, more small Mr. Blizzards gather around the frozen pond, and the characters have to avoid more snowballs at a time. Sometimes the large Mr. Blizzard throws a huge snowball. The last character standing is the winner, although more than one can win if they escape all the snowballs within the time limit. A tie occurs if no one escapes all the snowballs.


==Ending==
The minigame ends with winning players doing their victory poses.
Winners perform their victory poses on the frozen pond.
 
[[Snow Go]] of ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' is another minigame where Mr. Blizzards throw snowballs at players.
