'''Snowman Blocks''' are special types of blocks that appear in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' and ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. In ''Wario Land 4'', they appear as blue blocks with a light blue border and a picture of a snowball imprinted on them. These blocks are impenetrable; not even a bomb can break it. The only way to destroy a Snowman Block is by having [[Wario]] turn into [[Snowman Wario]] and roll down a slope to become a giant, uncontrollable snowball, which can then plow through the Snowman Blocks.  


In ''Wario Land 3'', they are purple and have a picture of a snowman imprinted on them. The dark purple Snowman Blocks can only be broken if Snowman Wario's snowball is as big as it gets.
