Mr. Blizzard's Brigade

Mr. Blizzard's Brigade
Type	4-Player mini-game
Time limit	60 seconds

Mr. Blizzard's Brigade is a 4-Player minigame from Mario Party 4. The minigame takes place on a small frozen pond within a snowy forest.

Introduction

A snowball rolls down the hill and stops at an icy pond with the four players on it. Two smaller snowballs also roll into view, and then three head onto each snowball, forming them into Mr. Blizzards. The players gasp in shock, and the minigame starts.

Gameplay

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.

Ending

The winner(s) perform(s) their victory pose(s) on the frozen pond.

• In Mario Party 6, the 1-vs.-3 minigame Snow Brawl has similar gameplay, but the main difference is that the characters throw snowballs instead of Mr. Blizzards.
• In Mario Party 9, during the minigame Snow Go, Mr. Blizzards also throw snowballs at players.
