Mr. Blizzard
Mr. Blizzards are living Snowmen in the Mario series that hop up and down and throw snowballs.
History
Super Mario 64
In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, they are found in Cool, Cool Mountain and Snowman's Land. They can be defeated by running around them, just like Mr. I. In the remake, Wario can defeat them with one punch and Yoshi can melt them with fire breath while under the Power Flower's effects.
In Super Mario 64 DS, as with many of the enemies, their look was updated, though their attack pattern remained unchanged. They now have a zigzag mouth, wear a blue bucket and have an yellow mitten instead of a yellow one with a single pink stripe. Their faces resemble those of Freezies. They also die by spinning until they shrink (similar to Mr. Is), instead of falling on their side and shrinking.
Mario Pinball Land
In Mario Pinball Land, they appeared as one of the many residents of Frosty Frontier. This time, they don't hurl snowballs and unlike many other enemies in the game, they can't be defeated simply colliding with Mario.
