Glacial Meltdown is a battle mini-game in Mario Party 8. All of the players are on a large chunk of ice, attempting to knock all the other players off. There is also a Lakitu floating around who will drop Buzzy Beetles; though these Buzzy Beetles hurt players, they can prove themselves helpful in that jumping on them results in them retreating into their shell, which nearby players can kick into opponents. Whoever is the last one the ice wins.

Trivia

• Although Lakitus throw Spinies in most games, they (as aforementioned) strangely toss Buzzy Beetles in this mini-game, a feat they perform nowhere else. Though this was likely done by the developers simply to create a stompable enemy for the mini-game, it is even stranger to note that Spinies seem to have no relation to Buzzy Beetles outside of the two enemies' similar appearance; Buzzy Beetles are a type of beetle while Spinies are more related to Koopas.
