Snowball Slalom
Snowball Slalom is one of Wario's minigames in Super Mario 64 DS and an Action minigame in New Super Mario Bros.
Gameplay
In this minigame, the player must use the stylus to guide the Headless Snowman to the finish line as fast as they can within 20 seconds. However, there are rocks and snowmen in the game, and hitting them causes the snowball to decrease in size and slow down. Touching the Headless Snowman's head also slows him down.
In New Super Mario Bros., the minigame appears as a one-to-four-player minigame. The single-player mode plays mostly the same way, although both rocks and penguins appear, similar to in Giant Snowball Slalom. In multiplayer, the minigame turns into a race between all players; the first player to reach the finish line is declared the winner.
This minigame takes place in Cool, Cool Mountain and has the same background music.
