Full episode summary
The episode starts with Tiff, Tuff, Kirby, and the Cappy kids relaxing by the shore, but while they were doing so, Dedede is complaining about the heat, so he orders a demon beast to cool Cappy Town. He is sent Ice Dragon, but so far, he's very small, which Escargoon says that it won't do anything at all, until Ice Dragon froze his head with its ice breath. Dedede is impressed, so he sends it outside, which makes Cappy Town snow, which they never knew about, until Tiff found it in s book.



The next morning, everyone is playing in the snow, riding snowboards, etc. Tiff tries to find why it is snowing in a southern country. Kirby rolls down a slide and lands in a snow pile. Tiff finds him, and a snowman named Chilly. Kirby quickly becomes friends with Chilly and plays with him, but each time, it looks like Chilly tries to kill Kirby, but each attempt is futile, but KIrby doesn't seem to notice.



He takes Chilly to his home for some rest, but when Kirby leaves the house, so does Chilly. Kirby can't find Chilly, so he, Tiff, and Tuff look for him, only to discover that Chilly had been ordered to kill Kirby by Dedede, and they also find that Ice Dragon had created the cold weather. Also because of the cold weather, Chilly was crated. They've been spotted, and Ice Dragon attacks. Kirby inhales his ice breath, but winds up freezing himself. Ice Dragon later spits out snow crystals, but Kirby inhales them and becomes Ice Kirby. He tries freezing the giant reptile, but his body is resistant to the cold.

Chilly takes Dedede's snowmobile and throws Kirby inside Ice Dragon, allowing him to freeze it from the inside. It shatters and Cappy Town stops snowing, but because it does, Chilly starts to melt. Kirby takes his hat and scarf and runs to a nearby ice floe. Kirby puts him there and says goodbye to him. Tiff and Tuff take Kirby back from the ice floe, and it melts, so Chilly is dead. Tiff says that Chilly can revive in a northern country, and the episode ends with everyone saying their goodbyes to Chilly.
