The mysterious vortex brought Mr. Frosty to the new world too! He arrived shortly before Kirby and immediately joined the Beast Pack. (The change in wardrobe must have made it an easy choice.) It's tough to be the new guy, but his fellow beasts love working with him.
— Capsule Description • Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Mr. Frosty (mistranslated as Mr. Flosty in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and known as Wild Frosty in Kirby and the Forgotten Land) is a large pinniped-like mid-boss in many Kirby games and is often one of the first mid-bosses to be encountered by Kirby. He made his debut in Kirby's Adventure.

In his debut appearance in Kirby's Adventure (and its remake), inhaling him yields the Freeze Copy Ability, but in subsequent games, he yields the Ice ability. Being a creature of ice, abilities with the fire element do more damage in battle and can defeat him more quickly.

Physical Appearance[]

Mr. Frosty resembles a tuskless humanoid walrus with a light blue muzzle, dark blue or black overalls, an exposed buttocks, blue feet and white fur. He has small fangs in his mouth, though these are only shown in Kirby's Toy Box.[1]

In Kirby Triple Deluxe, Mr. Frosty sports a slightly revised design. His overalls now sport vertical stripes and the large buttons on them are detailed. In addition, he now sports a purple coloration where his blue overalls and cheeks were, as well as pinkish-red feet. These traits would later be carried over to his appearance in the Team Kirby Clash sub-game in Kirby Planet Robobot and its standalone release.

In Kirby Star Allies, Mr. Frosty's design is once again updated. He is now noticeably bottom-heavy, sporting significant bulk below his head. The striped overalls from Kirby Triple Deluxe were replaced by denim overalls with smaller buttons, and the area where his buttocks would be is now covered up by a light blue patch of denim sewed into the overalls. Mr. Frosty's blue coloration and indigo feet return after being replaced in Kirby Triple Deluxe. Mr. Frosty's eyes are slightly smaller in this entry.

Mr. Frosty's appearance is altered once again in Super Kirby Clash. Mr. Frosty is no longer bottom-heavy as he was in Kirby Star Allies, now appearing rounder as in previous games. His blue cheeks have a purple hue added to them as in Kirby Triple Deluxe, although his feet remain indigo in color. Super Kirby Clash retains the denim overalls with rear patch that he had in Kirby Star Allies, but the design is updated to include the larger blue buttons that he had in prior games.

Going by as Wild Frosty in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, his clothing is now much more ragged than previous incarnations, and his stature is also far more imposing. His white fur now has splotches of blue paint around his head, and the end of his paws. His blue muzzle now has ice on it, and icicles hang from it to give the appearance of fangs. His head also has a small plume of white fur on the top, and his eyebrows are seemingly always furrowed, giving the look of a stereotypical primitive caveman. He wears a torn tunic, instead of his signature overalls, that covers his waist and left arm. This also reveals a patch of blue fur on his stomach, part of which hangs over the shred of his tunic.

Games[]

Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[]

Mr. Frosty first appears in the Stage 4 of Vegetable Valley.

Mr. Frosty uses two attacks: charging at Kirby, and preparing and tossing a block of ice at him. In Orange Ocean, there is a room where two Mr. Frostys are fought. In this game, Kirby gets the Freeze ability from Mr. Frosty.

Mr. Frosty appears in the Ice Cream Island Arena, using a green alternate palette and green ice blocks.

Kirby's Pinball Land[]

In this game, Mr. Frosty resides in Poppy Brothers' Land. He stands in the middle of the screen on the bottom stage, with the name 'FROSTY' written below him. He poses no threat to Kirby, but instead helps the hero. Each time Kirby hits him, a letter of his name will light up; once his full name his lit up, Kirby can bound into his arms. As Mr. Frosty swings him around, the player can launch in the direction Mr. Frosty is facing by pressing A. This serves as a helpful way to get onto the middle stage.

Every time Kirby hits him, his overalls fall down, exposing his navel. He quickly pulls them back up after being hit.

Kirby's Dream Land 2[]

Mr. Frosty appears in this game similarly as he had in in Kirby's Adventure, except that when inhaled, Kirby is granted the Ice ability instead of the Freeze ability due to the replacement of Freeze with Ice in this game.

Kirby's Block Ball[]

Mr. Frosty serves as the boss of Mr. Frosty's stage. Mr. Frosty walks up and down in the upper-middle portion of the Target Shooting Area; hitting him four times causes him to flee and a Warp Star to descend from the ceiling. Touching it takes Kirby to the boss.

During the boss fight, Mr. Frosty stands in the center of the area with three platforms around him. If Kirby hits him, the boss grabs him, spins him around, and tosses him a different direction. After a few seconds pass, Mr. Frosty rolls back and forth, shrinking the side paddles if he hits them. When he is rolling, he becomes vulnerable. Like all normal bosses in the game, Mr. Frosty has 12 HP.

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra[]

Mr. Frosty reappears with the same tactics as he had in Kirby's Dream Land 2, with one exception: he gains the ability to grab Kirby, stuff him into his mouth, and spit him out, dealing damage. He still gives Ice when inhaled. In this game, however, Mr. Frosty is more spontaneous in his movements, making him slightly harder to defeat. Mr. Frosty is weak to the Sizzle element, but resists the Blizzard element.

Kirby's Air Ride[]

KKCancelled This section is about an unreleased or cancelled game
Air ride1 Frosty

Mr. Frosty in Kirby's Air Ride

Mr. Frosty was slated to appear in Kirby's Air Ride before the game's cancellation. He does not appear in Kirby Air Ride.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[]

Mr. Frosty is still mostly the same as he was in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. This time however, he will sometimes throw a huge block of ice that can only be inhaled with a Super Inhale. Also, Mr. Frosty retains his swallow-and-spit technique from Kirby Super Star, but instead of flying straight inside an ice block, Kirby will fall to the ground when spat out. Mr. Frosty still gives Ice when inhaled. He is again weak to fire-based attacks.

Kirby: Canvas Curse[]

Mr. Frosty makes a cameo as one of the paintings that can be painted by Paint Roller in the Paint Panic sub-game.

Kirby: Squeak Squad[]

Mr. Frosty's tactics and appearance have not changed since Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.

Kirby Mass Attack[]

Mr. Frosty does not appear in the main game. However, he appears in the sub-game Kirby Quest, in rounds 26 and 38. He is accompanied by two Oohroos and two Hoohoos, respectively. He has the same sprites and attacks as in Kirby Super Star Ultra, with a slight change in color.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[]

Mr. Frosty again appears as a mid-boss in this game. While he uses some of the same old attacks, he has new techniques such as his Ice Sprinkle originating from Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[]

Mr. Frosty makes an appearance in the Team Kirby Clash sub-game, where he acts as the boss of the second quest. He retains his moveset from Kirby: Triple Deluxe.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash[]

Mr. Frosty appears as a boss in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash, retaining his moveset from Kirby: Triple Deluxe. In Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, he is fought as a normal boss in the Grasslands, a Tough category boss in the Ruins, and as a Tougher category boss in the Dunes.

For Super Kirby Clash, in Story Quests, Mr. Frosty is fought as a normal boss in the Dunes, and as a Tougher category boss in the Volcano. In Party Quests, he is only fought as part of Team First Contact and Team Shimmy. He also has a water variant, known as Mr. Floaty.

Kirby Star Allies[]

Mr. Frosty appears as a mid-boss in this game. If a Friend Heart is thrown at a defeated Frosty, he will turn into Chilly as a friend.

Mr. Frosty appears in the game's boss rush mode, The Ultimate Choice, as a part of Mid-Boss All-Stars #1. He appears in six levels of difficulty (Sweet Breeze, Spicy Adventure, Sizzling Threat, Fiery Showdown, Infernal Crisis, Soul Melter and Soul Melter EX, with Twin Frosty appearing in Fiery Showdown, Infernal Crisis and Soul Melter).

In Soul Melter EX, Mr. Frosty will be accompanied by two Floaty the Cell Cores.

Attacks[]

Mr. Frosty has five attacks normally. He can charge forward, which will end in a Face Slide, which produces a star behind him. Instead of making an ice cube, Mr. Frosty can instead make a snowball, which bounces on the ground, making low arcs. In addition to this, he can use two snowballs to create a snowman, which bounces with higher arcs. Mr. Frosty can perform a bellyflop, landing in the middle of the arena, producing a star on each side of him. He can also perform a triple jump, with the third jump ending in a bellyflop, also producing two stars; both bellyflop moves will flatten the player. In-between attacks, he will hop to the opposite corner of the arena. His attack pattern is as follows:

  • Charge
  • Snowball

After performing the initial charge and snowball attacks, the attack pattern follows the below moves, looping upon reaching the end.

  • Charge
  • Bellyflop
  • Snowman
  • Charge
  • Jump
  • Snowman
  • Charge
  • Bellyflop
  • Snowball
  • Charge
  • Jump
  • Snowman
  • Charge
  • Bellyflop
  • Snowman
  • Charge
  • Jump
  • Snowball

After reaching half health, Mr. Frosty gains a few new attacks. In addition to his charge attack, he can now perform a modified version it, in which he will swallow any player he comes in contact with, forcing them to press the shown direction on the control stick to escape, leaving him dazed; this move is otherwise unchanged. He can also throw three or four snowballs in succession, in addition to three snowballs and a snowman. His new attack pattern is as follows, which loops upon reaching the end:

  • Swallow
  • Four snowballs
  • Charge
  • Swallow
  • Three snowballs and snowman
  • Triple jump
  • Swallow
  • Snowball
  • Bellyflop
  • Swallow
  • Three snowballs

  • Bellyflop
  • Swallow
  • Three snowballs
  • Charge
  • Swallow
  • Three snowballs and snowman
  • Triple jump
  • Swallow
  • Snowball
  • Bellyflop

In Far-Flung - Starlight Heroes, a more powerful black and white variant of Mr. Frosty exists, having more health and attacks than the original. His triple jump and bellyflop attacks produce an ice crystal in front of him upon landing. His snowballs travel straight instead of bouncing on the ground, and his snowman is larger. During his charge attack, he will turn around after reaching the end of the arena and then charge back the other way; his swallow version of this is unchanged compared to his normal counterpart. His attack pattern is as follows, which loops upon reaching the end:

  • Triple jump
  • Snowball
  • Charge
  • Bellyflop
  • Four snowballs
  • Swallow
  • Triple jump
  • Snowball
  • Charge
  • Bellyflop
  • Giant snowman
  • Swallow

After reaching half health, Mr. Frosty gains more new attacks. He now performs a triple bellyflop instead of a regular one or the triple jump; the ice crystal appears on the third bellyflop. When performing his charge move, he can now turn around twice instead of once. His new attack pattern is as follows, which loops upon reaching the end:

  • Triple bellyflop
  • Giant snowman
  • Charge
  • Triple bellyflop
  • Giant snowman
  • Swallow
  • Triple bellyflop
  • Four snowballs
  • Charge
  • Triple bellyflop
  • Giant snowman
  • Swallow
  • Triple bellyflop
  • Giant snowman
  • Charge
  • Triple bellyflop
  • Four snowballs
  • Swallow

Kirby and the Forgotten Land[]

Mr. Frosty returns in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, this time under the name of Wild Frosty, and joins up with the Beast Pack. He wears more ragged clothing and usually has a scowling expression.

Attacks[]

During battle, Wild Frost will throw snowballs at the player, or toss them over his shoulder behind him. Additionally, he can charge at the player, attempting to tackle them. He also has the ability to run towards the player with his arms outstretched in an attempt to grab them. If he is successful, Wild Frosty will grab the player, place them in his mouth, chew them, and spit them out, dealing damage with the chew and the collision upon hitting a solid surface once spat out. If unsuccessful, however, he will stop running and pant for air, leaving him vulnerable for a counterattack.

After reaching half health, Wild Frosty begins throwing bigger snowballs that leave behind trails of ice shards while they roll, which can deal damage to the player. These snowballs shrink the longer they roll. Furthermore, Wild Frosty can also jump in the air and attempt to belly-flop on the player, dealing massive damage if it connects.

A stronger version of Wild Frosty exists later in the game that is faster and has more HP. He can also create snowmen and hurl them at the player. When attempting to tackle the player, he can turn around once and tackle, instead of running in a straight line. This variant of Wild Frosty does not need to be at half health to perform a belly-flop, which has also received an upgrade in the form of an an ice shard that grows in size a few seconds after it appears.

After reaching half health in this stronger variant, he will start throwing huge snowballs around twice his size that leave ice shards behind as they roll decreasing in size the longer they roll. If a big snowball collides with a wall it will split them into three smaller snowballs which still leave behind ice shards as they roll around which can damage the player. Wild Frosty will also increase the amount of jumps he does to perform a belly-flop to three upon reaching half health.

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya![]

Mr

Mr. Frosty in the anime

Mr. Frosty also has a small cameo appearance in the anime episode Cowardly Creature.

When Phan Phan escapes, N.M.E. Sales Guy turns to Dedede to help return him. Dedede is angry at him, and tells him that he should be ashamed for letting him escape. However, N.M.E. Sales Guy says that he was not in his care at the time. He goes on to explain that he was at the "Monster Training School." Mr. Frosty is one of the few monsters to be shown in the training school. He, along with Yaban, is a member of the Flower Class, which is the weakest of the whole school, which is ironic seeing that he's the only mid-boss in the whole school (excluding Jukid, who only appears in only two games, who is also only one level above Mr. Frosty). He is shown riding precariously on top of a unicycle.

It is not known what becomes of him after Nightmare is destroyed, neither is it known if he even finishes training school and becomes a full-fledged monster by the end of the series.
