Snow Bowl is a Super Ability introduced in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It is obtained by inhaling a Super Chilly.
Games[]
Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[]
Snow Bowl is the Super Ability version of Ice. Functionally, it is reminiscent of the Ice Ice Power Combo from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, allowing Kirby to move over lava and absorb enemies into the enlarging snowball.
During the Magolor EX fight, after his health is reduced to one, he creates a Magic Barrier that requires Super Abilities to break. One of the enemies he summons after this is a Super Chilly for Kirby to inhale and get Snow Bowl from. Kirby uses Snow Bowl to destroy the first two pieces of the Magic Barrier, after which Magolor EX dispels the ability.

Trivia[]
- Snow Bowl is the only Super Ability that Magolor Soul does not replicate. His Grand Hammer attack creates ice on the floor and causes giant icicles to fall from the top of the screen, which may be intended as a representation of Snow Bowl.
- In Kirby Battle Royale, one of Ice's alternative headgear resembles Snow Bowl's hat.
