Changes: Snow Bowl

Revision as of 00:19, 22 August 2020

“	Snow day! Transform into a giant snowball and bowl down foes! Roll them up and crash into a wall for an ice-cold strike!”
	— Snow Bowl's Flavor Text • Kirby's Return to Dream Land

Snow Bowl is a Super Ability that appears in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, obtained by inhaling a Super Chilly. This ability is an upgraded version of Ice. Functionally, Snow Bowl is reminiscent of the Rolling Snowball (Ice + Ice) Mix ability from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, allowing Kirby to move over lava and absorb enemies into the enlarging snowball.

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.
