Game appearances[edit]
Kirby's Return to Dream Land /Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]
Kirby can obtain the Snow Bowl ability inKirby's Return to Dream Land andKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe by inhaling Super Chilly in certain stages. Upon use, Kirby transforms into a large snowball, which can roll around and jump. By shaking the controller (or pressing the attack button in the remake), the snowball gains a burst of speed and careens across the stage, instantly defeating any enemy in the way and destroying star-marked terrain and objects. While Kirby is in snowball form, white stars and snowflakes appear across the screen, though this effect is purely visual. Once the snowball hits a wall or runs out of steam, or the player presses the attack button, it bursts, sending the previously-defeated enemies scattering and freezing any others that happen to be nearby.
