| “ | Snow day! Transform into a giant snowball and bowl down foes! Roll them up and crash into a wall for an ice-cold strike! | ” | — Pause Menu description |
Snow Bowl is a Super Ability available in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, obtained by defeating a Super Chilly. By gaining the ability, Kirby gains a hat resembling a soft ice cream cone with a large crystal pattern and a star on the front.
Upon use, Kirby transforms into a large snowball, which can roll around and jump. By giving the Wiimote a shake, 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. Once the snowball hits a wall or runs out of steam, or the unknown reader presses 1, it bursts, sending the previously-defeated enemies scattering and freezing any others that happen to be nearby.

Trivia
- An almost identical ability exists in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, known colloquially as Ice-Ice. That ability is a Power Combo of two Ice abilities that similarly turned Kirby into a snowball and rolled him across the stage, catching enemies, then blowing up with them.
