Snow Bowl is a Super Ability available in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, 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.

Moveset[edit]

Upon use, Kirby transforms into a large snowball, which can roll around and jump.

By giving the Wii Remote 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 player presses 1, it bursts, sending the previously-defeated enemies scattering and freezing any others that happen to be nearby.

Trivia[edit]

  • Snow Bowl and Monster Flame are the only Super Abilities that don't have the normal counterpart's name in them.
  • Snow Bowl and Ultra Sword are the only Super Abilities whose names don't have any change in the English version.
  • Snow Bowl is the only Super Ability not used by Magolor during his boss fight. Magolor Soul does add the ice element to his Grand Hammer attack, however.
  • The Snow Bowl Hat appears as purchasable Headgear for Ice Kirby in Kirby Battle Royale.
  • In the Brazilian Portuguese version of Kirby's Dream Buffet, Snow Bowl is called "Bola de neve" (Snowball). However, it was renamed "Sorvete" (Ice Cream) in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. Interestingly, the name of the Snow Bowl attack on the pause menu was kept as "Bola de neve".
