Jr., followed by an overseas release by Capcom in 1992 as Snow Brothers (although the in-game title is the same as the Japanese version).
The Game Boy version was released in Japan by Naxat Soft on as Snow Bros. The final power up inflates your character into a balloon, which makes you invincible and able to move throughout the stage quickly- any contact with enemies kills them.Įvery 10 stages ends in a boss encounter. Each one you kill results in you earing the corresponding letter- getting all of them results in a 1-UP. Green potions engage a bonus stage that fills the screen with new enemies, each representing a letter of the word "BONUS". Red potions increase the speed of your character Blue potions increase the strength of your snow (meaning you can make enemies into snowballs faster), and Yellow increases your range. There are several power ups (resembling potions) available to the player, which spawn at random from a dead enemy. Time is limited in each screen- taking too long results in an invincible monster appearing to chase and kill you (another similarity to Bubble Bobble). You can move on to the next stage/screen after killing all enemies. If you manage to do a 100% chain reaction, large tickets appear from the top of the screen, worth 10000 points each. When enemies are destroyed, they leave behind a food item (often sushi or ice cream) worth points upon collecting. The best way to rack up points is to create a chain reaction that kills every enemy on screen with a single kick of a snowball. This creates the ability to setup chain reactions. Other snowballs can be launched when a moving snowball hits it. The snowball (and the enemy within it) is destroyed upon hitting the bottom walls of the screen. Kicking the snowball causes it to ricochet around the stage, taking out any foes in its path. If a snowball is left idle for too long, the enemy will break free. In this game, the enemies are trapped by shooting snow at them: when enough snow has been thrown at an enemy, they become a snowball that can be pushed around and/or kicked. Much like Bubble Bobble, Snow Bros takes place on single screens where the objective is to "trap" enemies and then destroy them via chain reactions. It also received an unlicensed arcade sequel in 2002 by Syrmex as Snow Brothers 3: Magical Adventure. The game later received a sequel in 1994, titled Snow Bros.

Along the way, they must clear each floor of monsters by throwing enough snow at them to "trap" them as snowballs, which players can then push as rolling projectiles they can ride (taking out enemies along the way). has players controlling the titular snowmen twins Nick and Tom as they navigate up a 50-story tower to rescue princesses Puripuri and Puchipuchi (Teri and Tina in some versions) from captivity.
