====''Super Mario Maker 2''====

Snowmen also appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', where ones resembling [[Mario]] and [[Peach]] can be seen in the background of snow-themed levels. As of the 3.0 update for the game, they also appear in Super Worlds. When a course icon is tapped on and held, some options appear which the player can use to customize how that course icon looks (give it a pool of water, replace it with a [[Galoomba]], etc.). If the player selects the option to put snow around it, a snowman resembling Mario also appears within the snow. When that course is cleared, the snowman's hat and scarf turn green, causing it to resemble [[Luigi]] instead.

===''Mario Kart'' series===

===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===

In ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', groups of '''Snow Men'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' internal filename (<tt>ObjectData/SnowMan.arc</tt>)</ref> decorated with bananas, a scarf, and blue hat appear in the cold climate levels, such as [[Ice Warren]] and [[Aurora Glacier]]. Upon noticing [[Donkey Kong]], the Snow Men shift their heads into his direction and attempt to block his path. Snow Men often remain in one position and stare at Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong can easily defeat a Snow Man by sliding into it or by using his [[Sound Wave Attack]]. Upon defeating one, Donkey Kong is rewarded with a [[banana]].

===''Super Princess Peach''===

===''Super Mario-kun''===

A snowman appears in volume 36 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. In the beginning of the chapter, [[Baby Luigi]] finds a broken snowman and rebuilds it. It then saves the Mario Bros. by stopping a Shroob bomb from exploding, but the captain shoots a laser at the snowman, leaving Baby Luigi crying. After Baby Luigi freezes the Shroobs, [[Baby Mario]] rebuilds him, ending the chapter.
