Snow Pokeys are enemies that debut in Super Mario 3D World. They are snowman-like Pokeys with icicle-like spikes on their body, a red pail acting as a hat, and a carrot for a nose.
In Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Snow Pokeys appear in Snowball Park and Peepa's Fog Bog, and three of them serve as the second wave of enemies in Mystery House Brawl. When a Snow Pokey catches sight of the player, it will begin to move towards them. A Snow Pokey can be defeated by hitting its head with a projectile or swiping it with the Tanooki Suit. The segments of the Snow Pokey will turn into snowballs, which can be carried and thrown. If a Snow Pokey is hit with fireballs, snowballs will not appear. Furthermore, a Snow Pokey's segments can be knocked out by tapping them with the Wii U GamePad. If a Snow Pokey's head is tapped when all other segments have been knocked out, it will be defeated. If its head is tapped any time before this, its pail hat will fall off.
Cat Snow Pokeys[1] appear in the Bowser's Fury campaign in Crisp Climb Castle, acting the same way as they do in Super Mario 3D World.
Snow Pokeys reappear in Super Mario Maker 2, taking the role of regular Pokeys in snow-themed levels, except they can be jumped on, which reduces them to a single snowball. In addition to retaining their original appearance in the Super Mario 3D World style, as well as in the New Super Mario Bros. U style, they receive new designs in the other three styles. In the Super Mario Bros. style, they wear yellow hard hats instead of the red pail; in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style, they wear red knit caps; and in the Super Mario World style, they wear red bobble caps.
A hat designed after a Snow Pokey's head, appropriately named the Snow Pokey Hat, can be unlocked as an outfit for the player's Maker Mii by reaching a high score of 500 courses in Endless Challenge (Normal).
Snow Pokeys appear in Mario Golf: Super Rush where they act as obstacles in Blustery Basin and Bowser Highlands during the Golf Adventure mode.
In Mario Kart World, Snow Pokeys appear on the route between Boo Cinema and Starview Peak. They stand in place and oscillate.[2] When defeated, their segments stay on the track for a short time.
Although not directly analogous to Snow Pokeys, Snomaul, a snowy variant of Pokey, appears in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and can be summoned as an Echo. Unlike Snow Pokeys, it can regrow lost snowballs.
