Snow Bros.

Snow Bros.

The gameplay of Snow Bros is similar to that of Bubble Bobble from 1986. The game supports up to two players, with each player taking on the role of one of two snowmen, Nick and Tom. Each player can throw snow at the opponents. The player must throw snow at each opponent until they are completely covered, at which point they become a snowball. An opponent who is partially covered with snow cannot move until he shakes it off. Once an enemy has been turned into a snowball, the player can roll it. The snowball will bounce off walls until it finally shatters on a wall. Any enemies that the snowball rolls at will be knocked out, and other standing snowballs will start rolling when the rolling snowball touches them. If the player manages to knock out all the enemies by kicking a snowball (this one snowball can be used to make others bounce around as well and increase the chance of pulling off this trick), money will fall from the sky in the form of large green bills. These disappear in no time, but are worth 10,000 points each, which the player can get as a bonus. In every tenth level there is a boss. Each boss can withstand several blows. In the Sega Genesis version, after the 50th level you play as one of the Snow Castle Princesses. When a player knocks down an enemy, the enemy can drop a potion bottle. The color of the potion tells the player which special power-up he or she will receive.
