Snowman's Big Head

Snowman's Big Head is the first mission of Snowman's Land in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS.
==Layout==
Snowman's Big Head retains the general layout of Snowman's Land.
==Objective==
Mario (or Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario in the remake) has to climb to the top of the giant snowman-shaped mountain in the center. To get there, Mario has to make his way around the mountain, crossing the freezing pond and avoid being knocked into it by the sliding slopes. Once on the mountain and at the ice bridge, Mario has to wait for the penguin to get close enough for him to safely stand next to it on the opposite side in which the snowman blows, because when Mario steps on the ice bridge, the snowman starts blowing air, which knocks Mario back down to the start and causes him to lose his cap. The penguin's movements are unpredictable, as it can alternate between moving fast, slowly, and even backward, so Mario has to pay attention to its movements in order to safely get across the bridge. Alternatively, Mario can jump on the penguin's head. Once Mario has crossed the ice bridge, he can go to the top of the mountain and collect the Power Star. It is possible to collect the Power Star using the cannon at the start.
In Super Mario 64 DS, the other characters each have their own method of getting across: Luigi can to backward-somersault over the ice bridge; Yoshi can flutter-kick over it; and Wario can use his metal ability and launch from the cannon to walk through the wind, if he is quick enough. Alternatively, Hoot can also be used to collect the Star if a different mission is completed first and subsequently selected from the course select menu.
