Snowman's Land is the tenth course of Super Mario 64. The entrance is an apparently blank wall on the left side of the mirror room on the second floor, but can be jumped into like a regular painting (similar to Shifting Sand Land). The wall's reflection in the mirror has the Cool, Cool Mountain painting on it to clue players in.
Course Versions
There are no version differences.
Coins
The 127 coins naturally collectible in this course are split up, with 89 coins outside and 38 coins inside the igloo. The max coin count for this course can be raised infinitely using money bag duplication.
This course also has a near "impossible" coin underneath the wooden walkway on the snowman. This coin has a fairly simple method of acquisition though, since shooting from the cannon while aiming at the lower portion of the walkway allows Mario to grab the coin. Without this coin, there are only 126 "natural" coins in the course.
| Location | Count |
|---|---|
| 2 coins to left of start | 2 |
| 8 coins on slope which leads from the water to the igloo | 8 |
| 2 coins on on wooden plank before first tree on the snowman | 2 |
| 3 coins by penguin and snowman's face | 3 |
| 1 coin hidden inside the first wooden plank on snowman | 1 |

| (Inside the Igloo) 3 coins outside of ice, near the 20 coins inside the ice | 3 |
| (Inside the Igloo) 3 coins in ! block near bob-omb buddy | 3 |
| 14 Spindrifts | 42 |
| 4 Mr. Blizzards | 12 |
| 3 Goombas | 3 |
| 2 Money Bags | 10 |
| 1 Fly Guy | 2 |
| 8 Red Coins | 16 |
| Total | 127 |
A Press Counts
In the A Button Challenge, all seven stars can be collected without A presses. The vanish cap is required for Into the Igloo.

Entering Snowman's Land (0x)
The painting disguised as a wall can be entered by dive-recovering into it.
Snowman's Big Head (0x)

Pannenkoek exploits the Fly Guy's behavior, luring it to the top of the mountain. To do this, Mario first lures it to a certain location from a certain angle. Then, he gets shell hyperspeed, which is necessary to encompass the three zones necessary for proper manipulation, as the geometry of the course is mostly flat. After the manipulation, Mario ascends the snowman, reactivates Fly Guy, and bounces on it to reach the platform above, grabbing the star.
Chill with the Bully (0x)

Other Challenges
In the Coinless Challenge, excluding coin missions, all stars can be collected. The same stars can be collected in the CCC Challenge, where Into the Igloo requires a low ceiling BLJ to clip into the wall.
In the Capless/Cannonless Challenge, all seven stars can be collected.
In the No Buttons Allowed Challenge, every star except for Into the Igloo can be collected. They use Moneybag duplication and Shell Hyperspeed to gain height and distance.
In the No Joystick Allowed Challenge, all seven stars can be collected.
In the Pacifist Challenge, every star except for Chill with the Bully can be collected.
In the B Button Challenge, the entire course is possible in 0 B presses.
In the Z Button Challenge, the entire course is possible in 0 Z presses. Into the Igloo requires clipping into the back of the igloo to avoid crawling inside.
In the UBER Challenge, Snowman's Big Head, In the Deep Freeze, Whirl from the Freezing Pond, and Into the Igloo can be collected. The latter requires Hyperspeed Wall Kicking to clip through the walls.
There is an unsolved challenge in this course, to reach a Parallel Universe in the igloo.
