    The whole idea of this game is to knock all the enemies down with a single shot so you can get extra lifes and spell the word SNOW..😄

    In the late 90s they used to have the Snow Bros arcade machine at the airport, i would always play it when waiting for our flight. They really should bring back arcade machines to airports!

    There's a shortcut/easter egg on the 12th floor of this game... You go towards the lower left side, climb in between the "=" shaped region and shoot right. It will take you to a lottery, where depending on your score, you will skip as many floors. Try it out!

    Great game. I used to finish it in the arcade version with a single coin back in the day. It's quite essential to maintain(do not die) the red(speed) and blue(more dmg) potions in the higher levels. When they're blinking they're untouchable by the monsters and can't die(ex. when each level starts or whenever they get out of a moving snowball). In most levels the trick it's to jump to the higher platforms right at the beginning while they're blinking(untouchable) and throw snowballs into the monsters on the lower platforms but red potion is essential to do this. You can actually kill the sumo wrestler, but you need to form a snowball and jump into it to reach the higher platforms. Boss levels have sweet spots where you can stay still most of the time just shooting and kicking snowballs, when you learn where to stay it's quite easy.

    Ok, so the lives work like this: you start with 3. If you lose all 3, you wait for the little face at the top to start flashing. Hit the "A" button and you get 3 more. You can do this 4 times and then you are done. This was one of my favorite games.

  • @cheaddos
    @cheaddos 6 років тому +50

    There is a little chime sound when you hit the boss if you listen. There isn't any visual feedback though. Those different colored potions are power ups. One of them makes you move faster, the other makes your snowballs bigger making you snow monsters faster and the other makes you shoot farther. IIRC if you hit all the monsters with one big snowball, you need to go to the top or adjust it so that you kill all the monsters with one snowball roll, then there is a bonus or buff given to you.

      And it's not hard to figure it all... Sometimes I dont know its like they need instruction because they cant figure it all and they start complaining like they didnt figure it all that the number that's flash and they die with their last Life is the number of continue... well whatever, it's not like they are going to play that game again even though it's one of the best NES game!

      Part of the charm with Cinemassacre is that all gamers can relate extremely well to pretty much everything that James and Mike say and do.

    i seriously cant believe that they couldnt figure out how they do have continues. i mean, they seemed to be perplexed after the fact that they got 2 extra lives after losing life 0. Isn't that the definition of a continue? How is it that hard to understand? it's exactly like TMNT 4 or many many other games that they love
    Anyways, snowbros is a great game on the arcades, play it on Mame with a friend, it's a lot of fun

    @nemesis3587 6 років тому +2

    That jars are good thing. Upgrades your weapon, speed or range and that big head power up makes you invincible. There are secrets in the game like slot machine, depends on your luck gives you extra life, skip level or nothing. Game has 50 levels, 5 bosses. Especially after second boss it gets really difficult. You can jump over snowball for reaching higher parts, like this, there are little puzzles for how to reach enemies. It's a really good arcade port even better than Genesis port in my opinion. You have limited continues, should avoid wasting lifes on early levels for beating the game. Ideal strategy is climb top, hit enemies with snowball. Upgrades only drop if you hit enemy with snowball.

The bottles (we called them "Jam") acutally give you powers like bigger shot in the video, or faster running. Our favourite was the one that increase range of your projectiles.

    Lots of hours put in this game back in the 90's. I loved the arcade version, but then I bought the NES version. I remember I felt a little disappointed by the graphics in the NES version, but as soon as I started playing I forgot about that. It's a very playable version of the arcade classic. Later on, in the 2000's I went back to the arcade version but this time in the MAME (an arcade emulator for PC). Snow Bros is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing.

    You can save characters by smashing balls on them - you are undestructible while riding in the ball.
