Snowboys (known as snowmen prior to New Leaf) are snowfolk in the Animal Crossing series. They can be built by the player by rolling two snowballs together. If built perfectly, they will give the player unique winter-themed items.
Characteristics
Appearance
Snowboys are snowfolk, each one made of two snowballs, like their families. They have red noses almost shaped like triangles, big black circle dots for eyes, and small black circle dots for mouths.
Personality
Snowboys are always grateful to anyone who builds them, a trait they share with their families.
Appearances
In Animal Crossing
In Animal Crossing, snowmen can be built from December 25 to February 17, and, if built perfectly, will mail the player an item from the Snowman Series the following day. Additionally, a Snowman furniture item can be obtained from Tortimer on Snow Day. If a snowman is walked into for around two seconds, it will fall apart. Otherwise, snowmen will stay where they are for several days until they melt.
In Wild World and City Folk
Snowmen appear in Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk and act similar to their appearance in Animal Crossing, mailing the player items from the Snowman Series if built perfectly. They can be built from December 10 to December 25. Additionally, the Snowman furniture item returns, though it is now obtained from the snowman himself. Unlike in Animal Crossing, snowmen cannot be destroyed by running into them.
In New Leaf
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, snowmen are now known as Snowboys, and alongside them are three new snowpeople: Snowmam, Snowman, and Snowtyke. Snowboys can be built from December 11 to February 25, and, like in previous games, Snowboys will mail the player an item from the Snowman Series if built perfectly. An imperfectly built Snowboy will comment that the player is so close to perfection, while a poorly built one will poke fun at the player for building him that way. A Snowboy has the same voice as a lazy villager.
Snowboys, as well as all other snowpeople, do not appear in dreams and cannot be called with a Megaphone.
In New Horizons
Snowboys return in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and are mostly identical to their previous appearances. When perfectly built, they give the player DIY recipes for items in the Frozen Series and a Large Snowflake, or just a Large Snowflake if all the DIY recipes have been obtained. However, the first Snowboy that the player builds will give out a DIY recipe whether he is perfectly made or not. The player can also collect one Large Snowflake from each perfect Snowboy per day. Snowboys last for four days before completely melting.
Other appearances
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
Snowboy, alongside Snowman, Snowmam, and Snowtyke from Animal Crossing: New Leaf, appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

| Description | NTSC-U: When winter finally settles in and snow covers the ground, you get the chance to build a new pal. If you keep rolling those snowballs and putting them together, eventually you'll have one of four friends: Snowman, Snowmam, Snowboy, or Snowtyke. Each one has a wintery surprise! PAL: When it snows, keep an eye out for a pair of snowballs on the ground. Roll them and roll them and roll them, and then put them together to make...a snowperson! It could be a Snowman, a Snowmam, a Snowboy or a Snowtyke. Each brings their own unique variety of wintery wonder! | |
