Name: Mr. Frosty
Debut: Kirby’s Adventure
Happy Funny Walrus Friday! Here is this week’s Funny Walrus, my personal favorite of all the Funny Walruses we have covered and will ever cover here on funnywalrusesposting.tumblr.com! Mr. Frosty is an ultimate classic funny walrus, one dear to me for most of my life now, and he does it all with a complete lack of tusks. This is just a testament to his potency!
Mr. Frosty has been a mid-boss since nearly the very beginning, and of course he always brings with him frosty abilities! If a Kirby game has mid-bosses, Mr. Frosty is nearly ALWAYS there! And if Mr. Frosty is there, he WILL flaunt his buttocks.
Mr. Frosty’s big blue butt is an integral aspect of his character! He is evidently SO proud of it! In later appearances, this blue section would be depicted as a patch sewn onto his pants, but in earlier ones, it’s unclear if that was the case, or if both buttocks are always just hanging out. They sure are shiny!
He shows off his considerable rear shelf when readying an ice cube to throw, so it seems like he’s not INTENTIONALLY showing off his rear, right? Just leaning over and they happen to be there?
Well, in his first 3D appearance, Mr. Frosty outright slaps that thing any chance he get! No accident here! He’s a cheeky guy and there’s no denying it any longer!
Ok, I’m done talking about this pinniped posterior now. Sorry. There’s just so much material. Look at this hat from Battle Royale! Now Kirby can dress as the funny man himself! Shall we get another angle?
Ok NOW I’m done I swear!!!
Very sadly, we have never been able to play as Mr. Frosty... this early image from the cancelled Kirby’s Air Ride may indicate he could have been playable there, but we may never know for sure! But then...
Kirby Star Allies, the game where nearly any ability-yielding enemy can be befriended and playable, including mid-bosses, depicting Mr. Frosty as 100% friendable! Could it be...?
It can’t be. That’s not him. I love Chilly! I love him a lot! But we have been able to play as him before, and he is not Mr. Frosty. Mr. Frosty is the ONLY mid-boss in the game who is not playable, and remains unplayable to this very day. But, at least we got the next best thing...
Behold! An extremely wonderful image! In Forgotten Land, Mr. Frosty joins the Beast Pack, becoming Wild Frosty! Nothing seems to change about his personality, since he acts the same and is said to still be jolly and beloved by all is coworkers. But look at his new ice tusks! He’s So Cool. And look in the bottom left! The new Frosty Ice ability is basically a Mr. Frosty ability! A very cute knitted hat in his likeness, and the ability to create absolutely precious snowruses! The description even states that Mr. Frosty must be so proud of these snowruses, so I guess using this ability makes you like his apprentice! I love to put the snowruses in funny situations.
Name: Mr. Flosty
Debut: Kirby and the Amazing Mirror
Sadly, Amazing Mirror had a glaring lack of Frosty, but at least they made up for it with something almost as good- Mr. Flosty! Obviously, this is Mr. Frosty’s Mirror World counterpart, who is all about dental hygiene!
Name: Mr. Floaty
Debut: Super Kirby Clash
Wouldn’t you know it, Mr. Frosty is not the only funny walrus around! (not that there are unfunny walruses) Mr. Floaty is here to have some summer fun! Please direct him to the nearest pool! He is really just a water variant of Mr. Frosty, but he IS a distinct character, and I love him!
While we never get much insight into Mr. Frosty’s actual character, something always important to note with Kirby characters is the distinction of gameplay and story, mainly in regard to the roles of enemy characters. He may be a mid-boss, but I really don’t think Mr. Frosty is a Bad Guy. From the description of Wild Frosty, he in fact seems to be very friendly and nice! That’s exactly how he should be. Ideally, though, I think he should also be an ice cream vendor. That would suit him perfectly. I think he would love nothing better than scooping up smiles!
Finally, Mr. Frosty is real now! Thank goodness. And yes, yes, you don’t need to ask!
It is accounted for!

Mr. Frosty!
What is there to say about Mr. Frosty... well he's a big silly walrus who appears most of the time as a Mid-Boss, and has represented two different, albeit similar, Copy Abilities across his appearances. In his debut, as well as it's remake, he gave the Freeze ability, but in all other appearances, he gives the Ice ability. Mr. Frosty has some pretty funny animations and attacks throughout his appearances. He'll run across the screen and try to grab you, swallowing you if he does before spitting you out as an ice cube. Ice cubes are a pretty big part of his moveset, actually. When he bends over to gather them, he also reveals a... particularly notable aspect of his outfit. Which is to say his Ass. Awesome. Mr. Frosty is one of the most reoccurring Mid-Bosses in the series, I believe only beaten out by Bonkers. He even appears in Star Allies, as the only Mid-Boss to not also be a playable helper. If you try to throw a Friend Heart at him, he just transforms into a Chilly helper, which raises some questions. In his most recent appearance in Forgotten Land, he was a little more... Wild than usual... but we'll get there some day. Surely. :).

Amazing Mirror is the only mainline Kirby game I've never beaten.
I've beaten the main stories of literally all the others.
But not Amazing Mirror.
Gonna admit I'm someone that easily gets lost in its layout. It would be very hard for me to beat it without being heavily reliant on a guide.
I don't at all mean to insult the game, by the way. I just wish I could more easily find my way throughout the layout without inadvertently going around in circles.
I'll try to beat it some day if I can. Maybe during this year because the game came out in 2004, so it'll be 20 years old in below a month.
But yeah.
Just wanted to point out the random fact that as of now, I've beaten the main story of every mainline Kirby game except Amazing Mirror.
Welp.

"Tame the wild Ice Beast who stalks the moonlit lake!" - Team Kirby Clash (Kirby: Planet Robobot)
As far as mini-games, or in this case subgames go, my favorite has always been Team Kirby Clash! I loved this subgame as a kid, and so I'm honestly really happy this one went on to get a larger version. I remember maining beam mage as a kid, which is why Pink Kirby is that role, but I use sword hero more now. I picked Mr. Frosty for this one because his stage is really pretty, and as a classic mid-boss I thought he deserved some recognition.
