''[[Snow Bros. - Nick & Tom]]'' is a 1990 [[Arcade Game]] by [[Toaplan]], starring the eponymous guys made of snow, who trap enemies in big snowball that are then used to crush other wandering enemies with. The game is divided into 5 stages made of 10 floors each, with a boss every 10th floor which can be damaged either by pelting it with snow (but it takes a long time) or by bashing it with the snowballs made with its minions.
 
There's nothing more to be said, it is a simple but addictive game that received a few ports, a couple of obscure sequels and that gets often compared to [[Bubble Bobble]], even if it's not really the case.

=== The game and its sequels provide examples of: ===
 
* [[Big Red Devil]]: Well, more like Small Red Devil (for the [[Mooks]]) and Big Green Devil (for the bosses).
* [[Boss Arena Urgency]]: The final boss of the original arcade is a very interesting example. There are two giant stone heads on each side of the screen, a small platform surrounded by flames in the middle and a descending ceiling full of [[Spikes of Doom|spikes]] right above that. The heads continuously blow bubbles which can have enemies or power-ups inside, and these pop if they touch the spikes. The player has very little space to move, and the more the ceiling goes down, the faster the enemies can get him... of course, this also means that he can throw many more snowballs against the heads, but he is forced to think and act much more frantically.
