Cool, Cool Mountain - Snowman's Lost His Head

N64
Just past the cabing on a wooden platform near a Spindrift is a body of a snowman. It says "I need a good head on my shoulders. Do you know of anybody in need of a good body? Please! I'll follow you if you do!" After talking to us, the body will immediately start rolling down the mountain, snowballing as it goes. We have to slide in front of it so we can guide it to the head at the end of the mountain slide. We go up to the head who says "Ooooo Nooooo! Talk about out-of-body experiences -- my body has melted away!Have you run into any head hunters lately?? I could sure use a new body! Brrr! My face might freeze like this!"
His face isn't very expressive, but it still seems sad. Soon after, the body rolled down the mountain and missed the head. We crossed the snowman bridge, taking three hits, and warped back to the top of the mountain where the body regenerated. I missed again, but got it on my third try. I slid toward the head when I got off the mountain slide. The body rolled under the head and propped it up. We heard a chime and the head said "Perfect! What a great new body! Here -- this is a present for you. It's sure to warm you up." The head's expression doesn't change much.
The Star appears out of the head and lands nearby.

We go up to the body, in the same location as in the N64 version. It gives the same speech and starts rolling. We miss the first time because we kept running into the body and fell behind. The head gives the same speech as well, but has a more distinct frown. We take three hits from the snowmen and warp to the top. We take some fall damage and start the body rolling again. We slid off the mountain.
Take 2- We accidently enter the cabin and get three 1-ups from the slide. We warp back to the top. We slid right into the snowman head's stand and waited for the body. This time was successful and it ran into the head and propped it up. The chime sounds and the snowman smiles. It gives the same speech and the Star appears.
