— Description • Nintendo Power (Volume #134)
Ice Bomb (also called Explosive Snowman[1] or Exploding Snowman[2]) is a Power Combo used in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards made by the combination of the Ice and BombCopy Abilities. Kirby can place a bomb above his head and cover himself with snow; the two round segments (the bomb and Kirby's body) make up the snowman. He is also able to walk around. After a short while, or when Kirby makes contact an enemy, the bomb will explode and leave Kirby immobilized for a few seconds with his top burnt. As the bomb explodes, the snow from the snowman blowing upwards can freeze airborne enemies. It is required to get a Crystal Shard in the first stage of Aqua Star.
Kirby turns into a snowman with a fuse. He is free to walk around until B is pressed, time runs out, or an enemy is touched, then he will explode. He is unable to float while he is a snowman, but he can jump. Contact with the snow that appears when the snowman explodes can freeze opponents.

In earlier versions of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Ice Bomb was originally going to have Kirby surround himself in a sphere of ice before having it shatter around him. [3]
