Bad Mr. Frosty
A snowman fighter who uses cold-themed attacks and physical strikes.
How it plays
Matches are presented from a side-on perspective. The objective is to reduce the opponent’s life bar before the round timer expires, with victory generally requiring the appropriate number of round wins.
Players move, jump, attack, block or evade, and use character-specific special moves. Tournament progression sends the selected fighter through a sequence of opponents, while versus play supports direct matches between players or against the computer. Exact move inputs can vary by character and version.
Plan your run
Learn the reach and recovery of one reliable normal attack before relying on special moves. Keep enough distance to react to jumps and unsafe approaches, then punish missed attacks rather than trading damage.
In tournament play, conserve life whenever possible: a difficult victory with very little remaining health can make the next match substantially harder. Test each fighter’s special-move timing in versus mode before attempting a full run.

Clay Fighter: Tournament Edition is a competitive fighting game developed by Visual Concepts and published by Interplay for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It uses stop-motion-inspired clay animation and a deliberately comic tone rather than realistic martial-arts presentation. Players select an eccentric fighter and battle through one-on-one matches using punches, kicks, special attacks, and defensive movement. The Tournament Edition release is associated with the original ClayFighter roster and tournament-focused play. Its reception centered on the unusual visual style, humorous character designs, and accessible fighting mechanics, while critics also noted that its combat system was less technical than genre leaders of the period.
