The game hosts a number of hidden bonus secrets to be found, which are crucial for reaching high-scores to obtain extra lives.

The color of said potions lets players know what power-up it is: The red potion increases speed, blue increases the amount of snow thrown to cover enemies in snow easier, yellow increases the distance that snow can be thrown, while green causes the snowmen to inflate like a balloon while having the ability to fly around the screen and knock out enemies for a limited period of time. When players bowl an enemy over, it may drop a potion item. These ghosts cannot be killed or stunned and players must avoid them while killing the rest of the enemies. The evil pumpkin head will eventually spawn ghosts that travel freely through the level and seek the player character. It is invincible but can be stunned and sent to appear elsewhere in the level with snowballs or snow shots. If the player takes too much time to complete a level, an evil pumpkin head will come and try to kill the players. If players manage to take out all enemies by kicking one snowball (this one snowball may be used to make others bounce around as well and increase the chances to pull this trick off), bonus money will fall from the sky. Any enemies the snowball rolls into are eliminated and other stationary snowballs start rolling when the rolling snowball touches them. Once an enemy has been turned into a snowball, players can roll or throw the snowball, which will rebound off of walls until eventually shattering against a wall.
