Blizzard Fan

Blizzard Fans are an obstacle of, first introduced in Season 3.

Obstacle description
Blizzard Fans are, as the name suggests, fans. They work exactly as a fan: they create a flow of air that pushes the players away, back, or up into the air. They can be both a helpful tool and an annoying obstacle. They can be necessary to progress with a level, and sometimes are a hassle to avoid.

The Blizzard Fans may so be divided into 3 groups:


 * Floor Blizzard Fans: These are used to overcome a section or to get help. These fans are usually bigger and are always placed on a stationary floor. Some floor fans can also periodically turn off and on. These fans contain a small ramp towards the center to aid players in allowing them easy access.
 * Detached Blizzard Fans: Unlike floor blizzard fans, detached blizzard fans have a variety of uses. These are commonly placed at different angles allowing players to travel far distances both forward and back. Certain detached fans can be found moving along a set path.
 * Block Blizzard Fans: These fans are a special type of helper block that include a built-in fan on top. Just like helper blocks these fans can be pushed around using the grab button.

Basketfall
As a variation added in the Season 4.5 Dave update, Basketfall can have floor blizzard fans replacing the spinning plates next to the baskets. People have been able to throw their basketballs into the fan making the ball fly into a basket. Another variation replaces the center speed bump with a giant floor blizzard fan. After a while of floating up and and down the current, incoming basketballs may be found stuck on top, trapped in the fan's winds.

Big Fans
Starting from the Season 3 mid-season update, an alternate version of Big Fans can appear. This variation contains several detached blizzard fans on sections 3 and 4. A detached blizzard fan can be found under each fan platform of section 3, blowing directly upwards. In section 4, three blizzard fans can be found blowing diagonal winds toward the finish line.

Button Bashers
Each of the fifteen identical arenas in Button Bashers feature a detached blizzard fan at each of four corners. These are togglable and can turned off and on using their repective chonky buttons. These blizzard fans can blow the players on to the center podium making it the favorited solution to cashing in on that first point.

Door Dash
Starting from the Season 3 mid-season update, a giant, floor blizzard fan may appear after the last set of doors on Door Dash. This can cause the Big Yeetus at the end to become more of an obstacle rather than a flinging tool.

Freezy Peak
In Freezy Peak, both detached and floor blizzard fans can be found. There are lots of fans:


 * The first section has a total of ten, small, moving, detached blizzard fans to annoy the incoming players.
 * The second section, two floor fans are available to fly upward to the second section platform.
 * The third section consists of a small floating platform that can include two floor fans.

All floor fans in this level are required to complete the race. (Unless you are willing to risk it all for Big Yeetus.)



Hoopsie Daisy
Starting from the Season 3 mid-season update, an alternate version of Hoopsie Daisy may appear. This variation replaces the spinning plates with giant, floor blizzard fans. These non-themed fans are magenta with a burnt-yellow blade. Slingus flinguses that flip into the fan are guaranteed to appear in this variation as well.

Hoverboard Heroes
As of Season 4.5 Dave, detached blizzard fans may appear in three sections of Hoverboard Heroes:


 * On the left side of the hoverboard in the second section with the cannons.
 * As an alternate pathway in the third section.
 * Necessary to reach the finish line at the final section.

Jinxed
Starting from the Season 3 mid-season update, a variation can replace the two spinning plates with floor blizzard fans on Jinxed. When flying on a fan, you can't get jinxed. To prevent players taking advantage of these fans, they periodically turn on and off causing everyone rinding to fall down. Unlike the spinning plates version, you can get on top of a fan without having to use a nearby ramp.

Jump Showdown
Starting from the Season 3 mid-season update, an alternate version of Jump Showdown contains a detached blizzard fan that circles around the perimeter of the map, blowing players towards the center. This version of the round has been nicknamed Jump Blowdown.

Knight Fever
A variant in the second section of Knight Fever may include two upwards-facing detached Blizzard Fans that slowly move from left to right. This requires players to ride the air current to cross the gaps. If a player fails to cross the second gap, they will have to ride both fans again as there is no checkpoint between gaps.

Pegwin Pursuit
As part of the Stop With the Yeets Name it Anything Else Just Don't Include the Word Yeet Please I'm Begging You update, four, floor blizzard fans can be found near each wall of the arena. These fans allow players and pegwins to fly to the upper platforms. Though when a punching glove is present, this is not recommended. A fan may also appear at the very center of the arena.

Power Trip
As of Season 4.5 Dave, a variation of two giant fans near each team's starting area can be found. Players can still reach the upper area by using the side obstacles however. Speaking of side obstacles, another variation - also added in 4.5 - includes a floor blizzard fan on each raised platform. These fans are togglable with their respective chonky button.

Roll On
As part of Season 4.5 Dave, Roll On may have the last moving platform replaced with a large detached blizzard fan for people to cross the gap with.

Short Circuit
As a variation introduced in the Season 4 mid-season update, two fan block blizzard fans can appear in the first section of Short Circuit. These fan blocks, just like their helper block counterparts in this round, can't be reached from the floor.

Ski Fall
Ski Fall has two, big, detached blizzard fans at the end of the stage, on the sides before the last ring wheel. They are not an obstacle here, but they can help for centering your jump into a certain ring if the players are sliding a little bit to the side.

Skyline Stumble
A variant introduced in Season 4.5 Dave adds threee detached blizzard fans in place of the cannons at the beginning of Skyline Stumble. These fans blow diagonally upwards and periodically move up and down. Another variant includes a giant, detached blizzard fan in the middle of section where the cannons and chonky buttons normally are; though, they included thicc bonkuses can "bonk" a player while riding the fan.

Slime Climb
In the SWtYNiAEJDItWYPIBY update (Update 3.5), an alternate ending of Slime Climb introduces a horizontal facing, detached blizzard fan that pushes players into slime. This fan moves up and down the end ramp.

In the Dave update (Update 4.5), detached blizzard fans can replace the second set of moving blocks/slingus flingusses. These fans turn off once inside and turn back on again once exiting.



Tail Tag
In the Season 3 mid-season update, two different blizzard fan variations were added. A floor fan may appear in the center replacing the giant rotating hammer or rotating beam. This fan, just like the ones on Jinxed, periodically turns on and off to prevent people holding onto their tail. Replacing rotating hammers, four detached fans can be found on the elongated ramps blowing towards the center platform. These fans move up and down allowing another way to travel across the map to stop those pesky players from stealing your tail!



Tundra Run
One of the first appearance of blizzard fans is in the race game Tundra Run. A helpful, detached fan is placed under the section with the icy halfpipe. As the players end this section, an upwards flow of air can blow them across the punching gloves section, if they aim correctly. A moving, detached fan is present in the second last section with slingus flingusses. If the wind hits the players they are pushed backward risking landing on the flippers, which launch the players even further backward.

Starting from the Season 3 mid-season update, the last section of the map may be replaced by an upward-facing, detached blizzard fan.

Wall Guys
Starting from the Season 3 mid-season update, several blizzard fans may appear in Wall Guys. Three block blizzard fans can appear helping the players to scale the walls. (One just before the third wall and two before the fourth.) One detached, obstacolating, blizzard fan can be found after the final wall trying to push the players down. This fan is constantly moving left and right across its rail.
