However, Ice Dragon is vulnerable to cold temperature in the inside of its body. Kirby uses Chilly to go inside of the dragon to freeze it. Once the Ice Dragon is frozen, it is defeated, much to the shock of King Dedede and Escargoon. The snow created by the Ice Dragon melts as Cappy Town turns back to normal.
