Editing Freezie

A '''Freezie''' (alternatively spelled '''Freezy'''),<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan|date=June 7, 2001|title=''Super Mario Advance'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3633-7|page=91}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=2003|title=''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=39}}</ref> originally known as a '''Slipice''' and also known as an '''icicle'''<ref name=MB_NPA>{{cite|date=Spring 2001|title=''[[nwiki:Nintendo Power Advance|Nintendo Power Advance]]'' Volume 1|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]|language=en-us|page=40}}</ref> or '''ice''',<ref>English instruction manual for the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum ports of ''Mario Bros.''</ref>{{page needed}} is an enemy made entirely of ice that first appeared in the arcade game ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' Freezies (alternatively pluralized '''Freezys''')<ref>{{cite|author=Arnold, J. Douglas; Yamada, James; Elies, Mark|date=June 4, 2001|title=''Super Mario Advance'' Official Perfect Guide|language=en-us|isbn=0970646844|page=94}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=2003|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=49}}</ref> vary greatly in size and shape, but each has a distinct puzzled expression. Occasionally, Freezies are used as items to freeze enemies.

In the arcade game ''Mario Bros.'', Freezies emerge from pipes and travel along the [[floor]]s, just like other enemies. They first appear in Phase 9 (Phase 10 in Japan). When a Freezie reaches the center of a platform, it coats the entire platform with [[ice]], destroying itself in the process. A frozen platform is very slippery, meaning that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] should eliminate these enemies quickly. It can freeze the central floating platform and the two lower platforms above the bottom pipes. If all three platforms are frozen, no more Freezies appear for that phase. Hitting a Freezie from below destroys it and awards the player five hundred points. Freezies do not count as regular enemies, meaning Mario and Luigi do not have to clear them from the stage to complete the level. If Mario or Luigi touch a Freezie, they lose a life; unlike most enemies, Freezies only reverse direction if they bump into another enemy, which is the only way they can reach and freeze the upper platforms.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', large, stationary Freezies (also referred to as '''Icelings''')<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S.|date=November 25, 2003|title=''Mario Kart: Double Dash'' PRIMA's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-4424-0|page=31}}</ref> are located on the ice lake at the end of the racetrack [[Sherbet Land (GCN)|Sherbet Land]]. If a character drives into a Freezie, their kart becomes frozen in a block of ice for a few seconds. After being hit (by kart or item), a Freezie slides along the ground until it hits a wall and shatters. However, a sliding Freezie can still freeze any karts that it runs into. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Freezies retain their role as hazards in the [[classic course]] {{classic|GCN|Sherbet Land}}, where they no longer freeze drivers when driven into and break upon being hit. Additionally, they seem to retain their original appearance from ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]''

Freezies reappear in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]''. In this game, a huge Freezie is the boss of [[World 4 (Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix)|World 4]] and is the keeper of the fourth [[Music Key]], with the key being lodged inside the Freezie's head. This huge Freezie resides on the top of a snow-capped mountain and is surrounded by normal Freezies. When Mario (or Luigi) and [[Toad]] arrive to retrieve the key, Toad asks the huge Freezie to return the Music Key, and the Freezie does not respond. As such, Toad tells Mario to melt the giant icicle with his "burning hot dance moves." As the player starts dancing, the huge Freezie attempts to block the player's dance steps with ice and the player counters this by activating [[Fire Flower]]s on the beat. Once the player finishes the song the huge Freezie melts away and Mario recovers the final Music Key. The music playing in this battle, [[Deep Freeze (song)|Deep Freeze]], is a remix of "Fever" from ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]''.
