'''Frozen''' is a status ailment that appears in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] and ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', if [[Mario]] is frozen, he will not be able to move for several turns. It is indicated by a very large irregular chunk of ice surrounding Mario. The [[Crystal King]] can inflict this status on Mario with his Ice Bolt attack.

The status ailment returned in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and serves much the same purpose, with one key difference. When Mario, his partner, or any enemy's frozen status expires, that character will take 1 [[Heart Point|HP]] of damage when the ice breaks. It is indicated by a hexagonal chunk of ice only as big as the character surrounding them. In addition, if any attack that can induce a [[Burn]] is used on a frozen character, it will negate both status ailments.

The status effect returns in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Several items including the [[Fruit Parfait]] and [[Snow Bunny]] freeze enemies if used in battle. The [[Ice Cherbil]] is one of the enemies that can freeze the heroes. Several bosses also have this ability, including [[Bonechill]], whose freeze is more powerful than any other found in game. Mario does no longer take damage by waiting, however getting touched by enemies will make Mario lose [[Heart Point|HP]]. The player can only break free if they shake the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]].

It reappears in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', but only on the overworld when Mario gets in contact with an [[Ice Bro]]'s iceballs. Mario will be stunned for a few seconds, and if any enemy makes contact with Mario in this state, they will automatically get a First Strike on Mario, even if they otherwise cannot.

In ''The Origami King,'' the Frozen status can be inflicted on [[Scissors]] and [[King Olly]]'s Earth Vellumental form using the Ice Vellumental's power. It prevents the target from acting but also increases their defense, making the boss take no damage from most sources. Instead, Mario can use the [[1000-Fold Arms]] to stun and attack the target for major damage, or use fire-based attacks to deal 1 damage each hit. Using a Fire Vellumental on a frozen boss will thaw the ice while dealing 1 damage.

Freeze is one of the four status effects that cause the deactivation of certain abilities, with the other three being [[Honey (status effect)|Honey]], [[Ink]] and [[Stone (status effect)|Stone]].

A Super Effect known as '''Frostbite''' appears in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]''. It functions identically to [[Honey (status effect)|Honey]] from ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''; if a character is inflicted with Frostbite, they will be unable to move for one turn. [[Deep Freeze]]s are enemies that cause Frostbite, while the [[Spark (Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope)|Spark]]s [[Cryobolide]] and [[Cryogeddon]] allow heroes to inflict Frostbite on enemies.
