In this form, Wario is covered in ice and slides to the direction that triggers it, and unable to be controlled until he hits a wall, which returns him back to normal. | | [[File:wariofreeze.png|thumb|left|Wario being hit by the triggering enemy [[Yukimaru]], becoming '''Frozen Wario'''.]] |
| | '''Frozen Wario''' (not to be confused with [[Snowman Wario]]), known as '''Ice Skatin' Wario''' in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', is one of [[Wario]]'s many transformations in the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]] of games. When in contact with the breath of a [[Yukimaru]], [[Brrr Bear]], or [[Yeti]], Wario immediately becomes frozen solid and sent skimming backwards, until he hits a wall. Although a usual inconvenience, he can slide through spikes and other obstacles. In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', the transformation is mainly of little use to the player and it is used more as a form of annoyance, or to waste time when the [[Switch (Wario Land 4)|switch]] is hit. They are mainly seen in the levels [[40 Below Fridge]] and [[Fiery Cavern]]. Unlike his other transformations, Frozen Wario cannot be controlled. |

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Wario Land'' series===
| |
| ====''Wario Land II''====
| |
| [[File:wariofreeze.png|thumb|left|Wario being hit by a [[Yukimaru]], becoming Frozen Wario]]
| |
| The Frozen Wario form makes its debut in ''[[Wario Land II]]''. If Wario comes into contact with the snowflakes spawned by a [[Yukimaru]], he will immediately become frozen solid, and begin to slide backwards until he hits a wall. Being frozen enables him to slide over spikes and other obstacles without harm. As Frozen Wario can only be triggered by a Yukimaru, it is only available in the levels [[Syrup Castle]], [[Invade Wario Castle]], [[Uncanny Mansion]], and [[Steal the Syrup's Treasure!!|The Really Final Chapter]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Wario Land 3''====
| | ==Artwork== |
| Frozen Wario returns in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'', where it is referred to as Ice Skatin' Wario. It reprises its purpose from the previous game but is triggered by contact with snowflakes from [[Brrr Bear]]s. This form is necessary to get past obstructing enemies such as a [[Lump|Prince Froggy]] in [[A Town in Chaos]], or harmful obstacles like [[Spike (Wario Land series)|spikes]].
| |
| | |
| The ''Wario Land 3'' instruction booklet and Japanese website list Ice Skatin' Wario as a new form, even though it appeared in the previous game. This may be because in ''Wario Land II'', it was unnamed and did not have artwork.
| |
| | |
| ====''Wario Land 4''====
| |
| Frozen Wario reappears in ''[[Wario Land 4]]''. Like previous games, Frozen Wario can be used to bypass spikes without taking damage. Unlike in previous games, this reaction is not necessary to progress within any level. This reaction is triggered by the frozen breath of a [[Yeti]], mainly appearing in the levels [[40 Below Fridge]] and [[Fiery Cavern]].
| |
| | |
| This is the first game in which this form is referred to as Frozen Wario.
| |
| | |
| ====''Wario Land: Shake It!''====
| |
| Frozen Wario also appears in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]''. Blue variants of [[Flimflam]]s can be found in [[Slipshod Slopes]] and [[Freezing Fields]], either on the ground in groups or falling from generators on the ceiling. If Wario makes contact with one, he will slide backwards until hitting a wall as in previous games, defeating any enemies he comes into contact with on the way. However, this form is not required to complete either of the two levels.

| | *The official Japanese archive for ''Wario Land 3'' and games' manual lists Ice Skatin' Wario as a new ability, when it was previously seen in ''Wario Land II''. However, this may be because it did not originally have artwork in ''Wario Land II''. |
