In platforming titles, player characters have poor traction on ice and it makes it more likely for them to slide off the edge of terrain and into [[pit]]s or damaging hazards. Typically there are means available to regain traction or make navigation more dynamic, such as the [[Penguin Suit]] or [[Ice Skate]]. | ||
Numerous icy objects have the same slippery property when stood on, including [[Ice Block]]s, [[Ice Chunk]]s, and [[Ice Meteor]]s. Unlike them, ice is a direct component of a level's landscape and can form a diversity of different shapes, including [[slope]]s. Ice first appeared in the arcade game ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', and it would ultimately appear in the mainline series in isolation from objects like Ice Blocks in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. | Numerous icy objects have the same slippery property when stood on, including [[Ice Block]]s, [[Ice Chunk]]s, and [[Ice Meteor]]s.

Ice begins to appear in the lattermost stages in the arcade version of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', where it makes the [[floor]] slippery for [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. With the exception of the first bonus level, all levels have floors made of ice. [[Freezie]]s, originally referred to as Slipices, debuted in this game. They have the ability to self-destruct, which leaves the floor they were sliding along coated in ice. The icy floors would not return in subsequent remakes of ''Mario Bros.'' until the version included on the [[Mario Bros.

Ice appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' in much of the same capacity as it did in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' It makes up large swaths of the terrain in the snow-themed [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]], including narrow corridors, slopes, and platforms. Ice reduces the player character's traction, making precise platforming difficult. In the above-ground courses, ice is a vibrant blue and seems to have a thin layer of snow embedded on their surfaces. Underground, ice is a duller blue and has nothing coating their surfaces. The ceilings are often lined with damaging [[icicle]]s that drop when the player character crosses underneath, exasperating the precariousness of the icy terrain. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' introduces the [[Penguin Mario|Penguin form]], which allows the player character to remain surefooted on ice as if it were normal ground. The character can also belly slide along ice, enabling them to seamlessly slide over narrow gaps and even break [[Brick Block]]s. Ice appears in [[World 3-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-1]], [[World 3-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-3]], the boss room with [[Lemmy]] in {{world link|3|tower|World 3-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.

Ice has a more prominent presence in the snowy [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]]. One of Freezy Flake's largest planets has a small frozen pond with [[Star Bit]]s floating above it, and a [[slide]] made of ice that connects to another area. There is an Underground Ice Rink hidden on this planet where [[The Chimp]] hosts his [[The Chimp's Skating Challenge|skating challenge]]. Similar to ''{{wp|Whac-A-Mole}}'', skating into the mole-like [[Gummit]]s awards Mario with [[point]]s. The Chimp awards Mario a [[Power Star]] if he obtains up to 500 points. The [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] that leads to the ice rink is concealed in one of the tree-shaped [[snow sculpture]]s of the planet, which can be destroyed with an attack from [[Rock Mario]] or [[Fire Mario]].

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ice appears exclusively within the snow-themed [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]]. Its function is comparable to that of the first ''New Super Mario Bros.'', where traction is reduced and makes precise platforming difficult. Unlike the [[Ice Block]]s in the game, ice is not restricted to grid-like arrangements within levels, making up slopes, concave valleys, and narrow corridors. There is no [[List of power-ups|power-up]] or wearable item in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' that makes Mario (or Luigi) move normally on ice. Unlike previous games, the all ice is a vibrant light blue lightly covered with snow. Hexogan-shaped depressions occur on the sides of ice, and some are completely hollow, enabling a view of the background of the level. | In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ice appears exclusively within the snow-themed [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]].

Ice is largely restricted to certain underground areas in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where it makes up the available terrain. In some areas, it is the only available footing. Mario normally has poor traction on ice and has difficulty maintaining momentum. However, he can remain surefooted as a [[capture]]d [[Goomba]], though at the expense of his jumping height. Goombas are involved in the acquisition of several [[Power Moon]]s that are found in ice.

Ice first appears in the [[Sand Kingdom]]. Upon first visit, the desert is chilled and bodies of water, such as the [[Desert Oasis (Super Mario Odyssey)|Desert Oasis]] in the southeast, are frozen over. There is an Ice Cave within [[Tostarena Ruins]] largely made-up of narrow, icy walkways. Goombas and [[Pulse Beam]]s occur here. Defeating the boss [[Knucklotec]] restores above-ground climate of the Sand Kingdom, causing much of the ice to disappear, but it remains accessible in the ruins. Ice reappears in the [[Snow Kingdom]], described in its brochure as a "world of ice and [[snow]]." There are giant pillars and sinking floats made of ice in the Snow Kingdom. There are various enclosed spaces where the terrain is entirely ice, including one where Mario can participate in [[Koopa Trace-Walking]] and another called The Cold Room where he can access a 2D area with slippery ice as its [[Ground (block)|ground]]. There are sub-areas around [[Shiveria Town]] that prominently feature ice, namely [[Icicle Cavern]], [[Wind-Chill Cavern]], and [[Snowy Mountain]]. They are visited during the [[mission|objective]] "[[The Cake Thief's Parting Gift]]." Ice is the only available footing in the Icicle Cavern, which is occupied by many Goombas. In Wind-Chill Cavern, [[Ty-foo]]s slide large wooden blocks along narrow paths of ice. The peak of Snowy Mountain is covered in ice, and during the objective, it is where Mario fights [[Rango]]. A Power Moon occurs lurking under the ice if this mountain is revisited after the objective has been completed. | Ice first appears in the [[Sand Kingdom]].

Ice is an uncommon terrain element of [[Fluff-Puff Peaks]], appearing in three courses. As in previous games, ice reduces the player character's traction and makes it difficult for them to make precise jumps and maintain momentum. This includes Toadette and Nabbit, who do not slip on ice in ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''. The ice in this game appears crystalline and reflects different bands of light, producing a radiance of different colors. The thin snow that hugs the tops and sides of ice is softly rounded. Hexagonal, translucent walls of ice appear in the background of some narrow sections where both the floor and ceiling are made of ice.

Ice appears in the first course of Fluff-Puff Peaks, [[Outmaway Valley]], where it makes up most of the terrain. Outmayways kick [[Ice Block|ice blocks]] the slide along the ice. In some areas, the ice forms gentle slopes. Ice also appears in the secret course [[Break Time! Kick It, Outmaway]]. During the boss battle in [[Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace]], [[Wonder Bowser Jr.]] freezes the surfaces of the arena after transforming. It makes it difficult to land a hit on him, but Wonder Bowser Jr. also becomes dizzy after spinning in his shell on ice. | Ice appears in the first course of Fluff-Puff Peaks, [[Outmaway Valley]], where it makes up most of the terrain.

In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, ice appears on the surface of the road in some courses. It makes it difficult for the player character to [[drift]] or avoid oncoming hazards, similar to its function in the mainline ''Super Mario'' series. [[Penguin]]s and [[Skating Shy Guy]]s are recurring hazards on icy courses, as they do not slip on ice. In the ''Mario Kart Arcade'' games, the [[Snow Cloud]] item causes the struck opponent's kart to behave as if they were driving on ice. Ice has appeared in nearly every ''Mario Kart'' title, beginning with the Vanilla Lake courses from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. In games where a new course is not introduced, one from a previous game is included, as is the case for Sherbet Land in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. The only games to completely lack any ice-covered courses are ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP VR]]''.

In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', ice is | In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', ice understandably is a common element in [[World 5 (Yoshi's Woolly World)|World 5]], a sky and snow-themed world. When Yoshi walks across ice, or any other objects made of ice, his feet transform into ice skates. This takes priority over the wheel transformation, though if Yoshi is already using his wheel animation he will swap to skates after a short time. Yoshi will gradually slide down any slope of ice, even if he stands still. While [[Mermaid Yoshi]] can struggle across normal land, it cannot successfully climb upward icy slopes and gets turned the other way. Ice primarily appears in [[Frozen Solid and Chilled]], [[Big Montgomery's Ice Fort]], and [[Snifberg the Unfeeling's Castle]], though Big Montgomery's Ice Fort focuses more on varieties of Ice Blocks. Ice makes a minor appearance in [[A Little Light Snowfall]] and [[Wonderful World of Wool]], the latter in its World 5 themed section. | ||
''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' has the additional course [[Bobsledding Peaks]] in its [[Poochy Dash]] mode, which based on World 5 and unlocked after completing Big Montgomery's Ice Fort. Bobsledding Peaks is entirely covered in ice. Sliding on ice causes Poochy to flip onto his back, and he stays in this position until he bumps into a wall or reaches the goal. A low ceiling early in Bobsledding Peaks enforces entering this slide, and there are very few opportunities to bump into walls. While sliding in this way, Poochy moves much faster than normal, though he cannot jump as high.
