In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], ice is one of the four elements assigned to Special attacks, alongside [[Jumping#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Jump]], [[Fire (element)|Fire]], and [[Lightning (element)|Lightning]]. [[Ice Bomb]] and [[Mallow]]'s [[Snowy]] are designated with the ice element. Attacking enemies or bosses weak to ice will deal twice the damage; conversely, attacking enemies and bosses who are resistant to it will have no effect and inflict 0 damage instead. | In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], ice is one of the four elements assigned to Special attacks, alongside [[Jumping#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Jump]], [[Fire (element)|Fire]], and [[Lightning (element)|Lightning]].

The way ice is handled is changed in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] in several ways. The [[Ice Power]] badge has been reduced to only 1 bonus damage against fire-based enemies, namely [[Ember]]s, [[Lava Bubble]]s, and [[Phantom Ember]]s, but also gained 1 bonus defence against all fire attacks. Ice-themed enemies are now healed by the amount of damage they were supposed to receive from an ice attack instead of being immune to them | The way ice is handled is changed in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] in several ways.

Attacks with the ice element in this game include the [[Ice Storm]] item and Mario's [[Ice Smash]] if the associated badge is equipped. Any character, partners and enemies included, can now be inflicted with the frozen status after receiving an ice attack, at the end of which they receive 1 [[Piercing attack|piercing]] ice damage; if the target is [[Burn|burning]], the two statuses will immediately cancel each other and return the target to its normal state. The [[Icicle Pop]], [[Zess Frappe]], and [[Snow Bunny]] recipes are imbued with the ice element and can inflict the frozen status on their user. The stage nozzle hazard can inflict the frozen status to one side of the [[Stage (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|stage]] as one of its random effect if they are knocked down. | Attacks with the ice element in this game include the [[Ice Storm]] item and Mario's [[Ice Smash]] if the associated badge is equipped.

[[Bulky Bob-omb]]s and [[Bob-ulk]]s hit with any ice attack or frozen status effect will be extinguished, and will restart their detonating sequence from where they were interrupted.

While the ice element does not yet appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', early signs of it are present in the [[Ice Snifit (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Ice Snifit]], [[Jojora]], and [[Jojora's Friend|her friend]], who are ice-themed enemies that are weak to [[Firebrand]]. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', their ice attacks often inflict the [[Heavy G]] status. | |||

Item]], of which it is the first appearance in any game | ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' formally introduces the ice element to the series thanks to the [[Ice Flower]] [[Bros. Item]], of which it is the first appearance in any game. Much like the [[Hand Power]]s in the previous game, using it against enemies who are weak to the ice element will deal additional damage to them, indicated by the word "Critical" that appears after the attack. Others can be resistant to it, turning any Ice Flower attack against them into a flat 1 damage, no matter how many [[Ice Ball]]s hit them. Most [[Shroob]]s are weak to the ice element. [[Bully (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|Bullies]], on top of being weak to ice, can also be cooled down from their empowered "enraged" state to their normal state with it. It is also thematically used in the [[Mix Flower]] attack, each Ice Ball representing a misinput that weakens the attacks' [[Fire (element)|fire]] power. | ||

Ice as an element does not return in neither ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' nor any of the following ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' games, but remnants of it appear during the fight against [[Blizzard Midbus]], who summons ice-made [[Snawful]]s that are weak to the [[Fire (element)|fire element]]. | |||
