'''Ice Bros.''' are a rare species of [[Hammer Bro]] that debuted in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Ice Bros. resemble ordinary Hammer Bros., but with light cyan/pure white shoes, shells and helmets. Instead of throwing [[hammer]]s, they will throw [[Ice Ball]]s at their enemies (similar to how [[Fire Bro]]s. throw [[Fireball]]s, except that their ice balls disappear upon hitting the ground after bouncing once).

Ice Bros. appear in the [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]] [[Enemy Course]] of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. As aforementioned, they use Ice Balls as weapons to harm and freeze Mario and company into ice cubes; their Ice Balls can also freeze other enemies, including others of their species. Like most of their related species, they usually attack in a group of their members. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] catches one of their Ice Balls, the Yoshi can spit it out in the form of a blue fireball that freezes anything in its path.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====

Ice Bros. reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', where they are found in [[Frosted Glacier]], [[Icicle Caverns]] in which there are only 2 of them and {{world-link|coin|7|World Coin-7}}. They behave the same way they did in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', where they attempt to freeze players by throwing Ice Balls.

====''New Super Luigi U''====

In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', Ice Bros. are slightly more common. They appear in the levels [[All Aboard!]] and [[Frozen Fuzzies]].

Ice Bros. make their ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Their appearance is the same as in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They appear in enemies in most of [[World 4 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 4]]. They are quite a common enemy in this game, being slightly more common than [[Fire Bro]]s. Like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', they throw Ice Balls and try to hit Mario. Most of them will home in on Mario, and do 3 [[Heart Point|HP]] of damage and freeze [[Mario]] for a few seconds if they hit. Being frozen will also leave Mario vulnerable to a [[First Strike]] from other enemies in the area. Ice Bros later appear in the first area of [[Rugged Road]] after the player has placed an ice-based Thing sticker, which will turn all the Fire Bros. in the area into Ice Bros.

In battle, they are immune to all [[Ice Flower]] [[stickers]] and [[Chillhammer]] stickers. Their main weakness is fire; if the player uses a [[Fire Flower]] or a [[Burnhammer]] sticker, they take double damage.

Ice Bros. reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', behaving the same way as the previous game. They can be found in [[Lighthouse Island]], [[Fortune Island]] and [[Black Bowser's Castle]]. A large number of them appear behind the waterfall in the parallel world of Lighthouse Island.

Ice Bros. return in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', with origami Ice Bros. appearing as enemies. When engaged in battle, an Ice Bro will either attack using Ice Throw, involving their traditional behavior of throwing ice balls, or Super Bro Throw. The latter involves the Ice Bro throwing another enemy at Mario, which defeats that enemy. Ice Bros also use their own variant of Super Bro Throw, known as Cold Bro Throw. Before throwing its ally, the Ice Bro covers it in a snowball to drop onto Mario, with the ally suffering the same fate as the original variant of the move.

Ice Bros appear in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' as Water-attribute enemies. In battle, in addition to attacking normally, they may occasionally use '''Water Change''' to cause damage and change any Fire Orbs on the player's Orb field into Water Orbs, as well as '''Frenzied Blows''' to deal a large amount of damage. When defeated, they may randomly drop [[Baddie Block#Light Block|Light Blocks]] of Hammer Bros, while defeating them with 10+ Combo attacks guarantees they will drop [[Ice Flower]]s. As Water enemies, they take extra damage from Wood attribute attacks and less from Fire damage.  

As teammates, Ice Bros have an HP rating of 4/6, an ATK rating of 5/6, and a RCV rating of 2/6. Their Water Change Skill is identical to the enemy skill, and their Awoken Skill '''Recovery Boost''' increases the amount of HP healed when clearing Heart Orbs. Ice Bros use [[Star Coin]]s and [[Grand Star Coin]]s to raise their Skill Levels. The player can create an Ice Bro by transforming a Hammer Bro with five Ice Flowers. Teammates may occasionally gain ATK bonuses from depowered Ice Bros.

Ice Bros reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. They appear as enemies and recruitable Ranged-type allies exclusively in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', and are first encountered in [[Ice Guys Finish Last]]. They are strong against Fire Bros but weak against [[Fly Guy]]s. Strangely, unlike in other games, their tongues appear to be light blue.

Ice Bros reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they are found in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. They are strong against Fire Bros and [[Broque Madame]] but are weak against Fly Guys and [[Parabones]].

In ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', Ice Bros appear in the background of World 10 after it is cleared.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===

An Ice Bro makes his overall first playable appearance, alongside a [[Hammer Bro]], [[Boomerang Bro]], and [[Fire Bro]], making their playable debuts in the ''Mario Kart'' series in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Hammer Bro Tour]]. He is classified as a Super character and his special item is the [[Ice Flower]].
