| '''Ice Mario''' is a form that [[Mario]] takes upon touching an [[Ice Flower]], granting him ice-related powers. It is often viewed as a parallel to [[Fire Mario]]. A [[Ice Mario (Super Mario Galaxy)|vastly different form of the same name]] appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. | | '''Ice Mario''' is a form that [[Mario]] can take upon touching an [[Ice Flower]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Between the two games, both the appearance and abilities of Ice Mario vary greatly. |

| ===''Super Mario'' series=== | | ===''Super Mario Galaxy''=== |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
| | When Mario grabs an [[Ice Flower]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' , his body turns into solid ice. While granted this form, any water or lava he touches freezes solid in the form of a hexagonal platform (which melts after a period of time if left unoccupied). This allows Mario to walk or skate across vast distances of water or lava with ease and safety. Ice Mario can also freeze water spouts and waterfalls, which usually grant him passage to higher areas. Like [[Fire Mario]], this power-up has a time limit. |
| [[File:NSMBW Ice Mario Artwork.png|thumb|left|Ice Mario's artwork from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]
| |
| The Ice form gives Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] and [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]] the power to shoot [[Ice Ball]]s, just like with the Ice Flower [[Bros. Item]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. In this form, Mario's overalls turn red, while his cap and shirt turn cyan, similar to Fire Mario (likewise, Luigi and the Toads have their own take on this appearance).
| |
|
| |
|
| This form is not to be confused with the [[Penguin Mario|Penguin form]], as that form has more abilities. In addition to throwing Ice Balls, Penguin characters can slide on their bellies (destroying breakable blocks and enemies in the way), swim with much more control and agility, and walk/run on ice without skidding. The [[Penguin Suit]] itself is rarer than the Ice Flower.
| | A downside of this power-up is that Ice Mario's midair spin is diminished. Ice Mario's midair spin gains almost no height, unlike Mario's regular form. Therefore, Ice Mario cannot jump as high. |
|
| |
|
| Ice Balls can be used to take out [[Larry]], [[Iggy]], [[Morton]], [[Roy]], [[Ludwig]], and [[Kamek]]'s magical fireballs, as well as [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]]'s [[fireball]]s. However, they cannot hurt nor freeze the bosses. Normal enemies will be trapped in ice cubes when hit by an Ice Ball. They will eventually try to free themselves, but the effect of this varies from enemy to enemy. Some will die after breaking free, releasing [[coin]]s, but others can free themselves without taking damage. If the player lifts a frozen enemy, they will never break free as long as they are being held.
| | This power-up is introduced in the [[Freezeflame Galaxy]], but can also be found in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] and the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. Ice Mario is one of two power-ups in the game that was not carried over to its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the other being [[Flying Mario]]. |
|
| |
|
| The frozen enemies can be ground-pounded to defeat them. Many frozen enemies can also be defeated by lifting and throwing them, which makes them slide in the direction they were thrown, defeating other enemies in their path until they shatter on a wall or fall of a cliff. Even unbeatable enemies like [[Dry Bones]] can be destroyed after being frozen and will not revive. However, some enemies and obstacles, like [[Thwomp]]s, are so solid that Ice Balls cannot freeze them. Other large enemies, such as [[Porcupuffer]]s and [[Big Piranha Plant]]s, can be frozen, but will break out immediately and ultimately cannot be harmed by ice. Other enemies, like most other Piranha Plants and [[Sledge Bro]]s., cannot be picked up. Flying enemies can be frozen in mid-air, allowing the player to jump off them, but after a while, their block will fall and break on the ground, defeating them.
| | ===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''=== |
| | Ice Mario returns in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', but Ice Mario's appearance and powers have been changed. The Ice Flower here gives Mario, Luigi, and the Blue and Yellow [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s the power to shoot Ice Balls, just like in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. Rather than turning into a living being of ice, Ice Mario's overalls turn red, while his cap and shirt turn light blue, similar to [[Fire Mario]] (likewise, Luigi and the Toads have their own take on this appearance). Unlike in ''Galaxy'', Ice Mario's power does not have a time-limit. |
|
| |
|
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
| | Ice Mario is not to be confused with [[Penguin Mario]], an improved version of the former power-up. Ice Mario can only shoot Ice balls while Penguin Mario has more abilities. Penguin Mario can slide on his belly, destroying breakable blocks in his way. Penguin Mario has better swimming abilities and the ability to walk on ice without sliding, but the [[Penguin Suit]] itself is rarer than the Ice Flower. |
| Ice Mario makes a reappearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', functioning identically. [[Mii]]s can also make use of Ice Flowers to become Ice Miis. This time, most of the bosses can be frozen, but will break out immediately. | |
|
| |
|
| In the [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', [[Toadette]] can also make use of Ice Flowers to become Ice Toadette. As Ice Toadette, she gains a pink-spotted cyan cap, cyan vest and pink pants while her dress remains unchanged.
| | The ice balls can be used to neutralize the magical projectiles fired by [[Larry Koopa|Larry]], [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]], and [[Kamek]]. They can also be used to douse the [[fireball]]s spat by [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]]. However, they are unable to inflict damage to, or freeze, any of the bosses. Normal enemies will be trapped in ice blocks when hit by an ice ball. They will eventually try to free themselves, but the effect of this varies from enemy to enemy. Some will die after breaking free, releasing [[coin]]s, but others can free themselves without taking damage. |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| | The frozen enemies can be ground-pounded to kill them. Many frozen enemies can also be killed by throwing them, which will make them slide in the direction they were thrown, killing any other enemies in their path until they shatter on a wall or fall of a cliff. Even undefeatable enemies like [[Dry Bones]] can be destroyed after being frozen and will not revive. However, some enemies and obstacles like [[Thwomps]] are so solid that ice balls shatter on them, making them useless. Other large enemies, such as [[Porcu-Puffer]], can be frozen, but will break out immediately and ultimately cannot be harmed by ice. Flying enemies can be frozen in mid-air, allowing the player to jump off them, but after a while they will try to get free, and their block will fall and break on the ground, defeating them. |
| While Ice Mario does not appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' as a usable form, knocking on a [[Warp Door]] in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style may cause [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] to appear in this form.

| ====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
| | ''A CHILLY kind of flower power, Ice Mario is a form that Mario can take when he grabs an Ice Flower. When he powers up to this transformation, he can walk on any body of water or lava by freezing the liquid in hexagonal platforms and simply walking across. look in the Freezeflame Galaxy and others to.'' |
| Ice Mario appears briefly in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', whenever Mario uses any type of [[Ice Flower]] [[sticker]]. | | <br clear=all> |

|
| ====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''==== | | ==Gallery== |
| As in the previous game, Ice Mario appears in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' as a Mario transformation by using a normal or Big [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)#Ice Flower|Ice Flower card]].

|
| ====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''==== | | ==Trivia== |
| In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', as in the previous ''Paper Mario'' games, Mario briefly takes this form when using a normal or [[Shiny Ice Flower]] in battle.
| | *The music played during the duration of this power up closely resembles the music played for [[Fire Mario]], but is played in a higher key. |
| | | *In ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]'', one of Mario's alternate color outfits slightly resembles that of Ice Mario. |
| ===''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''===
| | *Between the two games both Ice Marios have very different abilites |
| [[File:Ice Luigi artwork.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Artwork from ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', showing Ice Luigi as an alternate color scheme for Luigi.]]
| |
| In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', Ice Luigi appears as a downloadable alternate color scheme for [[Luigi]]. His [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] is the Ice Ball, which can be thrown forward or backward. When hit, in addition to damage, the tires freeze and becomes unstable for a certain period of time.

| Near the end of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', during her forced wedding with Bowser, Princess Peach becomes Ice Peach after secretly smuggling an Ice Flower in the bouquet. This marks the first time she is seen in this form, albeit in her wedding dress being transformed instead of her default dress.

| *As Ice Mario, Mario's overalls turn red, and his hat and shirt turn a light blue, resembling the Mario found on the cover of the first issue of ''Nintendo Power'' and his outfit in the three [[DIC Entertainment|DIC]] cartoons and in the early ''Super Mario'' games prior to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in which his colors were inverted from his current design. His color scheme also matches his appearance on the cover of ''[[Alleyway]]'' and his blue costume from the first three [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]].
| |
| *As Ice Luigi, Luigi's overalls turn green, and his hat and shirt turn a light blue, resembling his appearance from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' prior to ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and his outfit in the three DIC cartoons in which his colors were inverted from his current design.
| |
| *The Ice Mii's player 4 costume bears a striking resemblance to Luigi's light-blue alternate costume in all of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.
