Ice Skates[2] (or ice skates) appear in the Super Mario franchise individually as items that player characters can ride inside, in a similar manner to the Goomba's Shoe in Super Mario Bros. 3.

History[edit]

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Ice Skates in Super Mario 3D World and its port are first encountered in Snowball Park. The player character can obtain one after defeating the Skating Goomba. While in an Ice Skate, the character will glide smoothly on ice, move faster overall, and become immune to spikes and certain enemies. A player wearing a Propeller Box will also not lose it upon entering an Ice Skate. However, they will not be able to stop moving, and if they hit a wall or a Walleye, the character will lose the item. The skate's original color is yellow, but it changes depending on which character is riding it. Mario's Ice Skate is red, Luigi's is green, Peach's is pink, Toad's is blue, and Rosalina's is cyan. Ice Skate Goombas later appear in Ty-Foo Flurries, and four unmanned Ice Skates also appear at the start of the eleventh room of Mystery House Marathon, where they must be used to collect the Green Star in time.

Ice Skates in the Bowser's Fury campaign are used to traverse Slipskate Slope. While not required to finish the course, the Ice Skate is the only way to move quickly enough to collect Blue Coins for the Blue Coin Bustle Cat Shine.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]

A gigantic Ice Skate can be seen in Sherbet Desert in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. It lies bogged down in snow at one corner of the Blizzy and Sandy battleground.

Super Mario Party Jamboree[edit]

In Super Mario Party Jamboree, ice skates are used in the coin-collecting minigame Rinks to Riches.
