'''Snow sculptures''', also known as '''ice statues''',<ref name=browne127>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=127|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref> '''ice sculptures''',<ref name=browne127/> or '''snowmen''',<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=129|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as destructible objects appearing in the likeness of various objects and even enemies such as [[Goomba]]s. Snow sculptures appear in some snow-themed [[Galaxy|galaxies]], functioning similarly to the [[Snowman|snowmen]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and [[Ice Block|ice block]]s in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. In both games, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can melt snow sculptures with [[fireball]]s while in his [[Fire Mario|Fire form]]. In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', they also fall apart when struck by Mario or Luigi in his [[Rock Mario|Rock form]]. They are otherwise typically unbreakable.

Within the first game, snow sculptures appear only in the [[Snow Cap Galaxy]], in which they resemble [[mushroom]]s or corks and can be stood on. Each one contains a [[coin]]. In the second game, snow sculptures prominently appear in the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]] in the shape of Goombas, [[tree]]s, and [[Bowser]]. Amongst these snow sculptures are a [[Launch Star]], a [[Warp Pipe]], and yellow [[Star Chip]]s. Most snow sculptures fall apart with one strike, but the large Bowser statues need to be struck three times to be destroyed. In the [[mission]] [[Bowser on Ice]], the Bowser statue on the final planet contains a [[Power Star]]. Snow sculptures appear during the battle with [[Sorbetti]] and disrupt the boss's course, but they fall apart once struck by it or if hit by a [[spin|Star Spin]]. The removal of the statues makes it more challenging to avoid Sorbetti.
