Prickly Goombas!, or Frosted Glacier-3, is the third level of Frosted Glacier in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked via completion of Freezing-Rain Tower, and its own completion opens the path to Scaling the Mountainside and Icicle Caverns, both of which are sometimes blocked by a Cooligan enemy course. This is where the fourth Nabbit chase occurs.

Layout

The player begins the level on ground made entirely out of ice. There are two Fire Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes nearby. A ? Block is found above a regular Piranha Plant, containing a Super Mushroom or a Fire Flower, depending on the player's form. Another Piranha Plant is found, along with a Prickly Goomba next to a Fire Piranha Plant. Some rolling hills, Prickly Goombas, and Fire Piranha Plants are found. A Fire Piranha Plant is found in a Warp Pipe, followed by a ledge with a Prickly Goomba and three regular Goombas on it. The Checkpoint Flag is found, along with another ? Block. A rolling hill with a Goomba on is found, and a ? Block containing a Yoshi Egg is hidden behind a wall at the end of the hill. A Fire Bro is found, followed by a rolling hill with Prickly Goombas on it. Mario then arrives at a ? Block and a Fire Piranha Plant. A group of Prickly Goombas is found below a platform, with a Fire Bro burning their shells open. Another Prickly Goomba is found with a Fire Bro, followed by a rolling hill and a row of Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes. A group of rolling hills, Fire Piranha Plants, and regular Piranha Plants are found, with the Goal Pole at the end of the area.

Star Coins

Image	Location
	The first Star Coin is located through a Warp Pipe above a platform. Some Goombas and a Prickly Goomba are located on the platform, and must be defeated in order to access the Warp Pipe.
	After the Checkpoint Flag, there is a pipe reachable by a Yoshi that is in a hidden wall. Through the Warp Pipe, a row of Prickly Goombas can be jumped on using Yoshi in order to reach the second Star Coin. A flight powerup such as the Super Acorn can also be used, or a Fire Flower could be utilized to clear the way.
	The third Star Coin is in the air after the second Star Coin, above a Fire Bro and a row of Prickly Goombas.
