Ice statues,[1] also known as ice sculptures[1] or snowmen,[2] are destructible objects in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are sculpted snow found in some snow-themed galaxies, functioning similarly to the snowmen in Super Mario Galaxy and ice blocks in Super Mario Galaxy 2. In both games, Mario or Luigi can melt ice statues with fireballs while in their Fire forms. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, they also fall apart when struck by Mario or Luigi in their Rock forms. They are otherwise typically unbreakable.
Within the first game, ice statues only appear in Snow Cap Galaxy, in which they resemble mushrooms or corks and can be stood on. Each one contains a coin. In the second game, they prominently appear in Freezy Flake Galaxy in the shape of Goombas, trees, and Bowser. Amongst these ice statues are a Launch Star, a warp pipe, and Yellow Star Chips. Most 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. Ice statues appear during the the battle with Sorbetti that disrupt the boss's course, but fall apart once struck by it or if hit by spin. The removal of the statues make it more challenging to avoid Sorbetti.
