Ice, also referred to as ice patches or frozen surfaces, is one of the characterizing terrain elements of snow-themed levels in the Super Mario franchise. In platforming titles, player characters have poor traction on ice and it makes it more likely for them to slide off the edge of terrain and into pits or damaging hazards. Typically there are means available to regain traction or make navigation more dynamic, such as the Penguin Suit or Ice Skate.

Numerous icy objects have the same slippery property when stood on, including Ice Blocks, Ice Chunks, and Ice Meteors. Unlike them, ice is a direct component of a level's landscape and can form a diversity of different shapes, including slopes. Ice first appeared in isolation from discrete objects like Ice Blocks in Super Mario World.

In Super Mario Galaxy, ice reduces Mario's (or Luigi's) traction if he tries to walk along it, which interferes wit his momentum and trajectory if he jumps. Mario also has difficulty turning while on ice. However, shaking the Wii Remote or Nunchuk causes Mario to skate, which allows him to move much faster and make sharper turns. Mario performs an Axel when he jumps that is shorter in height than his normal jumps, but maintains the fast momentum of the skates. Most galaxies that incorporate ice in the terrain emphasize the dynamic mechanics of skating.

Ice makes up large parts of the terrain in the Freezeflame Galaxy. The entirety of the ring-shaped starting planet is made of translucent ice. During "The Frozen Peak of Baron Brrr," a belly-sliding penguin challenges Mario to a game of tag around this ring-shaped planet. Most ice occurs on the Freezy Peak, where it covers the surface of slides, floats, and the ground. The water around Freezy Peak is freezing water, making traversal along the ice precarious. During "Frosty Cosmic Mario Race," Mario is challenged by Cosmic Mario (or Cosmic Luigi if playing as Luigi) to a race across icy floors suspended over empty space. Outside of the Freezeflame Galaxy, ice appears in a cold area of the Toy Time Galaxy with ice cream and lollipop lifts. They make up the only stable ground of the ice sphere in Bowser's Galaxy Reactor.
