Ice Flowers are the frozen counterparts of Fire Flowers and first appear in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The effects of an Ice Flower are similar to a Bros. Flower, but they allow Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi to shoot ice balls instead of fireballs. Ice Flowers can randomly lower the enemies' Attack, Defense, and/or Speed.

Ice Flowers reappear in Super Mario Galaxy, specifically in the Beach Bowl Galaxy, the Freezeflame Galaxy, and the Deep Dark Galaxy. Ice Flowers turn Mario into Ice Mario, which lets him cross water and lava by creating hexagonal platforms of ice wherever he steps on either surface. Additionally, instead of running, Mario can skate about the level, increasing his speed. The music accompanying the ability increases in speed until the effect of the Ice Flower ends, in effect serving as a timer.

Ice Flowers reappear once more in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In this game, they function as a combination of the Fire Flower from previous games and the new Penguin Suit from the same game. They allow Mario, Luigi, and the Toads to launch ice balls to freeze opponents. Yoshi can grab an ice ball thrown by another player and spit it out. This also works for fire balls from a Fire Flower.

Ice Flowers are set to appear as an item in the upcoming Paper Mario game for the Nintendo 3DS.

Super Mario Galaxy Trading Card Description

The Ice Flowers turn Mario into his Ice Mario form, which allows him to cross bodies of water and lava! Any liquid that Mario touches while in this form turns into hexagonal platforms that he can walk on and cross great distances. Ice Mario can also freeze waterspouts and waterfalls, which allows him passage to higher elevations.

Trivia

  • A Fire Flower from Super Mario Bros. 3 in the roulette card game resembles an Ice Flower.
  • When Mario has an Ice Flower in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, his overalls turn red, and his hat and shirt turn a light blue, resembling his original color scheme in which his colors were inverted from his current design.
  • The Ice Flower is one of the two power-ups from Super Mario Galaxy that does not return in Super Mario Galaxy 2, the other being the Red Star.
  • The Ice Flower grants the user (Mario or Luigi) the powers of Cryokinesis.
  • In Mario Party 5, in the minigame Panic Pinball, if the player starts the roulette by hitting the Goomba, it is possible to get three Ice Flowers in a row, which gives the team 1,000 points.
