Piranha Plants on Ice, or Layer-Cake Desert-Ice Block, is a secret course hidden in Layer-Cake Desert of New Super Mario Bros. U. Although this is a level in Layer-Cake Desert, the course is actually situated on a block of ice in Frosted Glacier to the right of the cake structure. To reveal this level, the player must locate the secret exit in Spike's Spouting Sands. Finishing this level unlocks a path of ice and some purple mushrooms leading the player to Jungle of the Giants in Soda Jungle, skipping Frosted Glacier and Sparkling Waters.
Layout
The level begins near a segment where a row of Fire Piranha Plants are found below slippery platforms, where they can melt Frozen Coins to make Ice Chunks fall. ? Blocks are found above the platform. Afterward, the player must cross a section of the level with a Koopa Troopa, as well as Fire Piranha Plants that cause Ice Chunks to fall from above. The slippery platform can be used to obtain a 1-Up Mushroom from a Hidden Block. A Green Ring is then found, with the Green Coins appearing around Fire Piranha Plants and more falling Ice Chunks. The player must cross over a row of Ice Chunks that Fire Piranha Plants below can make fall, followed by more Ice Chunks that fall from above, some of which having Koopa Troopas on them. After two more Fire Piranha Plants, the Goal Pole is found.

The third Star Coin is found after a long series of floating Ice Chunks. The player must quickly dash across said Ice Chunks before their corresponding Frozen Coins melt to collect the Star Coin. |
