Frosted Glacier is the snowy fourth world of New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, lying northeast of Layer-Cake Desert, Sparkling Waters, and Acorn Plains, north of Soda Jungle, northwest of Rock-Candy Mines and Meringue Clouds, and west of Peach's Castle. The world's name is a pun on frosting, which covers baked goods, and frost, which covers icy surfaces. Frosted Glacier is a cold and snowy world with pine trees and indigo mountains. This makes the world similar to World 5 from New Super Mario Bros.; however, Frosted Glacier takes place during a constellation-filled night, and the aurora borealis can be seen in the background of the overworld and some stages. Like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the music for the snow overworld levels is a winter-themed arrangement of the regular overworld theme in the game.
This world is one of two worlds that the player can choose from after beating Morton in Morton's Compactor Castle (Morton's Lava-Block Castle in New Super Luigi U), with the other being Sparkling Waters. Because of this, it is possible to play through the game without ever reaching Frosted Glacier. There are 9 levels in this world; five of them are the regular levels, two are the Tower and Castle levels, one is a Ghost House, and one is a secret level. The Tower boss is Boom Boom with a jumping ability and the Castle boss of this world is Wendy O. Koopa. The Bubble Baby Yoshi makes their appearance on the map, and there are Cooligan Enemy Courses present.
Frosted Glacier also appears in the premade world in the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft. It appears to use elements from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, such as snow-covered mountains from that game, and an ice ring similar to the one where Ice Brothers are fought.
The picture frame used for screenshots from Frosted Glacier on the New Super Luigi U official Japanese website refers to the location as Sherbet Falls.

Other appearances
Monopoly Gamer
Frosted Glacier is the seventh property on the game board in Monopoly Gamer. It is one of two properties in the Orange Color Set (along with Cooligan Fields).
Super Mario Party
The setting of the minigame Tall Order from Super Mario Party heavily resembles Frosted Glacier due to the tall fir trees and starry night sky seen in the background.
Super Mario Maker 2
Frosted Glacier appears in Super Mario Maker 2 as the snow theme in the New Super Mario Bros. U style. Unlike in the original game, it is set in the day as well as at night. The night theme uses a new background instead of the default background from said game.
