Ice Chunk

Ice Chunks^[1] are star-shaped spinning platforms appearing in New Super Mario Bros. U and its remake. They function much like Iron Blocks, in that they are giant blocks affected by gravity that can crush the player upon impact, except that its surfaces have low traction. They only appear in the level Piranha Plants on Ice, where they are extremely common throughout the level, falling once a Fire Piranha Plant melts the Frozen Coin underneath it.
