Quotes from
"Overture" (Super Mario Galaxy)
Quoted by
"Squizzard" (Super Mario Galaxy 2)

"Ice Mario"[1][2] is a musical theme composed by Mahito Yokota for Super Mario Galaxy, where it plays while the player is in their Ice form after obtaining a Ice Flower. This theme quotes "Overture" from the same game at the beginning. Much like "Rainbow Mario" from the same game and "Switch On!" from New Super Mario Bros., the theme's tempo speeds up as the time limit runs out.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy marks the first appearance of "Ice Mario". An arrangement of "Ice Mario" with an altered melody, titled "Fire Mario" (which also includes a faint arrangement of "Invincibility BGM"), plays whenever the player obtains a Fire Flower. This arrangement uses a brass hit originating from the song "Get Up Offa That Thing" by James Brown starting approximately 10 seconds in. Both themes return for the same purpose in the Nintendo Switch ports, Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Super Mario Galaxy. Both are also included in the official Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack album.

Main article: Squizzard (theme)

In Super Mario Galaxy 2 and its Nintendo Switch port, a remix of "Fire Mario" plays whenever the player obtains a Fire Flower. This remix adds a cuica and additional synthesizer to the instrumentation.

An arrangement of "Fire Mario" is incorporated into "Squizzard", the theme that plays when fighting Squizzard. The arrangement is dynamically added to the theme while the player is in Fire Mario form, though the tempo does not speed up as the power-up's time limit runs out. Like the game's "Fire Mario" remix and "Squizzard" itself, this arrangement incorporates a cuica. "Squizzard" is also included in the official Super Mario Galaxy 2 Original Soundtrack album and on Nintendo Music, where the regular and Fire Mario versions are played in sequence on the same track.

An unused version of "Ice Mario" exists in the game's files, with a louder instrument used for it.

Other appearances[edit]

Super Nintendo World[edit]

At the Super Nintendo World theme park, arrangements of "Ice Mario" and "Fire Mario" that exclude the intro play when collecting an Ice Flower or Fire Flower respectively in the Frosted Glacier interactive.
