Ice Mario (Super Mario Galaxy): Difference between revisions
(→Cameos: They're not Ice Mario themselves, though, and as such certainly aren't "cameos." Also, the last one makes me think of the Snow Spirits from M&S@TOWG for DS more, showing there have been PLENTY of unrelated stylized hexagon snowflakes.) |
(But they are his platforms exactly! Also the Snow Spirits are completely different from ice Mario's platforms, not to mention more colorful and barley look anything like them and there is no reason to make these platforms have their own article either.) Tag: Undo |

Template:Form-infobox Ice Mario is a form that Mario can take upon touching an Ice Flower in Super Mario Galaxy. In this form, Mario's body turns into solid ice and he gains the ability to skate on water. A vastly different form of the same name appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and onwards.
History
Super Mario Galaxy
While in this form, any water or lava Mario touches freezes solid in the form of a hexagonal platform (which melts after a period of time if left unoccupied). This allows Mario to walk or skate across vast distances of water or lava with ease and safety. Ice Mario can also freeze water spouts and waterfalls, which usually grant him passage to higher areas. This form also makes its user immune to fire attacks, as seen when a Magikoopa fires a fireball at Mario; it also prevents damage from torches when the player jumps on it. Ice Mario can also safely defeat ice bats by spinning and stomping. Like Fire Mario, this power-up has a time limit.
A downside of this power-up is that Ice Mario's midair spin is diminished. Ice Mario's midair spin gains almost no height, unlike Mario's regular form. Therefore, Ice Mario cannot jump as high.
This power-up is introduced in the Freezeflame Galaxy, but can also be found in the Beach Bowl Galaxy and the Deep Dark Galaxy. Ice Mario is one of two power-ups in the game that was not carried over to its sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, the other being Flying Mario.
Mario Kart Tour
Ice Mario appears as a High-End driver in Mario Kart Tour, introduced as part of the Ice Tour. His special item is the Ice Flower. Ice Mario appears as a variant to Metal Mario due to sharing the same animations as him and lacking irises (although they still can be seen in his artwork, which is reused from Super Mario Galaxy), but has the same voice clips as regular Mario's (albeit with a harsher reverb).
Cameos
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Large ice platforms appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, they appear on the Hot and Cold Planet in the Shiverburn Galaxy. Ice will drop from the sky and form a temporary path of them to the Launch Star.
Mario Golf World Tour
In Mario Golf World Tour, When using an Ice Flower via item shots. The players ball encased in an ice ball can freeze terrain wherever it bounces, each bounce makes ice platforms appear and also letting the ball bypass water hazards.
Mario Tennis Aces

Profiles

Trivia
- The music played during the duration of this power up in Super Mario Galaxy closely resembles the music played for Fire Mario, but is played in A minor.
- Although the form does not appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, an updated version of the theme that plays is present on the disc. The models for the Ice Flower, Ice Mario, and Ice Luigi are not, though there is code that can spawn the Ice Flower. Due to the lack of coding for Ice Mario as well as the lack of coding for the text box that appears upon initially collecting it, attempting to collect said Ice Flower results in the game crashing.[1]
