Frosted Glacier: Difference between revisions

'''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 (world)|Peach's Castle]]. The world's name is a pun on {{wp|Icing (food)|frosting}}, which covers baked goods, and {{wp|Frost|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 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''; however, Frosted Glacier takes place during a constellation-filled night, and the ''{{wp|Aurora|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 Course]]s 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 Bro]]s. are fought.

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.
